  • Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims

    Jump

  • Really needs to back this up with some corroborating evidence like Google maps location timeline or something. I don’t trust Tesla, but I also know when I switched to EV I started making excuses to drive everywhere. Practically free miles and great acceleration made driving a joy again. Also my wife and I would often swap vehicles if she had some errand across town to save on gas. Combined that out way more miles in my EV than I had been putting on the previous gas car.

    If all this guy did is commute, then he likely has a case, but I really question that.

  • What was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?

    Jump

  • The moon was spun out of the same stuff as the earth. That was fact in the early years of my education. A few years later there were multiple theories: co development, captured a wandering planetoid, the Thea impact, and a fourth one I can’t remember but I think it was something dumb like planetary mitosis. By the time I graduated the Thea impact was considered the only viable theory.

  • There’s a little explanation in that it costs to get in to the race. So naturally people wouldn’t want to waste the attempt, except there’s always someone that will pay the fee and try just about anything.

  • Trump insists ‘I know what the hell I’m doing’ as his tariffs unleash carnage

    Jump

  • Either he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or he does and this is the desired results. Both options are terrifying for the future.

  • YSK: Here's a list of browser extensions to un-shittify Youtube

  • Just don’t look?

    Annoying that they clog the search results I guess, but they are a great way for creators to drive engagement with their long form content. Sports has guided me to some really interesting content I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

  • Putin to conscript 160,000 more Russians for war with Ukraine

    Jump

  • That’s the other guys point. We haven’t used it since the 70s, but the system is still in place to be used. Easy to fire it up again.

  • Show me your iOS/macOS bugs

  • Not all Live Photos can be used for Lock Screen. You get an error saying this photo can’t be animated or some shit. Many different hardware versions and latest software.

  • I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists?

    Jump

  • Ford is kinda doing it. The Mustang MachE and the f150 lightning both have physical keys, but the MachE and higher trim lightnings are very touch screen dependent. They have all the driving stalks and such, but to even turn the ac settings requires touch screen and worse menus. The lightning lower trims (XLT and pro) have a smaller screen and a lot more physical controls. There are still a couple things that are buried in the touch screen, but most anything you need while driving has a physical button. Pull a fuse to disable modems and it can’t even phone home to Ford anymore.

    If you can find a 23 XLT you might even be able to get the extended range battery. 24 and later all ER batteries were tied to trim packages that included the big screen and fewer buttons.

    If you can fleet order, you can get Pro trims with ERs, but they’re really hard to find in the wild.

  • Reason enough to not buy American? Panel kept down with a zip tie...

    Jump

  • At is best that panel is held on with some glue. The zip tie is an upgrade.

  • A third of Americans don't drive. So why is our transportation so car-centric?

    Jump

  • I mean why are we still asking why? We know why. The American dream involved a house and a car. The great American road trip. The lack of high speed rail. All of that got us here. The real question is what’s keeping us stuck here? And the answer is politics. Solve the oligarchy issue and you might be able to take on the projects we’re need to do away with car centric culture. Get people in office that value infrastructure over military might, and will stop subsidizing car and gas companies. A small thing any of us can do is, when job searching, require companies to justify why a job must be in office instead of remote and unless it makes sense, don’t accept in office requirements. That last one is arguable more difficult if you’re in desperate need of a job, but in other conditions, try it.

  • Roku’s Moana 2 controversy is part of a bigger ad problem

    Jump

  • “All these streaming services trying to make money off your data are bad” says article that requires a membership to read. I’m OOTL on whatever this Roku Moana controversy is and I guess I’ll remain that way, at least as long as the source is Vox.

  • You'll never test enough for the end user

    Jump

  • So one night we’re playing a modern era game and the BBEG and her husband are “holding court” at a very expensive night club. So all the PCs get dressed fancy, rent a limo, and bribe the bouncer heftily to let us in. A quick persuasion check and we’re in and snooping around. The GM wads up about a whole notebook. “I had plans for you to come in through the skylight, sneak through the kitchen, break in through the fire exit, even find a secret door to the basement. I never thought you’d just go in through the front door.”

    So sometimes it’s the GM that fails to plan the simple solution.

  • US warns French companies they must comply with Trump's diversity ban

    Jump

  • Like, how the fuck can you enforce that?

    US Auditor: you have a DEI program?

    CEO: non

    US: what’s with all the woman, gays, and blacks?

    CEO: they are jee most qualeefied

    US: well…. Get more rich white men in here or we won’t be doing business.

    CEO: zat sounds like affirmative action.

    US: what?

    Please forgive me trying to phonetically type a French accent, but again, this is some seriously dumb shit.

  • Containers Explained

  • To be fair Kubernetes creates copies of the things it drops into the ocean to replace them as fast as they’re lost.

  • Am I reading this right? You came from a... happy, loving home?

    Jump

  • People who come from happy living homes in fantasy settings have no motivation to risk their lives and that happy home for an adventure.

    The things that make the happy loving home work as a background are characters that either want to duck an arranged marriage or are so far down the inheritance chain they are going to be life long mooches if they stay.

  • The Big Question: would you still buy a Tesla?

    Jump

  • I Would fucking love an affordable EV kit for Jeep wrangler TJs. While we’re dreaming, Honda Goldwings/Valkyries also, though that couldn’t start from a Tesla. I really want an electric motorcycle with a more classic road bike look instead of a sport bike.
