Lemme know when they get DOOM running on that RealDoll.

Prime candidate for a roundabout conversion.

Oh no, they’re gonna prosecute me for… Um…

Academically citing their own definition of terrorism as a label for their activities! The horror!

Nuclear isn’t an energy source that can ramp up or down with demand. In fact, it can take hours to adjust the output.
While nuclear still has a place, that particular place is flat energy input and black start sites.

Stop calling them federal agents. They are, by legal definition, domestic terrorists.

The Department of Homeland Security defines terrorism as a premeditated threat or act of violence, against persons, property, environmental, or economic targets, to induce fear or to intimidate, coerce or affect a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof…^[1]

Between this and the large swathes of asphalt for driving and parking, of course every city is boiling hot.

Stop routing highways through cities and start making bike lanes, dammit!

So shrink 'em down then. They’re only that big due to the old CARB or CAFE regulations anyways (I forget which), and those are gone now too. So you can sell them domestically at that smaller size too.

In fact, I’m curious on what the size and weight limits are, and if the Slate truck will fit within them. It’ll be awesome if it can sell as-is with no modifications.

Or protected bike paths.
Or trams and LRTs.
Or even just some goddamn EV subsidies again.

Perfect opportunity for someone to deploy some spray paint.

Oh hey, a second reason to carry a schrader valve tool in my bike storage! Time to give every car here a pair of flat left tires.

Sounds like an improvement to me.

Heh, it’s on the right track. But as an IT guy and tech nerd, I’d want to go for something like this. I’ve even set mine up for computer logins back when I had an Active Directory test environment for learning.

Isn’t there a thing where car thiefs use an RF booster to make newer cars think the keyfob is right next to the receiver?

Personally, I’d want an antenna on/off switch that gets activated by shoving it in the keyfob hole. Seems reasonably secure.

Easy check, grab a voltmeter and do it yourself.
Pull the plug, set voltmeter to AC, and read the voltage across the prongs. If you get anything over the usual float voltage you get from just holding the probes ungrounded, then you have a problem.

Redundancies and failsafes are always a best practice in engineering work. This is no different.

If I’m reading it right, it’s kinda like how that one guy “hacked” 70,000 robot vacuums. Bad scope limits.
Game uses token to do the rich presence stuff, and instead of just getting a confirmation back, it gets everything.

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Still not planning on buying any of their games, but if this move encourages more overall Linux developments… Well, we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I mean, yeah? You give anything a connection to a global network with billions of people, and there will always be a chance for it to be exploited. Hell, even my personal OpenVPN instance for remotely accessing my home servers has to fend off attacks.

This is why my next vehicle will be a slate truck. Zero internet connectivity by default, and updates can be done via USB-C from a phone (which can be vetted as needed).
