That is only the motor, not the valve, correct?

Articles that start with "Elon Musk says..." 😄

This category of articles is getting more and more hilarious recently.

A world where Us has ultimately superior weapons is ultimately doomed no matter what the idea was.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

we’ll have to wait to discover if Europe is satisfied with Apple’s doing or if the company is still promoting anticompetitive behavior.

I don't understand why is this a question at all.

Of course it is. Very obviously it would be anticompetitive behavior.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

sites that I won't mention but they are a better fit.

I would be very interested, too. Could you send me a link?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Just don't forget the BIG circuit breakers.
Some day we are going to need them.

Scientists Use WiFi to See Through People's Walls (www.popularmechanics.com)

“We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”

Tesla charging stations become ‘car graveyards’ as batteries die in subzero temperatures, abandoned cars left in the lot after cars wouldn’t charge (www.kansascity.com)

They would get towed pretty soon.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Then the battery heating should work from the external energy.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

I don't know why they made it that way,

I think it has to do with Hanlon's razor

Proxmox Ubuntu VM has "graphical" console

This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully it makes sense. I don't think a screenshot would help because everything "LOOKS" fine. But the characters in my Ubuntu VM console look funny. And I can't drag my mouse across the text to select it. Nor cacn I right-click. The console works fine, and I can run commands. I don't see...

NeoNachtwaechter ,

I have a feeling you’re talking about the TTY.

I got the same creepy feeling.

Like someone trying to talk about fork and knife who has never seen fork and knife before :-)

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Because it isn't.

To these kind of people, pursuing their own ideas is so much more important than feeding all humans on the planet, just for example.

But the defendant still has to put the funds up in the first place? It's a huge gamble

Good point. Actually it isn't a huge gamble in Germany, other than in Usa (which is again the extremely worst example).

Costs of legal defense are moderate. There is a public tariff for lawyer costs and for court fees. So the only areas where you even have a chance to spend huge amounts are finding or creating evidence (private investigators etc), or hiring too many lawyers.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

It is not "the" problem.

It is thinkable in theory, but it is not a normal thing to happen. Also, you would not just "drown" the defendant, but the court as well, and then they may smell the misuse.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

That linked text is very, very wrong.

Better delete your comment about it, from lemmy and from your brain.

Humans slow down over time. Computers slow down over time.

Since we don't know any more details, I put my $.02 on a cheap plastic router that wants to get rebooted sometimes.

Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla (www.cnn.com)

In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns....

NeoNachtwaechter ,

no interest in buying one

Did you mean a car, or a share?

Oh, wait... it doesn't matter.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

we're just watching the Tesla board grit their teeth and look worried.

Bad strategy IMHO. Coupling their fate to one person's ever declining mental health cannot bring anything else than their decline.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

It has become a fake discussion already.

It is not the question anymore whether work at home is better or work at the office. It is not the question whether you go back to the place where you have worked before.

It is big bosses fabricating excuses for laying off people.

How? They have closed your old office long ago. Now they tell you that another place in a different state is "your" office. Now go and "return" to there. Or they have hired you for WfH with no plans to ever work in an office, and now they tell you to "return" to somewhere.

And then you can watch them moaning and whining how so many of their employees people just do not want to "return", and therefore they need stronger policies...

NeoNachtwaechter ,

They asked me to come back

on their knees? LOL

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Yes, but for Apple's own profit, not the customers. It's the good old 'divide et impera' strategy

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_rule

NeoNachtwaechter ,

I’m pretty sure it was also for compliance with local laws.

I really don't know if they have separate app stores between north and south Korea :-)

For all the rich "western" countries, there is only the one legal-cultural difference between (former) British empire and the Latin influenced world. All other law differences are minor.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

What a bullshit show.

It is worth nothing as long as there are any admins still sitting inside of Usa who have (or can gain) access to these systems.

Or any bosses of such admins.

Or any police, or other officials, or persons with weapons.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

They LET us KEEP our data.

No, not at all!

They let us GIVE them our data, and all their software makes us generous with it.

Anybody in his right minds wouldn't connect a washing machine to WiFi in the first place.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

My washing machine has wi-fi. I didn't buy it for that reason, but it just happens to. Using the app

So you did not just connect it to your home wifi, but you also allowed the vendor to connect it to their servers. Now the vendor knows the name of your WiFi and the password. Just to begin with. Next year maybe this vendor's website will get hacked and 20000 such wifi passwords go public in some darknet :-)

Using the app, I have some programme options that aren't possible to select using the hardware dials.

Who benefits? You may find it cool to have it in the app, but FIRST the vendor has saved some of their money by not building the needed dials and buttons for these functions. (Or did they give you that discount? ;-))

And maybe in 3 years from now, they don't feel like maintaining your app anymore. Are you going to shout "WARRANTY" at them?

I just can't see the big downside here (other than the fact that the machine is more complicated than it needs to be

Yes, that is a downside, too. Part of this 'smartness' could break and maybe even the whole thing stops working when these 'diagnostics' give false data.

Another huge point is: My washing machines so far have lasted between 8 - 15 years. But NEVER has any wifi-active device lived that long. Think about this difference, and who's the one who benefits from it?

Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?

I'm trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it's better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that by...

NeoNachtwaechter ,

actually have a server at home

I haven't got any piece of hardware that was sold with the firstname "Server".

But there's this self-built PC in my room that's running 24/7 without having to reboot in several years...
