He sold it into PayPal, then bought it back from PayPal a couple years ago.

Not sure how trademarks work, but I think it gets stickier when it's used for different purposes. like how there's Starcraft trailers and the game.

darganon ,

Teslas are at or very near the bottom of often stolen car lists, by a wide margin.

darganon ,

No, because they normalize and have a relative metric.

The most stolen car is an SRT hellcat, which has a total production run well under Model 3 production in a single quarter.

There are many quite loud alerts when FSD is active in subpar circumstances about how it is degraded, and the car will slow down. That video was pretty foggy, I'd say the dude wasn't paying attention.

I came up on a train Sunday evening in the dark, which I hadn't had happen in FSD, so I decided to just hit the brakes. It saw the crossing arms as blinking stoplights, probably wouldn't have stopped?

Either way that dude was definitely not paying attention.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

Netflix is a public company, you can just go look at how wrong you are about this.

They took in $9.3 billion in Q1 2024, and spent $702 million on "technology" and $3.7 billion on adding "content assets"

Their net profit was $2.3 billion, for one quarter. They could afford to just charge less money, but the line must go up.

darganon ,

I saw this headline and immediately thought "ArmouryCrate is the reason"

I certainly avoid ASUS stuff after discovering that piece of nonsense on my new install.

darganon ,

Isn't this a place for memes?

darganon ,

Projectivy Launcher works great. Set it as default on your Chromecast and never see the main UI again!

darganon ,

I miss liftoff.

darganon ,

I only upgraded for the nicer camera. I have so many pictures that are blurry that I think springing for a little nicer camera is worth it. But yeah, the tech is pretty stagnant.

darganon ,

There's nothing pedantic about using Arch. There's a reason it and its derivatives are so popular.

Way to show off how not-pedantic you are!

darganon ,

Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

I have a Lenovo TS140 in the laundry room, i3-4330, 16GB, 2TB of SSD running arch.

In docker I am running:

Plex, Wire guard, Qbittorrent, Pihole, my discord bot, nginx, and Teslamate.

Works great, I'm probably going to swap my gaming rig in (5800x + 3080 12GB) with more RAM to host some AI stuff and the same services.

darganon ,

It's windows security center, Everything search, locales, sound settings, time, copilot, surely not that bad.

Everything is installed by the user, not sure why the locales are there, but maybe he swaps keyboard layouts?

darganon ,

I have a Tesla, they make it extremely clear that you are never supposed to touch autopilot under any circumstances, and you have to go way out of your way to prevent it from disengaging while you're not paying attention.

darganon ,

Manipulating gigantic log files can do it for me.

darganon ,

They're going to screw their business customers to claw back value for themselves?

darganon ,

Why, though?

I'm pretty cynical, but this is a new level.

Greedy breeders already "produce" more dogs than there are loving families for and as a result dog shelters are constantly full with sad dogs who don´t have a home. This drug will result in shelters getting even more overcrowded.

My dog lives longer and shelters get more crowded? That's a complete non-sequitor. Much like my choice of lunch doesn't impact your lunch situation.

Perhaps my reading comprehension is poor, but the article seems to indicate that the pill will give a dog more "active years" and not necessarily more years. I guess we'll find out in four years when it's done.

darganon ,

Not all breeders are puppy mills, or producing brachycephalic breeds, but they are out there, and there's other breeders putting longer noses on pugs and Frenchies.

darganon ,

If people stop paying for dogs, they will stop breeding them to sell.

Also, I accept death as part of life, but I still look both ways before crossing the street. I'm not getting off this ride any sooner than I have to.

darganon ,

Artificial insemination is common with the breeders I am familiar with. Though I'm not sure breeding racks are necessarily animal abuse, dogs in heat are fucking horny.

darganon ,

If Nvidia started completely half-arsing their Windows drivers, nobody would blame Microsoft

This is happened with Vista, amongst other problems.

darganon ,

By percent I bet the amount of people using nitter is miniscule, meaning Twitter spent a lot of time making sure a small amount of people can't access the tweets.

darganon ,

Optimal tip-to-tip efficiency has been achieved.

darganon ,

They installed it for us at work as part of a project, and we went to ask the ansible guy wtf we could use it for in a windows world, and he couldn't articulate how it would be an improvement in any way over a scheduled task.

darganon ,

Agreed entirely.

darganon ,

Lol, I have a Tesla and enjoy Google and all(most) of the their products. Lemmy is unhinged about these things.

darganon ,

Wayland being so Nvidia hostile while Nvidia is the only name for AI is kind of a kick in the balls

darganon ,

Anti cheat is whatever, it's adding a gigantic target for malware. Privacy is great, but it's literally just adding an attack vector.

darganon ,

Is it possible to root for both sides to lose in court?

Apple sucks, but it's their platform, their rules. Android exists, so saying they have a monopoly doesn't seem right, because they have a monopoly over people that choose to use their products.

Epic wants access to those people, without paying for it.

Ideally neither company would exist, but they're both not "right" either.

darganon ,

I'm not an antitrust lawyer, but I suspect the fact that Android exists makes iPhone not a monopoly.

AT&T owned the phone lines and the equipment, leading to that problem. So if Apple went and bought all of the cell service providers and said "You're only allowed to use iPhones" that would be similar, and they would probably cease to exist relatively quickly.

darganon ,

His router fucked up reporting stats.

darganon ,

I'm on mint, and just waiting for T-Mobile to come after us. Nothing this beautiful can last.
