Hilux >>>>>> Cybertruck

It would be a crying shame if someone were to figure out a way to force those e ink displays to refresh fast enough that it kills the batteries on those things...

If you're not afraid of picking up a wrench yourself:

I just switched to an OPNSense router on protectli hardware.

You don't have to use something like that to use OPNSense though, you can just put it on nearly any old machine with a couple of nics. The out of the box config isn't terrible and you can find a ton of guides on how to set yourself up securely.

I've still got my old Anova, Bluetooth one. I don't even use the app ever, I can set it up with the wheel and buttons. Still works great after like 5+ years. That said, I won't be recommending them to anyone going forward.

I like to think of it as "a little extra sweetness"

I was super precious about all my cast iron for a long time. Then I had a thought watching this "cowboy" YouTuber wash his cast iron with some specialty thing.

"This fucking guy is like pretending to be out on the pasture or whatever. In the actual 1800s, this shit was probably just wiped out, or they used lye soap or something ridiculous! Why the fuck am I being so fucking careful?!?"

Now I do not care, like I've had my shit get rusty, crusty, "overheated", the reality is that it's a big ass chunk of metal! Short of deformation or intentional or extreme neglect (leaving it in the rain uncovered for 40 years) you will not destroy it.

If it gets too "sticky", you oil it up and heat it, and bingo, it's fine again.

That's nice, but it's no Econoline.

Nate Silver is a prime example of this thing that happens a lot with technical people. They get good at describing what is and then they start to think they understand "why". Sometimes a good understanding can lead you to the why of a situation, but often you need actual experts to analyze the data you've collected.

The whole thing about the way his methods work is based on not actually understanding the interactions of the inputs he's selected.

His book was interesting, but I wouldn't trust his analysis too much.

I've seen one flying around Lemmy since I've been here at least.

Capitalism has zero place in healthcare.

It can never be a "free market" only ever coerced.

Burn it down (the financial apparatus, not the hospitals, duh) and empty the accounts of the "owners."

Fuck that, we should be measuring everything in Stone.

I'll take a seventh stone of chicken please.

And lengths in Royal cubits.

If we're gonna go weird we need to go all the way.

I doubt many squids have 401ks, so this tracks. As you were.

That feeling when you invite the cancer in.

So how long till the Supremes rule that CBP is not only allowed to search your phone but also to perform colonoscopies at checkpoints 100 miles inland and sell the resulting videos to extremely wealthy perverts?

Batman is the bad guy and I will die on that hill.

All you gotta do is ignore it and it becomes a weird little internet thing. And here we are lol

Beyond any issues with the owner of the company, these cars have multiple dangerous issues.

You cannot treat a company that makes physical stuff that can endanger lives the same way you treat a software company that makes a leisure activity platform.

Iterative design for a purely software environment is way more forgiving than iterative design for physical hardware or even software that interacts with physical hardware. You can profoundly fuck up the backend for a website and take the whole thing down until you could roll back to last known good production, you won't kill anyone, but you'll make the line go down temporarily.

If you profoundly fuck up an iteration on an embedded vehicle system and don't catch it because you don't respect safety regulation or existing engineering norms you can and will kill people.

Analogue doesn't have firmware that can reject a device based on id.

So you can reverse engineer a replacement part if you absolutely have to.

Just make sure it won't interact badly with your meds. Grapefruit is weird.

Ugh. I can smell that through the Wi-Fi.
