  • So... Comically evil?

  • You should take a look at Withings. Uou have to like the analog retro look, but it has all thoses features (including ECG).

  • On OpenSUSE, in Yast bootloader tool, there is a checkbox to to do something like locking the bootloader (it has been a while, I don't remember the exact thingy). Rebooted and oh, surprise, the bootloader was locked... Which mean Grub didn't load.

    I had to reinstall the whole OS 🤣

  • I stand corrected then, my apologies for not researching the topic enough.

    Still, having to find an external power source ton open your own car is kinda badly designed. 😅

  • I don't know that much the architecture behind Tesla cars, but the door handles thing is what kept them out. And the fact that the low voltage battery as you call it was a pain to replace.

  • It is a good thing they changed then. I have multiple acquaintance who own Teslas who got locked up of their car because of the lack of this feature.

  • Probably due to the legacy of their first car, which was a gas car (a Lexus if I recall correctly) converted to a fully electric car. To minimize what they had to change, they kept the electronic circuitry as is and just changed the propulsion. Problem is, a gas car has its internal engine to heat up the battery. Electric car doesn't.

  • Investors have money, not brain. I remember an experiment where their compared a fund run by people and another one run by investing totally randomly. The second one won. Investment has never about being good at it, it was always luck that ran the game. We just hear a lot more about those who won big rather the those who ruined themselves.

  • The problem with Tesla cars is that they uses two batteries. One is the main one, which is used for propulsion, and the other one, a conventional car battery, is used for most of the critical electronic.

    Problem is, both are independent from each other, which mean you can have a full main battery, and still be locked out of your car if the secondary on is out. And those batteries hate cold.

    You can have a similar results with gas car, where the ignition won't happen because of the cold, but at least you can recharge it easily with another car that happens to pass by. For Teslas, you can't. Because those fuckers decided that it was too unsightly to see the bare battery, and bolted a plastic turd over it to make sure the only person to ever be able to change it is a Tesla tech.

    All other car manufacturers, which happens to have a bit more experience than those asses, understood that being able to have an unified battery, that happens to be thermally insulated (and often in the nordic countries, heated), to make sure you actually use them, even in cold weather.

    Tesla cars are a perfect example of a product that only survive out of hype. They are overall badly designed, arguably ugly, their only redeeming quality was their autopilot, but even that is starting to crack.

  • Which seem to be the same policy as Israel, barred being caught on camera. 😏

  • Problem is that the only one able to provide such proof are the Israeli army, using their counter-battery radars and the likes.

    So unless there is enough third party geolocated videos to triangulate the point of origin, nobody can be sure.

    Another possibility would be for Hamas to provide a video of their launches, even after the fact, to prove their good will. But on the other hand they can't just give away their launch points.

  • War is never a good thing, no matter the opponent's relative strength. Unfortunately the human ego is often too strong to accept compromises...

  • The same can be said of the US. But at least they are still a democracy. But for how long?

  • I pity them for not managing to dodge the draft. Or for believing in the Kremlin propaganda and willingly going to be slaughtered.

  • Yet another innocent victim of the Putin regime.

  • In a way, it affects the environment, which is our shared common heritage. It may not affect the World right now, but may affect it in the future.

  • Just a question. News has to be international noteworthy, or any non-US local news are post worthy?

    By that I mean that a lot of very region specific news has been posted by what seem to be bots (5-6 news articles posted in less than 1-2 minutes), most of which has no significant impact outside of its very specific area.

  • I think it is a bit retouched. But i don't think it is AI generated.

  • You should take a closer look at heterochromia.
