Have you met this friend in person? How confident are you this story is real?

I'm curious if this actually ends up being significantly lighter though.

I doubt it'll end up replacing a conventional two stroke motorcycle, as it's far more complex. But I could see it used in aircraft.

BELOW absolute zero?

That makes things get real weird.

GNU isn't entirely infinite though. After unpacking GNU is Not Unix 10^45 times, you actually find out what the final G is for.

Got a farm and fleet or a tractor supply near you?

You have to get the file from Amazon first in a format that deDRM works on. That's the trouble here.

Kindle for PC still works, but you have to find an old version and disable updates.

I have Plex running alongside Jellyfin.

When transcoding video, Plex uses an extra 5 watts of power. Jellyfin uses an extra 55 watts.

Jellyfin also has security holes for accessing videos via URL without being authenticated.

I don't feel like Jellyfin is ready for being exposed to the internet.

It's off by default, but it allows you to turn it on in the advanced settings. Seems like a good compromise, especially since it lets you whitelist clients.

If you were using the router as a secondary network, like for IoT or homelab, it would kind of make sense to allow SSH or other logins from WAN, as long as the WAN was also your network and not the open internet.

Took a while to find a list of router models, I doubt this is an exclusive list, but at least bleeping computer has a list at all.

The threat monitoring firm reports that the attacks combine brute-forcing login credentials, bypassing authentication, and exploiting older vulnerabilities to compromise ASUS routers, including the RT-AC3100, RT-AC3200, and RT-AX55 models.

Kinda tricky to tell what exactly I'm supposed to check.

I run an ASUS RT-AX86S

To check if the settings have been compromised:
Log into the router under http://192.168.1.1/
Advanced Settings/Administration
System tab
Service section
Enable SSH should be set to OFF

Piracy has none of these problems.

Once again, playing by the rules is a worse experience.

I owned three cars with hand cranks, and all of them broke at least once.

I've owned four cars with power windows and none of them have failed.

I'm not even sure the complexity of the gearing on a hand crank window is cheaper than a motor driven one. I'd like to see stats on that.

There's no such thing as too simple to document. If you spent time learning how to install it, you'll need to relearn it if you want to make any changes in the future. If you don't leave at least some notes as to why you make some decisions, you'll have to redo your work.

It's also good to make notes on every configuration setting. That forces you to understand why the settings are the way they are. If you have a -f in a docker config and you don't have any understanding of why that's there, you might not know if it's a development flag for getting things set up, or if it's a critical part of your environment.

It is especially important if any of those parts are exposed to the public Internet. You might have a config set to allow unauthenticated connections and not know it.

So they're getting paid to short cut the build process of air force one to avoid the consequences of their previous shirt cut efforts?

Solid logic there.

As someone who lives solidly in corn maze country, this is a well used joke whenever the topic of corn mazes comes up. Which means I hear it about twice a week throughout the fall.

A lot of cars don't include a spare tire anymore.

Last couple times I looked, it was more expensive to buy the oil and filter than to go to my local mechanic to get an oil change.

I appreciate that it's good to know how to do these things, but it really seems like there's no reason most people need to actually do them with a current model year vehicle.

So we're back onto Don't Ask Don't Tell, just with a slightly narrower scope (for now)

They're riding high off the early adopter sales spike, and now it's dropping fast.

We're at least 2 years out from seeing any on the road, much less generally available.

It also doesn't exist yet. I'm very skeptical that it's going to be actually offered at the $27,500 price point.

Deliveries expected in Q4 2026, which means we'll probably get a few trucks rolling out in their premium price point in early 2027, and maybe get some of the base models in 2028.

I also don't see a backup camera screen (might be one in the rear view, but they don't say) which means it can't be sold as advertised. They list a whole bunch of customization stuff, which means it's going to need a lot of modification hard points, how is it going to handle crash tests and rollover tests?

They're early specs are wildly out of line with current offerings, which means they either need an unprecedented team of engineers, or it's not going to be even close to how it's listed when actually sold.
