Toyota is way too conservative. After nailing hybrid tech early on, it seems like they wasted the opportunity to put it on every vehicle they make which would have been such an amazing step forward, instead of treating it as a weird niche for so long.

Also that bz4x or whatever deserves a spot on the worst cars of all time list, just straight up ewaste.

The problem is Matt Mullenweg, he’s the source of all the drama (and to quote someone else, he’s Musk, but coded in php lol).

There’s a good long form write up here: https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire-matt (Sorry, not exactly a tldr, but I found this article this interesting)

It maintains the same temp, even when hot water temp or pressure is changing

I can’t speak for everyone but here’s what mine like like:

This is such a gross move from MS, that will inevitably create more e-waste, just like their dumbass TPM 2.0 requirement.

Having said that, if anyone is looking for a solution (that isn’t just switch to Linux lol), I was able to turn my ancient Canon laser (with very tricky driver setup), into a driverless airprint model by using a raspberry pi as an intermediary.

You can connect your usb/wifi printer on the pi, and through cups/ avahi, host an airprint server on your network for any devices (desktop, laptop, phone, or whatever).

I think I used this guide before: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-airprint/

This is a top gear bit lol

Honestly, this is such a nice silver lining, my 3080 that’s like 6 years old is still working fine even on newer titles since no one is making/ buying better cards (or cards with more VRAM) in large quantities.

I can’t remember having a GPU this old that was still relevant, my old 780ti was so limited by its 3gb vram.

I have a zojirushi rice cooker that’s similar and I love it!

Other then that my oven, coffee maker, kettle, kitchen fan all have the same shrill beep that’s hard to know what’s what.

No joke, this is exactly why I cancelled Spotify and went back to piracy!

They “”accidentally“” started playing ads one night, didn’t apologize or offer any refunds, and it was the easiest decision ever to dust off my pirate hat and not look back.

No regrets!

Absolutely pathetic by EU leadership. We’re still 10 years away, with plenty of time for them to retool their factories, and come out with new models, and they’re already giving up (“””pushing the date back””” lol).

Steam deck has basically always been out of stock in Japan online. The Komodo reseller has done a terrible job here, and I hope that when Valve releases the next gen of hardware (machine, frame, controller) they’ll have the foresight to work with someone better, or sell it themselves.

I’ve bought/ imported a ton of electronics hardware for both personal and work use, and Komodo is not good.

There’s an Interesting history of American cars in Japan. Ford had an incredible failure here, and had to leave with egg on their face, which is incredible because the mandatory vehicle inspections every couple of years make it the easiest country on the planet for dealerships to make money.

They tax vehicles by engine displacement though, so all those massive engines would be super unpopular, and as I understand it, they also shipped left hand drive cars here, which is absolutely unpractical.

One wonders why they didn’t just ship UK market fords here, they have the steering wheel on the right side, and the smaller size would be more likely to appeal to drivers with more narrow streets.

It is common to see chargers and mustang on the road in Tokyo though, but they’re all grey market imports.

Characters from resident evil video game. At least in RE4, you play as Leon and there’s a mysterious woman in a red dress who drops in occasionally to mess with you.

Apparently she keeps taking care of herself afterwards, but Leon winds up as a bum lol.

Kind of similar to Ash in Pokémon who remains a kid, when Misty becomes an adult and moves on with her life but in reverse.

Ddr4 is apparently out of manufacturing at a lot of places now, so it’s even more affected (at least in my market, prices rose more then ddr5)

No joystick drift

I can’t speak for you but my N64 joysticks were destroyed by Mario Party mini-games, haha

Still miss my wavebird, although pretty sure it was early 2000s..

Love Peanuts, can’t believe I’ve never seen this original strip before.

Thanks for posting!

I believe it’s Australia, Canada, and Khazakstan.

It’s for sure that’s all they’re doing.

Motorola and Google made a big deal about building a factory to do actual assembly in North Texas, and it still failed within a year.

If HTC/ trump were doing anything close to that they’d be screaming it from the hilltops.

The main benefit of these is the free cooling, but it seems ridiculous to put everything underwater when you can just pipe the cold water like they’re doing in Lake Ontario.

Data centers can be built nearish to the coast (vertically if space is that important) and it’s a million times more practical than trying to move it all under the water.

Luckily passive investment plans (especially retirement funds) overwhelmingly choose sp500 type plans over nasdaq ones.

To be honest I can imagine (and I hope this is the case), that the nasdaq decision to ignore their own rules and prop up the spacex clownshow comes back to bite them in the ass as companies do their fiduciary duty and move to more reliable indexes that aren’t complicit in this.

This article lacks some details, but I believe this is largely just treating a bicycle more like any other vehicle. As far as vehicle crimes go here, the existence of jail time as a punishment only exists if you don’t pay the fine, and these new laws just increase the fines.

Anyways, these changes are largely worthless for a couple of reasons. First it’s already a crime to use your phone while riding a bike, or riding drunk, or riding with headphones, but it’s basically totally unenforced. Same thing with riding using an umbrella, but even the police do that here!

As for drunkards getting home from the bar, they wouldn’t have a car available to them generally, so people riding drunk are usually doing so because they missed their last train, and they don’t want to pay for a taxi.
