I get where they're coming from.

If there's a probe that results in no substantial findings, it would likely still impact sales for some period of time, simply because there was a probe. In that case, Tesla's concern is justified.

If, however, they do find that Tesla is exaggerating their range, then I hope the lawsuit is spectacular and expensive.

My parents have a Tesla (they bought it used), and its range is shite.

Oh boy, I can't wait for nothing of any measurable significance to happen as a result of this.

You'd be surprised how inept some people can be. Back when I worked in defense, we heard a story about a guy who, while preparing to exfiltrate sensitive data, named the file "data_to_exfiltrate.zip". What a moron.

You can easily create a firearm with a short length of steel pipe and a nail. I don't know how this will do anything. Plus people can just drive to another state.

Well, not the highest one. This was a state supreme court, fortunately.

How long have they been at your company? A lot of younger people hold zero loyalty to their employer (for better or worse), and combining that with the guidance fo change jobs every two years for maximized income, you're more likely to see increased turnover regardless of job satisfaction.

I feel like the sets of people who have passports and people who frequently seal stuff from stores have a very minimal overlap. This probably won't do much.

Just did this myself, though my cheap build accidentally ended up closer to 1500 bucks. Whoops.

Food for thought: Is it truly capitalism if random companies aren't allowed to freely manufacture spare parts?

This smells more like government-granted monopolies than capitalism.

Thing is, there's a difference between stealing a loaf of bread and looting a Nordstrom and assaulting the guards.

Well good thing I finally realized it wasn't enabled and set my environment variables to enable it.

I second this.

Full disk encryption is entirely practical for everyday use. If you don't already have a dedicated TPM, your motherboard/CPU may provide a software TPM (fTPM?). If so, you don't even have to interact with the machine during boot. It's just a bit slower to start up (by a few seconds), which really isn't a big issue for your average user.

The waves are canceled (i.e. gone) until something goes wrong. You could end up accidentally causing constructive interference, in which case you my double the sound's amplitude.

IIRC it's default in Windows and GNOME now too. It's a very strange default.

The build approval process actually stripped out all comments via a script.

Thanks, Satan.

I think it's another fine example of Canonical pushing its own products rather than supporting and enhancing existing standards (flatpak and appimage), which people are getting tired of. Also, as I understand it, the snap store itself is proprietary and is therefore controlled by Canonical.

And that's exactly how it should be. If a company is extremely good to you, be good back. If they're shitty, you owe them nothing.

I tend to disagree with a lot of Californian politics, but hot damn are their pro consumer laws the best. Can't wait for 2026.

I personally use Amcrest + Home Assistant behind a firewall, but that's far from perfect. I've been interested in the new Amazon Blink cameras too, since they support self hosting (at least in some capacity). Still a bit iffy about them though, for obvious reasons.
