darganon,

I’m all for keeping the CIA accountable, but you’re conflating two things there.

darganon,

It’s a giga-stupid post, barely worth refuting, but private jets are not cars.

You can track every flight I’ve ever been on, if you know the flight number, or plane ID. Now billionaires have their own special carve out.

darganon,

Megadeth is a wonderful band, and even their best albums have some downright terrible lyrics.

I mean, Psychotron is an excellent song, but there’s no defending the lyrics.

darganon,

There are many quite loud alerts when FSD is active in subpar circumstances about how it is degraded, and the car will slow down. That video was pretty foggy, I’d say the dude wasn’t paying attention.

I came up on a train Sunday evening in the dark, which I hadn’t had happen in FSD, so I decided to just hit the brakes. It saw the crossing arms as blinking stoplights, probably wouldn’t have stopped?

Either way that dude was definitely not paying attention.

darganon,

Bezos owns it, they don’t need to make money, just keep up their status.

Are there any EV cars without any "technology"?

Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...

darganon,

You only need the screen to operate a Tesla on any model without stalks.

I’ve never tried to open the frunk with voice commands, but it probably works.

darganon,

That secure shoelace knot was an actual game changer. Shit just works.

darganon,

There was a band called Atomic Raygun Attack!! and their mascot’s name was Ronald Raygunicorn.

Pop/punk from the mid 2000s

Atomic Raygun Attack!!

darganon,

Well that’s just not true, if it’s disabled within 5 seconds they still count it as autopilot.

They also count getting rear-ended, but don’t break it down that far.

darganon,

I saw this headline and immediately thought “ArmouryCrate is the reason”

I certainly avoid ASUS stuff after discovering that piece of nonsense on my new install.

darganon,

I like FSD a lot, but $100 a month is too much. Maybe if my commute was longer?

Also it makes some questionable decisions about which lane to be in for upcoming turns and merges.

darganon,

It’s pretty good. I think they’re onto something here.

It navigated some annoying traffic very well, took a right on red perfectly, twice. Did a roundabout just fine twice.

The bad bits:

Speed limits are odd, if it can’t figure it out it drops way low. (I have heard if you turn off automatic speed offset it fixes that)

There is one long turn lane it popped into halfway down instead of immediately, as would be preferred. It could catch another driver unaware.

It goes way too fast into the roundabout. Just an unpleasant deceleration, but it’s not unsafe.

Auto parking was cool, but slow.

darganon,

Got mine last night, excited to try it out!

darganon,

Oh no, Grandma’s bitlocker will be vulnerable when the attacker gets physical access to her machine!

darganon,

Teslas are at or very near the bottom of often stolen car lists, by a wide margin.

darganon,

No, because they normalize and have a relative metric.

The most stolen car is an SRT hellcat, which has a total production run well under Model 3 production in a single quarter.

darganon,

It’s doing okay, the first season of Frasier proper was a little stilted and not fully fleshed out, so maybe we’re on to something here.

darganon,

Plastic surgery!

darganon,

Just not in a measurable way.

The plural for anecdote is not “data.”

darganon,

He sold it into PayPal, then bought it back from PayPal a couple years ago.

Not sure how trademarks work, but I think it gets stickier when it’s used for different purposes. like how there’s Starcraft trailers and the game.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

darganon,

Netflix is a public company, you can just go look at how wrong you are about this.

They took in $9.3 billion in Q1 2024, and spent $702 million on “technology” and $3.7 billion on adding “content assets”

Their net profit was $2.3 billion, for one quarter. They could afford to just charge less money, but the line must go up.

darganon,

Every time I hear or see about Esteban Ocon he is either getting into it with a teammate, or holding up someone faster with good traction out of a braking zone. I will not miss him.

darganon,

I have the same combo and it also runs flawlessly with my Reverb G2, iracing is great, but there’s never enough horsepower to run that cranked all the way up.

darganon,

Never is going to be tough, but a fast GPU with a lot of RAM.

If you’re serious about it, just start at a 4090 and work your way down to whatever your budget is.

darganon,

I don’t mind a cover changing the meaning of a song, but stuff where the cover is just the song again is…lazy as fuck?

Like Fast Car by (country music guy) is fantastic, but it’s the same as the original, which is also fantastic. Feels cheap or something, I don’t know. Like the whole Weezer cover album was boring as fuck. The songs are technically great, but why listen to that over the originals? Rivers said his goal was to try and reproduce the original sound, which seems like an interesting exercise for the band, but not for the listener. So that wraps back around to respecting the band.

Anyways, I have a lot of strong feelings about covers. Make it your own, even if you don’t change it that much.
