During the court-sanctioned intrusion, the DOJ “enabled temporary collection of non-content routing information” that would “expose GRU attempts to thwart the operation.” This did not “impact the routers’ normal functionality or collect legitimate user content information,” the DOJ claims.

I bet.

In the sense that it tries too hard to be progressive?

Unstaffed tills were supposed to revolutionise shopping.

They were?

Who could have seen this coming?

Thank you for sharing your point of view! Very interesting.

The only platform not yet supported is the Mac Pro, although there probably isn’t much left to do. No, not the “MacBook Pro”, but the “Mac Pro” – the one that looks like a cheese grater and costs thrice as much.

I’ve always wondered what sort of look they were going for.

I haven’t seen Westworld. I’ll have to watch it.

I don’t think so. I haven’t even seen Heat, Logan’s Run, or Pan’s Labyrinth.

Do you think we’re headed towards a future like the Matrix or more like the Terminator?

Some of the used EVs are rather affordable—the cheapest Model 3 is just $20,125. A long-range Model Y will cost a fair bit more than that, although even here, the most expensive one for sale by Hertz is just $38,116. As a reminder, there is now a tax credit of up to $4,000 available when buying a used EV that costs less than $25,000, assuming one meets the income caps.

But they are all ex-rental cars, and that means most of these cars have had relatively hard lives and now have plenty of miles on them—the cheaper Model 3s are all closing in on 100,000 miles. Not all of them, though—in New Orleans, there’s a Kia EV6 up for sale with just under 5,000 miles.

Who is going to pay upwards of $20,000 for a car with nearly 100,000 miles on it?

Fuck

US carriers didn’t want to do that because it means the cockpit needs its own lavatory, displacing a few passenger seats.

Did they say that to the FAA?

In the EV age, cars are no longer just cars. They are computers.

oh no

Stripping out a gas engine, transmission, and 100-plus moving parts turns a vehicle into something more digital than analog—sort of like how typing on an iPhone keyboard is different than on my clackety old Samsung flip phone.

“It’s the software that is really the heart of an EV,” DeGraff said—it runs the motors, calculates how many miles are left on a charge, optimizes the brakes, and much more.

stop, please

Just like with other gadgets that bug you about software updates, all of this firmware can be updated over Wi-Fi while a car charges overnight.

noooooooooooooooo

death to “infotainment” systems

What could go wrong with that?

when someone sees an article online about an “engineered famine” due to COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccines, and conducts an unsophisticated search based on those keywords, they may find articles that reaffirm their bias.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Confirmation bias is real.

Unchanged rules of CAFE standard remain stupid. In other news, water wet.

Write a script. Anyone could do it.

Anyone willing to cut costs and piss away the reputation of a company can do that.
