Too late, I’m sharpening my pitchfork!

Once again Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart makes a very valid point.

Well done.

How the fuck is this “technology”? This community is flying very close to the line of what is in topic most of the time anyway. This by far and away crosses it.

It’s YouTube drama and it doesn’t belong here. I’m not saying it’s not interesting/important but it’s off topic and doesn’t belong here.

You decadent young whippersnappers have no idea.

16kb of RAM, z80 CPU. That’s how we did it in my day.

You don’t know you’re born.

Not happening

Maybe if you weren’t so poor you’d get one heyooooo!

This feels like another “Netflix are coming after password sharing, HOW DARE THEY, EVERYONE WILL CANCEL AND THEY WILL BE BANKRUPT IN 6 MONTHS” circlejerk we recently read.

Then Netflix announces a pretty good quarter and all of a sudden these people are silent.

This feels like it’ll be that. I could be wrong. But it really feels like the echo camber will lose its mind again in a few months when the stock is priced above zero and maybe actually doing quite well.

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

Just because you personally don’t like a service or it fails some silly purity test you made up doesn’t give you some right to censor news about it.

Stand down as a moderator: what little power you have has already gone to your head and now you’re activity harming the communities you’re supposed to be protecting.

it’s only the games that are good.

Well that’s good then. As that’s kinda the point of this thing…

The total supply is 21 million. But a lot has been lost due to people losing their keys.

How much is difficult to measure, but you can probably take 20% off that number and be somewhat safe.

Inventing an OLED television isn’t inventing the television…

Oh no!

Anyway…

My tits are sweet, but rarely calm.

NASA invented wheels that never get punctured

No they fucking didn’t.

Wheels that don’t puncture have been around for centuries

We don’t use them because they are more shit than normal tyres for the majority of use cases.

Specific use cases, such as those faced by NASA may benefit from having such a feature, but to say they “invented” wheels that don’t puncture is an outright lie.

Who the fuck wrote this trash?

Agreed. I’d prefer a pull handle or something, but at least there is a way of getting in at all without causing damage. I suspect it’s a very rare event to need it at all.

I’ve seen cars (not Tesla’s, I think it was a Dodge, not sure) require the removal of an entire bumper just to change a light bulb. So I guess silly design decisions like this are not a new thing.

It does. It literally does this.

The problem with Tesla cars is that they uses two batteries.

Every single electric car has a low voltage system. Every single one. With maybe the exception of the G-Wiz.

You don’t want hundreds of volts flowing through your lights etc. and you don’t want an inverter running 24/7 in case you want to remote unlock your car.

One is the main one, which is used for propulsion, and the other one, a conventional car battery, is used for most of the critical electronic

Newer Teslas have a 16 volt lithium battery for the low voltage stuff. In theory it’s more resilient to low charge conditions. Video here if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/8-MNFgashpQ

Problem is, both are independent from each other, which mean you can have a full main battery, and still be locked out of your car if the secondary on is out. And those batteries hate cold.

The car is more than capable of topping up the low voltage battery from the high voltage battery should it be required, and in fact they do this if they are sitting for a while. I have left my Tesla for a couple of weeks without moving it without issue. Including in the cold. Although James May did have an issue with his model 3 during lockdown if I remember correctly.

Hyundai cars are notorious for allowing the low voltage system to run low, but I believe firmware updates have resolved that.

You can have a similar results with gas car, where the ignition won’t happen because of the cold, but at least you can recharge it easily with another car that happens to pass by. For Teslas, you can’t. Because those fuckers decided that it was too unsightly to see the bare battery, and bolted a plastic turd over it to make sure the only person to ever be able to change it is a Tesla tech.

It’s a five minute job to remove that cover. Really. The plastic cover is a non issue.

All other car manufacturers, which happens to have a bit more experience than those asses, understood that being able to have an unified battery, that happens to be thermally insulated (and often in the nordic countries, heated), to make sure you actually use them, even in cold weather.

I’m intrigued. Please give me examples of this.

Tesla cars are a perfect example of a product that only survive out of hype.

If you don’t like them, you don’t like them. That’s fine. Nobody has a gun to your head. But you probably shouldn’t be making up stuff for no reason.

You need to get out more, mate.

After a three-year battle, the Collective Action on Land Lines (CALL) campaign will this month finally take national broadband ISP and phone provider BT to trial as part of a £600m £1.3bn class-action lawsuit, which alleges that the UK telecoms giant overcharged 2.3 million of its landline-only phone customers between 2015 and 2018.

Article fails to mention that 2.5 years of this were spent coming up with that “CALL” campaign name.

I’m pretty sure these actions are already illegal …
