poorly programmed algorithms

“Intentionally programmed algorithms”… ftfy

It’s very old… decades, and when talking about EVs and hybrids, an obviously quick way to reference conventional gas engine vehicles. The term is just unfortunately carrying some more recent baggage.

The problem is tracking you provides them revenue since they can sell the data, so they make more money with a vehicle that tracks you vs one that doesn’t. A non-tracking vehicle is less competitive if it has to be sold for the same or less money than one that tracks you.

If our grid can take on data centers, we can handle EVs my dude.

Interesting that you downvote me for having a different experience than you. Are you a paid fan boy or do you do it for free?

I have had many, many drives over the years. Seagate took a huge dive in both quality and support over a decade ago. I searched my email to find my last Seagate interaction

If they’re willing to sell unreliable trash to consumers, why should we trust them at all?

Having had several of their drives fail and then received multiple, non-functional drives for a warranty replacement, I will not trust them again.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll definitely check out some of those documentaries. This dude still seems exceptionally ballsey stealing from law enforcement because both they’re going to be watching the receiving wallet(s) and transactions like a hawk, and due to all the coverage, a lot of other people will be as well.

1000km range is fucking stupid. No one should be driving that far at once

I’ve done it several times. It happens.

the rest of the time you waste energy and money just carrying around thousands of pounds of batteries.

It would certainly be interesting if EV’s had a means to load or unload batteries for more or less capacity. If the majority of the time you’re driving local it would certainly be better having a smaller battery pack loaded and then load more when you need the range. We’re a long way from being able to do that unfortunately

I’m really curious how they can get this out of the market without getting caught. As mentioned if you transfer this to any major exchange to convert to fiat, you’ll be identified because of the KYC requirements. At least that’s my understanding. So how do I - or this thief I mean - turn this into real wealth?

DDR4 is already ridiculously expensive, just not quite as bad as DDR5

And when lots of people are around, you have lots of cameras. Imagine how different things would be if we didn’t have video from Minnesota.

Same… unique email for each service and the Discord leak a few weeks ago was the most abused one I believe I’ve experienced. So many emails for a huge number of sites claiming I opened support tickets and what-not.

Please, oh wizard, share your magic!

The lunch thing is definitely something I miss, and the white board collaborations. I haven’t found any decent equivalent virtual tool for the latter, and if you’re starting a new job in-person collaboration can be a jump start.

That said I’ve worked remote for a decade and the pros outweigh the cons greatly. A huge perk for me is being able to workout at lunch in my home gym. I’m not a morning person and I’m often so drained by end-of-day that working out after work is a non-starter. I know my physical health would be worse if I had to go into an office because I just wouldn’t end up working out like I do now.

I think I made the mistake of clicking the same link. It’s a Wikipedia link so how bad can it be?? I’m sure it’s a video taken from far away, right? Wrong. Sorry I clicked it.

The guy might have been a piece of shit but I didn’t need to see his murder from 5 ft away.

To be fair when it’s a product a person didn’t ask for and the OS forced it on them, it’s not unreasonable that they may not understand how it works and make mistakes.

It certainly depends. I’m not sure what qualifies as “most people” now. Plenty of people have higher interest rates on their homes from recent purchases than those who’ve purchased homes 4 or 5 years ago, and if you live in a state with higher income tax you’ll have more to deduct. Also self-employed contractors and non-incorporated small business owners are likely going to itemize. My wife and I itemize but we’re fortunate enough to be in a place where we support a lot of charities so itemization is worth it.

“Required” isn’t the right word but they do record who donates to them because people usually want them to. People donating to non-profits will receive statements from those non-profits at year end so they can deduct the donations from their taxes when filing their return.

People can donate anonymously but if they do so, they give up their right to claim the tax deduction so most do not.
