You could definitely put some blame on the manufacturer, but in legalize you "knew or should have known" that there was a possiblity that your vehicle could hurt or kill someone. You sent it out into the world without a driver in it, not the manufacturer. I wouldn't be surprised to see warnings and agreements attached to autonomous vehicles telling people that there is risk.

The bus company gets sued because they own the bus, not the driver. Same as if you lend your car to someone, you're at least partially responsible.

It's likely not worth using, maybe splitting the nodes out individually for colleges to use for research projects for a few years. The cabinets are probably worth something because of the graphics on them. The power consumption, lack of the high speed storage, and large scale industrial cooling system make it impractical to use. You would probably need an entire power substation in order to run it. You could probably install it at an industrial site, but you would still need to come up with networking and installation, which could cost more than what you paid for the thing in the first place.

13% eBay fees, around $5 to pack and ship it, not including your time. Around $8 net per chip, so, $60k less returns/losses, then taxes on that. It might be worth it for one of those large liquidation companies, but they usually charge companies to recycle their equipment or pay very little at auctions.

I mean, even if some company has a practical need for it, or even just wanted to sell compute time on it, it wouldn't be worth it due to the operating and installation costs. Although, it wouldn't surprise me to see individual nodes from this poping up on /r/homelab, those guys are nuts.

It looks like each blade has 4 modules with 2 processors each with up to 9 blades plus management and networking in each blade cabinet and 4 of those in each rack. Liquid cooling is only an option, so it could be possible to run it on air only. I couldn't find much on the cooling system other than it's self contained if you have one if the separate cooling cabinets. It does look like is an air to water radiator. You could pay run it off of a pool pump or something.

I still don't understand how nobody knew Covid was a respiratory disease. Even my parents were saying they wore gloves to the store and not a mask. I had 95s from doing work in the attic and sent them over to them. My wife was pregnant at the time and I had to beg her to wear one when we went to her checkups at the hospital. Not even the doctor was wearing one at the time and we got a lot of strange looks. By the time she had the baby they had strict rules in place, those first few months were wild.

The problem is that in the past you would have your rates increased because you get into accidents because of bad drivers like this or the kind of car you drive being more popular with bad drivers. Driving slower will cause you to get into more accidents. Now they can do a root cause analysis and find the true reason for accidents. Unfortunately if you can afford higher rates then this doesn't help anyone. States should have stepped in a long time ago to make getting a license more difficult and making testing more frequent.

Mechanics at your local car dealer likely get paid on flat rate. That means they get paid a set amount of hours based on the time estimate for the job, regardless of how long it takes. Also, manufacturers set lower times for warranty repairs than you would get paid if the customer had to pay. Also, if there is no book time, you have to guess ahead of time. If the vehicle comes back, you have to work on it for free. You also get service writers and managers breathing down your neck while you're trying to troubleshoot and not understanding how long things take and also pressuring you to upsell unnecessary services and repairs. Anyway, I don't work on cars anymore.

In order to avoid that kind of situation many shops will simply quote a "loaded caliper" for each side. It includes the caliper, hardware, brake pads, and bracket. You simply disconnect the brake hose and take out two bolts that hold the caliper bracket on. Give the rotor a couple of slams from the hammer, clean up the hub, reassemble everything and bleed the brakes. It might cost $600, but it saved a ton of time for the shop and prevents a comeback when the old caliper decides to get stuck anyway.

I have one of those "compatible with" Milwaukee impacts and it works great for most things. I also have a couple of really cheap 1/2" breaker bars that I bought years ago that just won't break. I have a 3' cheater bar that fits over them and I've had to put some weight into that a time or two.

I have several socket sets and wrenches from harbor freight that are perfectly fine. The 1/4" set, the open ended ratchet set, the short impact set, and the long metric wrenches, these cover 99% of everything. If you don't abuse your tools, then they won't break. I even have a second 1/4" set from Aldi of all places and never had an issue with it. I'm not using them all day every day, so I'm not that worried about buying expensive stuff.

It's not accurate, it uses nearby apple devices. If your iPhone picks up the air pods then it will point to an area where your iPhone is located. It can't pinpoint the exact location. This wasn't disclosed to the judge when the warrant was applied for. The police omitted critical information because they knew their warrant would be denied. Hopefully, a federal court will make things right, unfortunately, the police will keep their jobs.

I'm my experience, people like this are shady AF. I had an eBay seller that sent me a car part that didn't match the photo. He kept insisting that he sent the correct part and trying to trick me into sending it back at my cost. It turns out that he was using a drop shipping service that you can use if you own a shop. He had gone out of business and was using an address of a different building that he had sold.

It also turns out that the manufacturer had used the incorrect stock photo for the part. It was neither of our faults, but he wouldn't take ownership as a seller and tried to deny my return and accused me of fraud. eBay gave me a refund on the end because he kept trying to upload something with just the return warehouse address instead of a shipping label like he was supposed to. He lived in a huge house in a major city and wanted to fight me over less than $10 in shipping.

Actually, that guy is completely fucked. That attorney will make sure that there is zero chance that guy can ever appeal any of his cases.

@PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

If the lawyer does a very good job, then the defendant has no path to later appeal his case. Many defense attorneys aren't there to get their clients out of trouble, especially in high profile cases, they exist to make sure that the law is applied fairly.

PriorityMotif ,
@PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

There could be issues with witnesses or evidence that wasn't handled properly. The attorney could point out all of those flaws in order to best defend their client. That of course would leave the defendant with nothing to try to apply with. A less thorough attorney might not find those issues.

PriorityMotif ,
@PriorityMotif@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, they are there to present eveey possible defense to the alligatons even if the client is clearly guilty. Reasons for appeal could include improper handling of evidence, interviewing witnesses improperly, or jury issues. If the attorney catches those and brings them up at trial, then they can't be used during an appeal in order to get the client of on a technically.

They'll never give a review like that because they need manufacturers to send them more cars to review.

Used Vehicles became more valuable over the past few years as new vehicle production was issued halted in early 2020 and supply chain issues plagued manufacturers for a few years after that. Used car prices are just now starting to come down. I hardly ever saw cars for sale by owner that didn't have over 200k miles on them and weren't models plagued with major issues. People were still asking $5k for absolute junk. My advice over the past few years has been to buy a new car as it's a much better value over any used car at the moment.

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

That's farther than a cell phone. A cell phone might get 3 miles maybe more if you have the high ground. It's a lower frequency and therefore has a longer range. There are both public and private gateways for LoRa. So you can use it even if you don't own or operate a gateway.

You could do the same thing without using a cell network.
