Musk is also a guy who's gotten zero starships into orbit. The engineers at Space X have, and to a certain extent Gwynne Shotwell is a part of that, but that is despite Musk, not because of him.
Fortunately the NACS has be standardized under the SAE as J3400, so companies should not have to rely on Tesla for development or implementation anymore. Tesla's network is going to suffer for sure though.

I currently use TinyWall Firewall, it works very well, it's small/portable, no complaints I even donated to the Dev but I would really prefer open source, also it needs to be user friendly like TinyWall so my non-tech family members can/will use it like they do with TinyWall.
You can have a preference and not do the preferred thing all the time. In the example you gave, someone could generally eat "healthy food" and just have a Big Mac meal once in a while.
The Win11 ads has me looking at good Linux distros now. I didn’t buy a (discounted) $200 license so i can look at ads.
Same here. I did a test run of Mint on my 2013 macbook pro, and it was a mixed bag. Mostly streaming games from my desktop was unusable, but since that is a big part of what I do with that laptop, it was kind if a deal breaker. Granted the video driver for that laptop is real old, so will probably still try on my desktop.
New week new games! Whatcha all been playing? I decided to finally finish paper Mario ttyd (emulated on dolphin). Almost done with it! Trying to beat bone tail on the 100 level dungeon rn...
Yeah, I had a super hard time with her as well. Edit, spoiling the tip
spoiler
Of note, if you haven't figured it out, you can reflect her bolts when she is shooting at you from the air. Took me forever to figure that out and that helped a ton
There are rumors that this was an emotional decision from muskrat, and they will probably be offered their jobs back. Just rumors, but still would not be surprising
Oh I agree. There have to be rival companies looking for that exact experience right now. They should not have too much trouble being hired on one of the myriad charging companies out there
Last I heard Ford scaled back EV expansion because they overestimated adoption based on the sales of the Lightning, but they were still planning on an increase in production. Just not the 50% estimate they started with.
There is one stockholder that has tried multiple times. The issue is the whole Tesla board are all his cronies, and a large portion of stockholders have bought into the cult of personality
It's the Hummer EV. It is...a lot. Honestly, if someone is going to buy a Hummer, I'd rather they buy the EV. But yeah, way too big and pretty inefficient
J1772 is great for home charging, but for charging on road trips you really need CCS or NACS. The good news is NACS is being adopted as an SAE standard (J3400)
Musk isn't left though? He is very far right. He gained popularity by keeping quiet (at first) and doing stuff like promising not to sue companies that use their patents, and developing a ton of EV infrastructure. Turns out he couldn't keep his mouth shut and is also just a rich asshole. But a lot of people bought in early and made loving Elon a personality trait. So here we are
TikTok itself is owned by ByteDance, but is incorporated in the Caymans. It has corporate entities in Singapore, Australia, the US, and the UK. The CEO is US based. Data is collected in Singapore, not China. There is a little evidence someone at ByteDance has access to the info, but according to official statements and documents they do not. But, even if they are lying, China can still buy that information from data brokers just like the US Government does right now.
We need privacy protection laws, not arbitrary bans of apps that do the same thing as US social media apps
The ban of the application is not to protect our privacy, otherwise they would ban US social media apps too.
That is exactly my point. The ban does nothing functional. It shouldn't matter where the company is based, they should not be allowed to collect that data in the first place. This is at best a distraction from the fact the US continues to fund and supply genocide in Gaza or at worst an effort to stifle queer folks, dissenting voices, and non-corporate news.
Except the operational headquarters is not in China. LA and Singapore are the operational headquarters of TikTok. I think you are conflating ByteDance and TikTok as the same entity, and that is not the case, and quite on purpose. TikTok is a subsidiary of ByteDance, and from almost all accounts the LA based CEO makes decisions. They are not sending data to China, they are sending it to Singapore. There are alleged cases of ByteDance employees having access, but nothing has been proven (not saying it won't be, but we can't operate on speculation). Also, data brokers exist. China can get "all the data from US citizens" outside of TikTok.
I am not sure if you are oversimplifying on purpose, but if not you should probably look closer at the corporate structure of TikTok instead of spreading incorrect info.
TikTok is literally a separate entity from ByteDance. They are owned by ByteDance, but they are not the same company and operate separately. Again, you are conflating the two
which is probably harder and more complicated than just getting it from Tik Tok
Probably not harder. Keeping a multinational social media platform going seems way more complex than buying the info. Which is why the US government does it (it is also a way to skirt the constitution, BTW)
You clearly refuse to understand what a subsidiary is, and how that relationship works in regards to local regulations.
No, the US goverment claims that. You mistaken this with my opinion. I am just telling the goverment is blocking Tik Tok because they think China is doing this.
Fuck off with your goalpost moving, bad faith, devil's advocate bullshit. Don't waste people's time with bullshit you may or may not believe, ask for evidence, then bail when confronted with it. Don't be a shitass, be better
It is a vague and sprawling piece of legislation that gives money to Israel and Ukraine, makes Fentanyl more illegal, makes money laundering for fentanyl more illegal, allows seizure and use if Russian assets, restricts "foreign adversaries" from distributing and maintaining apps, restricts "foreign adversaries" from transferring data away from the US, and makes Iranian terrorism more illegal.
It does like 3 things that are fine, but these should all be different bills (the data transfer bits, seizing Russian assets, and sending aide to Ukraine, though that is getting iffy)
It IS a TikTok band and explicitly names ByteDance and TikTok, and also vaguely defines foreign adversaries to the point where it could be any person operating in a country that the US doesn't like.
"Quite a good piece of legislation" is only true if you mean quite as sprawling and good as ill defined
This tells me everything I need to know. That you would even say something like this means you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Really? Just writing someone off without even hearing why?
Looks like I was mis-remembering Zelenskyy talking about moving troops into Russia, so that is the part I was iffy on. I never said they should not get the aide
Additionally, you realize that those are all separate bills, right?
It is one bill with 13 divisions called H.R 8038. The TikTiok part was fast tracked as an addendum to the bill. I can't find any other bill related to it, and that is one referenced in most news outlets that I can see, but if you have more info I would love to read it.
But even if that has evolved into it's own separate bill, that doesn't change the fact that "foreign adversary" is poorly defined to the point where it can be anyone residing in a country deemed as an adversary. That means even say a rando in Cuba puts out an app with no ties to the Cuban government it would be illegal to have that app in the US. The bill also still names TikTok explicitly, so it is still a TikTok ban (with the exception that they sell, which they are unlikely to do).
Oh for sure I know the vague nature was 100% on purpose, but it doesn't mean the bill is good or that is what I want to see from my government. Data privacy protections for citizens regardless of which country controls an app would have been more effective. Instead, our own homegrown unethical social media companies still get to hoard and sell our data. But of course that is useful to the US government, so...
Finished the Fallout TV series, so got a hankering to explore those worlds. Decided to start at Fallout 3, level up, then visit all the vaults. We'll see if how far I make it before losing interest. Also might dona co-play of 1 and 2 with my partner (I control but she makes the decisions). She never played them and it would be great to show her how they have changed.
i avoid hype but as a massive fan of the original kcd and the honesty of this reveal, im hyped! wont be pre-ordering though, never pre-order its bad for the industry and consumers.
Looks like I misremembered the quote, but he literally said, “There were no black people in medieval Bohemia. Period.” So not all of Europe, but at best, that is not something that can be said that definitively, and more likely is just plain wrong. There were people from Africa and the the middle east in Europe at the time and even church officials from Ethiopia.
In a game that is supposed to be about historical accuracy, it just kinda fails and even leans into nationalism over accuracy. That mixed with sexism (in game and real life from Vávra) and homophobia (which seems to be only in game) means a no go from me.
As to sexism there’s a dlc which allows control of a female protagonist, it doesn’t suffer the damsel in distress that some other stories do and was fairly enjoyable, bit of a bandade.
That's good. Hopefully the studio is learning from their more vocal mistakes.
I'll still miss this one. Vávra is outspoken about very terrible things and I can't support that. He has been quiet for a while, but I bet now that the new game has been announced we'll start seeing off the wall comments from him once again.

Around here it is a lot of that, then add "Did you hear gunshots" Everytime a car backfires or fireworks go off even slightly out of season. Oh and a fuckton of hate for houseless people.
The other numbers and Hagel rune are very explicit white supremacist symbols, so trying to downplay them is suspect. As Chloyster pointed out, it seemed like the person saying that the 100% is racist was trying to mock people saying bringing up the other symbols. Even the ADL says you need to look at the context for the 100%. Bringing up the OK is also suspect, since, again, even the ADL says the context matters.
Also, nobody is saying they are hate crimes, but hate symbols which you should absolutely be aware of and not include in your game, even if by accident.
Yeah, ADL used to be my go to for looking up hate symbols, but then I learned about the zionism. That being said, AFAIK, the info in their hate symbol database is pretty accurate. Something about a stopped clock...
I did find this database recently and it seems to be pretty good too, though not as well laid out:
I mean, no. There is a huge history of slavery in Europe. Who do you think was involved in the Atlantic slave trade?
And it is not about sensitivity. It is a hateful word to use. You clearly knew there was an issue using it based on context, but you decided to do it anyhow. We could have got the same context by just saying, " you won’t name your dog a racial slur ike your grandpa did etc."
