It was previously a “thread.sleep(5000)” in the client code IIRC.

Threw them over the wall.

I would argue that it adds a new failure point, and a catastrophic one at that.

Yes, many hunans don’t monitor their oil properly. I’ve seen some destroy engines because they thought the low oil light could be ignored for a week.

Even if you still had the dipstick, owners would become reliant on the sensor and grenade the engine when it gets it wrong. Remember how Teslas had hoods that flew open while driving? The problem wasn’t the latch. The problem was owners relying on a crappy sensor.

We already got that. We just don’t think it should stop there.

And after you install your monthy server update, things break because Grandma’s client is suck in the Obama era.

So, all the family phones that are using this feature for handset backups. They’re just gonna stop backing up?

Thanks, Google. Thanks for protecting me from free software that scans files on my own phone and transmits it across my own network to my own server. Such a privacy nightmare. /s

Android without Google services is basically taking the capitalism away.

Install LineageOS or GrapheneOS without installing Google Play.

Slap on F-Droid for apps and you have a phone that doesn’t talk to Google at all, and is completely beyond their control.

I stopped reading when it started suggesting VPNs. Your’re far more likely to be profiled by a VPN provider than your ISP.

Privacy is not a product you can purchase.

I like it, but it’s a desktop layout and they’ll get no adoption until it’s available as a native mobile app

My work PC is so locked down these days that social media happens on my phone even when I’m at my desk.

I can be absolutely certain no apps can access my mic in the background. Even when in the foreground, there is a hot-mic indicator.

It’s such an easy fix too. Create a separate wall that only contains your friends’ OC (not reshared garbage).

It’s about 3 posts per day for someone with 200 friends, but I’d take it.

You’d think they would make it increment every half mile instead of doing something stupid like this.

Not because of advancements in technology, but because of erosion of regulations.

$345,000?

That’s like, 2 devs and an 8 CPU VM.

It’s a reasonable assumption that someone in China is Chinese.

Google has found exactly what you’re searching for. It’s just they can make more money by suggesting something else.

The first robot across the finish line, Tiangong Ultra – created by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center – finished the route in two hours and 40 minutes.

The winner of the men’s race on Saturday finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes.

What a misleading headline. This was a 13 mile race. The robots lost by about 8 miles.

I tested my car and the speedometer, trip meter and OBD give 3 completely different values. It’s kind of expected because all manufacturers make overreading speedometers.

I think comparing trip meter/odometer, OBD and GPS is the way to go. It would be amusing if Teslas are programmed to behave when something is monitoring it over OBD.

Just fit your own dashcam. Some models have GPS logging so you can track where it is every second of driving.

Another way would be to log OBDII metrics, and compare the vehicle speed, odometer and time. If you don’t get s=d/t then something is up.

It takes a bit of effort. A chromecast sideskirts your DNS and uses 8.8.8.8. I had to intercept the traffic and redirect it to my DNS server with easylist on it.
