A foreign corp that uses an .io TLD operates not ethically.

Or Teslas secretly recording passengers so EM and staff can share the hottest stuff...

This from a country where tapwater unfortunately typically tastes like crap?

(b/c it is chlorinated)

What is the source of the fascination of this site's visitors with renewables, carbon dioxide, EVs, climate activism and the like? The same visitors who are responsible for a ton of annual electronics waste, and millions of kW/h wasted for hosting their toy apps in clouds?

Your views are spot on, just one thing: Tesla is out of startup mode for like what, 10, maybe even 12 years? They are just another seasoned manufacturer stringing along, well, with rock-bottom 'quality'.

It is just that his highness, greatest pretengineer of recent times, SEC-convicted fraudster, CCP-affiliated (some say owned) dude whilestill holding US security clearances, documented drugster and potentially affiliated too with Mexican cartels, has a strong NIH syndrome, and thinks he's smarter than decades of engineers contributing their discoveries into our human knowledge pool. Constantly overruling the more sensible people still working for him by authoritarian decrees.

Do little exercising, eat what is on your mind, do alcohol and drugs, try to still sleep well after having fun partying, etc... life is too short to restrain yourself. Splurge on things you never did, will bring some fresh breath and newfound hunger for life.

> when they could literally go to any other job?

Can they, though? This fight is moztly not about the spoiled tech sector.

If it would get re-phrased a la "An important function of modern society", would nail it. Unfortunately! I loathe where societies are progressing towards. Imagine having to deal with all this tech BS when you are 70+. Travel is already complicated, dealing with fully automated "customer service" methods and figuring out why app xy stopped working right when you need it as a run-of-the-mill type of person is at lesst a nuisance and at worst a nightmare when preventing you from fulfilling life's chores.

Thanks for the reply. No concern though, i was just too nerdy myself w/ computers and missed out on important teenager / young adult stuff. This time never comes back! Most dorks here wouldn't understand though.

Of course not; most 16-year-olds are enjoying their teenage years instead. (as they should) And build social skills.

More laws are not a solution. And i definitely don't want more EU non-voted-for-commissariat interventions. (similar shit w/ 'fraud preventention', just because you happen to SEPA something to a neighboring country. While having to use your banks' newly-fancy new 'app' -no ther means left possible- to authorize said payment!)

Nope, the point is that he thought to fancy / easy up life with more tech (mentioned potential health issues my ass, you have to clean up every day anyway after pets - does he thin a fountain does not build up residue and germs?), and promptly got more issues to solve. One is the non-standard voltage output, another is spoiled cats which can't be arsed to drink from a peasant's bowl (knew about such habits before, exact same situation).

Stop trying to 'improve' life by more & more tech-based BS.

> At one point I wanted to see if I could create a sort of a DIY UPS for the water fountain. It would be quite bad if I was at work and a power outage results in cats not being able to drink water (they don’t really care for normal water bowls after getting the fountain).

So another self-made problem then.

Rented a Toyota Vios lately with that horrific tablet-as-HU. Just having to visibly hit the exact volume down 'button (spot) when in need, instead of VERY quickly turning a physical knob down, made me curse them every time.

YES! Finally! Already wasted millions for similar shit ("Abwrackprämie").

These circumstances don't make the fact more palatable! The US tech sector is outside reality anyway.

Woohoo, i am surprised. Seriously, fuck them. Got pestered TWICE this year by Jimmie begging for donations, which is a new low. Make use of your endowment! And get rid off your political bias.

For many moons, am using more and more alternative sites for looking things up, even if there are obvious quality issues. WP shouldn't be trusted, you'll find this out when you are competent in certain areas and cross-reference with them.

Now do JIRA. (none of my colleagues pronounce it correctly)

What's with all this 'mission' talk? You are coders, stop that BS.

(worked in places like Libya and Uganda, never felt it was my mission! Had to follow requests made to my employer,thats it)

Way too chunky. And no AAC?

Thats why i store bookmarks for visited 'places' (any suitable object' in OrganicMaps, separated by country (list) and category (=color).

For EXIF, there's f.e. PhotoMap for Android.

Would never put such data in the cloud. But i'm also neither on social media nor American nor app-loving, so...

It is not only this. For me it is public greenwashing, that 'modern is always better' fallacy, subsidies (follow the money!), environmental impact of battery components, daily and seasonal inconveniences, even more SW instead of easily repairable mechanical parts, being forced by a vocal minority tru tax, social, and other penalties, etc. etc.

Offer me an Hyuandai N74 and we'll talk.

Why not just one-up it and seize the means of production, i mean seize unused private property? Of course they'd have to label it as market regulation.

(Coming from a country where options for private property and private means of production were once pretty limited)

So extensively detailed for a build report, but only very short sound demo? I also read it is basically producing a square wave only, so i'm having trouble recognizing this as a synthesizer, with no real synthesis, modulation, filter going on at all. More appropriately called a "greeting card sound chip with USB-MIDI", won't even categorize (as low-complexity as these are) as PSG.

Thats so sad... Major Tom to Earth. I hope V1 keeps being a part of life to come.

Sorry, you seem to be quite young and life-inexperienced.

A recall has a specific, legal / liability definition, regardless how it is logistically being adressed.

Hint: Not everything is SV-like "we'll fix it in production"...

Not. As pointed out, opening and re-closing isn't uncommon, especially in winter.

Stop defending nannyfying conditioning.

My goodness, seriously? Just another reason to hold on to youngtimers..

Nope, isn't as easy as it has been during the 90s.

Ever had to deal with abominations like CAN-but-not-really-CAN like PSAs own VAN? Having to find out which model has which bus? Non-standard size cutouts / bays? Alone the FW versions i had to test of Alpine / OEM adapter products to get steering wheel controls working. The PDC i couldn't.

And MOST is a different topic.
