theultdev··on X.com Is Down
correct. because twitter 1.0 went down constantly.

and staff has been axed for awhile.

ddos happens, having a large staff isn't really relevant.

theultdev··on Automatically tagging politician when they use their phone on the livestreams
They are not programming. It's a bill that can be printed off and already is. Just make copies.

They are not editing it, they are reviewing it and making notes.

Laptop use is...fine, but I don't believe for a second they are reviewing the entire bill on their phone.

You don't take tests on your phone, nor should you legislate on your phone.

theultdev··on Automatically tagging politician when they use their phone on the livestreams
Well they can do that with paper.

They should have the details of the law printed out in front of them.

Scrolling through on a phone seems very limited.

They can write down notes and they can reply to constituents after they vote.

theultdev··on Tesla electric car sales plunge again in Australia – Model 3 down more than 81 p
No, it's a difference between a hypothetical and reality.

The reality is they are currently helping, have been, and noone else has in that same regard.

-- edit --

Those articles linked below are about "talks" and proposals.

As of now, noone is deployed in Ukraine other than Starlink.

Those companies highlighted don't even have the capacity.

They are just blowing hot air for publicity. They aren't helping at all, they are just using the situation to advertise.

-- edit 2 --

I see, I must have missed that Eurosat was deployed in Ukraine. Albeit in a much more limited form than Starlink.

That's good at least one other company has helped.

However, you still have to credit SpaceX for enabling the ability to send the satellites up there in the first place :)

Sure you could subsidize the competitors, but they'll be sending a huge portion of that to Starlink anyway to launch them.

theultdev··on Tesla electric car sales plunge again in Australia – Model 3 down more than 81 p
I see you don't want to answer the question posed either.

Noone else has helped Ukraine in this regard.

Starlink donates connectivity all the time to many disasters, has anyone else?

I remember when many people on this site was saying starlink was going to be useless...

You have no right to be critical of how others help, if you aren't helping yourself.

keyword: could

but in this reality now they are helping and have been for awhile.

articles like those you have linked have always been appearing, but it only highlights how useful starlink has been.

what other company has helped provide internet to ukraine?

theultdev··on Tesla electric car sales plunge again in Australia – Model 3 down more than 81 p
Starlink is helping Ukraine, connects many remote populations, and provides emergency connectivity during natural disasters.

Tesla brought EVs to the mainstream.

How exactly are they a threat to the free world?

theultdev··on Microsoft is killing Skype
From the circles I was in, everyone jumped from Skype / Mumble / Teamspeak because of D/DoS attacks after having their ip exposed.

It happened all the time because booters were so popular and widely available, costing about $5/mo via paypal.

People were willing to put up with more delay (over p2p) to prevent having to trust each person that joins the TS.

Skype transitioned away from p2p because mobile phones were not very powerful and they needed a lot of supernodes.

First desktop apps were the supernodes, then it turned into centralized servers entirely.

you need a few fingers free to touch the watch on your wrist.

sometimes you're putting something in the oven, sometimes you're mixing something (holding the bowl and whip)

tons of instances where two hands are in use and voice commands help.

theultdev··on Alexa+
the timer getting dirty is not the only issue.

you don't always have hands free to fiddle with a watch.

more often than not, both hands are doing something, and setting a timer is... timely.

theultdev··on Alexa+
would be nicer if there was a cheaper / simpler alternative (offline voice recognition, just timers and clock, possibly weather)

but it's nice to use your voice so you don't contaminate your phone. (preparing chicken and such)

the kitchen is pretty much the only use-case for voice assistants imo.

This is nice as long as your data doesn't exceed allowed memory.
theultdev··on I ate and reviewed every snack in our office kitchen
Incredibly accurate. I hate eating and would eat one of those every morning for 2 years.

You shovel it down and go about your day.

Tastes and feels like you're eating mud, but who cares, only lasts a minute.

theultdev··on What happened to the n in restaurateur?
hmm, usually a la carte in the US means you can buy individual items vs a meal combo.

- adjective: (of a restaurant meal) having unlimited choices with a separate price for each item

- noun: a menu having individual dishes listed with separate prices

- adverb: by ordering items listed individually on a menu

theultdev··on Garbage in Japan
It's not a culture thing. They had trash cans. Until the sarin attacks.

Now people in Japan just put their trash in the streets. It piles up and early in the morning everything is cleaned.

theultdev··on Garbage in Japan
Tokyo is trashed before it's cleaned in the morning.

Ever go out at 3am? Rats and trash everywhere.

Squeaky clean by morning though, their cleaners are amazing.

Lack of trash cans is because of sarin attacks, nothing else.

So they just put the trash in the street.

theultdev··on Tesla recalls 380k vehicles in US over power steering assist issue
those are still hardware issues.

if you can't fix it via a software update, it's hardware.

not a hard concept to grasp.

you aren't overloading those words as "recall" is in the phrase.

Fishing is also an option to supplement.
theultdev··on Tesla recalls 380k vehicles in US over power steering assist issue
nope, just "software recall" and "hardware recall" terms.

that way you know whether to make sure you got the update or know to take the car in physically.

severity for both can differ, that's what the details are for.

Nothing stopping you from reversing the trend and start hunting if your sleep apnea is so bad.
theultdev··on Tesla recalls 380k vehicles in US over power steering assist issue
This gives no insight of being "bad" or "good" at software.

There is no such thing as zero bugs. You will have to rollback sometimes.

But I'm sure you're perfect.

theultdev··on Tesla recalls 380k vehicles in US over power steering assist issue
Is it a legal requirement to be ambiguous in the article title?

Simply qualifying the overloaded term as "software recall" would suffice.

Never happens though.

theultdev··on Tesla recalls 380k vehicles in US over power steering assist issue
It's completely relevant.

The term shouldn't be overloaded.

When you see a recall you shouldn't have to wonder if it's a download or if you need to take the car in.

theultdev··on Netflix to invest $1B in Mexico over next 4 years
It matters what you hit, not how much.

Note how you didn't have any specific events of Trump hitting civilians to cite.

theultdev··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
The original post in this thread was about their breakneck speed.

Project 2025 was misattributed to this, it's called "Flood the Zone".

Everything after that is just noise.

theultdev··on Curiosity Mars rover discovers evidence of ripples from ancient Red Planet lake
Sorry, but there's just so many political comments on pure tech threads.

It's happening on almost every single one, all of them some Elon hate talking point.

Just venting. I like politics... in the political threads.

theultdev··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
Again, we'll just say it's "waste" until investigations complete.

Glad I could frame it better for you so you can feel good about the savings.

Also glad to hear you like or are at least content with the audit, since you don't "dislike" it.

theultdev··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
There's plenty of people in the cabinet and other positions with many political views and proposals, including ex-democrats.

That doesn't mean all of their views will be implemented. Just a subset that Trump agrees with, or even some they disagree with that Trump tells them to.

theultdev··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
> just $55 billion in waste

"Just" lol. After a month.

Replace the fraud w/ waste if that makes you feel better about the audit.

I'm sure investigations will reveal fraud, it takes awhile to build a case.

But even if there is zero fraud (fat chance), gotta love the savings from waste cuts!
