What happens when it’s Judge Dredd AI robot here to sentence you based on automated systems and AI?

To the outer colonies for this one.

Yes my wife’s x7 has been through 2 water pumps and now the control and thrust arms were leaking hydraulic fluid. Only 60k miles.

That’s true however moving heat in the winter is much better than burning things.

Gas furnaces are 80%-98% efficient, heat pumps are 300-400%.

For me the last generation, F-series, was pretty much e46 3.0. You can only iterate so many times.

Neue Klasse is a bit odd but I thought the same thing about the F and G model runs. I’ll need to see it in person.

BMW is dethroning Mercedes and continually beating Audi sales in the US. I’m surprised so many people would buy a car if they thought it was ugly. Benz reliability has tanked and Audi is lackluster as usual.

My g05 X5 M60i is a great car, probably the best SUV I’ve ever owned. Fantastic gas mileage on long trips and more power than I need for when I don’t care. The Tesla interior was so cheap I couldn’t make the jump.

The PHEV X5 50e or 550e is what I want in a car. EV Range for my commute and daily stuff plus I can fill up instantly on long trips. I have 3 young kids so long stops are not ideal for me.

Agree with Neue Klasse, I’m more of an LCI guy myself when new models come around. I’m tempted to grab a g80 M3 before production stops but the idea of 3 kids kicking my Tartufo Carbon Buckets is a put off.

How’s that any different than the US? States determine what they can do.

The map isn’t too far off for July[1] considering how far Australia is from the Equator[2].

My area is similar to Sydney in your map. For Denver it’s the elevation that’s exposing them to more UV rays.

How many college kids are going to be flagged for using an em dash?

They should’ve done it a while ago before Microsoft acquired more studios.

Are you an AI?

NYC is spending around $68 billion to modernize their subway. Not sure what that’s says about Deutsche Bahn vs NYC/MTA but I’m sure both are not upgrading that much.

Not sure what I was expecting quality wise in Germany when I rode the DB rail between states and the Munich subway but it wasn’t much different than the US, except it much more expansive. Nothing fancy and it was late but I’d rather not pay for fancy here or there. Just make it work.

This is a SV startup forum more than a hacker forum.

You’re sadly mistaken. Anything you do in public is public.

That’s normal where I live in the Southeast US from late May to late September. Plus 60-99% humidity, I can see the air in the mornings.

There’s something about 85F/30C and 80%+ humidity that prevents the temp from going much higher for a longer period of time.

Why can’t you imagine it? The console makers have been selling at a loss for 3 maybe 4/5 decades.

Edit: looks like it took 10 million PS5s to break even. The article is 5 years old I wonder if it’s true in 2026.[2]

> The existing industrial arrangement at the time was that of a bundled console-plus-cartridge business model, where the console manufacturer (say, Atari with its VCS/2600) sold the console at a loss and cross-subsidized it with the money made on cartridges sold with a huge profit margin.[1]

[2] It took Sony years to stop losing money on PS3 sales, but the company stopped selling the PS4 at a loss around six months after its debut in 2013. The PS5 has taken ever so slightly longer, but it’s clearly not repeating the costly exercise of the PS3 despite early reports suggesting Sony was struggling with PS5 pricing due to expensive parts.

Yes. Prior to flock, my city trialed LPRs attached to the local power company’s poles. In the first month, they recovered more stolen cars than any prior years total recoveries. I’ve got mixed feelings about Flock, LPRs, and what it allows people and governments to do.

I’m 100% sold on the results.

I have an ultrasound cleaner and it definitely vibrates and is noisy.

What kind of environmental impact does hydro have in Switzerland? I’d expect it’s less because they are in the mountains.

I’m against a lot of Hydro power in the US because the environmental damage is high. Plus I like to fish and they have huge impacts on the ecosystems. But these are relatively flat places compared to Switzerland.

If you want a shitty sandwich you can find it for $5 in the US no problem. Plus some variation of the sausage roll that will clean you out just as well.

Not sure but the IPs don’t come back as Chinese and the dns registries, domains, and other data I could find was generated using US address data. Lots of stuff like 123 stree, where half the address was truncated.

Isn’t that how Anthropic started? Raise alarm bells and ride the hype train.

Tell me more…I opened a plex and Nintendo switch port, the scans were out of control. I’d love to screw over port scanner over.

Garmin was and is better than Google Maps and Mapquest was better than Google Maps when you needed to print directions. If Google didn’t have Android would maps matter as much?

Apple Maps and Waze is better for directions. Apple has better CarPlay integration and HUD. Google Maps is way better at searching for things like restaurants or local businesses but not as much the nav part.

Yes, most will at least test GFCI receptacles especially in the kitchen. I bought one to test my basement after a renovation.

Congrats your getting older. Welcome to the club. Find hobbies and keep them, it doesn’t matter what they are it’s important as we age.

I was gifted a Touch Bar and bought an M1 air when they came out. It was a night a day difference. Fan speed and throttling killed the experience and Touch Bar was not good.

The desktop support people agreed at my last job said MACs was more expensive upfront but less hardware faults and RMA for devices that were dead on delivery. They also had less support calls after new users learned the platform. The business said hell no we would rather pay less upfront.

Hack is being used to get more clicks.

The Cotton gin was created in the 1700s.

Maybe you mean this one, Green Revolution.

We’ve all seen minority report. Some executive somewhere is foaming at the mouth to scan your iris and connect the data broker dots when you walk into a store.

I’m sure they’re already fingerprinting your iPhone or scanning your face when you walk into certain places. Some team is probably working on an Iris scanner.
