Not to mention engineering. Placing weight on the land is one thing. Placing weight on top of each other, now you need to make sure it’s not going to collapse which…. Yeah, costs more money.

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet

Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

I know Androids can have user profiles which is what you’re talking about. I wish iOS would do the same thing.

I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:

• Traffic
• Remote (app) features
• Music

Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

Something else that people don’t think about besides the backend server is the connectivity. A lot of these cars use LTE with eSIMs that can’t be replaced, and getting an internet package for it will be next to impossible since Tesla gets them at bulk rates. Once upon a time cars did allow “bring your own SIM cards” but not anymore. Also as cars get older the cell networks get shut down. Some companies did offer upgrades but that was few and far between. Most just said “sorry, you’re SOL”.

So even if you could hack your car, your car won’t have any way of talking to a custom endpoint.

I have never once used discord and it makes me wonder how much information I haven’t been able to find, but I’ve managed to get what I need so I don’t know if it was important anyway.

We do plenty of stuff for human consumption. Computers work for us, not the other way around. Insensitivity should be the default. It’s okay to give options. I’m not saying take that away.

I’ve always hated case sensitivity. I know that at an ASCII level “variable” != “Variable” but is there really a reason to have a distinction between them?

I would fully support adding The Orville to tenforward

If Saints Row taught me anything, don’t discount the dildo bat.

I wonder if you could calculate that. I thought that on a level area, the horizon is about 6 miles out (or is it 12?) based on that, could you calculate the size of the world based on the height of mount doom and the distance it would be?

Zefram’s first flight

Isn’t that what First Contact covered? (IMO one of the best Trek movies)

Is there a count of the number of people that have left (fired/resigned/laid off) any US government agency?

That’s right there with calling JS, PowerShell and Bash “programming languages”. I said what I said.

Edit: I’m a developer myself and it looks like I triggered everyone just as the post said. Thanks for playing!

From an administrator standpoint I used to hate containers at first because I was worried about having 3 different versions of a support library on a system all with separate potential vulnerabilities. However we’ve managed to shift our security posture to the left and now all containers are scanned and gated before release approval. This ensures that the devs have the flexibility they want and I have more of the peace of mind of not having to maintain the libraries anymore.

How much is Pi-hole worth it assuming I’m using UBO and also have most non-ad based streaming services?

I’m thinking phones and less often used devices?

I wonder if this is why their store has been offline for over a month. Had an order cancelled, after sitting for 3 weeks. Got a voucher for 50% off “when the store open”. Still waiting…
