I get where they're coming from.

If there's a probe that results in no substantial findings, it would likely still impact sales for some period of time, simply because there was a probe. In that case, Tesla's concern is justified.

If, however, they do find that Tesla is exaggerating their range, then I hope the lawsuit is spectacular and expensive.

My parents have a Tesla (they bought it used), and its range is shite.

Oh boy, I can't wait for nothing of any measurable significance to happen as a result of this.

You'd be surprised how inept some people can be. Back when I worked in defense, we heard a story about a guy who, while preparing to exfiltrate sensitive data, named the file "data_to_exfiltrate.zip". What a moron.

You can easily create a firearm with a short length of steel pipe and a nail. I don't know how this will do anything. Plus people can just drive to another state.

I feel like the sets of people who have passports and people who frequently seal stuff from stores have a very minimal overlap. This probably won't do much.

How long have they been at your company? A lot of younger people hold zero loyalty to their employer (for better or worse), and combining that with the guidance fo change jobs every two years for maximized income, you're more likely to see increased turnover regardless of job satisfaction.

Food for thought: Is it truly capitalism if random companies aren't allowed to freely manufacture spare parts?

This smells more like government-granted monopolies than capitalism.

Thing is, there's a difference between stealing a loaf of bread and looting a Nordstrom and assaulting the guards.

I second this.

Full disk encryption is entirely practical for everyday use. If you don't already have a dedicated TPM, your motherboard/CPU may provide a software TPM (fTPM?). If so, you don't even have to interact with the machine during boot. It's just a bit slower to start up (by a few seconds), which really isn't a big issue for your average user.

Well good thing I finally realized it wasn't enabled and set my environment variables to enable it.

The waves are canceled (i.e. gone) until something goes wrong. You could end up accidentally causing constructive interference, in which case you my double the sound's amplitude.

And that's exactly how it should be. If a company is extremely good to you, be good back. If they're shitty, you owe them nothing.

DDG's bangs actually use the site's own search feature though, rather than narrowing the search engine's results to a given site.

I personally use Amcrest + Home Assistant behind a firewall, but that's far from perfect. I've been interested in the new Amazon Blink cameras too, since they support self hosting (at least in some capacity). Still a bit iffy about them though, for obvious reasons.

Here's the first active one I could find:

It's funny, I installed Debian not knowing this, and I had very few rough edges to work out. One setting in Firefox to fix video playback, and I was up and running on my home theater PC.

facepalm

Or, maybe just give everyone the feature rather than paywalling it.

Yes, OEM unlocking is an option that you can toggle in the developer settings in the 11. I haven't done it personally, but it looks like it's the standard process via fastboot.

Probably because it was built to support hundreds of thousands of users, versus the arguably unusual self-hosted single user instance.

Is Twitter an ISP?

Seems like a fine feature to me?

Except you have to pay for rewinds. They probably give you one or two freebies, but then you're screwed if you legitimately made a mistake swiping in the wrong direction.

Have you seen the actual images that are posted on 4chan, rather than the curated content posted to news sites? The shit they're making is hilarious.

Let's take a step back for a second.

What's your end-goal: to learn how to develop a driver for a complex piece of hardware, or to make your fingerprint reader work in Linux?

Yeah, I'm confused by this video (which is from nearly a year ago, btw). It looks like a gnome shell overview more than anything.

So if we ban social media, people will return to the real world and socialize, rather than wallowing in an online pit of rage and despair?

  1. Start with something simple like Mint or Fedora. It's quite easy to use.

  2. Can you be more specific about the specific cable and software? Odds are it works, or it can work with some tinkering.

  3. Brother printers work great in Linux in my experience.

I've read that online, but I assumed it was exaggerated. You're personally witnessing students struggling with files and folders? Because that's simultaneously hilarious and a bit scary.

I work in the software industry, and sometimes I worry that I'm going to be overtaken by the newer generations, and other times I feel like I have nothing to worry about.

The source is available on their gitlab instance, so whether it not it conforms to some specific definition of open source, the source code is readily available for anyone to view and modify.

non progressive ideas

Yeah, let's censor anyone who isn't on my team!

Sounds an awful lot like fascism to me.

All it takes is a malicious program accessing your clipboard or running commands to find your password file while your machine is booted and decrypted.

Second.

See if you can pinpoint the year I got into a big tech job.

Realistically, you're probably not utilizing a good 90% of your operating system's features on Windows. Is this backup crap good? No, but it's also a drop in a bucket.

This seems like it's geared toward higher power hardware that's not generally available on a consumer-grade router.

I really want to use tape for backups, but holy expensive. Those tape drives are thousands of dollars.

Once that key is loaded in memory anyone with 10 minutes and access to google could trivially unlock your computer in several different ways. It is virtually exactly like having no security whatsoever.

I highly doubt it.

If you have any tips for how I can personally bypass my computer's encryption in 10 minutes without being able to login, I'd love to try my hand at it.
