  • "At least those children were alive for Trump and others to rape them"

    -pro-lifers, probably.

  • And replace it with what? You can't just hot glue knobs on the center console and expect them to work.

  • The vehicle comes from the factory connected to the internet.

    You'd have to find the exploit before they do, and it would be hard to replicate because once they find out, the only cars vulnerable to your exploit are ones manufactured before the patch who have been disconnected from the internet (which is like 2 cars).

    It's theoretically possible but very hard to replicate. And on top of that theres always the risk of the car manufacturer voiding the warranty on your $50k vehicle and/or cozying up to your insurance company and convincing them any damage is a result of you preventing their systems from running as intended.

    It's a messy high risk low reward game to play. Better option is to just buy a different car if you can.

  • As someone who spends a lot of time searching and is tired of AI slop, tracking, and targeted ads, it's a breath of fresh air.

    It provides a level of quality and control you don't get from the Brave/DDGs of the world, and a reliability that's hard to match with the SearXNGs.

    It took a bit of mental back and forth to get comfortable paying for something that has historically been "free", but I'm alright with it.

    I'd love to see more FOSS competition (or frankly any competition) out there but hosting a reliable search engine is difficult and expensive.

    It's cheaper than any of my streaming subscriptions and I use it 10x as much, so I'm good paying the price.

  • Kagi will let you block slop sites (but you have to manually block each one)

  • I confess I haven't used it but I've been wanting to try and get my preferred RSS reader app (Feeder) on my computer - that's the only one that I want though

  • Look at the state codes in the column to the left and think like a really shitty computer

  • Do you believe Luigi Mangione killed Bryan Johnson?

    Do I think he's more likely than not the killer? Yes. Do I think that "beyond a reasonable doubt"? No, BUT I haven't spent as much time studying the facts of the case as I hope each juror has.

    Can he be found guilty with the evidence against him?

    Of course. With the right frame job, my cat could be found guilty of the murder.

  • Fuck AI @lemmy.world

  • I mean, it's already coming from factories. The new ones just wouldn't be designed for optimizing animal torture.

    The new factories would look a lot like breweries, there'd still be plenty of work to do - maybe a small net loss of headcount per gallon, but from what I understand dairy farming is one of the most difficult farm jobs. As long as there's help transitioning it's a net gain for the world to not have people doing that work.

  • Hot take, I don't mind it - my drawer of questionably compliant OEM cables is overflowing. Less plastic waste is a win, as long as everyone sticks to USB-C.

  • AKA why I never ask my in-laws about their day.

  • We improved our tracking algorithms to more accurately monitor your every move.

    We found an unpatched microphone exploit that let's us listen in on all of your conversations.

  • Is your favorite color purple?

  • I'll take School Shootings and Privatized Healthcare for $100, Trebek.

  • The list is short because historically it has been hard to designate domestic organizations as terrorists without violating their First Amendment rights (among others, I'm sure).

  • Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law.

    Glances nervously at the first amendment

    You alright bud?

    Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and deadly than left-wing violence, data shows

  • A capacitor has ~1% of the storage capacity of a battery of similar power rating.

    Saying its storage performance is better because its holds a larger % of that capacity at low temperatures is nonsense because its storage performance objectively sucks (and not what it's designed to be good at)

    It's like saying a Tesla is better than a 747 because it can go from 0-60 faster. A technically true statement but a meaningless performance comparison.

  • 30-50% of my energy is the EV. About 20% is 120V plug loads (computers, fridges, home server), ~5-10% lighting, ~15% large equipment (dryer, electric range, electric water heater), and the remainder (15-30% seasonally) is HVAC (heat pump)

    Any gas appliances would bring a lot of those numbers down

  • American House with an EV, all electric, and no solar, I use about 1200 kWh/mo (1.2 MWh/mo) on average. This could only carry me through about 3y. Even if I had access to good public infrastructure I think best I could do is 6y (again, all-electric home).

    But I digress. Lithium ion as purely load shifting is a pretty reasonable, I'd argue critical, solution for covering day/night loads, but starts to fall apart completely when it comes to seasonal (summer/winter) loads.

    But what makes this plant interesting is the addition of super capacitors. The combo battery/SC plant is less about day/night load shifting and more about providing stability to a shifting grid. As supply and demand grow increasingly decoupled, and we try and shift away from expensive peaker plants always on standby, systems like this can dramatically help smooth grid performance.

    ~90 MW of peaker capacity is small potatoes currently, but this is a big step towards a more reliable grid future.
