Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars
  • I agree, I bought my car in 2018 and its got a small screen and carplay / android auto. No OTA updated, no capacitive buttons, i don’t have to dig through touchscreen menus to change settings. I want to go electric soon, but everything i have driven is obnoxious with what you have to deal with in the cabin.

    Is Backblaze a reliable provider?
  • AWS has multiple teirs of storage options in s3, some replicate and some dont. by default those that do replicate do so in multiple availability zones, but not across regions. unless you turn on cross-region replication (CRR) which is an additional charge.

    So, for example without CRR if your bucket is in us-east-1 and 1 availability zone goes down you can still access the data, but if all of us-east-1 is down, you cannot.

    CD Project devs want to "call out" big problems like homelessness and the wealth gap in Cyberpunk 2077 sequel
  • All that stuff you talked about in the tabletop lore is literally talked about in the game. It’s not hitting you in the face in the main quest line, but if you play the side quests you find tons of fucked up shit that the corps are doing.

    [USA] Appeals court rules that cops can physically make you unlock your phone
  • Because they would be the ones actually entering it, you would just say some numbers out loud.

    But probably the smarter thing to do would be to leave the wipe code on a sticky note inside the phone case and hope they try it.

    [USA] Appeals court rules that cops can physically make you unlock your phone
  • I wonder though, if you had that set up and the cops ask you for the code to unlock and you told them the code to wipe and they end up wiping the phone. Would they be able to charge you with evidence tampering?

    This is my reason for joining "Fuck Cars"
  • What about making these massive trucks require a CDL to drive? Sure some would be dedicated enough to do it, but im sure most people would see that requirement and just get something more reasonable.

    The Increasing Impatience Of The Speed Of The PCI-Express Roadmap
  • Its the server world that is demanding it. For most consumers 4.0 is more than enough, but servers are already maxing out 5.0 and will probably immediately max out 6.0 when devices actually become available.

    The Cloudflare Poison
  • the NSA (which lacks a mandate to act on US soil, and CF is a US company)

    They absolutely do have a mandate to operate on US soil, that is actually the main mandate and there is a separate military agency (CNMF) that operates on foreign soil. They are both headed by the same guy though so they might as well just be one agency.

    It's time to move to Linux - YouTube
  • the thing about Recaptcha is that it didn’t always gate keep a google provided service, so that logic doesn’t really work. i agree though that we all benefit from less bots.

    Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off.
  • There is one extra step. I have an 6700xt, and with the docker containers, you just have to pass the environment variable HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 to allow that card to work. For cards other than 6000 series, you would need to look up the version to pass for your generation.

    Here's an example compose file that I use for ollama that runs ai models on my 6700xt.

    version: '3'
    services:
      ollama:
        image: ollama/ollama:rocm
        container_name: ollama
        devices:
          - /dev/kfd:/dev/kfd
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
        group_add:
          - video
        ports:
          - "11434:11434"
        environment:
          - HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0
        volumes:
          - ollama_data:/root/.ollama
    
    volumes:
      ollama_data:

    E-bike environmental impact in comparison to other forms of transport
  • its a play on words of the 2 main types of guitars (electric and acoustic) Basically a joke implying that if one type of bike is electric, the other must inherently be acoustic.

    Facebook snooped on users' Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal
  • it doesn’t, what this is suggesting is the vpn was routing traffic through it so they could analyze snapchat traffic. not the contents of it but essentially meta analysis of the traffic. how often it was sending data, how much data, where it was going etc.
