Most rigs go at least 1,000,000 miles and that isn’t isn’t even end off life. You’ll be paying not much less than new for a rig that only has 100k, that’s practically brand new. These systems should have 100 million proven miles. These things weight 80,000lbs which can be very hazardous materials.

You should see the pile ups semis cause in low visibility. Even with really good lidar, I hesitant to say autonomous trucks can be safe running off independent systems on full mixed use roads.

We could add those systems to all roads to feed back to semis to know conditions and hazards miles before they reach them. We could build new smart roads for all autonomous vechilce to travel on separately.

Or we could just end the 100+ year old railroad cartel. Could move people and cargo with ease. But that isn’t profitable.

Lol, no they dont. This is such reddit shit. Say something people will believe for the updoots because they have zero clue.

Your average driver is lucky to have a bat to check tire pressure. All the old guys that know how to work on their rigs are now too old to do it, or have enough money to just call the roadside desiel mechanic. 90% of drivers don’t own their rig, don’t give a shit, and are taught to just call the company to send a mechanic.

Every Walmart/target/major retailer in the US has been using facial recognition since 2020-2021. ClearView provides the services to both corporations and law enforcement, combing the data from both of those into profiles of every citizen. The US has as much if not more surveillance than China, its just not upfront about it. And its also without a doubt illegal so in can’t be used as a primary source in convictions and is usually not even mentioned to retain secrecy about the level of data collected.

I think he made a good video but I couldn’t stop thinking about this new “anti-consumerism consumerism”. So many “I needed my phone to do x, so I bought this to do that.” Even without the immediate ability to buy anything anywhere he is fundamentally locked into this mindset of “I need so I buy”.

Could have used parental controls(like so many “adults” need to have their friends set on their phone) and locked your phone as only a phone. Delete every app that isn’t essential. You can make your phone useless when you’re bored, you can pick it up but nothing will be there to give you “relief”. No distractions, no ability to install distractions. Your phone is yours, you can have it do whatever you want. I guess some people are just so addicted they can’t even be near it. They’re like people that stop smoking just to get addicted to vaping. Still addicted, just not to the old dirty style of getting your fix.

If you’ve been inside a Walmart or target or many other major retailers in the last 5 years, you’re already in the database.

Super cute edits:

“You’re already in the system, whether it is a system that involves a conviction, an arrest or being a member of the community on social media,” said local defense attorney “You’re part of that system, you’re part of that database, for better or for worse. You’re there.”

“The lack of laws and legislation is a bit troubling because we seem to need to catch up to a technology that’s way ahead of us,”

How about drones? If you don’t want all of your information avaible online and don’t want remoteid to directly tell anyone and everyone where you live you can request not to do any of that stuff, right? Oh no, this is just for rich people flying in private jets that can transport humans and tons of cargo.

My vr driving Sim rig just works in windows, the most I’ve ever had to do is map my shifter in game. Steamvr, hardware drivers, the actual games, it all just works without doing anything. Plug and play. I’m sure I can get it all working in Linux, eventually. I was(trying to) gaming on Ubuntu 10.04 with wine. I was first batch steamdeck and the amount of progress with gaming I’ve seen thanks to valve and proton means I’ll be coming back. But I’m just waiting for steamOS to be open release. But I am a KDE head so honestly I’ll end up whatever distro that does proton and KDE by the end of this year.

Me an muh kitteh when the sun comes up when I don’t have to work. She loves when I stay home for all day snuggles.

Saw this posted in a ADHD com a few days back. Every comment was just like “oh no…”. I opened it and like 20 minutes later realized, oh no. I can and have spent many entire days just reading Wikipedia and following linked subjects. So much so I run out in areas. I can’t handle a lot of visual and audio stimulation, short form content is such a nightmare for me, can’t watch it. But give me pages of the most dense info and I’m hooked. I just need the option to download every paper referenced from every Wikipedia page I visit.

I was try to work out a bug in some software. Searched DDG and found the exact question I had, posted 4 years ago. With 5 replies each saying I have the same problem did you ever fix it, the latest being days ago.

It’s weird seeing how “the algorithm” has genuinely only made things worse. Falling into the YouTube rabbit hole was a thing, and it was entirely organic. From the loose connections of topics, you could start from any feel good funny video, and end in detailed documentary about MK Ultra.

The best algorithm was no algorithm and there’s no way of ever going back to that. I feel pretty lucky to have experienced the internet before it became everything.

Skip your mouth and just shovel it directly into your gullet

So corporations use ai and bots themselves in order to inflate their stats and steal money from investors and share holders(see Reddit) and its all cool. Someone does that but it costs the corporation some money. Straight to jail.

Seriously, how has the reddit IPO which was offered to users not been a fraudulent scheme due to the website statistics being based on genuine user interaction with no mention of auto reposting or bots that are either operated by or hired by reddit?

It genuinely seems like the next ponzi scheme but that would require so many federal agencies that stopped giving shit and learning how the world works to see any peep into that business.

But what do I know, I’m just some average Joe that gets audited over a $300 mistake on annual taxs which I have to pay a private third party more than that to do.

One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don’t think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.

I just updated and now my audio sounds like shit.

Florida hates Disney because of how much power they have over the state. Daddy Disney is going to punish Florida so much harder if they let one of their little judges let this through. 100% going to arbitration.

Is there a way to block flipboard?

Same, there’s still plenty of room for growth but I don’t want it to ever pass like 2012 reddit level of activity, which was still a lot. But federation tech is also a solution if I ever feel that’s a problem so meh, come on over.
