@zpookie333 @synblinkerfluid After not very long you don't even notice anymore. In underpowered cars it helps a lot so you don't have to wait 2 seconds between mashing it and the transmission finally picking a gear.

@synblinkerfluid I will never understand the glorification of manual.
English
It’s always the same story.
“I’d buy a new wagon”
“I’d buy a new compact pickup”
“I’d buy this if it was a manual”
When a company finally does, it’s all:
“That’s not what I wanted.”
“It’s too expensive.”
“It doesn’t have 500hp and RWD.”
“It doesn’t come in brown.”

@will_whang Yah. Apparently there's an issue where if you place the inductor for the power supply the wrong way around it causes instability. So they commissioned a polarized SMD inductor. There's a whole breakdown on page 7 of the design guide.

@PaulBunyan1976 @uubzu They have immunity from being sued for doing their jobs. If they're doing something they should know they shouldn't, they don't get immunity. Like that family court judge who personally led the seizure in a divorce case.

Excellent ammunition for the civil suit

ChudTheBuilder update: According to a witness who attended court yesterday— While advocating for a gag order on Dalton, DA Robert Nash reportedly told the judge that “Dalton’s abuse of First Amendment privileges is what got us into this mess in the first place.” Yes, he referred to the First Amendment as a privilege, not a right, before proceeding to blame Dalton’s speech for leading to the situation.

@flaminhottweets @Duderichy Not to put words in his mouth but it probably helps a lot because he's helping prevent it from happening to anyone else instead of just wallowing in grief.
English
@Duderichy Isn't that like sort of traumatic to constantly be thinking of how people could die from faulty guardrails? Like obviously a very cool thing he does but idk how it could be healthy for him

for those who don’t know, this guy lost his child because of a faultily installed guardrail and now goes around inspecting guardrails

Imagine dying because someone left this bracket attached to the guardrail!

The reality is if you want to curb a behavior the solution is always "harsher punishment + presence of the law"
not automated systems, not legally just punish things.
You want to stop people from doing shit in an area? Then add a few more police groups in that area and actually punish the ones who break the law.

Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

@NerdHerder9001 @MrJohnMBartlett @StephenFleming You're limited to a max charge of 500 grams in the US, which limits you basically to refrigerators and small appliances. A typical home air conditioner takes ~6000 grams of refrigerant.
English
@MrJohnMBartlett @StephenFleming How is propane banned? Plenty of RVs with propane powered cooling systems. If you mean in split units, I can’t say I’ve seen that.
English
Learning about R-454b refrigerant (since R-410A and good old R-22 are illegal now). The new stuff is more toxic, more flammable, and occasionally explosive, but at least it’s less efficient. 😳

@The_Dude_512 @JasonBassler1 Regular video cameras vs AI facial recognition, license plate reading, car fingerprinting all feeding into one central database that creates a detailed history of where literally everyone has been. Meanwhile putting a GPS tracker on someone's car requires a warrant

@JasonBassler1 beats crying about it and throwin a tantrum over shit you cant control. There are literally cameras everywhere. You might want to dig a hole and hide.

Friends and loyal fans of Buc‑ee’s, I hate to break it to you… but I’ve now received multiple independent reports from followers across Texas, the Midwest, and the Deep South that Buc‑ee’s is using Flock cameras.
No official receipts, just pics like this coming in 👇
English
@phortuenti @hackerfantastic There's a difference between acknowledging that people are going to see you in public and you may be incidentally filmed, and a nationwide network of AI powered cameras that keeps a record using ALPR and facial recognition. The automation and aggregation makes it a violation
English
@hackerfantastic There's no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in public spaces. On the flip side, this is why we are allowed to record cops and do 1st amendment audits.
English
I'm not American, but isn't Flock by default a violation of the constitutions 4th amendment?

@MadScientist_42 @OzarkHillMan @XJosh You're arguing in bad faith my guy. You're talking about devices that can act like jammers when used improperly, I'm talking about devices intended to be used as jammers. Intentionally causing interference to otherwise legal comms is it's own thing and still illegal
English
Depends on the jammer.
For example, it's legal to own a handie-talking for Children's band. IF, say, for example, you were to turn it on, and duct-tape the transmit button on said talkie, it will effectively jam everything that is not of a stronger signal level than the talkie for it's range.
Legal to own. TECHNICALLY Legal to misuse that way.
YOUR problem is that you believe you know what the law actually IS and have it wrong. ;)

@churchable75 @TheCatholicEngr @KennethCassel It's all fun and games until a vendor cold calls you after daring to just visit their website. I clicked the link to their site, saw it wasn't what I wanted, closed the tab, and 15 minutes later my phone rings. Never talked to them before in my life
English
@TheCatholicEngr @KennethCassel That sounds kind of awesome.
English
if you call uline or mcmaster they literally answer the phones so fast it almost scares you
English
@OzarkHillMan @XJosh It's illegal to sell, operate, possess, or even market a jammer federally so idk what your sources are. It's not like it's some obscure law that takes more than 30 seconds to look up.
English
@XJosh Wrong, it is a felony to transmit said device. Just don't turn it on lol

@a_man_in_red Not until we get away from metal based batteries. The energy in a battery may be equivalent to a few gallons of gas, but a Class D metal fire is way harder to extinguish than a Class B gas fire.
English
Can we like... work on developing and deploying a better battery technology that won't do this?
I saw the aftermath of two homes burn down from a single Tesla battery fire. It set me against ever wanting one. Of course, that doesn't save you if a neighbor's EV pops...

@MannanaPeeled @RichPianian There is an assumption being made that your volume being over 60% on any bluetooth device is "loud". Doesn't matter what it is, or if there are other ways to control the volume your phone doesn't know about.

@KingK1128 @redpilldispensr Because every year it's a different flu. And every year the flu vaccine is their "best guess" of which strains are going to be the most prevalent each year. Which is coincidentally great for a recurring revenue stream.

@redpilldispensr The vaccine was created more than 30 years ago, people take it yearly, yet the flu is still around.

President Trump's FDA has sent shockwaves through the pharmaceutical industry by requiring the flu vaccine to prove its effectiveness to remain on the market.
