This guy thinks he’s a “customer”

I hate hate haters

Great question op. Waluigi definitely fucks, makes zero sense

…why’s that

Zip it, snitch!

Like the last guy said, all about penetration. Higher frequencies just plain interact with stuff more, it’s why you only hear the bass from outside a concert and why people were worried about 5g giving em cancer. My 5ghz stuff goes to shit when it rains while the 2.4ghz doesn’t even notice. If you’re rural and connecting stuff between buildings/through vegetation 2.4 is still where it’s at, if everyone in apartment buildings switched to 6 they’re interfere with each others stuff less and all have better signal

My hope is that the size/voltage standard lasts forever while traditonal alkaline pile chemistries become obsolete and fade away. Seems like that’s kinda what’s happening too, love seeing all the rechargable AA fans in this thread :)

Fun fact: amp hours are a measurement of discharge over time… I can probably explain this better with an example actually. 48v100ah is four times the capacity of 12v100ah, they can both put 1 amp for 100 hours but at different voltages that’s a different amount of… power? Energy? I always get them mixed up. Anyways the AA guys are 1.5v vs the ~3.7v of a phone battery, so the same amp-hour measurement is a little less than half as much juice. Hope that helps, I’m a little stoned tonight lol

I don’t know the science and have never heard those claims, but I do know critters and they sure are friendly. I would say the single easiest critter to pet, right up there with deer. They are absolutely aware that no one wants to eat them and being cute gets em fed

Fucked up if true

All it takes to do your own research is some cat food, they very much are lol. They’re smart and adaptable and fun to be around, great lil buddies

My assumption wasn’t that they learned on the fly, it was that they were trained on previous interactions. Eg the team developing them would use data collected from interaction with model v3 to train model v4. Seems like juicy relevant data they wouldn’t even have to go steal and sort

Can you help correct this for me? Don’t you feed them valuable training data and exposure to real world problems in the process of using them?

15 years ago you were naive enough to believe their bullshit and public perception was still important to their success. “Embrace, extend, extinguish” isn’t healthy participation in open source. Think M$ was the one who actually stated things that way, but google was absolutely playing the same game

My friend, have you considered cleaning the valve ~once every 10 years as opposed to beating it monthly? It’s not hard to do!

Brakes are obviously essential, cruise control isn’t mandatory, lighting doesn’t require a single pcb. Wipers can be pretty simple but are already one of the more expensive/annoying things to fix on a car, a mandated screen (and inevitable infotainment system along with it) to make up for lack of visibility over a mandated high beltline is just… not something I want to deal with. And you know the surveillance state’s gonna tap the feeds from those millions of cameras and stick us with the bill for the hardware to do it, way too juicy source of data not to

Just a screen, camera, sensor, relay, 20ft of wire, nbd right? It’s not like that makes stuff more expensive or harder to work on or anything

Buddy my whole car was $500 and I have an insatiable desire to keep it that way. Less components not more across the board please. I don’t know what kind of bougie-ass bubble you’re living in where a cheap car is $20k, but I sure hope it pops while we’ve still got a planet

Clankers shouldn’t be allowed to drive at all, much less mandated. I miss when cars were more “dangerous” but cheaper, simpler, and more efficient. My 1994 Toyota pickup will still be running long after the last of these rolling smartphones are bricked by a lack of updates or Certified Service Components. We’ve been through this already on heavy equipment, I’m mad about having to hack tractors and mad people would fall for safety as an excuse to complicate basic tech we rely on and increase dependence on corporations for service

Very cool! It used to be the only option for text chat, and is still the backend for a lot of more modern chat stuff in games etc. There was DCC for sending files, phish for applying encryption, bouncers so you wouldn’t miss messages while offline, all kinds of stuff. Really useful protocol
