It’s the same idea as adding a larger gas tank. If you wanted to make a gas car go 600mi, you’d just need to hold enough gas to double the range + make up for the load of the extra gas itself, of course as the tank depletes, it gets markedly lighter.
They’re operating on a standard and they’re federally mandated since 2007. It is likely possible to remove them, but it’s going to f with your other safey systems and leave errors all over your dash.
Expect CLTC to be advertising the best possible range.
There’s a ceramic battery hitting the market that has a marginally higher density and nothing is stopping them from adding more batteries. There’s also a new hub-motor concept that has a lot less losses, but they’re not car sized yet.
Getting to 644 would be as easy as throwing more batteries at it, but i’d expect those numbers to come down a bit, or the price to be much higher.
We can’t compete against these internet stores. People just don’t respect brick and mortar and buying locally anymore /s
I’ve turned my youtube ad blocker off for the first time in years to watch this now
edit: OMG, the ads on Youtube have gotten REALLY bad.
1/3 ads were never-ending sales pitches, at the end of the ad it just sat there and waited for me to click next. There’s no countdown timer of how long the ad is now.
License Plates, Vin Numbers clearly available on the dash, Tire Sensors, Bluetooth MAC, WIFI MAC, Cellular IDs for most even if you don’t pay for the service.
It’s an interesting thing to point out, but we’re mostly driving around with much higher power sensors than the pressure sensors.
That’s because the Germans have enough sense and morals to leave them alone :)
The binary blobs handling drivers are both the rub AND the part we can’t seem to work without.
By those standards, Halium + ubports might be worth while, it’s using enough of the android binaries to get the job done but is still real linux.
I already read it. That’s how i came up with what I wrote man.
You go re-read it and tell me
What counts as “minimum”
How necessity is measured
Whether “minimum” refers to data fields, granularity, frequency, or retention
They don’t cover shit about ANY of that.
It says that OS developers must track users or be fined, so they will track users.
Explicitly bars OS devs from sending more data than explicitly necessary to meet 1
The statute does not define:
What counts as “minimum”
How necessity is measured
Whether “minimum” refers to data fields, granularity, frequency, or retention
Whether metadata (e.g., device ID, timestamp, API call logs) is included or excluded
This legislature calls App Providers and developers to track people and barely even gives lipservice to what is allowed.
We don’t want our OS’s tied to our identities. This does not explicitly forbid that
You’re identifying yourself lock-step to the government to run your computer. That telemetry is now theirs. Everything you ever do on that computer is now tracked or trackable to you and stored in a giant data center, probably eventually into a trained model of you.
You look at news about protestors, you leave a scathing review about a business supporting ICE, you post anonymously on a web forum that you’re displeased with the administration, All that needs to happen in the current climate is an executive order and the next time you go to update your passport or hop on a flight, you’re being detained as a terrorist.
Giving them this all willingly is a horrible idea and they will eventually use it against you.
signal is open source no?
There are forks that don’t require phone numbers.
I was using it because the API was easy and it didn’t have a problem sending images from my back door camera to my cellphone.
At some point, it got REALLY slow at sending, so I moved to NTFY
I don’t like daylight savings time either, but I’m also ill-equipped to do fuck all about it.
Burned disks, you’ll probably lose some over 30 years, i’ve lost a few in 20 years, most are still readable.
Poorly pressed disks, you might lose one here or there. I had a two where the aluminum was poorly sealed and flaked off the label side.
I have hundreds of DVD’s in the 20-30 year range and have never had a problem reading any of them that weren’t scratched save the couple that were lacking in top lacquer.
I sorted out my DVD’s Kept the collectors stuff, moved the cheaper but beloved stuff to binders and threw away the chaff i bought for a dollar a disk when blockbuster went under.
I can keep my entire original collection easily on 2 hard drives these days
Ohh yeah, best to stay out of echo chambers when you aren’t of the same voice.
To be fair, They’re not entirely wrong. It will straight up make a horror show if you don’t keep an eye on it and even if it succeeds, it’s nothing to really cheer about because it will eventually fuck over a LOT of people.
You can’t just tell it to make you a browser, insert $20k in tokens and walk away, but you absolutely can get it to make a multi player online party game or make a websocket client/server/admin to manage a dozen pc’s hooked into a video wall.

You can mesh together WIFI, LoRA, HaLow, the lora devices can be the same stuff you run meshtastic on. End-to-end encrypted. sourceless transmissions. You can route over i2p and classic internet for some rather reasonable privacy.
