Imagine getting in your car and it refusing to drive you anywhere because the wear sensor on the brake pads is bad, but everything else is fine.

If they could have made anything self driving already it’d be trains, but we still don’t have fully automated trains

Imagine you’re a kid in some small Roman town and Hannibal goes through and you see an elephant.

You’re grandkids grandkids would hear that story.

Yes, the site with the famously bad search is going to be the place to search.

Like any new technology, it will feel awkward to start [using AI for everything], but every business person, every business leader, every government leader, and every bureaucrat should be using it.

Yeah that’s not creepy at all.

Can I get a gif of that cone game that brainwashed the crew of the Enterprise D?

WireGuard VPN, hand-coded iptables for routing

I hope they all get baked together and laugh at the flame wars.

I saw a video recently by a car enthusiast who hates the idea of self driving cars for a novel reason.

Even if self-driving cars are safer than people it won’t stop bad owners. People who drive with unsafe mechanical issues they can’t or won’t get fixed are still going to exist, and bald tires and worn brakes would eliminate any potential safety benefits of self driving.

And by further removing people from the operation of a car, you’re making them worse owners. They won’t know what a worn tie rod bushing would feel like because they never steer. Making cars into appliances just makes them less safe.

He also made a point that I agree with: If we get people who don’t want to drive off the road, the roads would be nicer for people who do want to drive.

We have a representative government

If you’re going for privacy you’re better off with a reputable provider rather than a vps. The IP of the VPS would be easily traced back to you.

I have one but just so I can connect to my home services and pihole, but I route other traffic out through a commercial VPN for more anonymity.

I have a CBFA engine and not a CCTA one so I have to wait for a turbo again.

Also I stripped the mounting bolt. Icon tools are no joke.

Good news is I have oil and coolant in my hair and it’s still $2,000 cheaper than what my mechanic quoted.

Update: Got a new turbo. Put the new turbo in. Still no boost. Checked my work and connected the charge pipe. Still no boost. Also an oil leak.

At the mechanic now to check if the cats are clogged and limiting exhaust flow

Got them at Costco because I’m dull.

But on the way home my car went into limp mode with a check engine light and a computer error light.

Called Costco and they said “we just did the tires” but when I reset the system by disconnecting the battery the traction control, power steering, and tire pressure lights came on.

And it’s still in limp mode.

Taking her to my guy later today.

Thanks Costco.

ETA: Turns out my coil packs and spark plugs went bad, it was just a coincidence that it happened after the tires.

ETA II: My guy said the spark plugs were all the wrong kind.

 

I guess I’m officially old now
