Search engines are optimized to maximize profits for the owner of the search engines above being wholly accurate, succinct, or reflexive of the actual search query. This has the result of promoting results that are similar enough in most cases, but may not consistently be what your looking for–especially true when looking for historic relevancy.

I’m a developer who loves to tinker. This leads me to having weird technical errors at times (like black screens on new hardware with fresh windows installs on any version of a GPU driver). No amount of searching yielded anything relevant or actionable to resolve that issue. Plenty of posts trying to sell me the exact GPU I had purchased though.

I like small time musical artists. I’ll occasionally search one to pull up their discography only to find … the artist I’ve been listening to for years apparently doesn’t exist. Plenty of results for streaming apps though.

I’ll occasionally search lyrics verbatim only to find completely unrelated media as the only results.

Searching for product numbers and error messages often yields 0 results.

Google doesn’t even honor quotation marks to indicate exact matches anymore.

I’m glad you continue to have a good experience with search engines, but the experience I’ve had is one of severe degradation and intentional enshitification over the last 10-15 years or so.

You must not have niche hobbies or errors.

Some folks maybe aren’t prepared to do that themselves, but the more you use AI, the more confident you’ll become in leveraging those tools

Unfortunately it’s not the confidence in using AI that’s lacking. It’s the confidence in the output.

I trust that they will aid in extrajudicial surveillance and autonomous killings.

There’s a lot of anarchists at my mutual aid group helping distribute goods in my community.

I hope they’re able to move toward a client first renderer instead of the image tile approach they used previously. That was kinda a network hog and cludgy to use.

An infotainment screen can be separate from the thing that handles driving without a need to replace everything with physical buttons. It’s just a matter of having 2 computers (and thus extra cost) that are not connected. The driving computer can handle things like ECS, ABS, acceleration, braking, locking, unlocking, headlights, turn signals, and of course managing the motor components all while being disconnected from the Internet. The cabin computer can handle everything else and appear to the user the same as it does today. You can even connect the cabin computer to the Internet without risk of dying if you want the ability to remotely heat or cool the cabin or want an auto emergency response call in cases of a crash.

You don’t need an individual control for all the things that happen in a car, you just need intelligent, security aware decisions to be made when deciding what is critical for driving or safety and what is just there for comfort.

Parts of Iot are great, but not the whole “smart home sending multiple video and microphone feeds to Amazon/Google/Facebook” thing.

The ability to set up remote sensors on critical infrastructure to give early alerts is a benefit.

It is not a necessary design element of a car to have a single touchscreen to control the car. It is a willful bad choice.

It is entirely possibly to have a car who’s main driving components are air gapped from the windows, ac, radio, locks, etc. It just isn’t done for a lot of modern cars.

He had to be pressured into actually holding a public opinion questionnaire.

It was only then that he found out absolutely no one wants it.

Very stupid.

Stupid. Better than his bridge vanity project though.

Oh yeah, definitely. The wiring needs for an industrial space or event venue are different than a domicile, but I don’t think anyone’s buying audiophile snake oil for those. They really seem to market that kinda crap to the fool and their money crowd.

I fucking love audio and have an extensive collection of equipment. The last thing in the chain before your ears (so headphones and speakers) will absolutely make a difference and the thing that provides power to that can make a difference. But the cables? The fucking cables?! Absolutely no impact once you’re above like $10. Turns out, electrons are electrons and they behave like electrons. Shockingly that doesn’t change in copper, gold plated copper, pure silver, or mud. Doubly so for the non analog part of the chain. Hell I’ve even seen “audiophile grade” ethernet cables.

The other part of the equation is if the differences made by the things that do make a difference actually matter to the listener. They do to me, but my dad is more than happy to just use the speakers on his Dell monitors.

In the case of what wound up on Roman Numeral Ten (formerly twitter) that’s correct, but given the actual PDF dump from the gov, if they just slapped an annotation on top of the image it’ll be possible to remove it and reveal what’s underneath.

It was simpler than that. You can just copy the black highlighter text and paste it anywhere.

Probably had less than when Charlie actually Kirked.

Buddy, it’s like the SS are coming.

• No SSN on that card and it’s not signed.
• “United States Birth Certificate” is neither a Certificate of Live Birth Abroad nor marked for the particular domestic county of your birth.
• That Driver’s License ain’t from my state
• Incorrect number of stars on your flag
• Hat is unworn
• Francis Scott Key didn’t produce a modern recording of the anthem

Well, it looks like you might be trying to pull a fast one with all those fake documents and faux patriotism. Step out of the vehicle–you’re off to El Salvador.

There is a camera on the front. That could be used to detect obstructions or for eye tracking. There could also be additional sensors by the bottom screen that can detect obstructions.

If you fail to plug the TV into the internet within 5 days of receiving and keep it connected they’ll charge you $1000. If you take it apart they’ll charge you $1000.

The video above does not go into detail on the long term implications of obstruction and it’s possible the TV does not react immediately to an obstruction.

I read their TOS when this first was announced and they had something like they’ll bill you the full cost of the TV if you tamper or obscure it and they deemed the cost of the TV as $1k USD.
