Yup, with a minimum completion time of 1 hour for the video training and the policies you have to read afterwards. Also remember not to click the super obvious phishing emails that obviously came straight from your own IT department. :D

Louis Rossman, the revered right-to-repair crusader, had a similar take. Leaning and overleaning is inherent to how the device works and if you bust your head because you pushed past the point of failure that’s not 100% on Future Motion. I also rented a one wheel through a gear sharing app and had a similar impression: its clear when you’re reaching max lean.

What is on Future Motion and other EV manufacturers, in my opinion, is how all this bullshit tech that makes cars more difficult to repair at home or at the third party shop is being added to micro mobility devices. These vehicles should be easy to service, like a muscle bike or an unpowered skateboard. Isn’t one of the reasons cars suck that we spend way too much time/money maintaining them. I’d like that million dollars back please.

If people are blowing things up, perhaps we should teach more classes on electricity in high school. Or we could establish a trade license similar to a plumber or electrician, but certified to work on all small electronics. Obviously self-repair would still be legal, but to do it commercially in a storefront, you could guarantee that those people understand the difference between volts and amps and could define an ohm. Suddenly, 50% less houses burn down due to EV fires. (I would hope)

The first time anything got caught in the gap, it would probably shatter the screens. I do like it better than the crease though

That’ll come out. Good thing I bough the optional $400 i…ron.

Once we hit a critical mass of cyclists, more places will start getting valet bike parking or at least monitored bike parking. It’ll happen with breweries and trail adjacent businesses first. My town offers event racks at street fairs and parades and such. Not sure if they are monitored.

We can speed this along by requiring all commercial buildings of a certain size, renovated or newly constructed to have a signed bike room or monitored rack area.

It’s a shame that one asshole can ruin the fun for so many people. For $8k+ he could have stolen a single Ram 3500 hemi super duty mega cab instead and only negatively impacted a few people while making the roads safer for everyone.

…looks like it’s my car now. 😈😆

This is my car, I have a stereo with entertainment features. My mileage, drive time, fuel economy, and anything related to the systems of the car, shows up on a separate display strip. To the best of my knowledge, the stereo cannot control the car in any way. Its just there to play music for me. I dread the day I have to replace this car. I may just buy an old pre-telemetry 4x4. The roads around here have gotten too bad for a hatchback anyway.

I live in a suburban part of a medium sized US city. There is a school nearby that has similar problems.

• situated on a 2 lane collector road with bike lanes
• lots of no parking signs -they set up a bunch of cones and have crossing guards all around
• there are school zone flashers

Despite All This

• people park in doubled up bike lane/no parking area all the time and the way the cones are set up encourages it
• people swing their doors open into traffic and cross wherever they want
• during off times, the school has a sign forbidding use of their parking lot so people park in the bike lanes

Luckily, the speed limit is only 30 so when school is in letting out I take the lane and anyone that doesn’t like it can choke on a bottle of tire sealant.

My city is generally responsive when enough people comment on something and in general, you are likely to get a sentence or two back no matter what you comment on. I’m afraid to comment on this because the people picking up their kids in cars outnumber the cyclists and I forsee the school holding firm on closing their lot and they’ll probably quote something stupid like liability or security. Is it not also a liability if a kid steps out from behind a parked car and gets squished by an F350 Crew Cab Mega Hemi Coal Roaler? In any case, I think the more likely outcome would be accommodating the cars and moving the bikes into the road with sharrows or doing something like that.

If I was in charge, I’d put a speed table at each end of the school zone, narrow all crosswalks to the minimum acceptable distance and put the bike lanes behind a 6inch wide curb to make it more obvious that you cannot park there. I also want these lifted Ford Excursion drivers to watch us casually pedal past the traffic jam they create every single day. I’d force the school to open their lot where capacity permits and I’d start ticketing the shit out of anyone who stows up traffic in the area or parks where it is not allowed. There is a trail just south of the school that leads to a grocery store maybe 1/4 mile away. That’s where the car drivers could best pick up their kids. All the tickets should easily pay for the speed tables and upgrading the bike lanes and walking paths.

The change was 95% unnoticed for me. I looked at the session one day and thought “oh yeah, I have been using Wayland”. I don’t mess with many games or AI GPU stuff though, so it may be that more complex use cases result in a worse experience.

Agree. I appreciate that banks offer 2FA, but do I really need to be forced to give up a real phone number to access a forum, news site, etc.? No.

Whose job is security? Mine, the user, and if I decide one of my accounts is a throwaway or I just mash some keys to get access to something, I shouldn’t have to sign up for 2FA to do it.

A +1 for older 1+ devices. I have a 9 and unlocking and rooting was simple. I also have a 10 that I recently acquired and it looks like things got more sketchy, e.g. I’m not sure quite how risky this is. Like you, I cannot settle for stock, and I find myself in the similar situation of picking my next phone based primarily off of user freedom and only secondarily based on specs.

If we can’t put the cat back in the bag, then the stolen data should be open-sourced and they should be regulated out of the AI space for a few years to allow companies not stealing data (I assume there are some) to catch up.

I’m out of the loop on the meta despite being active on the platform. What’s the deal with those other two servers? I can see they have strong “personalities”.

Welcome.

It’s like a human centipede where only the first person is a human and everyone else is an AI. It’s all shit, but it gets a bit worse every step.

I’m a longtime CS1 player. I use highways at times. Mostly for the grade separation aspect. I rarely feel the need to go above 2 through lanes each direction and 1-2 auxiliary lanes. Often I place 2 lane rural roads from the highway tab when I start building and leave land to preserve highway and rail corridors and upgrade them into freeways later. Don’t be afraid to leave too much land along a road you intend to upgrade as you can always add infill development later. I usually leave at least 20u in width when I first plop one down. Use the query tool on the segments where the highway meets other roads to determine where traffic is trying to go. Using fully grade separated, free moving designs then running a little highway spur for a few blocks, or even a 2+1 road helps with collecting and distributing traffic instead of having a giant stack interchange dumping right onto a 4 lane avenue with frequent lights. If you play with despawning off, signalized freeway exits can be nightmarish and often necessitate the use of timed traffic lights and significant lane math and movement restrictions.

Lastly, your industry should have a clear shot to the highway, maybe even designated truck lane(s). If all your trucks have to pass through an urban area with lights and peds to get to the freeway, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Hope some of this helps and I look forward to hearing other folks commentary. Good question.

How do you understand this without falling into the defeatist mindset that the sheeple deserve to be imprisoned in the state of enshitification that their ignorance, laziness, and unwillingness to learn has helped build? Put down your iPhone, or go check into your local FEMA camp. I hate to be negative like this, but people really seem to be willing to give up everything for convenience and bling.

This is the only way. These companies are essentially asking for a free license for themselves while everyone else must pay.

“Copyright for thee but not for me.”

Will your warez be legal after you wrap them in an AI model, or only if you are a big, greedy, invasive, tech company?

Giggity?

If we could just remove every parking lot and replace all major roads with trains, we would free up so much mammoth habitat.
