CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto World News@lemmy.world•Kuwait's ruling emir dies at age 86, three years after assuming powerEnglish22·2 years agoThat dude does not look 86.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail timeEnglish47·2 years agoYep, just like “cruise control” made tons of people drive their car into the ocean thinking they could sail it to popular island destinations.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail timeEnglish47·2 years agoTo probably 90% of people “autopilot” means “drive automatically”.
Based on what?
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail timeEnglish32·2 years agoFull Self Driving and Autopilot are two totally separate systems.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox for Android now supports over 450 add-onsEnglish11·2 years agoIsn’t that the default location when you first install? I remember always having to move it back to the top where it belongs.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholicEnglish261·2 years agoThat’s all fine and dandy until you get court ordered to attend these meetings as if it were a scientifically proven method of quitting drinking. It’d be like doing something bad and then being court ordered to attend church so that you can “gain a moral compass.”
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than everEnglish3·2 years agoThey desolder components and reuse them or they scrap old laptops and scavenge the good bits like the screen and keyboard? Assuming someone brings in a laptop with a bad hard drive, what components later get disassembled?
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how much backing up would you do of a media server?English2·2 years agoR7 gang here. Let us keep the dream alive!
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how much backing up would you do of a media server?English1·2 years agoCurious what was the model of your drive failure? I have 6 years now on a bunch of 8TB WD Elements/EasyStore drives as well as some 10TB-14TB WD MyBook, Elements, and refurbished WD drives from serverpartdeals in the preceding years. Still no failures yet but I’m expecting one eventually.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how much backing up would you do of a media server?English4·2 years agoI’m currently running mine on Windows and use SnapRAID and DrivePool as my defense against drive failures. I think I have 7 data drives and 2 parity at this point (totalling around 90TB). Beyond that I copy the Snapraid whatchamacallit to a separate backup drive along with my OS drive. This isn’t really a ‘backup’ but in the scenario where I have several failures and no way to restore, I still have radarr/sonarr keeping track of my library and a membership to several private trackers.
I wouldn’t worry too much about losing media files as most can just be downloaded again. I find it more beneficial to make use of all the storage space you can rather than trying to do a 1:1 backup, which gets pretty absurd once you start getting up there in movie/TV count.
Pretty sure this stuff already exists in some form. /r/datahoarder people would probably be able to steer you in the right direction though you may need to lay out several thousand for enough HDDs to hold it.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: How to clean your wood-burning stove glassEnglish1·2 years agoNo, but an old sock full of batteries might.
Or they funnel it all to GallowBoob or whoever his replacement is.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Twitch allowing more nudity after disproportionately banning female streamers | Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist.English81·2 years agoI don’t think people care about the nudity as much as they care about the intent behind the nudity. Streamers seem to be edging as close to the line of porn as they can in order to gain views and money. This isn’t someone simply walking around a beach without a top on.
I don’t care if people want to fingerbang or jack themselves on cam while playing Zelda, but don’t fucking blend it in and recommend it to people on a site specifically designed for children. That’s what turns it from “someone seeking it out on their own” (as with the availability of porn on the rest of the internet) to “let’s shove it in your face to boost our quarterly profits during an economic slump.” People can claim that this all should be prevented by rules and tags but let’s be real people are going to do whatever they can to skirt the rules and standout from the crowd and no human being is actually going to be moderating any of this just like with YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or any other similar site.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than everEnglish261·2 years agoWell that’s not very “green” coming from a company who stopped supplying customers with chargers “because of the environment.” When a hard drive craps out the only solution is to replace the entire board rather than a single part with an industry standard connector?
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•US agency will not reinstate $900 mln subsidy for SpaceX Starlink unitEnglish11·2 years agoYou sound like a brain-worm infected Trump supporter with these comments.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•US agency will not reinstate $900 mln subsidy for SpaceX Starlink unitEnglish21·2 years agoI absolutely think that price is insane, and I’m laughing at people who willingly pay for that!
And that’s why someone invented the phrase, “ignorance is bliss.”
FSD is an entirely separate thing. Autopilot is just an LKAS system, or adaptive cruise control.
