Huh cool
That definitely was not there when I installed GrapheneOS


What I find foolish is there’s no pin only to unlock (no biometrics), but biometrics available when unlocked
Plenty of my apps have biometric verification I’d love to take advantage of, but I don’t need or want one to unlock the phone itself


Trucks need to have semi levels of regulations for headlights
I see plenty of trucks with headlights well above semi trucks, and I’ve yet to be blinded by any semi headlights, even the stupid white blue colored ones due to their regulations of height and angle actually being enforced
Mirror doesn’t work, hang emergency visibility jacket over your seats. Sometimes those do when they reflect back and catch their eye, and they won’t net you a ticket


Oh you can get 120 refresh rates on them
And OLED too
Just a matter of being willing to spend 5x-10x what you would for a data harvester

Don’t buy a TV


The real irony is the guy couldn’t get those dogs away from them even with a gun
The article says police dispersed them with pepper spray, so a chemical deterrent may have saved his wife’s life there if he had it over or as well as the revolver


There are plenty of bullshit dog mauls person stories here too
Last year one that stood out to me was an elderly couple in St. Louis near a park were sitting outside in their back yard and a pack of dogs escaped and attacked them. They mauled the woman to death in front of the husband while he was shooting them trying to defend her with a revolver
Welcome to America where no less than a 6’ spike topped fence and a high capacity .45 is enough to maybe prevent your loved ones from being brutal ended in front of you while you’re just out enjoying your back yard
I’ll link the story when I find it in my post history for anyone who wants to read it. It’s tragic how shitty our society is.


Oh, come now… You really telling me you think they or any other multi-billion dollar corp won’t frontload the costs and pocket the difference?
Or ‘ease’ the price increase in over a few quarters so that its not met with as harsh of backlash?


I think its likely the codex price hike, not Ai
Most of their servers are processing and multiencoding with h264/h265, and even if people are moving away from that for av1 they have such a massive platform that they still have to utilize it even when most have moved on
Ill rerespond to this to a link to exactly what im talking about if I remember


Awd/4x4 is an integral option for those of us who need it. Its not a gimmick, its not a nice to have. Its an it better have one or the other, or its not an option
It’s the difference between getting up your drive in bad weather and parking at the end of a 3 mile long dirt road drive and walking home from there, in the dark at the end of a long day, through woodlands in which wild animals are not infrequent visitors, and presumably on top of all of that in markedly bad weather events
A truck, and especially an EV that must be plugged in to charge so you can drive the +70 miles to the nearest town if needed after driving that far to get home doesn’t live up to its name or need if it doesn’t get you to home or from 999/1,000 times you needed it to


Not talking about towing
Talking about a bedspace only, 1-2 man crew setup
A Bobcat ZS4000 Stand-On Mower 48″ is a 64" long mower for example, so it should juuuust fit in there, but to be safe I mentioned smaller, though personally if I were to do something like this I’d want a greenworks electric, costs half as much as the truck
For sure, you’d see a range drop, but it shouldn’t be anywhere near as severe as pulling a trailer
A small standon, a ramp to get it on and off the truck, a rack with a trimmer, edger, hedger, blower, pruner, mini chainsaw, maybe a delta powerbank or gas generator to recharge the tools as you drive about or they’re in standby
I’d expect a drop in range about 25-30% with that but not as severe as a pull behind trailer
~130-150 miles of range is doable if you plan the route and cluster clients, which any Semi-competent business owner who could afford a fleet of these would be capable of doing or paying someone to manage the routes


Slate is a good niche, its range is fine for the purpose its supposed to fill
Imagine a fleet of them for a lawncare business paired with a 30-42" standup electric mower rig
Cost of operations would be dittly squat, could be further buffered with solar and replacememt parts dirt cheap. Roi would be extremely quick and then it’d be pure profits
People are already doing that with used Teslas pulling trailers (yeah its funny to see, but the people doing it have shown their numbers and its pretty nuts)
Whats not fine about the Slate is no awd version. On an EV it’s a minimal endeavor to make that work so there’s really no excuse
Having experienced awd I will never personally own another vehicle without it if I have a choice. Especially a truck. My driving conditions are way too harsh to not have it


Nah, we’ve seen what happens with patents. from medical, to agriculture, to automotive to software. The system isn’t working even slightly as originally intended in almost all scenarios and should be dismantled


And those servers are what process your Twitchs, your YouTubes, your Netflixs and etc services


Here’s why it does matter
Most server hardware thats out there right now doesn’t support av1 encoding, so all of those, literally tens of thousands of them in thousands of spread out data centers have to be replaced with brand new +$1,500 a pop cards that do support it before they can use it


Surpass Tesla in software?
Most of us want less software not more
That’s why everyone is so hyped about Slate. Less of this garbage is a paid feature these days.
Are the glasses lens telephoto?
Those are the only ones the article says get damaged by the lidar
