Don't worry, the enshittification of both is proceeding well.

Replacements are inevitable in time. This one is growing.

You need a better meme. Egg prices are almost back to normal in a lot of places.

I still haven't found a single action that will make things better for citizens after it's net impact is considered. Let's not even talk about the negative impact this is having on humanity as a whole..

So you made a claim, that's cool. Zero examples though dude? really?

But to claim that autopilot shut itself off before impact means that the Tesla detected the wall and decided impact was imminent, which disproves his point.

Completely disagree. You are assuming the same sensors that handle autopilot are the same sensors that disengage it when detecting close proximity. The fact that it happened the instant before he connected kind of shows that at a very close distance something is detecting an impact and cutting it off. If it knew ahead of time it would have stopped well ahead of time.

The original goal also wasn't to uncover this, it was just to compare it to lidar per the article. I'm guessing we're going to see a ton more things pop up testing this claim, and we're likely to see tesla push an OTA update that changes the behavior so that people can't easily reproduce it.

Of course it disengages self driving modes before an impact. Why would they want to be liable for absolutely anything?

It's a pretty risky game he's playing, being the public face of his business while also being an unelected president.

I think most people probably have a lifetime plex pass for their plex server, or they are using alternative servers.

Lifetime pass grants licenses to all clients, at least it used to unless this changes that.

My server has many users and nobody has paid anything aside from my original buy of $120 in 2019. So far that comes out to about $1.67/mo for unlimited users and unlimited updates.

I'm not saying I really like the updates though. I think they should have remained slim, but someone is trying to make more and more money by branching out into bullshit beyond private media serving. All that trash should be separate products that are divorced from the private media server / client product.

All this being said, check out Jellyfin, little reason to use plex over it for private media but it has some limitations if you need subtitles or cannot relocate file structures.

Hey, all I can say is that there's a lot of really uneducated people in the US, and they voted for a president that is skilled at whipping them into a frenzy over anything.

It's not you guys, it's them. I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I'm afraid to speak out though, my wife doesn't have her citizenship yet and they've been unlawfully deporting green card holders left and right.

I kinda wish the world would stand up together and say "fuck you, guy" and literally cut the US out of the world economy until they depose the dictator. Sadly nation states seem more interested in making backroom deals than bringing the global recession that is inevitable/ongoing.

I completely understand. In ITIL terms they're addressing the incident - the thing that is causing someone immediate harm. To continue the ITIL analogy, the problem is not being addressed and will never be addressed. I am confident humanity will never stop using the concept of mental disabilities as a slur regardless of the verbiage used.

Any 'nice' term you can think up is immediately ammo for someone to use once it starts getting traction as the new way to talk about it. "Trump has a mental disability", "republicans are mentally disabled" are two examples of what people could say until that term is no longer acceptable, and the cycle repeats.

Really what should change is that mental disabilities should be normalized so that descriptors cannot be used to degrade people based on a reality that cannot be changed.

Anyway, regardless of our best intentions, empathy, patience and understanding for others, the cycle will just keep continuing. Idiot is a great example of a word for the same thing and is used frequently and often because people simply have forgotten over the generations how it was once used. It's original term was innocuous, simply describing common individuals, not necessarily implying any truly negative thing. Eventually it was used to describe the mentally disabled, and then used as a slur, and then it fell out of favor for a long, long time. Ultimately the meaning and the application is the same. The problem remains.

The war on all words that describe a negative trait continues.

I promise whatever the goalposts are set to will be the next inappropriate term.

It's got electrolytes.

I think that's a fairly reasonable solution. The problem is asking people though. Can't really blast on the loud speaker that someone died, hard to go seat by seat.
