My BYD has a decent mix. It has a volume knob on the steering wheel which you can press to mute, and a previous/next button.

If you want to mess with your playlist though, you use the touchscreen. You’re not supposed to do that sort of thing while driving.

Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.

“Hey, here’s a useful thing that I recommend to people: <your work>”

It’s basically a compliment

You don’t seem to have an Nvidia Vulkan driver installed.

Your system can see the Intel and Nvidia GPUs, but it only sees an Intel Vulkan device and a software emulation device (llvmpipe).

Proton needs Vulkan for graphics to work.

Okay, but running a huge online service on the internet means massive cyberattacks happen on days that end with a Y.

He pulled the plug on equipment and fired people who were supposed to handle the problem, didn’t he.

Fucking called it

Only some Pixel 4a phones are affected, apparently.

You know… the stuff they’re doing to some Pixel 4as - reducing charging speed, limiting charge level, etc - those are the same things EV manufacturers do when they’ve got known faulty batteries catching fire and are trying to work around the issue with software.

Doing it to certain devices which you can look up by IMEI, that sounds a lot like something you’d do if you had a certain batch of batteries catching fire and knew which devices had those batteries.

More than a year after end of life, Google suddenly decides “stability of battery performance” is such a big issue that they’re going to pay compensation to people? That isn’t suspicious at all.

But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.

Okay, but battery technology is also continuously advancing. ‘We’re making progress’ isn’t a killer arguement when the nuclear energy folks say it, either.

It isn’t that hydrogen technology is stuck in the 90s, it’s that it isn’t advancing fast enough to actually catch up.

In 2050 we’ll have hydrogen tech that would beat 2020’s batteries. But it won’t be up against 2020’s batteries, it’ll be up against 2050’s batteries. And people will still be saying that it’s coming any day now.

Also: “everyone who disagrees with me is delusional” is not an arguement that has ever convinced anybody, ever.

We’ve all had Kerbal Space Program missions that went like that.

No, I mean that if lots of developers are using Denuvo wrong, it’s Denuvo’s fault for being too difficult to use correctly or not providing enough support to developers.

Even if it’s the developers using it wrong, if lots of developers are doing that then it’s a fault with Denuvo.

If one car hits something, it’s a problem with that car. If lots of cars keep hitting something, it’s a problem with the road.

Okay, but if lots of games are doing it wrong, it’s still Denuvo’s fault.

IIRC there is actually some benefit to having a low gear and a high gear, because the electric motor works at any speed but can’t give the best power output if it’s too slow or too fast.

You don’t get CEOs and billionaires.

It’s not enough to have more money than you could ever spend, you need to have all of the money.

Well, we have preferential voting, so you can vote for whoever you actually want and put both of those further down the ballot.

I mean, where I work we’ve hired every female applicant we’ve ever had and we’re still at around 98% male. I’m not sure what we could even do about it.

The thread is great.

Tentacles dropped out of the top 25 for the first time. Times are a changin

“TOMBOYS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” - yesssss we HEAR you 😜

I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.

It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.

Why is it we send things by car and it’s a shipment, but we send things by ship and it’s cargo?
