How about the Mac generation, that only know how to use Apple products
When we’re all retired and dying off, the world will regress to the pre-industrial age it seems.
Someone knows Cleopatra 2525 existed!
Definitely worth it. Runs exceptional woth GOS
4612·22 days agoAh, yes, here come the “just use your old car because EVs are worse for the environment than the Exxon Valdez or something” posts
That is a myth thoroughly debunked by just a little bit of research and data collection into the making and driving of EVs, as that assumption ran off an old study that used guesstimated worst-case scenario numbers and don’t really reflect what the actual numbers are.
If you want to avoid being tracked, you will have to disconnect the data modem somehow - it is part of your radio antenna. If it gets no power, it gets no connection. Either disconnect from the telematics unit, or at the antenna. Also, you can disconnect your telematics unit itself - the “black box” that lives under the dash and records your driving. Some aftermarket makers have “dummy plug” connectors which will trick the car into thinking it is connected. These are often used with aftermarket head units.
Beware that some cars are tracked by your financial lender, and they don’t like it when this happens. Some other cars actually have to be cloud connected once in a while or they stop working - which is the worst thing modern cars can do.
4·23 days agoIf it means we get many GW of Solar added so be it… but I bet the oil guys will say “just add more gas turbines” and give them a rebate on the generators
AI datacenters are the scapegoat to a bigger problem

even more nuts is that it will support pc games via FEX, an emulation layer that runs x86 windows games on ARM in Linux
In addition to streaming from your battlestation
Ah, yes, the Hussein curve, a well known phenomenon that showcases sudden increases at the end of the graph
You need a new modem that supports the higher upload speed protocol. And having a DOCSIS 3.1 isn’t enough… it has to be a DOCSIS 3.1 that supports the new protocols. I had to switch to a Hitron CODA because my Netgear CM1000 wasn’t enough anymore
It’s a decent sbc for low performance things. I’ve seen them used in just about every chinese android car head unit system.
disconnect telematics units and/or radio modems.
PayPal Pay In 4, Paypal 12 months (sometimes), Amazon Affirm, all no interest. Unless you miss the payment. Then bend over for it. Interests rates vary from 8 percent to 32 percent retroactive, depending on who you get it through. I’ve used BNPL several times, but always made sure I can afford the payment in the monthly budget, and only when it is zero interest.
In addition, I have the rule of “only one active BNPL at a time”.
