I don’t know what the situation is today, but I had to build a new computer during the end of the series for the AMD chips and have a 5800x

I know they have since released some newer chips for that motherboard series for gaming, but I’m now on a cycle of when I may want to upgrade its near the end of a cycle.

Kinda annoying.

I’m sure he could have done more than he did. Ultimately, they didn’t think Trump would win and didn’t fight back hard enough because they were worried about the backlash that might cause on the upcoming election.

Now, Republicans have shown that they won’t allow votes in the last year, but only if the dems have the presidency. It also set the precedent that they can even do that in the first place.

I guarantee you someone who needs replacing further out than a year will now be denied in the future for some other bullshit reason.

Edit: here’s my worst outcome guess. For all future terms where the dems hold the presidency, but not the senate, all future SC nomination votes will be denied since congress and the presidency is conflicted and we can’t have a vote while it’s in conflict.

So…

Fuck Trump obviously. And everyone who voted for him. (Edit and fuck everyone in the voting doesn’t matter camp)

Also fuck Mitch McConnell

But god damnit, fuck Obama for not fighting Mitch, and fuck Ruth for not retiring when she should have.

So, has there been a more monumentally catastrophic series of rulings like we’ve had this week?

Presidents are kings and immune to the law

Kickbacks are now legal

Executive agencies completely destroyed

I know other individual rulings may be worse, but in this case the series of rulings.

Lol, that just made me think though.

Instead if made with slave labor labels

This PAC and or politician received donations from slave labor using companies and a list.

I wonder what they must think of telecommunication satellites.

The space rays are making me sick!

They should mandate a "made with prison slave labor " label…

What good does dumbing them down by defunding education have if you don’t indoctrinate the new cattle?

They’re farming GOP idiots.

Keep em poor, uneducated and breeding without a way to abort and in the future no contraception

Now GM bolts

I wonder how long they can “hold onto” a recall like this while waiting for others to announce one first.

Is it just like, oh there’s so much paperwork so we have a 6 month window, and it doesn’t even matter since the parts aren’t available until the fall anyway?

There should probably be better rules on holding info back.

You probably agreed to all of this in the billion page TOS so it’s no unsolicited.

They’ll find a way to turn that into prison not jail.

They definitely had something, I remember reading about it at the time. it might have involved what they knew about previous coronavirus’s as well. Whatever they had though it ended up being wrong.

I’ve been doing my part for over 15 years now.

I’ve only had to go 2 or 3 times on roadtrips when they were literally the only option, always late at night.

The vaccines initially did just that, it just turns out it was able to adapt anyway or they were wrong.

Ya, that’s how it goes.

Here it is

https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/msom.2020.0937

It says on average 7.6 following recalls get announced, so we might get a few more!

Porsche just recalled every Taycan as well for a brake hose that can leak.

Tesla, Ford and Porshe all back to back.

Someone, university or something looked into this once, and found that something like 70% of the time recalls happen in groups like this as OEMs wait for others to announce their recalls first as they take the bigger stock /media hit. Then anyone else who had one but hadn’t announced it yet jumps in and doesn’t suffer as much.

I feel like something like https://www.storj.io/ is on the path to what we would want/need?

There might be some additional requirements for a true CDN to ensure data is closer to where it’s needed and in as many regions as needed though with the right amount of bandwidth. The data gets stored all over the place, but that doesn’t mean its optimal. But they do seem to claim it’s faster on their website…

Edit: For those not wanting to click, TLDR is they use excess storage around the world and make it accessible anywhere, and safe from failures. People with excess storage can join the network if they have enough storage/bandwidth and pass some tests. Their API is S3 compatible.

I’ll be honest with you: all but one of the half-dozen (which is too many, BTW) cars I own have manual transmissions, and half of them don’t even have ABS, let alone any other fancy electronic nannies. I mention that to help explain the extent to which I am fundamentally Not On Board with anything that interferes with my manual control of the car.

Well that’s fair. You know what you want, nothing wrong with that.

I would absolutely insist on the maximum torque the self-driving system could apply being much less than the strength of the human driver. I don’t know if that’s the case in late-model vehicles or not, but if it isn’t, I would consider those vehicles to have an unsafe design.

I really don’t know on this either. Even if you can overpower it though in a worst case fighting you scenario, I imagine that would be a pretty fucked up driving moment.
