The first time I ever rode in a Model 3, I accidentally used the mechanical door handle instead of the electronic one. It’s exactly where a normal door handle is. The driver said it happens all the time.

The brakes in a Tesla are move powerful than the motors. If the guy in China had actually been hitting the brakes, the car could have never reached 150kmh. The chance of a simultaneous failure of the mechanical brakes, the electrical interlocks and the drive software is FAR less likely than the chance the driver was pushing the wrong peddle.

I don’t think he know about Shires, Pip.

Note for non-Americans: “RTO” here means “Return To Office”. (Not Rostered Day Off)

Being worried about CCP controlled apps is a sensible concern. Banning a single app (because Mark Zuckerberg is upset that it’s stealing his customers) is not a helpful solution.

You know the US government is paying TSMC hundreds of millions of dollars to open plants in the US, right?

Have you actually read up on her, or are you just assuming that based on her age?

The FTC has been run by old white guys for decades, and it’s been going backwards. Linda Khans essay on antitrust (as a postgrad student) has basically reframed the governments and legal professions approach to antitrust (although real change will be slow, with decades of bad precedent to undo). She went straight from being the top student at Yale Law, to being a professor at Columbia Law and simultaneously the counsel for the House committee on anti-trust.

TBF, it’s more likely just overconfidence/incompetence. Cracks are OFTEN flagged by AV, and it’s usually nothing malicious. The guys at 1337x aren’t dumb enough to think a crypto miner wouldn’t be found pretty quickly.

Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I’m on multiple private trackers, and they all hosted the infected version (they’ve been taken down now). Private doesn’t make it safe, especially when people are using automated tools to be the first to upload a torrent.

They started high-school just after Columbine, they were trying to get through high-school when 9/11 happened, they were trying to start their careers when the GFC came along, and they were trying to get married when COVID hit. Late-80s babies can’t catch a break.

I guess their love of punishing women for having sex is greater than their love of killing people who don’t have the exact same beliefs as them.

On windows, if you check the properties of the file, there’s a button to remove metadata.

On iPhone, if you go into your photos and drag a photo up, you can click “adjust” and remove or edit the location and time/date (it will still have camera data).
