Thanks, I was not aware of this distinction. But I think my argument still stands though? Users can run Deepseek locally, so unless the US Gov't wants to reach for book burning levels or idiocy, there is not really a feasible way to ba

How can they ban something thats open source that you can just run on your own hardware?

I reckon all text editors are some form of a Swiss army knife. IDE-ajacent text editors like VSCode et al are more like those ridiculous fat one with everything in it [1], and Sublime is the elegant model with only a blade and can opener, b

Not so sure about that... Yes the service plan is not mandatory, but when your car comes with an 8 year warrantee, then it's best to actually go and have the services performed, as it might pay off in the long term. A car is basically

A new car usually has a service/maintenance plan that might be 3 years or so, so it makes sense to only mandate inspections once that does not happen anymore.

That is... substantial. 13 appts in 4 years is crazy. My first car in 2007 was a 1975 peugeot, and although good looking, I basically had to pray "please don't break, please don't break" whenever I rode it somewhere. At

It's actually madness that they don't spec a maintenance plan. My 2019 Kona EV comes with a maintenance plan, but everything is "inspect" and then maybe a "replace" on some of the fluids every 100k km or so. In

EV Platforms, and all car platforms actually, are already white label. Look up "badge engineering".

I feel a lot of the repairability issues and poor longevity we have for electronic devices can be laid at the feet of Apple. So many "innovations" from them directly resulted in poorer device servicability, and other manufacturers

PCs are already extremely modular, and they have been modular for multiple decades now. All Intel needs to do is not refresh the socket with every CPU generation, slap a green sticker on the box, and amp up their marketing to include "

What's the difference between a TV with built in shit smarts and a plugged in firestick, and a TV with no built in smarts and a plugged in firestick? In the former you get subsidized hardware so the TV is cheaper, in the latter you don

The only people that I see that are actually blaming it on autism are those that are sky high from smoking copium. Musk himself is pretty overtly affirming what he did, with his nazi name puns and other tweets.

Do you listen to the music, or do you listen to the mic that it was recorded with?

The takeaway for me on all his videos is that yes, these things are different, and they make a difference. But the difference is so subtle and nuanced that its nigh on impossible hear it, especially in the mix, played on a CD, over a stereo

For anyone interested in how mucrophones can sound different, check out Jim Lill's video [1] where he A/B tests a bunch of mics against one another and industry standards. He has a whole series of videos where he explores what con

It sounds just like any other mic, with subtle differences audible only to the most trained ear. Their frequency response is probably well characterised and documented, so you can simulate one by putting an appropriate EQ over a "norma

From the above linked article: > The duration of a full reversal varies between 2,000 and 12,000 years. So not something that will have an even remote impact on a human timescale.

Addiction is one helluva motivator, and some people will put up with horrible tasting stuff as long as it's a cheap high.

I heat my house with oil, a truck comes every couple of months and fills a massive tank in my back yard. This "oil" is basically diesel. It smells and feels identical to diesel. But it's about 70 cents cheaper per litre compa

None of these vehicles seem very diverse or out of the ordinary to me. This is a pretty standard fuel and transmission distribution here in Ireland and South Africa where I"m originally from. Out of the ordinary would be diesel/LP

Every chest freezer that I have come accross in the last 20 years had a dial to control temperature all the way from fridge (~5°C) to deep freeze (~-18°C). Beer fermentation is very sensitive to temperature, so a very common mod is to get
