On Xfinity you can BYO DOCSIS modem. It has to be from an approved list of manufacturers, but I purchased my own DOCSIS modem back when you had to do that in order to receive gigabit internet service (it was still early days of the rollout)

So they can just call it a "Tesla™ Robotaxi", they already have a trademark. The Robotaxi part does indeed seem merely descriptive.

It saves development time because if I change an API my language server can immediately notify me about all the now-broken call sites, and I don't have to wait for tests to run to find out about all of them.

The sequestering goes back centuries, but it's certainly a reason to keep doing it beyond just removing outside influence once the process begins.

It's a big plus if you want to write code for it in something like Rust. LLVM support for the architecture they used on their older chips (xtensa) for a very long time required compiling a fork of LLVM and rustc in order to target the

Yep, this can absolutely be done. Home wall chargers are just a fancy switch[1], you just need a way to enable/disable it. Could be a feature of the charger, but in the worst case you could add your own secondary contactor that removes

Can confirm when I found out I'd be required to regularly change my password the security of it went down significantly. At my current job when I was a new employee I generated a secure random password and spent a week memorizing it. 6

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics[1], $9999 in 1995 is equivalent to $21,275.25 today, so it's a pretty spot on price for a barebones car. [1]: https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

I don't mind too much if there's still microcontrollers in the car, but I'd really rather they didn't have internet connectivity. The only antenna should be for AM/FM radio.

I think the point was more about mitigating the risk of being locked in to a platform with bespoke authoring tools. GitHub and Cloudflare are very convenient with their generous free services, but if you had to a hugo blog could still be ho

Reverse class action isn't a thing, there's no way to sue thousands of people all at once, so they'd have to bring their suit against every individual who did it. Costs would be guaranteed to be much higher than any possible

On android you can hold down the power button and then tap lockdown mode. Then it will require your pin/password to unlock again. Ideally have a password as your authentication method if you're concerned about privacy.

That's what happens when a CEO associates themselves tightly with their brand and then publicly takes extremely polarizing political action that half the voter base considers antithetical to their values.

I think it's pretty clear to see how discrimination is the cause of that. Why would you volunteer information that from your point of view is more likely to cause a negative interaction than not?

Depends on use case for sure, though I'm not sure why you'd want an interpreted language on a microcontroller unless you had plans to be able to execute dynamically loaded code in the field, which probably means it has some kind o
