I have a Model X on the east coast of the USA. I charge at home, and only use superchargers when away from home (even though I have free supercharging). In the last year, just 4% of my car's energy has come from superchargers. The Tes

There are a number of things to look at 1) Airdrop goes and scans for peers periodically and borks wifi. Try ifconfig awdl0 down. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31706283 2) Try separating your 2.4 and 5GHz net

How much bandwidth does Twitter use for images and videos? Less than 1.4Tb/s globally? If so, we could probably fit that onto a second machine. We can currently serve over 700Gb/s from a dual-socket Milan based server[1]. I&

Very nice! I agree with your wish that Apple put 6E capable wifi chipsets in their products. To me the benefit of 6E is the additional frequencies that are available. What, if any, wintel laptops support 6E these days?

The syscalls section of https://wiki.freebsd.org/DTrace/One-Liners makes this super easy. I periodically "audit" our Netflix CDN stack looking for silly things and fixing them..

I remember seeing my dad's erector set from sometime in the 1940s. He'd made a working saw, using the lid from a tin can as the saw blade.

Wow, thanks for letting me know. That's pretty shocking

The last I checked, they don't support OpenBMC. This is a deal killer for a lot of folks, for security reasons.

While we're at it, I'd like to give a shout-out to the UEFI devs who decided that in their shell, certain elements should be dark blue on a black background. That's lead to so much fun over the years when recovering machines

I came here to say exactly that. However, in one sense of the word, we do owe a lot of the modern tech stack to ATT. Between their invention of transistors, and their invention of UNIX, they do form the basis of the modern tech stack tha

The Franklin Ace 1000 was my first computer. I already used Apples at school, and it was just an Apple clone. Between that and the general "if all else fails, read the instructions" attitude that my Dad had already passed on to

Yeah. I just tried, but only the banner is removed :(

How do you know the problem is solved, and the customer didn't just hang up in frustration?

Off topic, but is there a firefox extension that will get rid of that @#$%@#$%#$% substack popup that floats in the middle of the page?

I'm not a fan of companies telling me what I want. I'm aware things take time, and the food we order from this place travels well and reheats well. Post a click-thru warning and let me decide for myself.

Hmm.. Lyft has no option for consumers (though they do have a delivery service open to businesses) Uber has a package delivery option. That actually sounds interesting. I may try that the next time we're at her place.

I'm much more interested in a free-form decentralized general delivery platform for food. The customer places the order directly with the merchant, and the delivery person just delivers and is paid directly for delivery. Why? Because

I think its as the GP says "vegan is a dirty word for some people" . Between a lot of vegans being meme-level obnoxious about their veganism, and early plant based products being horribly bad (Boca burger, I'm looking at yo

If you're not buying it because of the case where they're scared to label something which is vegan as such, then you're part of the problem and you're hurting veganism. What matters is reducing climate impact, reducing a

It would be nice if they could offer an option to avoid roads with histories of crashes (like tolls and ferries). One example I have is there is an intersection on my way home that Tesla maps (and Google maps) wants me to turn left at. The

The Intel PCM suite does what you seem to be describing w/o a kernel module, and it uses nicely abstracted MSR accesses so that its portable to any OS. https://github.com/intel/pcm

by drewg123 4y ago
Why does it need a kernel module, rather than just using the MSR API like similar tools do? Intel's PCM tools for example, show quite similar information, and are available on a variety of OSes..

Try a moving truck rental, and rent a van. They're set up for one-way, and often have stock when car rentals are sold out. Some of my ex-wife's colleagues returned from a conference in Denver back to the east coast in a u-haul van

I'm in my early 50s, and I honestly spend about 60% of my video-watching on YouTube, 15% on IG and TikTok, and 25% spread among Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Apple TV+, Prime, etc. I really should start being a serial canceller.

My partner was "shadow banned" from Uber for what we suspect was a payments related reason. No matter what card she put in Uber, she would see "payment declined", even when the card was well below the limit, and she wou
