To complicate matters further, conventional Traffic Aware Cruise is technically the third driver assist mode Tesla offer in their cars in addition to "AP"/"FSD", this of course also works without the painted line.

Its also worth pointing out what feature set you get with "Autopilot" and even how well those features operate varies a lot depending what country you are in. In the USA, it's gone quite a bit beyond just cruise control on st

The problem with git for general text work is that it is distributed VCS... even software engineers struggle from time to time with the concept that changes can happen in isolation on separate copies then merge back to the "master copy

While I commend anyone who takes the time to patch a tube, if you have kids/job/life/etc it is so much quicker and easier to just replace the tube. They can be bought for very little and fitted before you've even tracked

I've signed and returned almost everything requiring a signature for years this way, you can even have multiple signatures (helpful when you need spouse to sign something too...) in Preview to speed up dealing with these kind of tasks.

The "bumps" (industry term for solder left on bottom of chip to attach to a board/circuit) in question are specified by the GPU chip vendor, not Apple. This is why every single NVidia customer during this period was affected,

Nvidia still offered the "unofficial" official driver for a long time that let you run unsupported GPUs in Mac Pros or Hackintoshes for quite a while. I ran a couple of Maxwell generation NVidia parts this way, even though macOS o

Perhaps you caught this news story, but Epson very recently found 30 brand new unsold R-D1s and planned to distribute them somehow. Could be your chance! I suspect these are pretty collectable now, especially having used the Leica M mount.

Perhaps, but I have a Panasonic G9 (20mp) and a EM1 Mk1 (16mp from 2013) the differences, while measurable to some degree in benchmarks, in day to use are really not that noticeable at all. The m4/3 industry relies effectively just on

I did this, 2013-2019ish. Unfortunately there has been so little development in m4/3 sensors over this time period that my iPhone has replaced it for all scenarios except occasional extreme-tele. The improvement in quality offered by e

The unibody construction isn’t unique at all in 2022. Virtually every car on the road (except for handful of pickup and some SUV/off-roader models) has been built this way for decades now, and isn’t what’s exciting about this new appro

It was one of the worst things they did for a sizeable subset of users and devs; for "the business" though it may well have made sense in financial terms at the time. With the public API before it was heavily locked down I mainly

It used to be quite common; at various times in its history you can make the argument Ford sold cars at a loss to help Ford Credit sell profitable car loans. Even today, Ford Credit (loans/leases etc) is responsible for about 50% of Fo

This is by no means limited to Tesla, and is true of almost every new car sold now. As an example, almost every new Ford sold in the USA since 2019 has standard 5G/GPS remote connectivity; even the cheapest entry level cars at Ford lik

This argument has never really held water; Volvo and Subaru both use vision only ADAS on various models, and did it long before Tesla too. Vision based ADAS only became a "problem" in the eyes of some when Tesla adopted it... >

You might well be right, but a lot of people felt that way about PDAs in the 90s; "no one but a Dukakis dork is going to walk down the street, nose buried in a tiny screen"... At least for the PDA, the form factor didn't need

It’s almost entirely about PERM interviews conducted by Facebook for their H-1B holders looking to adjust status, yes. My main issue is with your earlier statement that this has nothing to do with the H-1B, when it almost exclusively concer

A green card is _not_ an employment based immigrant visa or even a visa at all - the H-1B is. A green card holder has permanent residency and can apply for largely any job a US citizen can. Further they are not required to leave the country
