I just airdropped 130 photos from my phone to my coach and I was sure it would take forever. The preparing stage on my phone took maybe 10 seconds, and the actual transfer took what looked like 2 seconds. I couldn't believe it.

The blue indicator is almost impossible to see on modern screens, vs the old one that blinded you from in between a couple of dim gauges.

What do you mean "do much"? Wouldn't negatively impact users, or wouldn't help the botnet problem? The article makes it sound like the issue is largely compromised routers and cameras -- and presumably cameras are less l

I suppose ISPs could be more restrictive about which routers they allow their customers to use, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of further lockdown in that department.

Iceland's hot water was a culture shock to me in 2 ways: 1. The host at our apartment encouraged us to leave the windows cracked and the heat on for good air circulation. 2. The hot water (at the taps) has a sulfer smell, because it&#x

Sure, it's very possible, and I'm sure has happened (an autopilot-instigated crash that happened >5sec after disengagement), but I do think 5 seconds is a reasonable threshold for this data, at the very least.

I think the parent is suggesting that they could compare the FSD accident rate to human-driven Teslas that they also have data on.

Interesting, thanks. I haven't followed the hardware revisions on my car very closely; my father has a 2017 S, and I'm so used to thinking I have the "newer revision", since my MCU was newer than his, and he only recentl

Honestly, I just dismiss all of the promos they throw at me. Just yesterday I got an ad in the app "refer a friend and try FSD (supervised), and get $15!" So I opened up the app just now and I suppose I got my answer that proves m

It strikes me as incredibly weird to maintain two separate stacks, especially because FSD was "available" when I bought my car. In retrospect, though, I guess it wasn't actually available to use, just for purchase. So I suppo

I have a 2018 Model 3 with basic autopilot. I have an FSD question. Does FSD have different driving behaviors from basic autopilot? I'm not saying "capabilities"; obviously it has more capabilities, but I mean the actual driv

Aha, right you are! I wasn't logged in since I recently got a new phone.

Only ridden Waymo twice but I've been much happier with them than the average Uber driver over the past few years. I keep seeing them around my home in Menlo Park (Redwood City), but they're still in testing phase and not availabl

I live in the Bay Area and went to my Nextdoor because I was thinking of seeing if there's much anti-Flock sentiment, and (not surprisingly for Nextdoor), most people seem to think anti-camera people are paranoid, or have something to

You get a glimpse of how dislocated from reality the HN crowd is whenever they assume their reality is the only reality.

How far of a jump is it from the buses in Norway with hidden remote access to "decoy sim"? It might not even be a decoy -- it might just be the sim for the "user facing" telematic/infotainment, and there's anot

It's a _terrible_ app, though. You create a weekly schedule by dragging little temperature bubbles onto little spots on a chart, one by one. The only "advanced functionality" is that you can copy one day to another. Also, you

The original Nest thermostat and app has been abandonware since 2017, as far as I can tell. We got one in 2014, and I can only remember one change. A couple years into my use of it, the iPhone X came out, with the notch and taller screen. T

Okay, but is it difficult to extrapolate the weight saving benefits of a "legal" power e-bike motor?

Yep! Every single client required the password be typed in again, which is problematic in a house full of wifi devices (~50), some of which don't have keyboards, or have janky setup processes. Surely you're aware of wifi devices t

Sure. Those are also things I optimize for. I'm using 40mhz 5ghz channels and 20mhz 2.4ghz channels. I'm in the 'burbs, but silicon valley, and small lots, so there's definitely some contention for channels. Just sharing

I'm lazy so I just fire off the occasional speed tests using Ookla. It doesn't _really_ seem to matter what channel width or frequency I use, I tend to get around 600Gbps from my iPhone (17, pro). When you make it a point to ensur

Huh. Interesting. I've never replaced the parking brake mechanism or (separate) pads myself, though I've done a handful of brake jobs. On the cars I've worked on, the hand brake did not actuate the primary caliper so retracti

I pay full price up front. Just bought an iPhone 17 pro and sold the 16 pro on Swappa. I've never found a trade-in deal that was better than selling a phone myself, and the 1 or 2 times I've tried it, I've ended up frustrated

by rconti 1y ago
I don't follow. Every time I drive my car I release the parking brake. On the cars with electronic brakes, you use a button rather than a lever. I'd do it the same way to service the brakes.
