At 3.18pm on 10 May 2018, Stefan Meier lost control of his Model S on the A2 highway near the Monte Ceneri tunnel. Travelling at about 100kmh (62mph), he ploughed through several warning markers and traffic signs before crashing into a slanted guardrail. “The collision with the guardrail launches the vehicle into the air, where it flips several times before landing,” investigators would write later.
The driver crashed, it doesn’t sound like it was in self driving mode.
Indeed, but cheaper than enough batteries to cover those times
In the off grid home scale one I’d size and set the generator to run for several hours in a row to fully charge the battery on days when the battery was at a sufficiently low charge entering the night, at least that’s what my current modelling suggests. Diesel gensets work best when running fully loaded for at least long enough to warm up
I guess at grid scale you find the sweet spot where most years the gas power station and batteries are balanced to provide cheapest power averaged over the year
The diagram shows that they fall short on winter mornings
My own modelling to decide what size battery I want for my house says it’s easy almost every day, but when you have three rainy and overcast days in a row you need a battery far larger or an alternative. For me the alternative is the grid; at grid scale it’s gas generators
I use keepass, it’s a little more work than many closed source ones, but it’s only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything
My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you
I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi
Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again
You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms
I use it mostly for family chats, I got the extended family to use it rather than Facebook Messenger
What makes you not trust signal as against WhatsApp?
You should be able to long press unwanted notifications and stop the system showing that class of notification or all notifications from some app
“Turn off” stops that class of notification from that app
Settings gear takes you to the notification section of the app that threw the notification and toggle any or all of that apps notifications
You can also get to the notification a couple of other ways:
I don’t mind reading a blog post from the past like that. Maybe it’ll prompt some modern comments about real mode
Fast boot in BIOS is about skipping tests, it’s usually safe to leave alone
Someone tries too many times to unlock it with the wrong pin or pattern; someone tries to factory reset it with the wrong pin or pattern
You can enter your screen lock to unlock it. Should you want to factory reset it you would need to enter your screen lock
It’s good for the common user who’s happy to use all Google services and can remember (or has written down) their credentials.
It’s absolutely useless for those out of the Google ecosystem
It’s annoying through to disastrous for people supporting other peoples’ phones
There’s only a small set of spreadsheets in my work life that need multiuser access, most of those are admin shit.
There are more in my home life, planning holidays, household tracking.
Buy most things at home and work have no need to be shared during update
Aussie copyright law gives us the right to circumvent protections in order to make copies to watch on a device the original can’t be played on.
Linux out of the box is remarkably incompatible with DRM protected content and so makes an excellent thing on which one might want to watch, listen to, or read a thing
I luckily live in a country where I may break copy protection if it is to move the content into a format where I can use it as I prefer
Eg I could (and did) legally break copy protection on DVDs to allow me to watch them on my Linux computer
Fosters beer isn’t popular in Australia, though beers of the same style are big.
I abandoned the brand after the S4
