So shrink 'em down then. They’re only that big due to the old CARB or CAFE regulations anyways (I forget which), and those are gone now too. So you can sell them domestically at that smaller size too.

In fact, I’m curious on what the size and weight limits are, and if the Slate truck will fit within them. It’ll be awesome if it can sell as-is with no modifications.

Or protected bike paths.
Or trams and LRTs.
Or even just some goddamn EV subsidies again.

Perfect opportunity for someone to deploy some spray paint.

Oh hey, a second reason to carry a schrader valve tool in my bike storage! Time to give every car here a pair of flat left tires.

Sounds like an improvement to me.

Heh, it’s on the right track. But as an IT guy and tech nerd, I’d want to go for something like this. I’ve even set mine up for computer logins back when I had an Active Directory test environment for learning.

Isn’t there a thing where car thiefs use an RF booster to make newer cars think the keyfob is right next to the receiver?

Personally, I’d want an antenna on/off switch that gets activated by shoving it in the keyfob hole. Seems reasonably secure.

Hegseth has charm? I just assumed he was yet another nepo baby hire.

Easy check, grab a voltmeter and do it yourself.
Pull the plug, set voltmeter to AC, and read the voltage across the prongs. If you get anything over the usual float voltage you get from just holding the probes ungrounded, then you have a problem.

Redundancies and failsafes are always a best practice in engineering work. This is no different.

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Still not planning on buying any of their games, but if this move encourages more overall Linux developments… Well, we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I mean, yeah? You give anything a connection to a global network with billions of people, and there will always be a chance for it to be exploited. Hell, even my personal OpenVPN instance for remotely accessing my home servers has to fend off attacks.

This is why my next vehicle will be a slate truck. Zero internet connectivity by default, and updates can be done via USB-C from a phone (which can be vetted as needed).

Four casinos actually. Six if you count the two that got bankrupted twice.

I’ve had a couple good roubustas, but it is a fickle breed to roast. If done wrong, even a medium roast will come out tasting like Folger’s. Moderately higher quality Folger’s due to the freshness, of course, but still Folger’s.

At the one gas pump in my town that does it, it’s the second or third button on the right side of the screen.
And if they ever patch that, I’m filling the speaker holes with spray foam.

Yep, still only TS3 for the servers.

Have they released the server parts of TS6 yet? Last I checked, it wasn’t available on the download page.

I vaguely recall some college students making a suppressor for leaf blowers, and it was effective without significantly reducing power.

There used to be a few branches like that on the sidewalk to my grocery store. I just bought a pair of shears and read up on how to prune safely.
