  1. The problem of repairability and independent garages to have access to the tools, software and training to repair cars is not specific to electric cars. The level of electronic and automation is related to safety norms which applies to any car.
  2. Good question to ask manufacturers.
  3. You'r giving sales number, that doesn't means that it's what people are looking for, it's a representation of what manufacturer provides. Most people buy laptops with copilot AI, that doesn't mean they want it.
  4. You can also go with VP9 which is pretty much on par with HEVC
  5. I'm doing this with Tesla's on the road already. When I see one i'm extra-cautious.

    This company is so shaddy around all the driving assistance and FSD issues that i have 0 trust and will not until it is thoroughly investigated. They are quite behind other manufacturers on simple stuff like line assistance and automated breaking already, they are going out of their way to make every reported incident sounding that others are to blame, it just looks bad from end to end.

    Rushing those robotaxis is just trying to hide the fact that they are quite behind the competition on all those fronts.

  6. Not really. With vaccines you can have controlled groups (vaccinated or not) and study the benefits versus risks. This is done before any vaccine is introduced to the public, any vaccine showing not enough benefits versus risks is discarded.

    We do not have this luxuary with plastic. Controlled groups are not possible, asking that risks inherent to micro-plastics in human body are proven is therefore impossible.

    To compare back to vaccines, it would be like vaccinating very single human, with a vaccine which is not tested and which purpose is unknown. Then asking someone to scientifically prove that this vaccine causes health problems as a condition to stop systematically vaccinating every single human.

  7. It's saying that there could be a link and a link has been found on mice. That and the fact that the human body is not supposed to be running partially on plastic should trigger some actions.
  8. I realise my comment is not super clear. I meant that the world seems to stand by because nobody is in position of escalating against the US.

    Those operations have nothing to do with cartels and everybody knows that. Nobody knows if those boats are remotely linked to cartels, there's reason to doubt that the US army even does. Cartels are irrelevant here and the murder of random people is not why the world stands by and let this happen.

  9. This is just about people wanting to be seen as strong men in their own country and attacking citizen from other countries they know cannot retaliate.

    Cartels will be fine though, do not worry. USA credibility, less and less.

  10. LibreOffice Calc works well and does the job for what most people needs, I don't see any issue recommending it.
  11. Why would he have a treatment of favor? Almost every person convicted in his situation has a an execution provisoire, there's no special treatment here. Same for lepen.

    Let's put things straight, both of them are criminals, giving them a treatment of favor would be insane.

    And to show how morally corrupted they are, both of them have been really loud about a no tolerance justice system. I guess that speaks for itself.

  12. I got a FP4, will definitely buy again.
  13. I believe that an atmosphere compatible with human life is a bit more useful than internet by satelite. The fact that the impact of re-entry of satelites is absolute insane. Any good engineering company would study the whole impact of scaling up before doing so. The fact that spacex didn't do that is really worrying and regulation should come to stop what they are doing asap until the impact is better understood. Some more serious engineers at Japan aerospace are studying wooden satelite which is a quite approach to the problem.
  14. The opppsite would be more logical. Selling data should be opt-in, in the absence of explicit consent no company should be able to sell data.

    In case we agree on selling our data we should be able to set our price and get paid for sell, use and resale of data. It's crazy that those parasite companies get that for free.

  15. Chima is also the country that produces a big chunk of what western countries consumes. The emissions from China are also our emissions.
  16. The issue is that it is not on the edge. It is very much the core feature of those tools, at least how it is currently sold.
  17. I'm not sure this attack allows starting the car itself.
  18. Looks like the Wero payment system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wero_(payment) It's not provided by all banks yet, but it does work nicely.
  19. We're talking about social media here. There's nothing throwing the whole society under the bus.

    I don't agree with the approach from the Australian government and I don't see that at being effective but regulating shady companies using deceptive techniques to maximise their profit is a necessary thing.

    Personally I think differentiating impact on kids/teens and adult is a mistake and the approach should be around really strict control on data collection as well as strict control on the use/abuse of manipulative techniques to create addictions.

  20. There are multiple studies showing the negative impact of social media on teen's health. It's not about censorship but about forcing companies that don't care at all to be held accountable.

    I'm not sure the approach taken by Australia will be effective (i'm not sure how it can be implemented), but i don't see the problem with doing something against harmful companies like meta, tiktok, x/twitter

    One of the study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10476631/
