I was hoping for “get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method”

The last car I got is from 2015 so in 10 years I’ll get one from this year (but not tesla).

I want the new technology but it has to work like the old, and I can answer myself: Okay boomer!

I’ll have to find a compromise when I finally get an EV.

Is there an option to physically disable this?

When i finally get an EV I don’t want it to be online in any form, is it even possible to get one like that?

Latest sneak peak of the phone in action:

Remember 10 years ago the YouTube app only showed ads on every 3rd video and often only a single 5 second ad, and everything longer could be skipped.

Like a frog in a pot I could tolerate that amount, a few years later they started the ad ramp-up and what finally drove me to install vanced were 3 unskippable ads you had to endure just to watch something.

j/k h/l I learned those playing Nethack

It’s about 15 years ago I used a 486 based embedded board with ethernet, can’t remember the name of it.

Literally unusable

Just install Luanti and that will take care of the Minecraft group.

You are right, it’s not very often I see fights here.

Regarding migration to Lemmy, I think it will happen originally/slowly and in a few years the majority of questions will be asked here.

Correct we only want the sour linuxers here.

Browsing the internet will be like playing AI Quake II, you’ll think you are in this alternate universe.

I use Devuan on my servers, changed because I was annoyed that systemd was forced on me. (I have mellowed a bit since and accept that systemd is here to stay)

I chose Mint for my laptop, because I just want a OS that works and still gives me a taskbar. (Here I got fed up when Ubuntu switched away from gnome)

All of them are apt based Linux because it just works and when apt shoots itself in the foot during dist upgrades you can still wrangle it back in working order.

Sounds about right, I had a positive experience when I told my local LLM to refactor a function and add a single argument.

I would not dare letting it loose on a whole source file, because it changes random things giving you more code to review.

In my view current LLM’s do a acceptable job with:

• Adding comments
• Writing docstrings
• Writing git commit messages
• Simple tasks on small pieces of code

You are correct it’s an confusing article Quantamagazine have written, why do they start highlighting “Tiny Pointers” https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12800 when “Optimal Bounds for Open Addressing Without Reordering” https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.02305 is the main paper, and it disproves part of Tiny Pointers.

Here’s a link to the paper “Tiny Pointers” https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12800 those editors at Quantamagazine writes their summary in a strange fashion, for instance using x in stead of n which is normally used in computer science when talking about big O notation.

Yeah probably, but if this forces Tesla to close all factories outside America.

But you must admit that page 763 of Encyclopedia Britannica is worth picking up!

I hope one day you will read your comments from 2025 and think: “Oh shit, was I this obnoxious!”
