- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 13 hours ago:
That’s weird, I don’t see that anywhere but to right of the picture I have:
Nintendo says preorders will no longer start on April 9th, but the console’s June 5th release date is unchanged.
I wonder if it’s because I’m in Europe?
I made a search on the page for some of the key words, and the quote you made does NOT appear for me?
And still with the quote, it doesn’t say if it’s ONLY changed for US? - Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 13 hours ago:
Where does it say that?

Is this global or just USA?

That you’d have to ask Audi about. I just know they do it.

Maybe it didn’t have the limiter because it’s not specified to be able to go above anyway?
Congratulations on the upgrade, I haven’t tried it myself, but I’d imagine it was amazing. 😀 - Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
It doesn’t make sense an American standard would use km/h.
Article:
This limit at 250 km/h dates back decades and has origin in Germany.
You:
so vehicles weren’t faster than police vehicles
Article:
They reached a gentlemen’s agreement to electronically limit the maximum speed of its models to 250 km/h.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
I find it weird that a rental wasn’t limited to 250 km/h. Which most factories do by default. In fact it should be limited to even lower than that IMO.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
It’s way faster than most cars can drive. Even high end performance cars often have a limiter at 250 km/h.
Here in Denmark, the limit is 130 km/h, If you drive 200 or faster, your car is immediately confiscated, and you lose your drivers license.
Many electric cars are limited to 160 km/h.So in short 300 is about twice what most would consider responsible. The breaking distance is 550 meter or more than half a km, in ideal weather with no slopes, and a response time to push the brakes of only half a second. That’s almost 5 times the breaking distance compared to driving 130 km/h (113 m).
Just in the half second to respond, the car will have moved 42 meters at 300 km/h!! - Comment on Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis 2 days ago:
Yes I’m not writing that shit, even in a sarcastic post. Bu I get your drift.
On the other hand VW group is absolutely killing it on EV recently IMO.
They totally dominate top 10 EV here in Denmark, with 7 out of 10 top selling models!!
They are competitively priced, and they are the best combination of quality and range in their price ranges. - Comment on Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis 2 days ago:
Hey guys relax! It’s all part of the learning experience of Tesla FSD.
Some of you may die, but that a sacrifice I’m willing to make.Regards

it really is just people being xenophobic everywhere isn’t it?
That’s what it looks like to me. Italy too AFAIK.

We had a similar party here in Denmark, that became second largest party of the country with 21% in 2015, When the government introduced tough restrictions on immigration, they almost vanished a few years later, only very narrowly managing the 2% minimum requirement to have seats in parlament.
The popularity of the party was highly based on limiting immigration, much like Brexit, Trump, AfD and AFAIK also RN of France.

Ah OK didn’t notice that. English is 2nd language.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
We discussed the test here on Lemmy a few days ago.
I can’t find the video that was debated, but you can’t be serious about not knowing about this issue?!?!? It’s a years old issue that is still not fixed!!! - Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
Are you talking about remote controlling cars from India or something?
That last sentence makes very little sense to me.How is that relevant, I’m pretty sure the latency would be too high, so it wouldn’t even work.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
I think the fair comparison would be humans that drive legally.
Idiots that drive high or drunk or without prescription glasses or whatever, shouldn’t count as “normal” human driving.
In the same way a self driving car can have issues that will make it illegal.The problem is that legal self driving Tesla is not as safe as a legal person. I sees poorly at night, it gets confused in situations people handle routinely. And Tesla is infamous for not stopping when the road is blocked from 1m and up, and for breaking without reason. I’ve seen videos where they demonstrated an unnecessary break every ½ hour!! Where a large part was the German Autobahn, which is probably some of the easiest driving in the world!!
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
Because they are driving under near ideal conditions, guided away from roadworks and avoiding “confusing” crosses, and other traffic situations like unmarked roads, that humans deal with routinely without problem.
And in a situation they can’t handle, they just stop and call and wait for a human driver to get them going again, disregarding if they are blocking traffic.I’m not blaming Waymo for doing it as safe as they can, that’s great IMO.
But don̈́t make it sound like they drive better than humans yet. There is still some ways to go.What’s really obnoxious is that Elon Musk claimed this would be 100% ready by 2017. Full self driving, across America, day and night, safer than a human. I have zero expectation RoboTaxi will arrive this summer as promised.

For me it was about freedom, and not being locked into the Microsoft sphere.
- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
Past administrations have all had hands toward what we have today.
Absolutely, I also wrote in another response that Obama was just unlucky that it was under him that these things were revealed.
And also the sad fact that my own country was complicit and helping USA spy on European countries.It’s disheartening to feel so powerless in the face of such a FUBAR-POTUS clown show in the chainsaw wielding circus.
I am really sorry for all the good Americans that have to suffer the consequences of this administration.
It will probably get worse before it gets better. - Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
Was it written on the phone of the people they called?
- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
Yes IMO that part was very disappointing. As I used to say, Obama is an excellent president for USA, but he is still American.
Meaning there are things where we simply don’t see the same way.
But as a Dane I can’t really complain much about it. Because we were complicit, and helped USA spy against other European countries, for which I am much ashamed. - Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
No I don’t, Obama was a good president and USA our allied under him.
I hate Trump.
But it’s alarming that a president that we consider moderate and a friend, still think these things are OK. - Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
As should have been done already 10 years ago. When it became clear American authorities can seize any information stored on servers outside USA, by any American service provider.
And Obama claimed it was a “fair balance”.USA has in many ways acted almost like a totalitarian regime for decades, disregarding their own laws, international laws, and especially the laws of other countries.
This became very clear when Obama stressed that illegal surveillance/monitoring wasn’t used against American citizens.
Obviously meaning that citizens of other countries have no rights, and there are no laws preventing American intelligence in any way.As it turned out, what Obama promised wasn’t even true, and Americans stationed in for instance Iraq, were very much monitored.
With regard to information of other countries, USA has CLEARLY demonstrated, that they have no regard for decency or even laws.

There are many considerations like FOV would be better with a bigger screen, I think 4" would probably be the max, but still that’s only at 2k ppi, there’¨s a looong way to 127K. Even with a 4k ppi screen you can do 8k view with just 2".

I think it’s more about the fraud rate
AFAIK there is less fraud on sex pages than on facebook.

It’s a Victorianism syndrome,
oxfordreference.com/…/acref-9780195176322-e-1665
Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834—were introduced for the moral reform of paupers
Where morality has nothing to do with actual morality like in whether it is doing harm. But everything to do with government making decisions over your private life and your body.
This mindset is disgusting, immoral and childish. And it so permeate everything about most English speaking countries culture for some reason.
It’s a kind of a thought police, that has no base in actual morality. But in bodily inhibitions and insecurities, supported by superstitions about an old man in the sky who disapprove.So anything having to do with naked skin and sex is a nono. Even if it’s not actually sex but only loosely related to it, like being gay or trans.
If they were really serious about this sex thing, stating to be CIS should be exactly as problematic, and pushing the thought of marriage on children would be extremely immoral, because that too indicates sex. Which has almost become the sole purpose of marriage under the moral standards of Christianity, as it’s the only allowed form of sex.
So in short, the answer to your question could be boiled down to “brainworm”.
There is no logic or moral explanation, that doesn’t boil down to inhibitions, control and religion. - Comment on World’s smallest LEDs from a new semiconductor: New LED displays packing 90nm 'virus-sized' pixels can deliver 127,000 PPI visuals. 1 week ago:

Maybe, but it would be more logical to simply bypass screen to eye camera, to just transmit the signal from the original camera directly.
But hypothetically yes, that could possible be a use in a future scenario.
