  Pedometers, you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, true, but tyres wouldn’t make it a double distance, it’s not that simple. The case isn’t clear, if course, but the claim says that the odometer tried to reduce the range after it got out of the warranty period.

  Not saying anything about the merit of the case, just the the claim itself sounds interesting and that if true, you can’t wave it away with “you changed tyres”.

  Fucking hell, that site a million partners who all have “legitimate interest”. I’ve clicked on like a third of them and then gave up. I don’t need their shit.

  They have been making their own x86 knock-offs for a while now, but not at the same scale as the “regular” - i.e. they’d been doing it at 14nm or so, so less efficient.

  I don’t know if they have better fab process since then, and for how big a scale.

  You could just block most of the internet services - gmail, youtube, facebook etc under these rules, and then wreak havoc. I bet they’d roll back these laws in record time if someone pushed them to the limits :/

  I mean, often enough even that phone call won’t help.

  But you’re right, as long as everything is working normally, working on premises slows you down to do maintenance, updates etc etc. Cloud (of all kinds) takes that work away and you can work faster. And in the VC-driven daily and eternal grind, moving faster is the only thing that matters.

  yeah, traceroute might hint at that, if this is what is going on.

  I will perhaps be nitpicking, but… not exactly, not always. People get their shit hacked all the time due to poor practices. And then those hacked things can send emails and texts and other spam all they want, and it’ll not be forged headers, so you still need spam filtering.
