That’s my next question. If things are bad enough that the Internet is gone, what reliable source of power would survive the unknown scenario that got things that bad?
That power source would also need to power a separate computer or smartphone that would also need to be kept protected from whatever happened.

Is it also hardened against EPM’s?
- Comment on Aptera’s production-intent solar EV completed its first road trip traversing over 300 miles 4 weeks ago:
Using some of the incoming power to run the AC seems reasonable. Especially when the battery is above 75% charged. It would be interesting if the AC would go harder for more minutes per hour as the charge level gets higher.

Has anyone found the places where the navigators work to see how it goes? Has a navigator shared their experience on the web somewhere?
I am very curious as to what they are asked to do and for how many cars And for how much money

Packaging the job as a video game side quest is genius. Make so the gamer has to do several simulated runs before they connect to an actual car, and give in-game expensive consequences for messing it up

Power saving mode. The maximum power saving mode allows for just a few apps to run at all, so picking out the apps that are for communication gets the outcome you’re looking for, as long as you keep the phone on that maximum power saving mode.

I had a phone with a keyboard that small. Surprisingly easy to work with.

Yeah, I think it’s fun and funny to play with but terrible to try to make money off of it.
- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 2 months ago:
Sounds like a kit car or rebuild of a less than sporty classic would be ideal for your commuter car.
- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 2 months ago:
Well, I wasn’t interested in Jeep before, now I’m decidedly against buying a new one.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 2 months ago:
Fixing safety issues would have to include that sharp front end. Maybe just ditch the entire “stainless” exterior and restyling the whole thing would help with that.
Pretty much start with the battery pack and drivetrain, start over after that.
- Comment on would you buy a compact laptop that has spacebar touch sensitivity and allows you to adjust input sensitivity, giving it dual purpose (a spacebar and a mouse)+ it has integrated A5 printer in it? 3 months ago:
No.
But I would immediately buy a new laptop with a track ball and mouse buttons like this one

It’s my understanding that LLM’s are thoroughly unsafe, always reporting everything it does and every input back to whoever made the LLM. So, wouldn’t it be easy for whoever owns the LLM to see what it’s being used for, and to refuse service to scammers?

Says the designer or design team, backed by whoever is over them who approved the decision.
As for why? For design reasons. To make it prettier so it sells more units. To fit in with the brand’s minimalist theme they’ve got going on.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
Yes. Disagree with their decision, fine. But it was thought out and purposefully done.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
Is it meant to stay on forever once you set it up?
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
I don’t understand why this is so hard to understand. You’re supposed to stop using the mouse while it is charging, and use the mouse unplugged. That’s the purpose. It’s not a stupid decision, it just prevents some user’s preferred operation of using the mouse while it is charging

If they let the driver into your place, they’ll expect the driver to take a video recording of what’s in there so that their algorithm can serve you better ads, and to avoid serving ads for things you already have.
Fewer ads? Amazon has never heard of her
