I buy my upgrades used on ebay. Check your seller before buying, of course, but that does mean more money in the pockets of people who are trying to get rid of unneeded stuff.

even more nuts is that it will support pc games via FEX, an emulation layer that runs x86 windows games on ARM in Linux
- Comment on Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time 2 weeks ago:
As much as people want to believe self driving cars are a deathtrap, the reality is, just like flights, they’ve proven to be safer by the numbers - much fewer accidents per mile - than human drivers. It’s the giving away control part that people have a problem with. People don’t feel safe when they’re not the one in control, and when they’ve been mercilessly hammered with bad news and warnings about technology rebelling, it plays into their fears, and magnifies a smalll concern into a world ending problem.

You need a new modem that supports the higher upload speed protocol. And having a DOCSIS 3.1 isn’t enough… it has to be a DOCSIS 3.1 that supports the new protocols. I had to switch to a Hitron CODA because my Netgear CM1000 wasn’t enough anymore

Mine’s 5th gen, so it’s bigger than the one he’s got.
Mine’s also stick. 5th gen (2017-2023) is the last gen with the manual. Other than the WRX and the BRZ, all the new ones are auto only.
Also, 155k, still on the OG 5 speed. Had to put new center diff (limited slip component was not limiting slip properly), but otherwise still good. Yes it has gearwhine, it’s had it for 100k miles now.

Ironically, my 2018 Subaru is more mechanical than this. 2/3 dials are mechanical, cable-driven flaps / valve for heat and vent control. Only the fan is an electric dial.

- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 month ago:
My manual transmission Subaru Impreza has Android Auto and a Reverse Camera. That’s the most advanced part of the car. It’s a dinosaur otherwise, with a transmission and drivetrain that debuted in 1999 and an engine that’s rough but reliable. The instrument cluster has two gauges - speed and RPM. The rest are on a calculator LCD that displays numbers for fuel and miles travelled, and a billion different danger lights that tell you if there’s a problem somewhere. It also has electric windows and door locks. And cruise.
The problems the car has as it gets older are none of the electrical bits - they all work fine. It’s the rear wheel bearings, suspension bushings, and center differential that wear out over time. Ironically, the most basic, mechanical parts.

Rather impressive how well made the video looks at first glance. Only the timestamp reveals its artificial, but I’m sure enough plays and sleuthing you’ll see other minor details.

OCR is a very, very old AI system that for decades we’ve scanned documents and saved to pdf with. The old system is far from perfect, but it does work well enough in most cases. If an AI recognition model can do the same job with less mistakes, that is an improvement.

Controversial take: FH5 is entertaining, and the weeklys are a challenge to knock out every time.
Except for when The Trial decides to run The Colossus as one of the races. I’ll just grind the 5pointers instead, it’s quicker.
