- Comment on Connected cars can be hacked, research finds 24 minutes ago:
Remotely enabling heating/cooling of my car so it’s ready when I get to it is just so god damn nice. This is only possible with internet connection, if it’s limited by keyfob range to the vehicle then it may as well not exist.
- Comment on Hetzner (European hosting provider) to increase prices by up to 40% 7 hours ago:
I’m definitely not running newest HW, I’m running on 6y/o HW and refurbished HDDs bought 2 years ago. But even if my power was free (it isn’t), and nothing breaks (it will), I would need to run the server for ~10 years to make up for the subscriptions it let me drop.
- Comment on Hetzner (European hosting provider) to increase prices by up to 40% 17 hours ago:
Ah, but your hardware is most definitely not free. and even if bought used, and your power is literally completely free, it will likely fail or be too obsolete before any actual savings occur.
I’m not saying don’t self host, just don’t think you’ll save any money doing it.

If you’re making your own server to save money, boy do i have a bridge to sell you!
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 2 days ago:
I’m pretty sure it’s the same overhyped bullshit on the European version of the Tesla site as in the US, the actual product available in cars is just limited more.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 2 days ago:
Yeah I am, and here it is nothing but well-marketed lane-assist. It does better than other brands, but nothing resembling actually steering of the car.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 2 days ago:
The “auto steer” is what is called lane assistance in other brands, it just keeps you centered in the lane and will do so for mild turns without disengaging. It doesn’t take turns or anything resembling actual steering beyond that, it goes straight and takes mild bends in the road like all others.
- Comment on Tesla Switches Full Self-Driving to Subscription Only 2 days ago:
Yeah they probably could, like all manufactures can these days, but I haven’t heard of it actually happening outside of them going back in to Tesla to be resold. Directly from person to person they retain features and even free supercharge access.
- Comment on Tesla Switches Full Self-Driving to Subscription Only 2 days ago:
The only cases I’ve heard that fit this, is some of the old model S where “free supercharging” got removed from vehicles that were resold through Tesla.
Do you have a link to cases where functionality actually got removed from vehicles sold privately directly? I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened, I just haven’t heard of any.
- Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash 3 days ago:
people hurt by the supposed “Autopilot”
I thought these cases were all regarding incidents with the FSD package and not autopilot? The autopilot (in Tesla) is just TACC and lane-assist, the “advanced” autonomous features that actually steer the car is all in FSD.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 3 days ago:
Clogged…like a broadcast storm? IDK, I can see the analogy working, but I don’t doubt that any resemblance of correctly was purely coincidental.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 4 days ago:
I mean…replace the word “tubes” with “cables” and he’s reasonably correct on an ELI5 level I would say.
- Comment on Pentagon seeks commercially built GEO spy satellites 5 days ago:
The Pentagon is trying to fast-track the deployment of spacecraft for surveillance of geosynchronous Earth orbit, or GEO, a strategically important region roughly 22,000 miles above Earth where many U.S. communications, missile warning and intelligence satellites operate.
So…they want a solution to monitor what is currently moving around in GEO. Doesn’t seem particularly sinister or even like “spying”

Lemmy is by no means private or secure, and depending on your level if op-sec you are easily identifiable.

This has absolutely nothing to do with LLMs…
- Comment on European Parliament bars lawmakers from using AI tools 6 days ago:
It does on all flat map projections…what is located on the left (or right) is arbitrary though.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans 6 days ago:
Eh, not really though. Generally if your car is stopped, even in the middle of the road, you are not at fault if someone else hits you. You can still get fined for obstruction of traffic, but the incident is entirely the fault of the moving vehicle.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans 6 days ago:
a crash with a bus while the Tesla vehicle was stopped
Uuh…wouldn’t that be the fault of the bus? I mean, the system is faulty as fuck so there’s really no need to mix in shit like this, it reduces legitimacy of the otherwise very valid criticism.
- Comment on Passive RFIDs can now stream telemetry data from sensors 1 week ago:
I’ve had ZigBee door/window sensors last as little as a few weeks on a AAA battery, making them practically unusable.
- Comment on You NEED To Selfhost 1 week ago:
Yep, Western Digital said they were sold out of drives for all of 2026. Since 2026 is just starting, they haven’t actually produced those drives or gotten actual money for them.
This is exceedingly normal procedure for manufacturing companies, and not limited to tech industry by any means. They know how much they can potentially produce on their lines, if they have predicted customers to fulfill the capacity for a full year they are basically sold out despite not having produced most of it yet.
The company in work for also has “sold out” for several of our factories because we have orders for 110% production capacity on them. Orders are not paid up front, they never are in any industry, it’s always paid after delivery usually with a 30-90 days delay (and even more in some cases).
There is nothing spectacularly weird or out of place in the announcement they’ve made, it’s basically standard procedure.
- Comment on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State 1 week ago:
Unfortunately most people just don’t fucking care, or even consider it an issue.
Someone in my local HA community proudly shared how they had been able to use AWS face recognition with their own cams so they didn’t need to run face recognition locally…fucking absurd to experience someone tech-savvy willingly hand over these things and recommending others to so it too.
- Comment on Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead 1 week ago:
I do, I didn’t really need to spend 3-4x the money for my server storage and regular HDDs are fast enough for media streaming. 6x18tb would’ve been unnecessarily expensive as SSDs
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 1 week ago:
self-autonomous
Just autonomous…the “self” is included in the definition of autonomous already.
- Comment on Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL) 1 week ago:
INDX is done by a completely different company, you cannot credit their work to prusa at all.
- Comment on Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL) 1 week ago:
My point is that any innovation by prusa, slicer or printer, is pretty much past tense.
- Comment on Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL) 1 week ago:
Yet a lot of those businesses lean on the work of prusa.
Yes, a lot of the groundwork was done by prusa, and yes a lot of companies are standing on their shoulders. Prusa 100% deserves a lot of credit for enabling what 3D printing has become today, no doubt about that…but they haven’t really been innovative or at the front of 3D printing for a while, they stagnated and have been overtaken as a consequence.
- Comment on Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL) 1 week ago:
I would much prefer them to stay in the business and as much ahead of the competition as possible.
They are already behind the competition and have been for some time
- Comment on Are Vorons still the best DIY printers in 2026? 2 weeks ago:
I would love to love Prusa’s printers, but they just keep lacking IMO. They cost an absolute premium price, but you get a sort of “yesterday’s tech” experience with with them. I can get two voron v2.4 350x350x350mm kits for the price of a single Prusa core one L, and aside from active chamber temp control the core one L has basically the same functional features as the vorons.
