Oh wow I didn’t actually know he was bipolar (checked to confirm it is the case). I knew he was on the autism spectrum.

I can’t imagine those 2 play nice together.

Do you actually blow up test bridges or do you just practice placing the explosives?

No don’t you see, putin knew the Nordics were going to join NATO and that’s why he invaded Ukraine! 4d chess! Now he has proof and was right to invade!

/s just in case.

There’s a portion that only hate Elon and not Tesla, but there’s a lot of Tesla hate out there as well, and there has been since even before Elon publicly went off the deepend.

Some of that might be decisions that Elon made for Tesla, but it’s still at Tesla.

Edit: but I will take your point and say my use of majority in my OP wasn’t correct as the majority here is about Elon.

Pretty cool how this was being made for mortars and then it worked well for this

They’re bigger so it’s hard to know, but it’s usually something like 2.9% + 10c a transaction.

At their scale though who knows

Waltz: Vance I heard you fuck couches for fun.

Vance: NO I DON’T

Waltz: That’s not proof. If you’re gonna fact check me you gotta provide proof! Clearly you fucked couches!

The car will still work if you take the radio out or put a faraday cage around it, maybe that’ll become a thing in the future, but that might fuck with the paid charging infrastructure for EVs. Doesn’t impact gas.

They should almost just make it so the blaze plan of firebase or other cloud services has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction. Tops up to $1 if it goes to $0

I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you’re going that far, you’re getting $1 of use out of it.

You should watch - Leave the World Behind

You might be right, but I don’t think it’ll be because their cars are the easiest to hack, it’ll be because they have the most cars out there capable of doing this and it’d be more impactful attack if successful.

(edit: Also they’d be able to exert the most control on their cars with the software/sensors available today at scale. E.g they could more easily have the car drive around until it finds a pedestrian to hit)

(edit: Further, you can make the most changes to a Tesla as they have one of the more (or probably most) advanced OTA update capabilities)

They are definitely a prime target.

It’s not that simple though.

Steam doesn’t suffer a piracy problem because what they offer and the cost they offer it at outweighs the DRM, and there are certain things you can’t do on the pirated copy because of the DRM (online play / friends / social stuff)

If suddenly valve decided not to do any DRM and the games could be freely copied, played online and use their friend services, of course they’d have a piracy problem. Of course I’d share a copy to all my friends, who would all do the same. (edit: and at that point it’s not even piracy anymore, it’s just sharing with friends because you aren’t circumventing anything)

Valve has found a sweet spot in this regard, but the DRM is important to their success, but we don’t have ownership. We can also solve the ownership problem now in the future or at small/medium scale now…

I’ve had Google charge me $0.01 before for firebase usage.

They really should have waited until I owed more since that cost them money.

I know the majority of you hate Tesla, but security is something they do take more seriously. They even take part in pwn2own to help find vulnerabilities.

All auto manufacturers should be taking part in that.

Nothing like winning a car to get people to try and break into it publicly.

Edit: Also details on the 2025 event in January just recently announced. https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2024/9/23/announcing-pwn2own-automotive-for-2025

Oh no, you won’t be able to filibuster your own bills anymore!

Oh, well that’s a great warning. Glad they put that there.

And ya I already use signal.

Not that I DMd people, but I don’t think I knew that, so that’s good to know.

But also don’t mistake a not for profit as not being able to do something to aquire money to help pay for itself or the salaries of it’s people. They could absolutely be looking for ways to monetize this to a certain extent. A not for profit is not a charity.

There are privacy options to opt in to this, but it’s not on by default.

Assuming you can trust the options anyway.

Edit: I do think it will share the video in the event of an accident or vehicle break in though even when not opted in.

I’d never even heard of this before. Wtf

I worked at a company that handled sensitive data and we always had to pay special attention to logs in code reviews to make sure someone wasn’t inadvertently logging something that could potentially be private.

What makes you so sure that the person hosting your instance isn’t monetizing it or trying to find a way to monetize it in the background?

Maybe they’re selling all these posts and DMs to OpenAI?
