The problem first became apparent to Tesla in March of this year after complaints about unintended hood opening from Chinese customers. By April, it had identified the problem as deformation of the hood latch switch, “which could prevent the customer from being notified about an open hood state.”

Given that China is now an electric car superpower, this situation will not bode well for Tesla in that country.

This post does not belong here. This is not a post about technology.

It’s all about getting users to buy new PCs that can run the AMAZING AI! (I’m being sarcastic here). It’s good for AMD and Microsoft’s pockets.

One theory some analysts say is that since Macron’s second term ends in 2027, and since it’s his last, if the FN doesn’t govern well, then his party might be able to win again.

Basically, they’re saying that Macron is playing a dangerous game of chess.

In the '90s and early 2000s, Microsoft’s business model was the classic one of selling products to customers. Today, it’s all about the cloud, advertising, and AI, where the product is the user.

They will just enable it by default later when the heat passes. They always do. You no longer own Windows.

Brave is Chromium based. UBlock will be affected by the changes.

Firefox is the way. If you haven’t tried Firefox since 2008, you should. It is as fast as Chrome. It has improved significantly since 2008.

Google Search uses a regular search algorithm. Google AI overview will be a product that feeds from Google search.

Rationality is out of the window. Ideology is the new religion. They don’t want to become “socialists” even though they don’t know what it truly means.

If you look at the data that KDE exports, there’s nothing that directly identifies you. That’s why I’m willing to help KDE. Like I said in my other post. It’s all about transparency.

Yes. It’s all about transparency. I can see exactly what KDE is exporting, so I’m willing to help KDE. I cannot say the same for closed source software.

What the hell?!?!?! This is a server OS! It needs to be as light as possible and for the sake of server stability and security, admins carefully choose the installed apps. Microsoft can’t just install new applications on a whim.

This is fuged up.

“Just like the megathread,” an announcement reads, “free-form ads encourage multiple users to come together, get the information they need, and deep dive into the topic at hand.” Reddit explained that the open-ended nature of these ads will give advertisers more freedom to explore creativity and, hopefully, to start conversations with users.

Enshittification to the extreme…

Reddit is planning six tiers of early access based on each “participant’s contributions to Reddit,” the company said in its updated SEC filing. Those tiers are based on a user’s “karma” score, ostensibly an aggregate total of up/down votes on posts and comments.

The first tier of users will be those “who have meaningfully contributed to Reddit community programs,” though what that means isn’t explained more clearly. After that come tier 2 users, who must hold at least 200,000 karma points or have taken at least 5,000 moderator actions. Tier three includes users and moderators who hold at least 100,000 karma points and have taken 2,500 moderator actions. Tiers 4 and 5 are each half of the previous tier’s total, and tier 6 includes everyone else, with a waitlist available if the total number of shares purchased exceeds the original 1.76 million.

Basically people who karma farm with low effort posts. This will only encourage low quality posts.

Ever since Musk’s control of the company, Twitter (I refused to call it X) showed me multiple hate and racists posts. Basically, Twitter is showing me garbage. I now use Mastadon instead.

What the hell is HP’s printers unit smoking?!?!
