The tech bros had to find an excuse to use all the GPUs they got for crypto after they bled that dry

I’ve been leaning more and more towards using fdroid just to find apps and then using Obtainium to install them directly from source.
It’s because when banks make loans, they sell of the debt, but nobody has wanted to buy the debt for Musk’s loans. My understanding of this is essentially, if someone takes out a loan of $100 million, the bank will sell that debt to an investor for $101 million, and the investor will make back $102 million once the loan is paid off due to interest. But no investors are confident enough that Musk will pay back his loan so no one is ponying up the dough to buy it.
I used to find stuff like this fascinating. Like if collecting my data can help me, why not? But technology has gotten to a point that it’s just straight up creepy how our every single waking moment can be tracked and collected, even if it’s me collecting it. It’s like watching every dystopian sci-fi story come to life in real time.
Can we stop making everything digital? I can’t see a single benefit of turning my license plate into a screen
I’ve started just booting them from USB. I have Home Assistant running on a pi with an ssd in an external enclosure and it’s been completely issue free.
The raspberry pi is about the worst case scenario for SD cards. It may be idle, but an operating system is still making constant reads and writes, which absolutely eat through an SD card

That’s exactly how you guesstimate CPU performance. It obviously won’t be accurate to real life use cases, but you don’t necessarily need benchmarks to get a ballpark comparison of raw performance. The standard comparison is FLOPS, floating point operations per second. Yes different architectures have different instruction sets, but they’re all relatively similar especially for basic arithmetic. It breaks down with more complex computations, but there’s only so many ways to add two numbers together.
24 threads at 2.00 GHz vs. 8 threads at 0.66 GHz with a 40% difference in TDP. The AMD chip may draw more power, but has much higher performance. Simplifying things, it can perform 9x the operations as the Apple silicon for only 1.4x the power draw.
Google has shown time and time again they couldn’t care less how malicious an ad is, they’re still getting paid
KOSA is the one thing that the “both sides bad” group have going for them. The Democrats true colors really shine with their support of it. I’m well and truly shocked it’s the Republicans who killed it, though I suspect that’s because it wasn’t “rules for thee, not for me” enough for them.
While that may “solve” the issue, it’s still due to a faulty physical component. A software update is just a bandaid over the real problem.
To be fair, it’s not an issue with just Tesla, but basically all modern software. The end user has become the beta tester.
They’re already trying to label trans people simply existing as porn
Funnily enough, the Rivian CEO talks about exactly that in this interview
In that scenario, we would be using one ECU to do everything I just described. In this case, it’s a much larger computer, but one computer. It’s a massive simplification for how we think about software development and also drives a lot of cost out of the vehicle because instead of 70 to 80 little boxes — little computer boxes with wiring and connectors and everything else — we have, in our case, seven.
So when one small thing stops working, you now have to buy their proprietary, expensive ECU instead of a cheap little microcontroller.
Not surprising, considering Tesla autopilot sees trains as a bunch of semis bumper to bumper.
“Hating on anything the Nazis did is stupid because they can build ok cars”
Doing one ok thing doesn’t negate the fact that Meta is one of the most evil, unethical hellholes of a company. Anything they touch is absolutely rotten.
