Nut & Bolt is getting added to the repertoire. Something about how the double meaning relies on changing them from two nouns to two verbs tickles something.
And their premier vehicle, the CyberStuck
With a name like that you could say they were screwed from the start.
There could be a whole thread just on the variations of that concept, but the most obvious for a gas station has to be “Pump and Dump”
Yeah man, who do you think all these execs and consultants in charge of these build outs are asking haha. “Hey ChatGPT, should we make more ChatGPT?” “Yeah buddy make all the ChatGTPs that’s a great idea, would you like me to massage your ego and greed centers next?”
I’m thinking things like “Same-sung” For Samsung, because all their products look kinda generic and boring, or Ford standing for “Fix Or Repair Daily” because of the engineering and build quality, or “McDiabetes”, for obvious reasons.
I know chip and RAM fabs are incredibly difficult and expensive to build, but how is the several trillion $ out there just up for grabs for anyone that can undercut the like 4 companies that have one not enough for tons of huge companies to say “I don’t care what it costs, I don’t care what you have to do, because even if I pay 50x what it costs nvidia to make a fab, I will still be scrooging like a villain”?
Oh that is just standard copy straight out of the union-busting playbook. In law you would call it “preserving the objection” which basically means they know it’s BS but at least if they don’t back down from it they can burn more time and money because now the process has to accommodate for all this “pressure” “confusion” and “misunderstanding” that po’ 'ol liddle Wikimedia just can’t make sense of.
Imagine being the first person to realize that the Empire is dead and you can just fucking climb up there with your buddies and take that gold cap lol.
Not by me they aren’t don’t tell me what to do
Time to switch and save lol. I change phone plans and car insurance about once every three years at least because no matter what they find a way to run up the price on you over time, so there will always be much much better offers out there
Well go revisit that , it is peak 90s overblown comedy action schlock, which is objectively the best genre of movie lol, and I’ll go read Perdido Street Station which sounds dope.
Beetle fan hahaha. Maybe I had just watched The Mummy or something before picking that one years and years ago
Yeah Windows Activation has probably has more programming time burned on it over the decades than all of NASA lol
Right, I’m not really sure how their product keys would work, without a “product lock”, for the key to fit into. That’s probably not a great metaphor, point being, of course they would always have needed and used something like this to lock your OS to your device using the product key, right?
And being “in the US” or not doesn’t have shit to do with it anyway. Yes, CBP gets some special powers at the border, like warrantless search, but whether you are before or after passport control does not determine whether or not you are subject to the laws of the US, with, again, the exception of the special powers granted CBP that do reduce some protections you would normally have.
Oh for sure, I just meant for those people that do subscribe to Porsche Connect, Porsche is very probably finding some way to monetize all that sweet sweet location and navigation data. I feel like any car that generates telemetry data and has a data connection to the manufacturer, those companies are packaging up and selling off that data to someone. But that’s really just speculation on my part.
You have fewer rights at a border crossing for sure, but that doesn’t make it some sort of “constitution free zone”, mostly it means that they are allowed to conduct ‘routine’ searches and interviews without a warrant, and hold you for a certain amount of time, and deny you entry if they deem that necessary, all without a judge or warrant involved. How much protection you get from the 4th and 5th amendments is definitely different at the border than not at the border. But that does not mean you have zero rights at the border, they just want you to feel that way so you stay compliant.
Yeah, I hadn’t seen one drive by slowly in a quiet area before, so this is the first time I noticed it, but it sure sounded like the boots and/or joints were already toast on a 2-to-4 year-old truck, which is insane.
That’s exactly what I use remote start for. Just leave your car set to 68 or whatever and then when you remote start it will come up or down to temp. Even on my cheapass Chevy that’s 10 years old I can remote start it (including the HVAC) and also hold the “unlock” to start the defroster. Now I can’t actually change the temp the system is set at without getting in the car, thats true, but that’s a real edge case for me when I can just leave it set at room temp pretty much year round. Even the seats and steering wheel will heat up if I left that on beforehand. But maybe you do have a real need to tweak the temp and A/C values on the daily where you live, rather than just have the car resume where you left it at, I wouldn’t know.
So are we just kind of admitting that there exists no way to expose any networked device to the internet securely? Because if it’s not possible for PLCs I don’t see why it would be possible for any device. If water utilities have to take these offline, then how does that advice not apply for every internet-capable device in every commercial and industrial facility worldwide?
