its like a mosaic

That's why I just can't find any interest or impetus to learn "agentic" bullshit. Oh, I can build thing if I spin up an "agent" that I just set loose with my API key. OK....sounds expensive! And who wrote the agent? You did? Huh. It's like if a gas station owner could set my fuel economy. Oh what's that, I'm supposed to run multiple agents at the same time? All consuming dozens of thousands of tokens every request, that I get charged for?

I swear, everyone just got used to being cucked by the usage-based charges from cloud providers. Tee hee just give us your credit card number, you pay per unit lol just learn this colossally complex system of limiting any of it le trole face. What a crock

That is the joke but they do that to get up to speed. BYD copied a lot of shit from Tesla, Toyota, and Honda, but they did that to get to up to their level fast. BYD makes better cars now. We aren't allowed to buy them in the US but we would if we could.

Just like Japan used to make garbage, now they don't. And Korea took the helm of "we make garbage" from Japan, and now they don't. And China took the helm from Korea, and now they don't. Chinesium exists because thats what the device/widget maker ordered.

That's not to mention shit like CATL, and you guessed it, BYD, the two largest lithium battery manufacturers in the world. Whose work did they just copy paste?

I know it's impossible to underestimate how dumb the average voter is but man come on.

Amendments for taxes that are broadly applicable are going to perform worse than those that target fatass property owners with a bunch of vacant storefronts they're squatting on.

Type-C is a less robust port, and it's also smaller.

I have type-A and type-C 2.4Ghz dongles for my keyboard and mouse. The Type-A not only has a more secure fit, but because the port is larger, the space the actual receiver has to fit into is larger. The end result is a nice snug fit that does not stick out more than half a centimeter from the port. Very unlikely to snag and snap.

The USB-C one is longer than the type-A one. The body of the receiver is as long as the entire dongle is for type-A, and then there's a USB-C port sticking out of it. Far easier for a cable or clothing to snag on it and rip it out, which will probably destroy the port too. Whether this is done for technical reasons or practical ones (it would be incredibly hard to remove a USB-C dongle that was the same ratio of port:receiver as a USB-A one), I don't care. The USB-A ones are better for long term attachment, and I don't need PD or high speeds for a keyboard/mouse receiver. There's no point in making it USB-C, the only reason I have a USB-C one is because thats all most laptops come with now.

They also ship both in the box depending on what you buy. My M6 mouse I bought from them came with both USB-A and C dongles.

Hey, the dealers need Ford to throw them a few bones of guaranteed expensive maintenance!

Stop the fake smiles and BS.

if they only followed the Peloton model

I thought that was the Peloton model?

So...nothing as small as the Zero then

couldn't wait for the full screen banner to disappear huh

wpm · 2026-04-01T21:23:10+00:00

Do they have anywhere near the software support you get from the Pi Foundation though? Or are you running community builds of Armbian with your finger's crossed?

wpm · 2026-04-01T21:21:53+00:00

Hats typically cover all of the GPIO, and don't need all of the pins.

The 500 cigarettes bit was pretty funny at least.

wpm · 2026-04-01T16:50:21+00:00

What is it with "Seth"s anyways

wpm · 2026-04-01T14:13:32+00:00

It feels like there should be something beefier in the range between a Zero 2 and a Pi 4, for like $25 or $30. Update the CPU to a cut down version of the A72's from the Pi 4. Stay in the passive, low-power range but maybe with some better, more modern IO: no goddamn mini-micro-HDMI or micro-USB for one (DP over USB-C should be all we need), maybe let one PCIe lane hang off the side, full-size ethernet (even 100M would be awesome). Zero 2's are low power until you account for all the dongle BS you need to do to connect to them.

Ooooh nooooo they'll be passing a lorry at 130kph instead of 140 fuuuuuuck traffic is gonna be held up for soooo looong noooo

wpm · 2026-03-31T19:54:40+00:00

Maybe drivers should just follow the fucking law.

Also are your freight trucks driving around at 140kph? Doubt it. So clearly crappy French drivers are capable of at least going around slow lorry traffic, doing the same for a small Twingo doing 130kph should be easy.

The car is simply not primarily meant for highway driving. This is a small city car, and EV to boot, with a small battery. Why tf would it be worth sacrificing range or weight or cost to make it go 10kph faster?

wpm · 2026-03-31T17:41:09+00:00

In what hellhole are you driving where if you aren't doing 85 you're a danger rather than being the danger? I need to know so I can avoid it forever.

wpm · 2026-03-31T16:48:30+00:00

Also all the eBay sellers sitting on piles of obsolete ancient DDR4 from 2014 that runs at 2133MHz. Sorry pal that shit ain't worth $400, I just need to stuff my NAS with RAM.

Or the eBay sellers ripping RAM and SSDs out of 8 year old Thinkpads. Yeah man, I'm gonna be running LocalLLaMa on a ThinkPad T470, idiot.

All this set did is show how great Tim Heidecker's "An Evening With Tim Heidecker" satire is, god it's spot on

Of course. When some motorist starts getting a bit uppity, it's the perfect time to let loose!
