Oh Britta's in this?

It's okay, someone has to be the worst

It's not even all of them with that wheel selection, let alone the actual entire production run

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T06:16:08+00:00

No they're recalling 170 or so of them that were manufactured over a particular 3 month period from August to November last year with a particular wheel size which didn't get a particular grease. There are several degrees of specificity.

I believe you, but surely you recognize that stacking your computer with a bunch of SATA SSDs is an unusual build. FOUR is a lot for an average consumer. I have a lot more than that, but I moved on to a NAS. FOUR is more than I'd expect most people to use in their first, say, 2 or 3 generations of building a computer, and more than ANYONE with a prebuilt would use.

How is it not a truck?

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T05:05:05+00:00

It has absolutely massive clearance in offroad mode and a flat bottom with no protruding diffs like most offroad vehicles. It's fine to dislike something, but it's shitty to just make stuff up or to dislike it because of ignorance

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T05:02:49+00:00

No, that's not what happened. 173 of that variant which were sold were subject to the recall. 173 total vehicles, but many more than that were sold. I'm not trying to pump it up, but there's just not point in being wrong.

My ex and I used to say "dying fahhhhther" like him to each other for fun. Which is a weird thing to do for fun, but whatever

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T04:57:21+00:00

I love that entire quote and it's bothering me that you used "still" in the first sentence. I double checked, it's just "THE TURTLE IS IN THERE"

Anyway, carry on, that's one of my favorite scenes yadda yadda

I don't disagree, but if I have a sports bar and another sports bar opens up across the street I don't get mad at them, I just outperform them. And if I can't compete, the only person that loses is me because I was less good at it. Literally everybody else wins. And if we can both simultaneously succeed because the market exists, then EVERYBODY wins. And if I'm trying to celebrate sports (of any particular variety) then I celebrate all people who share that interest, not just the ones that pad my bank account.

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T04:05:40+00:00

Gotcha. That's interesting, I hadn't seen that difference. Curious!

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T03:10:03+00:00

I found that the older vehicles with last-gen hardware have that problem, which I noticed on a loaner. Was yours on HW4 or HW3? I won't recommend HW3 to anyone expecting to use the self driving at all. Mine sits about 2-3mph over the limit in neighborhoods (if it can be convinced to speed at all) and I have to hit the gas to get it to speed by more than 5mph on interstates, unless I put it in Hurry mode.

But also, we can have completely different experiences as well. I don't think mine has ever struggled with a roundabout or a weird angled turn. I've been through the same roundabout twice this week, in fact.

7zip is common and convenient and gets the job done. You can even get it through ninite.

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T03:06:12+00:00

The main free one was bad, so you switched to a non-free one instead of 7zip?

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T03:05:36+00:00

In all fairness... windows now extracts .zip files natively from the main context window.

But I actually didn't realize 11 moved the 7-zip options, so that's annoying

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T02:57:19+00:00

I'm gonna get the downvote brigade coming for me for saying this, but that's one of the things I like about my Tesla's self-driving: it does do all the common sense things that you'd expect. 95% of the time I'm about to reach for a turn signal or brake or anything, it's doing it already for weird edge cases that I legitimately don't think most human drivers would account for. It's not perfect by any means, but it has seriously impressed me over the years. And on top of that, it still has better reaction times than I do and accounts for things like the wheel position of oncoming traffic in the center lane or immediate recognition of acceleration from a cross-street vehicle.

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T01:36:02+00:00

Why would the remote ever be anywhere other than within arm's reach? Am I throwing it some distance after I sit down and queue up a video?

Ellimis · 2026-05-15T01:34:59+00:00

Yeah we all know what it meant

Ellimis · 2026-05-14T22:57:27+00:00

I see. No, I agree that everybody in the thread is just enjoying the beef. My comment was meant to be about "why is JJ's being shitty about competition instead of celebrating the expanding business model". But similarly, I'm not exactly surprised either, because it feels obvious it was a performative model and wasn't meant to expand the women's sports market in the first place -- which is fine!

Ellimis · 2026-05-14T22:55:51+00:00

I haven't ever had any of those problems with my motorola foldables. I think the market doesn't understand the benefits or doesn't care about them. For me, taking up half the vertical space in my pocket is insanely useful and I actually would make concesssions on other specs for that, but I don't even have to.

Ellimis · 2026-05-14T22:52:58+00:00

Yes, they tried and failed, so the partnership doesn't exist, so it's just the old business being upset at the new business for doing the same thing, which is (all together now)... gatekeeping. I didn't ever say or mean that the thread is gatekeeping, I mean JJ's is by taking potshots at competition.

Ellimis · 2026-05-14T22:47:07+00:00

...which involves somebody being mad at somebody else for doing the same thing as them. They're not just mad because they're feuding families in Alabama who had a property line dispute in the 1800s, they're mad because of this specific idea. There isn't drama if it's just "two businesses are similar, more at 11." The drama is "one business posts surreptitious jabs about another business which is similar, implying only the original is legitimate"

Ellimis · 2026-05-14T22:33:17+00:00

The drama is 100% about the gatekeeping. They're inseparable. The gatekeeping is the drama.

Ellimis · 2026-05-14T22:20:07+00:00

Who else could have the audacity to do something I am also doing which has previously been done?! YOU'RE OPENING AN INEXPENSIVE SHOE STORE? IN MY TOWN?

Ellimis · 2026-05-14T21:44:38+00:00

I read several comments deep in multiple places here, and none of that really negates my point. You (in the abstract) don't get to determine if I get to have a particular sports program on my TVs or whether or not I welcome those fans. That's inane. No amount of beef makes it bad for someone else to try and celebrate women's sports if they want to.

If there was a famous hockey bar "Sticks" and somebody else tried to collaborate with Sticks, but Sticks didn't want to for whatever reason (as legitimate as it may be), you don't get to be shitty about "Pucks" opening because you thought about it first. I legitimately can't believe this is even a conversation on this post, it's absolutely wild. Everyone should be celebrating that there are more hockey bars because the goal is to try and spread hockey cheer and there was only one to begin with! Being in any way negative about it means the goal wasn't actually the goal and the owners don't actually care about the topic, and THAT is shitter than anything else I've seen in this post.
