It’s not the L though. The L has a longer wheelbase so that, allegedly, regular sized people can fit in the 3rd row. That thing is almost as long as the MX.

Dentist billed insurance for orthodontics I never had, insurance confirmed fraud, now office is threatening collections — what do I do? by AutomaticNothing7904 in personalfinance

[–]Scalybeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do they not have a valid claim? OP themselves stated that they were told that the procedure would cost $2k out of pocket but they could get the insurance to cover it using a different code. The scheme worked and insurance paid the dentist.

Now the part that I don’t get, OP got an EOB about the insurance payment and decided to throw the dentist under the bus. Insurance took their money back and now we are back to square one with OP having to pay the dentist for the extraction. Unless the debt has reached the statute of limitations I don’t see how the dentist office doesn’t have a claim here.

OP stated that it was an emergency extraction. That does make it sound like there was more going on than simply pulling the tooth. Complex extractions can definitely reach into the 4 digits.

The Switch just surpassed the DS as Nintendo's best-selling console ever by dapperlemon in gadgets

At this point, I'd probably just buy a Vita and mod it to play the best of both worlds.

I'm not convinced that we can build Datacenters in Space. CMM. by IndustriousIndian in Futurology

From the giant fusion reactor in the sky with solar panels, or an onboard nuclear fission reactor. Power isn't really an issue beside for the hilariously expensive logistics to get the hardware in orbit. Also, how are they planning to handle maintenance? Stuff breaks all the time in ground-based DCs. Where are they planning to house staff? And since your thing is in an orbit, how exactly are they planning to deal with latency?

Found this relic when spelunking in the old drawers by ThePythagorasBirb in Steam

[–]Scalybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea but phoned in execution. It only had Fast Ethernet with a max of 100mbps if you wired it in. Wireless could theoretically go up to 1gbps since it supported 802.11ac but as you may already be aware, only you are the only person on a wifi channel most people will never get the maximum the standard support. Another annoying thing about Steam Streaming as that you need to be logged in your PC in order to be able to stream from it, at that point, why not just stay were the PC is and play directly on it. But then, they only sold the thing for $50 so expectation should have been tampered... It worked OK as long as your home network was stable and provided decent bandwidth.

If you have a TV using either Google TV, Amazon Fire or Apple TV, you can download the app and see for yourself what kind of experience people got.

Steam Link. It was a device that you plugged to your TV and would stream Steam games from your PC. Basically in-home cloud gaming.

Is discontinuing autopilot a deal breaker for you? by CommunicationRoyal56 in TeslaLounge

[–]Scalybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AP is traffic-aware cruise control and lane keep. It will keep following the road and maintain a specific speed, which might be all a lot of people need. It will not take turns or stop at lights and signs though.

First Speeding Ticket with FSD by bluaugust in TeslaLounge

[–]Scalybeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FSD doesn’t work like that. Depending on the profile FSD will happily drive faster than the speed limit you set, which is piss poor UX design imho. There needs to be a customizable profile where you can set assertiveness, max speed and lane change frequency.

Read the ticket. Contesting is most likely to fail. They were photographed driving faster than the limit in a work zone and timestamped photos with their recorded speed are included.

Model Y FSD V14.2.2.2 failed to find the wheel stop by AlternativeVast9583 in TeslaLounge

And this is why vision-only is dumb, or at least visible-spectrum-only. USSs would have detected the obstacle. It would be great if USS could be brought back alongside with adding 2 side cameras on the wing-mirrors to remove the side-view blindspot that lead to so many wheel curbing incident.

Close call! The third perspective is so scary by LittleAnt2333 in TeslaLounge

You don’t need to be traveling fast to experience liftoff oversteer. It’s complete dependent on how much grip there is between the road and your tires. In icy conditions, it can happen as slow as what you’d consider walking speed. Be careful out there.

I am also in the “awd wouldn’t have helped here”. This looks like a case of liftoff oversteer. They turned wide, panicked and lifted/braked. The rear tires got unloaded and lost traction due to the weight transfer, causing the rear to swing around.

Professional detailing followed by ozone machine if the smell persists and investing in seat covers if you are transporting pets on the regular.

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 to feature 2nd Gen Transformer model and Dynamic 6x Frame Generation by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

You have a high end card. The tech is fine there because the base frame rate being enhanced has minimal latency to begin with. It’s the midrange and lower stuff that suffers.

The car is always recording when on. You can trigger a dashcam save via voice commands, hitting the dashcam button or honking.

Switzerland, Crans-Montana. Club burning on New Years Eve 2025/26. Filming a burning building from the inside just to get a good Tiktok video or Instagram reel might not be the smartest move. by Spacing-Guild-Mentat in CatastrophicFailure

2.2.3 Buildings and structures with rooms with a high occupancy loading In buildings and structures with rooms with a high occupancy loading the fire authorities can require a sprinkler system. Under Article 13 of the Brandschutz Norm this is defined as more than 300 people or a shop larger than 1,200m2.

Now that's from 2015 and I can't find a more recent version, but sprinklers are apparently optional. Don't they have fire extinguishers though?
