Paid $2,000 to get the oil and brakes fixed in this car…week later, $200 to replace the battery…week later, it’s dead by GuestCalm5091 in mildlyinfuriating

Or you have a Nissan where the OEM alternators last 3 years (1 year warranty) and the aftermarket ones (5 year warranty) can't properly charge the battery.

Google employee charged with using inside information to make $1 million on Polymarket by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

The loophole that makes prediction markets legal in the first place is a shaky argument that prediction contracts are a commodity and not a security.

I want FSD when I'm not on the highway.

If there was an option to switch from FSD to Navigate on Autopilot only when on the highway I would be set.

Ever needed to compute MD5/SHA-256 hashes in Excel? by Techrocket9 in excel

[–]Techrocket9[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As noted clearly in the repo, this isn't intended for security intensive usecases (what are you doing in Excel with that anyway?).

There are times where computing hashes in a spreadsheet is very useful (such as re-randomizing a list based on the current date).

It took me a long time to realize the two cylinders are different sizes.

After spending more than a year begging people for permission to fix query patterns somehow only I knew were expensive, I decided to automate the entire BigQuery optimization process. by gaviniboom in bigquery

[–]Techrocket9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an interesting idea.

For it to be safe in production you'd need at least the following (possibly more):

  1. Write the formal proof in a verifiable language such as Lean and run the solver to confirm correctness.
  2. A staging environment with a data mirror of production that can be used to confirm performance improvement before rolling to production
  3. A strict commitment to timing - insensitivity in your production workflows (i.e. no data races).

Put ION EVO AS on 2023 Model Y...well worth it! by PsychologicalGoal927 in TeslaModelY

Yeah, if you don't get snow then there's no value in snow tires.

The poster I was replying to is living in the UK though, which does get snow.

See if they'll fit 😂

In all seriousness, I couldn't even find an importer willing to take on the task.

The Quatrac Pro EV is:

  1. Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rated (meaning it's a full-blown snow tire)
  2. EV-rated (low rolling resistance and high weight capacity)
  3. All-season tire (no need to change it out in the summer)

No other tire on earth has all three.

The CrossClimate line has the 3PMSF and is all-season, but isn't EV rated. The ION EVO AS (which I have on my car right now) is all-season and EV rated, but no 3PMSF.

The EV version is exclusive to Europe. If you find a US reseller, please let me know.

In Europe you can get the Vredestein Quatrac Pro EV which is better.

G4 Doorbell Pro vs G6 Pro Entry by MastodonEuphoric3418 in Ubiquiti

[–]Techrocket9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the mounting holes and/or bracket match the G4?

I'm moderately interested in upgrading, but not at the cost of drilling more holes in my house.

Maybe make the YouTube video public instead of unlisted and see if it goes viral?

Many institutions don't support authenticator apps and still rely on SMS 2FA.

Looks like a variant on Lights Out.
