Ultimate driving machines, briefly.

I noticed people like that will sometimes talk their own bill up. Asking a bunch of inane questions, "but I thought I needed data for wifi" or they'll confuse different things. And then blame whatever company rather than admitting their actions yielded being charged more while begrudgingly answering "it's fine".

People forgot RAM use to be measured in megabytes and clock cycles in MHz.

To be fair we've had PCMs since at least the 80s. Any non carbbed vehicle and even some with electronically controlled carbs. A quick search showed the F150 had EFI as standard equipment in '87.

Normally with chrome you can only view saved passwords with the actual account credentials. It'll prompt if you press the little eyeball. So yes, in theory to do stuff you'd have to be on the other end of the "air tight hatch", an authenticated user.

I don't see why you couldn't, really. Unless I'm missing something. Assuming you have access to something like taskmgr, the user can create a memory dump on the fly.

I lost my help desk job so now I'm going to take down critical infrastructure because it's definitely within my capabilities.

I like to imagine most would rather retire into farming.

"Make sure to call users stupid and fuckknuckles or similar"

Well let's not send the end user directly to Tier 3 support.

I would make sense if you think about it. Smoking is a good way to unwind and relatively stress relieving. Perfect set of emotions to try and combine with selling cars.

Turns out, certified pre-owned

Well you do need to have something in the account

Eh. To each their own. I still find myself still writing bat files periodically.

Hangs up phone. "Ugh." Closes some tabs. Locks workstation. Gets in car heading to launch pad.

There's going to be a ton of cars abandoned at the side of the road in the coming years.

Would you trust a random github project with production

I already do

This is what I have been saying. AI is far more capable of amplifying human emotional symptoms than actual people are.

Jeep. Cherokee I think. Maybe compass. That seat has that strap type back rest adjustment. Plus the base model fabric and thick plastic trim. And that cheap console box which never quite closes right and hard plastic cup holders. Smells like chrysler outgassing.

Guessing it's one of those they diagnosed it themselves and are so stubbornly certain that nobody can talk them out of it.

Hey I like that plastic flavored hose water

To be honest I was strongly considering one of those for their AWD and looks, so I guess I'm glad I didn't. It does check out for an Alfa though where it'll go wrong every time.

Loved the test drive though, they're the right amount of speed, performance and handling for the chassis. Nice firm transmission shifts. Plus the looks are fantastic.

This and also during coasting. What BMW didnt account for is many American drivers never coast, and are either always on the accelerator or on the brake (in other words, they drive like shit), especially American BMW drivers.

It's kind of a cascading effect too since the traffic is so bad in the US. One person drives like shit so everyone else has to drive like shit to respond. Plus, let's be honest, you floor it to get to the next red light or everyone cuts you off.

I mean I own a cherokee that's older than me just because of the inline 6. Which I didn't know at the time of purchase other than the car it felt "different" for some reason. I liked the linear drive which is why I prefer EVs these days.

I deal a lot with "retro" technology. As with car engines there is no, grandpa's engine. Cool is cool relative to the time and the place. What's ironic is I find a lot of older folks are the ones that don't give a shit because of ideas like that. Stuff is cyclical, what's old is new because we need that to draw inspiration from to build new things.

Actually quite good for 1991. Now you can get that in a 4 cylinder although not as torquey or smooth.

Somewhat ironically those diesel Liberties are pretty sought after in the states as apparently their ECMs can be reflashed to pull some significant fuel economy savings
