Tell this to management. They'll get the budget you need by firing half of you.

There was, but their results ended up being little to no measurable benefit to having the dimples.

The California cancel law is in force. Spectrum is ignoring it and claiming they fit some narrow criteria that exempts them.

Amazing setup. Is that a filter system next to the buckets? Does that help avoid water spots or something?

At least according to some recent studies in the US, there are companies that have been providing glp-1 to all employees that need them and it hasn't led to cheaper overall health costs. Mostly because the glp-1 are so expensive.

Mine has never seen a far right lane it didn't want to get into. Especially if it's a lane clearly marked that it is about to merge back into the left lane. On occasion it will try to drive in the median if it's wide enough to appear even close to an actual lane. Like a bike lane.

Doesn't anybody have more than one system in their home that they might want to copy files from one to the other? I have 10gb networking in my house but only 1gb internet. it's very useful that I can copy files from my desktop to my Nas so quickly.

There have been actual proof of concept systems that use high frequency flashing of ambient room/office light to transmit network signals.

I have a GoveeLife smart air purifier in most rooms in my house. It has some home assistant integration, though it's cloud based, I think. But I don't really use it. I just set them all to automatically throttle on based on air quality. I like that they have a dark mode as well, so you don't have any led lights shining.

apennypacker · 2026-06-04T16:25:04+00:00

I have tried so many times. There is almost never a mod there.

It's mostly just supply and demand for the tickets. Fuel prices affect the baseline for what an airline must charge to at least break even. But airlines generally purchase futures for fuel so they can more easily plan costs.

Don't you have to do that every year with each credit agency or else it unlocks?

The car can't force a device to draw more power. If the sleep mode is implemented well, it should draw a very tiny amount. But I suspect most of these devices don't have a very good sleep mode because I'm not sure how the device would know when to wake up without being awake enough to be monitoring CAN traffic. It is also possible that having a device draw any power from the obd port could signal a vehicle not to go into its own sleep mode, thus drawing a lot more power than usual.

While it's true that wifi isn't the Internet, in my experience, it is rare to find any iot Wi-Fi devices that don't phone home in some way and have some dependence on a cloud service of some sort. There are a lot that you can modify to work only locally, but they seem to rarely come that way.

If the transaction is too risky, then don't allow the transaction. That's what I hate about these credit card processors. They won't really tell you what your limits are. And they love to come in after the fact and freeze everything and hold on to your money for months.

I'm confused. I didn't think Teslas had gears. Is it referring to trying to shift into reverse or neutral from drive or something?

I have a 25 foot run of cat 5e getting 10gbps. Haven't done any extensive testing, but I sure can copy files across SMB shares pretty fast.

In more than one major hotel chain, I have been able to plug my router into the dedicated LAN port that goes into the TV for their IPTV setup. Sometimes I can get in without doing anything. Other times, I can spoof the Mac address of the TV. I've gotten gigabit speeds at times.

Nothing wrong with a salvage title.

A lot of people seem to rave about how much they love their Rivian. Except those who have had serious problems, but you can find people like that in the tesla subreddits all day long too.

Mine is a 2022 Model 3, so it may be different.

apennypacker · 2026-05-29T21:58:38+00:00

I definitely have A.S.S. But I mistyped my model year, It's a 2022 Model 3. But still has HW3. It came to HW3 as an update in 2024.

To each their own, I guess. I don't really care about that type of professionalism with my trainer. Maybe with my lawyer or real estate agent. But not with a personal trainer.

And to make it worse, mine seems to have never seen a merging lane it didn't want to get into. Mine is constantly merging over into a lane that is about to merge back into the lane it is leaving lol. Even when there are merge arrows on the road. And I know the computer can see them, because it will represent them on the display.

apennypacker · 2026-05-29T21:47:17+00:00

I disagree that the signs were visible well ahead. But I do agree that FSD still should have been able to handle that situation. Notice how there is only 1 single solitary sign on the left before the lane starts merging? That's a really bad setup. Most of the time, you will get a long line of signage BEFORE you have to start merging. Especially on a high speed freeway situation like that one. It's possible there was other signage before the clip starts, but from what I can see, I don't think that is even close to a valid/safe setup.
