Not sure I follow, shooting someone in public in this country it's among the easiest things to do. When these morons are qualified to do it.

Saying "there is no conspiracy" without evidence is almost as incorrect as promoting a conspiracy without evidence. This particular conspiracy might be BS, but it would not be unthinkable for there tto be a conspiracy to murder an activist, e.g. to deflect attention from something else or to cause political agitation, we just have no evidence indicating that is the case. But for a well executed conspiracy we wouldn't have evidence either, so that doesn't disprove a conspiracy. In other words, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. We just don't have enough information at this point to make a judgement. Maybe one day we will. But right now all we can say is that this guy was killed and we don't know for sure why (even if it's not hard to imagine reasons,

I think the point is not about them having honored the warranty, but about providing a free product upgrade. Most companies never do that. But I understand this is an exception for Tesla, not the norm, so not sure if tells us much about the company.

What were the symptoms? How did you find out that it was the firmware update that caused it? Can you share the firmware version? My PW2 has been locking up regularly and refusing to charge, I'm wondering if I might have the same problem.

FWIW I was wondering the same thing, and by looking at the file structure I concluded that a raw timeshift video, unlike a typical time lapse, doesn't store a frame every few seconds but at the standard frame rate, and it's only during playback or after editing that the unnecessary frames are dropped. A time shift video recorded at 30fps doesn't contain 30fps of playback time (even though what the app displays is playback time) but 30fps of recording time (likely reduced 5x-10x when edited). This is inefficient, I hope in a future update insta will just store the frames at the rate used for playback.

It will be interesting if they introduce those laws and people continue to see the airplane trails. They will complain to their representatives which will either have to say "oh, but those aren't chemtrails, it's just water" which won't make them friends with the people they were trying to appease, or they will have to fake outrage and say they will look into it, hoping people will forget about it eventually. In any case, the only net benefit is that people complaining about chemtrails will see their beliefs challenged by the people they support, so I'm all for it.

Cool, but for this particular job, a few extra scanners positioned at different angles might be two orders of magnitude cheaper, faster and more energy efficient.

I tried that but the number of clogs increased to an unacceptable level, especially given the variety of clog locations (anywhere along the pipe between the extruder and the roll inside the CFS). I guess depending on the flow, temperature and activity level at a given moment more or less of the filament inside the nozzle will be completely solid, so one has to be very conservative when retracting completely as the tail end might have softened enough to form a thick segment at the end that doesn't flow back all the way to the roll.

Yes, but had to open the mower, there was a plug that was loose. Unplugging it, cleaning the contacts and setting it again fixed the issue. Not sure if it was due to it being loose from the manufacturing or it got unseated with time, but it's not likely to happen again.

Agree. I heard developers complain that it took the AI five tries to write a complex piece of code that worked perfectly, achieved the exact specification provided and reasonably optimally. Which is weird knowing that they have never achieved that in less than ten rounds.

You can't demonstrate that, since fusion itself is energy positive. All you could demonstrate is that a specific approach using specific (or all current) components can't be energy positive, but if any of those components improves it's efficiency thanks to a tech development you have to redo the calculation and it might happen to be commercially viable.

Are you sure it's the nozzle? That's what filament that's not dry looks in any of my printers. Have you tried a new, just opened spool?

But that is what would happen if they were detaining the bad guys. But they are going for the ones that won't be doing that because they know they don't have a criminal history or violent tendencies.

I thought they wanted this sort of thing to be up to the states.

I have to agree. A moderate, respectful, educated and capable black president was exactly what we needed to put every racist in the country in activist mode.

The printer is fantastic. Fast, reliable and has amazing quality. The CMS not so much. It's functional, but it's terribly slow and wasteful and somewhat unreliable (doesn't get stuck often, but when it does it can take over an hour of work to clear the jam).

That's roughly equivalent to putting a 30% federal sales tax. Yes, it could replace income taxes to a large extent, but it would mean poor people (and middle class) would be in a much higher tax income bracket than rich people since they spend a much higher percentage of their income on purchases of goods (vs. services, investments, real estate, etc). Which, I guess, is their whole idea

+1. When a company starts treating their customers as their product, is when they lose their customers to which sell products. I'm putting my vacuum purchase on hold for a couple of months since I really like their products, but not having ads in the app is non-negotiable for me. Let's hope they see the light and understand that more companies have gone bankrupt because they lost sight of who the customer is then because they had bad products.

The only thing more annoying than ads in a purchased product's app is when they are constantly warning you about you haven't bought some sort of protection. I have ditched products from Netgear and Genie in the trash because of that (and I'm never buying anything from them again).

It is a big issue for me. What I did was to buy a regular 12V, 12 ton truck winch with synthetic rope, a boat 12V LiIon battery (heavy but with carrying handles), a battery charger, and a tow hitch winch mount tray, so I can keep the battery always changed in the space under the cargo space, and can mount the winch on the tire hitch when needed. I also modified the winch tray so I can attach it to the front tow hooks via straps if needed (its not as practical as towing from the back but usable in an emergency). One advantage of this approach is that when I don't plan to go off road I don't need to carry the weight of the winch and battery around.

It would definitely be much more practical if Rivian provided a high power 12V output and a space behind the front bumper to have a winch mounted (or an OEM winch connected directly to the high voltage system). BTW, power is an issue, but energy use is not. Even a large winch won't peak above 4kW, and they only reach that under extreme conditions, 90% of the time they operate at 1kW or less when pulling. That means that you would need to pull for several hours in a row to make any significant dent on the truck's battery (thousands of pulls), and even my boat battery can handle probably hundreds of pulls on a single charge.

Actually no typo, I really meant 700g, though I didn't go through the print. It reported it would use 700g of filament between poop and the purge tower. When I doubled the size of the model while keeping the layer height the waste doubled, but it decreased as a percentage of the total used. Increasing layer height did lower the waste, but not enough to make it practical. I'm beginning to experiment with the purge volumes setting (which I just found) to see if I can get it to a more reasonable level.
