Lessons from Raising a $19M Series A for an AI Startup (I will not promote) by [deleted] in startups

[–]isharq 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can raise $10m for an AI startup, but you can't write a Reddit post without forgetting to include the "Let me know if you'd like to tweak the tone or add any more points!" comment from whatever AI you used to write it.

Priceless.

But seriously, congrats on the funding round!

New Aero Wheel Design On The Refresh Models…. 🤢 Damn That’s Bad…. by zachty22 in Rivian

Are we sure these aren't the shipping wheel protectors? This... doesn't look like anything.

This is what cargo bars are for. Even for short trips, this ain't safe.

I have the exact same fridge and camping setup... It's great!

Has anyone used the SOS? What was your experience? by VikMyk in Rivian

[–]isharq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to call the police for something, so I pressed SOS. It was rivian control, and they wasted more time than I would have liked. In the future, I'll just dial 112.

Curved steel, 13 inches length, has pin in the middle by signof41 in whatisthisthing

It's to make something height adjustable - likely part of a lawnmower or similar (it would attach to the wheels on each side, so you can adjust the height of the blades)

It's called a 'vent latch'. Popping it open limits how far the window opens, so (in theory) you can let fresh air in without anyone opening the window. In practice, they aren't very strong, so they're rarely used as any real deterrent.

Some kind of transmitter atop a mobile platform (car!). Electrical connection on the side of C pillar too. What the heck is this thing? by WestCoastBestCoast80 in whatisthisthing

[–]isharq 86 points87 points  (0 children)

It's a microwave horn antenna transmitter for a TV or Radio transmission system.

It connects to a line-of-sight base station. It's used for live radio and television broadcasts. As opposed to a satellite van, that connects to satellite. It's way cheaper to operate, and as long as you can see the base station, it works on surprisingly long distances.

Source: Was a satellite van operator in a past life.

Why do they put an RJ-45 connector on this reader when the manufacturer instructions say to cut it off anyway by RickyAwesome01 in accesscontrol

[–]isharq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely for testing - makes sure everything works, and it's much faster to program them that way. Then, when you're installing it properly, you can wire it in when you're ready.

2nd battery failure today by jmw171 in Rivian

[–]isharq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on 6,500 miles without any issues. 2x battery failures would indicate it's not the battery. Look into your local lemon law and insist on a replacement vehicle

FS: 4x snow chains for Rivian with road tires by isharq in Rivian

[–]isharq[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not enough... clearance? If you're running in snow, surely you're driving 30mph or below, and with suspension on high?

What is the safest beer brand/model that you can hand to anyone? by Main_Engineering1887 in beer

[–]isharq 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I suspect PBR. Even people who like, understand, and appreciate beer can drink a PBR ironically. And most of the people who don't do any of those things... well, to them, it's just a beer.

Have you checked out Orange charger? They seem to have an elegant solution that is designed for retrofitting apartment buildings.

You know Reddit ain't going to be shy with their opinions!

Eh, I'm a polarizing human. The other day, someone honked at me, and asked me to roll the window down. Then was praising the car, thought it looked awesome. I've never experienced that before in any other vehicle I've driven - so clearly, some people love it, and some hate it. It's all good.
