It's no longer an edge case if faulty self driving becomes the norm.

Want to kill someone in a Tesla? Find a convenient spot and paint a wall there.

Doesn't even have to be an artificial wall, for example take a bend on a mountain road and paint the rock.

I also just got a warning, lol. Fuck them, I really need to come here more often :-/

Gravitated back to Reddit due to lacking content unfortunately..

We're talking about losing weight, not bulking up!

It's even worse than that:

21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024. 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level).

So 1/5 can't read at all, and over HALF can't read better than an 11 year old.

Windows 11, but I already tested out every combination of settings. Windows settings and BIOS CPU settings. Most high performance settings make things just a tiny bit faster, while the laptop blasts the fan at full speed (the fan sucks too, it's too loud for what it does).

The cooling just sucks, the CPU boosts and then runs straight into thermal throttling and has to cut back. It has been like this since day 1, maybe it got worse in the past 2 years, but it was never good in the first place. Colleagues with the same model had plenty of issues too (and the lead sent it back to the IT department and demanded one model higher up with a beefier CPU, but he's also not happy with it).

It's a 3 year lease, the laptop will be gone in a year and then hopefully I can choose my next one. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like Dell is currently offering models with AMD CPUs..

Dude, I'm not opening up my work laptop. It's going to be replaced in a year anyway.

The thing has been a piece of shit when it was brand new, it's not the paste.

Ah, T15 Gen1 with 48 GB RAM. The Intel CPU throttles hard unfortunately, I'd much rather switch to AMD (or a desktop..).

Fortunately the company has so many issues with Lenovo, they are switching to Dell now.

The old part really does a lot of work here. New ThinkPads are utter trash :-/

I got excited to get one for work (having heard about the old ones) and was sorely disappointed. It thermal throttles if you look at it wrong, it keeps having BIOS issues with Lenovo being no help and the USB-C display connection (To a Lenovo monitor with their inbuilt docking station!) is iffy.

Trump literally said Israel should finish the job. You're getting both genocides and probably a few on top!

Mate, we are talking about a societal collapse. You won't have oil available and you won't be able to refine your own diesel at home (especially without energy).

Your argument about solar panels being difficult to produce is utterly out of place. Your diesel generator and your car are more difficult to produce, but you already own them from before the downfall. So if you own an EV and you own solar panels then it doesn't matter how difficult those are to produce when you're just using them.

Lol, Diesel can on average only be stored for 6 to 12 months before degrading. Good luck with that.

If a collapse ever happens I'd rather have solar panels and an EV. Fuel production and transport would instantly grind to a halt and the existing fuel goes bad soon after.
