You get the absolute bare minimum required by your state, it basically just covers the other driver you hit. It's pretty awful since if you are badly injured beyond what their underinsured driver's coverage is for, you're lik

I just sorted through like 15 years of accumulated cables. I kept any that I knew I'd need for projects or things I knew I had a use for. Everything else got slimmed down to a maximum of two of each type and general length and only if

It sounds like this woman just wasn't aware of the control he had over the car until the parental control message popped up sometime in the 12 day span. Since the article doesn't mention anything after those dates, she was likely

Sometimes you do get stuck on these weird tangents that feel like bike shedding. You end up wasting tokens because you left the AI to make decisions on ambiguous directions and then have to spend time diving down to fix it into what you act

The USB and handheld ones are great and can be had for less than $100. The Hanteks can be interfaced with open source software which is great since you get a ton of features that normally wouldn't be included in budget models (like wir

Unless you're actually designing new circuits versus just connecting modules together, you probably don't need an oscilloscope. Maybe if you're debugging some faulty module but you're more likely to just buy a new one. A

I feel as if this was intentional, someone would have set up their own service for the agents to communicate rather than them finding some random publicly writeable page somewhere that would easily be detected. The awareness of this wiki be

The left is more inclined to accept voter ID laws if the ID can be provided to people for no cost (otherwise it's a poll tax) and assistance is provided for any citizens that don't have a complete collection of the necessary docum

Sure, classroom sizes can be a detriment to those that require more hands on instruction time. But that's not everyone and not every school suffers from overcrowding.

LLMs greatly remove the social aspect of the teacher-student relationship. They are probably fine for tutoring and replacing things like Khan Academy but they are no substitute for a human teacher.

Most of these companies were probably a couple of guys in a garage or rented office suite. Labs buy high tech, low volume items and don't mind if it looks like a science fair experiment either. For every IBM supercomputer with some pri

I realized this the other day: it's funny that back in those days, you didn't have two computers (or teletypes) close enough together for them to talk to one another just through serial data. Why would two teletypes need to be in

I miss my old Google Music premium account. Those song radio stations had amazing variety. It's incredibly obvious that Spotify plays what you like unless you go out of your way to listen to something new or a new releases playlist but

That's not really how local naming works. I call Germany Germany but the Germans call it Deutschland. There's not two Germany's, there's just one and I have a different name for it. It really doesn't matter if a geo

It's sounds like it was detected only after Flock turned on their AI auditor. Kinda concerning no one was looking at the data previously. Unless the target is the most slippery criminal mastermind and is evading police several times a

Big companies regularly rip off small creators. Even if the copyright theft is incredibly obvious, a big company has the funds to drag out the legal proceedings for years. Do you have that kind of money?

It's not automatic, you still need to apply and USCIS still has arbitrary discretion. The I-485 can take several months and that's assuming your paperwork is perfect and the agent likes you.

Intel did release a few generations of their Xeons with an Arria built in but it's been a couple years since the last release. It's a cool idea but I think all the money dried up quick once the AI boom started. Plus they spun off

If you are on Android, you can use Revanced Manager or Morphe to patch the YouTube apk with all kinds of controls that include the ability to hide shorts and the comments section. Ad blocking works well too but using those patches requires

I'd prefer facebook to not give away free drugs to the drug addicts. Social media is one of the most insidious addictions, it doesn't cost money and your physical health is largely unimpacted. The real impact is on society and the

There isn't some magical switch that's flipped on your 18th birthday where you suddenly be pragmatic and make rational decisions. Even into your 20s, your brain is still developing. My mother is in her 60s and addicted to facebook

Simple but less culturally sensitive solution: English is the linga franca so tell them to either romanize their company name or come up with a brand name using latin characters. 삼성전자 can be written as Samseong jeonja in latin characters an

I don't. I have no interest in trying to assign a value to something that's built-in and not meant to be written to. Like who fucking cares that the boolean constants are actually weird little structure that sometimes let you mess

The expensive ones do so you get more of an OEM infotainment experience. I guess you could potentially cause a crash over the CAN bus but there's a very small overlap between cars that allow you to swap out headunits and cars that can

A lot of older cars didn't turn off their OBD port, have their headunits go into standby, or even turn off the cigarette lighter port. Early OBD ports connected to dealer computers for a few minutes, not an always on dongle. Plain head
