It'd be so funny to brick all Rabbit R1's

Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks ( apnews.com )

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information ( futurism.com )

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

I have a solution! It's called "getting rid of it" :D

I'm still waiting for more people to burn them.

Hello GPT-4o ( openai.com )

GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds,...

I love my Pebble! I still use my Pebble Time to this day.

Mine is still on my original battery. While it doesn't last 7 days anymore, it lasts long enough for me, and I'm okay with that.

dog_ ,

That sucks.

Who in their right mind would charge a subscription fee to download and/or update maps?

Edit: I only found out about this after my father downloaded the app on his phone, and it said he only has 5 downloads remaining before downloading the map for my state. It's extremely dumb for a "privacy focused maps app"

The UI is definitely confusing for OSMand

dog_ ,

But isn't it open sourced? Can't they have like a buymeacoffee? Not lock the most important feature behind a paywall?

dog_ ,

Not if you have an iphone.

dog_ ,

Ahh yes, let me install an Android PacKage on an iPhone

dog_ ,

That doesn't make it better.

dog_ ,

Because a subscription is definitely a viable alternative.

dog_ ,

You don't need to charge a subscription for offline maps. That defeats the whole purpose of offline maps.

Edit: I could understand if it was a one time purchase, but as it's a subscription, that's the dumbest thing I've seen for an "offline maps app"

dog_ ,

I didn't see that option when I looked.

Edit: I see it now, but I believe it's too expensive for an app that is supposed to give you directions.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week ( arstechnica.com )

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

I'd love to do this, but I don't get many channels where I live :(

Yet they don't sell in the USA, and they don't have a headphone jack. A company meant for repairability and reliability not having a headphone jack. That's like when framework removed it from the 16 inch laptop.

dog_ ,
  1. that is a solution to a problem nobody wanted.
  2. Technically 5 if you're using one of them for the headphone jack (which you wouldn't need if it was included on the device ready). Also the one with 4 already has a headphone jack included, so you'd still have 4 available ports.

And 3.

They're small and I could lose it and would have to spend even more money for a replacement.
