For those who don’t know, Qantas once repaired a damaged aircraft that would’ve otherwise been a write-off for the sake of maintaining their perfect no hull-loss record.

You left out an ‘N.’ I’m gonna have to escort you out of the comment section.

Easier if you send it to me in writing so I can properly digest it instead of having it immediately spill out of my ears.

DOOM Dark Ages. I’m about halfway through.

“All code paid for by taxpayer dollars should be open source, available for comment, for feedback, for people to build on and for people in other agencies to replicate. It saves everyone money and it is our [taxpayers’] IP,” she said. “This is just good government and should absolutely be the standard that government technologists are held to.”"

Nice sentiment, but bad take. Open-sourcing the software that runs our military equipment would be a fantastic gift to the bad actors of the world.

Not a CEO, he’s the president of Panama.

Nothing could be worse than X Æ A-12.

Further clarification:

Clarification, he doesn’t own the restaurant, he just licenses his stage name to it.

Not having really researched the topic, I understand electric vehicles in general have more torque and power than ICE vehicles. Given that the major brands have made EV trucks that have very similar packaging to their ICE counterparts, the only holdback is the range and charging anxiety. For anyone not towing heavy loads long distances, an EV truck should be more than capable as a work truck, and in some ways even more capable (job site power) or preferable (maintenance cost reduction and fleet charging at the office) over their counterparts.

Edit: there is a second holdback of the “my truck absolutely needs to make smog and noise because I’m insecure about myself” crowd.

I’ve run into what might be a bug. There’s a post with an Imgur link and text that puts a thumbnail of the linked gif on the post page. The thumbnail displays correctly, but clicking the thumbnail takes me to a dead Imgur link in the media viewer. Clicking the Imgur link in the body text takes me to a live Imgur link with the original gif on a full Imgur post page within the custom tabs browser.

The only text on that page that states the origin of the dev’s code is Mazda’s claim that the relevant code is Mazda’s. If their claim is true, then it would seem to me the DMCA takedown is valid.

The reason the DMCA takedown notice is malicious is that code from Mazda’s official app is not required to develop a tool that works in a similar way. The API of the server is freely accessible and figuring out how to interact with it can be done completely without infringing on anyone’s copyright.

Okay, it doesn’t matter how it could have been done, it matters how it was done, and again, the only claim made on the page is that it was stolen code.

I’m all for actually owning what you buy and being able to integrate it with your other stuff however you please, but distributing someone else’s work is a valid claim for infringement. And as with any other cloud-based stuff, don’t expect it to work forever. Support and push for local device access without the need for cloud services.

TIL. So yeah, what remains of Abe is not very active at all, as far as what’s observable to the unaided eye. I’m sure there’s some trace amounts of radioactivity in the ashes and some molecular movement due to the fact he’s not stored at absolute zero.

Actively decomposing, unless he was cremated.

Any more info about the computer it came out of? Laptop or tower? Approximate age/brand/model? What kind of drives in it? 5.25"/3.5" floppy? Optical disk drives? SATA/PATA?

Initial thought is that the 6-pin end kinda looks like a vacuum tube socket, but I don’t know if FFC type cables were a thing in the tube era, and you’ve only told us “old,” not how old.

While it’s nice to finally have closure on this, it’s also depressing that they removed that.

Not just you. I feel like search modifiers like “NOT” or “OR” haven’t been working for a good long while either.

Brace yourself, because it’s going to get a lot worse.
