I’ve been wondering why Tesla (or others) doesn’t set up a system where drivers opt-in (no opt-in by default) to sending anonymized driving data to help train the model.

That’s exactly how they train the model, but every Tesla is opted in with, to my knowledge, no option to opt out.

I have seen some surprisingly uninformed users on the Internet, but you’re definitely up amongst the worst of them.

You know you’re on the Internet, right? You can use it to learn things instead of uncritically repeating whatever your favorite talking heads said.

We bought a used one and just use a little Android Auto server we built for online services. It’s a little extra work but works great, giving me more control and options. No money to Musk that way. He does get our driving data, but we can pull the SIM card out of the car if we want to stop that.

I’m really sick of the whole “criticism of Israel is antisemitism” rhetoric.

It’s just playing dirty. Israel, much like modern conservative politicians, doesn’t care about how it achieves its goals. World War II has much of the western world hypersensitive to antisemitism, so conflating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism has been an easy way to stifle discourse.

He truly is an idiot. I wish he’d just step down from Tesla. The company has some great ideas, but instead of making them better, he’s making everything worse.

Edit: some of the newer cars are being reequipped with radar but it’s not being actively utilized because of idiocy.

I’ve also had mixed results. My 2018 Prius is flawless, not a single false brake in nearly seven years. We recently purchased a Tesla (I know, I know, long story) and we had to turn the braking sensitivity so far down that the feature is now basically useless.

It’s actually Steve Huffman, AKA “Spez”, and the website Reddit.com.

I do love that so many people on the internet know exactly who you’re talking about when you say “greedy little pig boy”.

I would argue the United States also carries the blame as they’ve supported Israel’s genocide, but that’s secondary to the primary point, on which you and I agree.

I use Arch, how about you?

I was going to respond to your original response, then I saw this thread and saw what a waste of time that would be. Man, what an embarrassment of a human being you are.

Edit: ooof, that comment history would get you an easy win on basement dwelling incel bingo. You even whine about DEI! How original LOL

Hi, I’m disabled although I’m still working (at the moment, may break further). I agree with you.

The biggest issue to consider for any company hiring a significantly disabled person, whether mentally, physically, or both, is they’ll be less productive and may require much more oversight, meaning they contribute less to the company. This is the justification behind the lower pay. It makes sense if you’re a shit sack capitalist that values production above anything else.

With that being said, Goodwill is absolutely taking advantage of the disabled. They’re ostensibly a non-profit charity that exists to provide employment, leading to training and work experience, to the disabled community. They pay their disabled employees the lowest amount possible, actively working to justify low pay. Imagine if your employer was constantly looking to drop your salary so you had to constantly fight them over it. Now pretend you have a significant TBI or are developmentally disabled (just imagine your mental capacity while drunk, but without the feeling good) and still having to fight that. Welcome working for Goodwill.

Fuck Goodwill right in their “charity” hole.

It’s just toxic masculinity. Men aren’t inherently dumb, but toxic male culture is dumb.

Sorry, late night me brain forgot to provide the context for my comment! My concern would be occupational usage if it does produce any ozone, especially in the small business sector, which often doesn’t use as much caution around chemical exposure as one might want.

It might also be a non-issue. I have half a mind to build one of these and do some testing.

Chronic ozone exposure is a big deal.

Ozone reacts with various molecules in the lung to produce free radicals, highly reactive species of atoms/molecules that cause tissue damage.

On the bright side, you’re right about being able to smell it. The permissible exposure limit in the United States is 0.1 ppm (over eight hours) but the concentration most people can detect ranges from 0.01-0.05 ppm.

I had the same experience! It HAD to have been astroturfing. The reviews were simply glowing but it’s honestly one of the worst books I’ve ever read. It’s not even so bad it’s good, it’s just page upon page of cringe cliche.

I became curious if you had been in Vegas when you mentioned billboards with lawyers. That’s a Las Vegas peculiarity (although it may be a peculiarity elsewhere). Where I live in the States has no billboards and it’s great.

If you’re extra lucky, it’ll still be running on the original included demo toner cartridge.
