Oh my god. Absolute dumbasses at the record companies actively trying to act evil. Barely anybody will stream these and it sure isn’t so malicious of the ‘store’ selling these records is doing it for free.

I mean how many people are actually going to buy these ever again? Also their damage claims are per usual pulled from the oceangate depths of their ass.

If anyone remembers when torrenting was big and the riaa was essentially claiming something like 20%+ of the US economy’s value in lost profits. These people don’t munch on crayons, but they really should start because it would be a more intelligent hobby to take up.

Yeah they do. The device current issue is one of time. If they coded it properly they could keep the pi asleep at almost all times, but seeing as they used one in the first place I have my doubts.

Essentially it would make the scooter drain from just sitting vs being able to sit for weeks until a rider hops on.

Freeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddoooooooooooommmm

This is such a terrible application. These things would drain their battery just running the pi and electronics. Why such a high power platform for such basic functionality?

This screams of free money flooding startups. Amateur hour.

Honestly despite getting somewhat worse in the newer models I still find them head and shoulders above most other laptops in durability and keyboard feel.

Excited for the new 16:10 ones. Not that I’ll buy them new. Off business lease on eBay or bust!

Yup. This seems like playing with fire to me.

Although I suspect that in Wi-Fi frequency bands it would be harder to get caught. You mostly would just be messing up everyone else’s Wi-Fi in that area.

Looking forward to it!

Really want to pick up some hobby welding myself, you can make so much useful stuff haha.

This is actually awesome to see. Sadly the main thing holding Linux back is still just momentum. And for a lot of people MS word. Even if the free suites are pretty good nowadays.

That’s one heck of an interesting statement from the police chief. Odd how prevalent this is across the world…

People often forget what the medical research and medical authorities say are not always the same.

See heart disease for another one of these fun ones.

I suggest you read the research papers on Lyme and form your own decision too. The CDC is hardly comprehensive.

Like the fact that the infection can actually remain dormant and undetectable in people for long periods of time.

I’m also pretty sure the estimates on number of people who get Lyme per year vary wildly depending on who you want to believe.

Actually here is the cdc saying 476k

https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/humancases.html#:~:text=Q%3A%20CDC%20also%20states%20that,is%20this%20number%20so%20different%3F

Anyways. Lyme is a tricky one because not everyone has a reaction and it’s impossible to say how many people are carrying it dormant.

He is spot on.

Algorithms and AI aren’t even any different. AI is literally a complex system of nonlinear functions. It’s not black magic.

If I wrote a traditional nonlinear alto with computer optimized parameters it only differs from ML models in that it’s less complex. Not understanding your product is not a defense.
