That's one way of viewing it i guess. My guess would have been that an organization like Mozilla has to make sure what the consequences are for not complying, and after they figured out there was no real danger they did the right thing.

It's easy to say they should always do the right thing, but they have to keep in mind their own safety, and that of their project too, it's not an easy thing to balance.

I would really love to hear your explanation why you thought the sky gave it away XD

That's like the most regular looking sky ever XD

Why don't you ask the experts that rather than a random lemming like me? And why don't you ask Elon why he keeps claiming it's capable of more than it actually is?

I honestly don't care enough about it to do research, but you seem to. And i'd just love for guys like Elon to stop lying about what they have.

"Their system is really good and years ahead of competition but there’s still a shit ton to improve"

Is it years ahead of the competition? I thought the consensus was that Tesla is far behind, hence why Mercedes is the first brand to actually have some basic level 3 automomus driving actually to customers, and companies other than tesla are actually doing tests with robo taxis. Tesla is good at claiming it can do the above, other companies are the ones actually doing it.

And indeed, there's a shit ton to improve, which directly contradicts statements Elon Musk made, and keeps making. As others already pointed out, calling it Full Self Driving while letting it do that is basically suicide is just the beginning. Elon Musk regularly repeating that it's there, it works etc... only to leave customers waiting for nearly 8 years now with a system that is not what Elon described, etc...

Self driving is really hard, Tesla made some good progress on it, but Elon continuously lying about it should indeed get legal consequences. I'm hope this lawsuit teaches him to actually talk about things he actually knows are true, and not just what he wishes was true.

What if you destroy the physical media so noone else can use it and then keep your digital copy in its place?

roflmao XD I'm sorry, but you trying to sound smart by saying how much energy a kg of U235 has, and then using the wrong unit (a unit of power, not of energy) is just the funniest thing ever XD.

And yeah, nuclear waste is kind of solvable, but it will be an issue for at least a thousand years to come, and that's a LONG time... I can get that environmentalists are like "yeah, this is just another way of shoving our current issues FAAAAR into the future". Even if we just bury it all in some safe space....

Yes, it can do that. Occasionally. And then it'll randomly fail in the stupidest ways.

And i've actually looked at some Tesla FSD reviews, and every review seems to be of a "2 steps forward, 2 steps back" kind. Look at all these things that improved, and then mentioning all the things that used to work that are now broken again. (of course with a lot more focus on the things that have improved, since hype pays).

I'm honestly wondering how self driving will evolve, it seems we've landed in the really hard last 10% of getting there, and it's mostly come to a stand still.

Just wondering, do you know that reading the article where it's all explained in detail is an option?

Before the change 3% of facebook users agreed to be tracked, after "pay or be tracked" suddenly that jumped to over 90%. The entire point of GDPR is that privacy is a really hard thing to grasp, and that companies have capabilities most people can't even imagine. So the GDPR demands consent to be given freely. Giving users the choice between yet another subscription or "consent" is clearly not free consent, your "free consent" doesn't jump from 3% to 90% if you're not basically coercing your users.

"yeah, but they have the option to pay". Yeah, and then i can start paying for google (each service seperately with complex bundles of course), and facebook, and reddit, and twitter and tiktok and .... and of course everyone has hundreds of dollars to spend on online services to continue using the internet the way we've been using it for a decade.

"yeah, but you could use other services", yeah, i could go to a facebook alternative where none of my friends or family are. Or a youtube alternative where hardly anyone posts videos or... These sites have gained a natural monopoly by being free, and now suddenly i have to pay to not have my rights violated.

And will this long term mean sites like facebook, youtube, ... become unprofitable and collapse? I for sure hope so yes. These companies gained a monopoly in big parts of the internet, and will make insane profits of being in that position either via ads or subscriptions. This is a terrible place for society to be in, and the sooner they collapse, the sooner we as society can start figuring out what would be a model that does work and isn't hostile to its user.

As someone else already posted, the 3GB was incorrect, it was a router reporting incorrect traffic.

But that doesn't seem to stop everyone here from continuing to post how the thing that didn't happen in the first place is ridiculous...

the basic goal of libreelec is to just run kodi and nothing else. So it's really good for a htpc, it's always running kodi :).

But since you can add docker to it, i'm also running it as a small server, using portainer to manage the containers, and it's doing great double duty :). If however you want a real desktop environment, this is not the solution for you :).

I've now got a 13th gen nuc as htpc using libreelec. There is an intel graphics driver issue with 4K HDR & 23.97fps playback (frequent audio dropouts...), but someone on the forum created a patch that does seem to work, and really happy with it so far. Also Libreelec allows you to install docker, so i can use the nuc (which is way overpowered for just htpc usage) also as a server :).

I do hate that the maintainers of libreelec are like 'yeah, it's an intel bug, so we won't put the workaround in our official release, nor do anything to make potential users aware of it while we can detect that they will probably need it"... Open source developers don't really like their users it seems....
