Is it that bad? I have Blender connected to Claude (and my mind is quite blown by how great it is to use) and it was quite easy if you could follow the tutorial (the hardest part was reading that you have to click on something twice)

Yeah. I never get any AfD videos on my youtube feed (living in germany). I guess Meta isnt pushing right wing narratives then. Phew, we got lucky

In San Fransico Car Breakins dropped almost immediately by 50% and 75% in the long run since Flock cameras were introduced

Rosenow is a municipal (around 32km²) and in there is a district also called Rosenow. So the sender just specified his current position a bit more.

Sure, let me just quickly hop on a plane to australia to meet with some. I assume youre paying?

> When your grandkids ask you what you did with your finite time, is "I pwned noobs" the answer you want to give?

Yes? What kind of question is that? Youre just gonna start talking about the value you created for shareholders or your business?

They cant outspend each other forever. And with all the datacenters not even being able to be hooked up compute isnt the problem, its powering it.

If you have an X4 non-developer version you can still flash crosspoint (idk about the one from OP) via the sd card method, its described on the crosspoint website.

This looks quite expensive for note taking. I have a midori travellers notebook (wow they got expensive now!) and bought myself a stapler that you can rotate (so together like 50€ and I still thought it was quite expensive at the time). I make my own refills out of whatever paper I want.

You could solve the inaccuracy by just using a resin printer, that should have enough accuracy (maybe with some fiddling with the settings/trying out resins, light can bleed to the sides of the tiny holes needed). Although I have never done a stencil that was very fine but did fine silicone moulds with them.

Theres already 3d models of heads you can print and attach to the rearview mirror to trick the ssensor! At least for the Teslas with Autopilot, but I can imagine it working just as well with other cars.

Probably the same stuff they smoked when they cheaped out on a resistor on the raspberry pi 4 and made it so chargers thought it was an audio device.

They sold me a Pixel phone with a broken battery (I think 6a? Where the battery fails after 400 charging cycles). I got an email and the offer to just get 100$ in cash from them instead of sending my phone away to get it fixed. I never received the money after filling out all the forms. Fuck google.
