I don’t think DDR5 has any encryption built in? Maybe you’re thinking of the error correction controller that’s on the module now? Memory with inline encryption is not very common, and as far as I know, not actually very secure if the CPU/TPM isn’t the one holding the encryption key.

The article seems to imply the game was never sold with a factory seal, so this was sealed after the fact for some reason. Seems extra fishy to me.

The key difference is the centralization of the collected data (like the whole Flock problem vs individual stores having their own CCTV). The issue is that Tesla employees have access to WAY more surveillance data than they realistically should, without having to put any effort in to collecting it.

Edit: I just wanted to clarify what I meant by “effort”. Normally to get at CCTV data, police would have to get a search warrant for each individual business with probable cause for some crime. If all the data is in the cloud, most cloud providers will just give it all up willingly without a warrant, possibly to anyone if they’re selling the data.

This might surprise you, but I don’t think anyone here is complaining about ease of installation… The “factory bullshit” is built right in to Windows now, and trying to remove it goes way beyond “post-install configuration”.

Also, as someone who’s done server deployments… doing automated linux installs is trivial.

Looks like this homeowner got lucky the car didn’t hit a wall. Replacing just a garage door is way easier than repairing structural damage to the walls… Hopefully the driver’s insurance pays for all of it.

You don’t have to use the self driving features of a Tesla. As long as we’re not talking about Cybertrucks, they’re still a regular car with mechanically connected steering and brakes.

The back seats not having manual releases and other baffling design decisions might be dangerous for the people inside, but I don’t really have a problem being on the road next to them.

I mail in my votes, and Canada Post handles those. I would not trust any digital voting system.

Didn’t Microsoft just pull this same thing and now there’s all these 0-days getting released publicly as vengeance? I swear, all these companies are sharing the same brain cell…

Not even having npm installed as a system package feels like a personal win right now. I’d like to think I would have caught this due to the number of dependencies it would introduce to my system. node_modules seems like it’s been the source of most of the recent CVEs I’m hearing about.

I guess that kinda solves the GPS spoofing that ruined it for me. Going for a long walk to a pokestop with nobody around, only for someone to hack and remotely take over the stop while I’m sitting there…

I think the data collection is a little too intrusive for me to even attempt playing it again though.

The problem with that is the first sentence:

Except for the express warranties stated herein

It states pretty clearly to me they are liable for the current market price if they are unable to repair or replace.

What’s funny is this wording was likely designed to try and screw over the customer and backfired, because historically a used SSD has always been cheaper than the original purchase price. But in this specific market, it works in the consumer’s favor.

They can polish a turd all they want, but at the end of the day, it’s still shit.

I’m pretty sure I saw a vending machine in NYC where you could buy prepaid SIMs for cash. That seems about as “burner phone” as it gets.

I think that’s entirely possible depending on where they live and how much they drive. I have a spreadsheet with my gas spending, and I’ve spent around $12k on gas since 2016. That includes some cross-country road trips, and taking my car to the race track, where it can burn 3 tanks in a day…

For the last 6 years or so, I’ve only spent $3k in gas on my daily, since I don’t have to go far and work remotely now. Gas prices in the PNW aren’t exactly the cheapest either.

Meanwhile my old GoPro Hero 4 is somehow the most reliable action camera I own, and my newer one constantly stops recording due to something. I bought an Insta360 as an alternative a couple years ago and the batteries are all already toast, and last maybe 30 seconds of recording.

Did the dealership put an additional tracker on the car without telling you? That’s incredibly scummy.

Cybertruck parking only

In a few years, this might brick your car. Have fun paying to have it towed to the dealership. User-caused damage isn’t covered under warranty by the way.

Why does everything have to suck so much…

I actually want a 90s Civic hatchback with an EV swap
