Republicans want drones and cannon fodder, not scientists and intellectuals.

It’s still better than WebEx because I don’t have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.

PE was what inspired me to get into marching band instead.

The prohibitions in question would include vehicles with certain bluetooth, satellite and wireless features as well as highly autonomous vehicles that could operate without a driver behind the wheel.

Chinese vehicles sold in the US would have the same internet connectivity as a base 2007 Honda Civic. Surveillance by the Chinese would be practically impossible with those limitations. You know who gets a pass on installing everything from internet connected cabin-facing cameras, accelerometers, microphones, and GPS tracking? US-based auto manufacturers!

That’s right, they can and will take all the data they have about you and sell them to data brokers. Enjoy paying a higher insurance premium because you braked too hard one time. Did your shiny new GM’s shitty drivetrain give out on you because their engineering is garbage and you want to claim the warranty for repairs? Too bad, you accelerated a little too hard that one time to get out of the way of a speeding truck and now they claim it was your bad driving that broke it.

I get you hate the CCP, most of us do (except the tankies here but they’re a special case) but until we rein in the lazy and corrupt domestic vehicle industry it’s gonna be a hard fight to get rid of Chinese vehicles encroaching on the market even with 100% tariffs.

Nice to know Chinese EVs will be the choice for privacy-minded individuals in the US soon. Being cheaper than western brands is a nice big fat cherry on top.

The only way to convince you this is wrong is if you get swatted and have your dog killed for barking too much in front of you while cuffed.

You don’t get to say “No” to YouTube, Microsoft, or the thousands of websites that ask to you to give them your email. There’s only a “Maybe later”.

Manually transferred about 7TBs to my new Rpi4 powered NAS. It took a couple of days because I was lazy and transferred 15 GBs at a time which slowed down the speed for some reason. It could handle small sub 1 GB files in half a minute otherwise.

We really need to have a compulsive voting law where the fine is like $1000 dollars. To make it easier though voters should get a federal holiday for elections, a choice of mail in voting, and be rewarded with $50 dollars for doing it. For all of you people who hate the idea of being compelled to vote, jury duty is mandatory but you get a small stipend for your time (at least in CA) and it’s necessary to keep a functioning government.

Now if only we can get rid of the electoral college and implement ranked choice voting…

Mozilla’s slowly creeping in the surveillance with adding integrated crap like Pocket and AI driven Fake Spot. I’m really glad Librewolf’s made a privacy focused fork of their browser without all that nonsense.

Got a T450 for less than a hundred bucks and the build quality’s something that no longer exists in this day and age. Almost every piece of hardware in that thing’s easily accessible and replaceable. It’s gonna be a sad day when it finally dies out and nothing else in the market could compare.

You’re right about the bad cable. I have a collection of about 10 USB A to USB micro cables and only one of them showed up on lsusb! Thanks for the advice!

I get this as a result:

user@user-System-Product-Name:~/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX$ sudo make Makefile

make: Nothing to be done for ‘Makefile’.

I did what abominable_panda suggested and it returned a “wait_queue_t” and a couple of pointer type errors. I’m not sure if that’s something that could be fixed with installing something else, but I’m not at all familiar with troubleshooting on this OS yet. The troubleshooting part you mentioned is if it successfully installed but there are issues. It doesn’t quite explain the initial installation part.

As for cmnybo’s question, I’m trying to program a ESP32 module with the Arduino IDE. I’ve tried just plugging it in and hoping the driver would already be installed but lsusb doesn’t show it on the results.

Ahora esperemos que Porn Hub anuncie que no va a dar servicio en España como tantos estados Americanos que han hecho lo mismo.

Vista sucked for sure, but Windows 7 was pretty great IMO. I was dragged kicking and screaming into the shit that’s Windows 10 because Steam stopped supporting 7.

Any path that takes us to unlimited clean energy is the right one IMO. We could always do a little espionage and make our own domestic fusion drive eventually.

Or starts brush fires because their infrastructure’s horribly neglected.
