    Elon Musk and Tesla ignored Autopilot’s fatal flaws, judge says evidence shows

    Agreed. Am simply concerned about the lack of depth in most stories (not especially this particular one). You and I know what these systems are and are not. But not most folks seeing headlines. I agree with the ruling too. Carry on, and a good day to all!

    Elon Musk and Tesla ignored Autopilot’s fatal flaws, judge says evidence shows

    The people that activate Autopilot in a Tesla are not entirely helpless. If they are aware and willing to take over control, they can do so extremely easily. The coverage of these stories makes it look like all those drivers are prisoners of a T-1000. Yes, the system is not in any way good...

    US airlines warn of “chaos” as telecoms groups roll out 5G

    Does that mean that folks that are vaxxed cannot fly anymore? What with the 5G chips in their arms?

    118 US coronavirus cases, 9 deaths as ramped-up testing uncovers hidden spread

    Why this is handled like a political crisis that must de damage controlled is beyond me. Lives are at stake, let the experts speak.

    Interstitial ad in article changes size

    Am seeing the same thing on Safari on macOS. It is making multi-page articles unbearably annoying to read. (Yes, getting a paid subscription would solve this for me, but this kind of friction is not the best way to gather new subs)

    Formula 1 cars are about to go through a big change, but is it good?

    Aside from ditching turbos and all KERS, you are right on!

    Can a new powerline kit solve an urban apartment dweller’s Wi-Fi woes?

    It is important to remember that 2,4 GHz networks have overlapping channels (i.e. Channels 2, 3, 4 and 5 will interfere with channel 1), whereas 5 GHz does not have that problem. 5 GHz does have a shorter range, which may be why this reviewer was struggling with his 5 GHz network. If you can...

    General Motors plans for an all-electric future, 20 new EVs coming by 2023

    You take that chance, I will not. At least, if you are conscious, you can escape the gas spill and fire in a gasoline car. A 10,000 PSI hydrogen tank blowing up gives you exactly 0 time to escape. I drive a battery EV, so if conscious after a massive crash, I have plenty of time to get out...

    3D print a serial-free handgun at home with the latest Ghost Gunner update

    What could possibly go wrong? Sigh... Americans! I'd love to live in your beautiful country without the fear of firearms being in the car next to me, or on the person standing behind me on the subway. Please do something to make me feel like I can be sure I will not get shot in my lifetime...

    General Motors plans for an all-electric future, 20 new EVs coming by 2023

    Hydrogen, really? When your tech requires 3 times the power (“well”-to-wheel) to move a car one mile than a battery-electric vehicle, you must be pandering to someone willing to sell you that insane amount of energy...

    US forecast models have been pretty terrible during Hurricane Irma

    I should stop watching CNN: every time they show the models, they almost visibly wince when saying that the European model is more accurate. I don't care what it is called and where it is from, please just use the best model, with the best track record. It is not American, and I do not care...

    Android users bombarded with >4,000 spy apps, three land in Google Play

    ^This. If you are going to say “oh yeah, but Apple is just as bad”, at least bring cogent arguments and you know, proof. This is not Twitter, we use logic and documentation to discuss things around here.
