Ok but something that’s really bothered me about A Quiet Place (besides the writing being god awful).
When she’s giving birth in the bathtub, the lights start flickering. They provide no explanation for why the lights are flickering. It’s legit just a scary movie trope in-action.
Heh, I guess I should have phrased that differently.
But yeah, it’s actually really courteous. Sometimes a little too much. It’ll move over to the left side of the lane if it sees a cyclist or pedestrian on the shoulder to the right. Unfortunately, it doesn’t understand when there’s a 3 ft concrete barrier between me and the pedestrian and will do it anyway. Makes some narrow bridge crossings a little scarier than necessary.
The first Model X has Autopilot 1 which was a system designed by Mobileye. Tesla’s relationship with Mobileye fell apart and they replaced it with an Nvidia based system in 2017(?). It was really really bad at the start as they were essentially starting from scratch. This system also used 8 cameras instead of the original 1.
Then Tesla released AP hardware 3 which was a custom-built silicon chip designed specifically for self-driving which also enabled proper navigation of surface streets in addition to the just highway lanekeeping offered in AP1. This broadened scope of actually dealing with turns and traffic from multiple angles is probably where the reputation of it being dangerous has come from.
My HW3 enabled Model 3 does make mistakes, though it’s rarely anything like hitting a pedestrian or running off the road. Most of my issues are with navigational errors. If the GPS gets messed up in the tunnel, it’ll suddenly decide to take an exit that it isn’t supposed to, or it’ll get in the left lane to pass someone 1/4 mile from a right-exit.
There was an extensive amount of refurbishment required to re-use the SRBs. Not to mention they had to be physically recovered, and salt water certainly made the process more complicated.
The shuttle itself needed each of its heat shield tiles replaced, which due to the shape of the shuttle were all unique.
The fuel tank was not reused.
The shuttle was meant to be a leap forward in rocket reusability, but it didn’t really pan out that way. There’s good reason the program was scrapped and not replaced with another space plane.
The Starship booster has the potential to launch multiple times per day. The only refurbishment period is how long it takes to refuel it.

$245/year assuming constant 200W load which is pretty reasonable for a small web server.
The trick is to have the server do other things like print, Plex, Piwigo, Samba, Shinobi, Frigate, Matrix, etc
Aw is that canon? I liked how they didn’t explain it in the show.
It always bugged me how in Man of Steel, Superman has to deal with the moral quandary of breaking the bad guy’s neck at the cost of vaporizing a family.
Like they spent the previous 20 minutes punching each other through buildings. No way that was the first family they killed.
Yes. Radio waves can pierce opaque objects.
Ah. Well if your PC is static, a USB tuner isn’t too much. Plus then you have a built-in DVR.
I hear that. We have an attic yagi aimed directly at Seattle from 10 miles away, and we still get the occasional dropout even on our strongest signals.
Still when it works, it works really well. We watch Nature and Nova on Sundays, and the wildlife footage looks incredible.
Well considering many paid tiers of streaming services also serve ads, I consider it free-er than that.
Also, most of the hardware is already inside your TV. You just need a $20 antenna.
Also attempts to make the ads more invasive (louder in this case) are literally legally limited by the federal government.
See this is what I’m talking about. Cable is not the same as over the air. I’m not sure how your cable works in Hungary content/pricing-wise, but I do find it funny that a lot of younger people in this thread are lumping the two together.
You don’t, but that only applies to sports or things that you need to watch live.
Ah, I remember finding it on stumbleupon like 20 years ago. I always thought it odd that there was no video or follow up story.
Hunted for a link at 1am last night and wasn’t really paying attention. Plus the whole thing grossed me out, so I didn’t look too closely.
Sorry for wasting everyone’s time.
Wait, what? Are you talking about people who upload content and try to slide by the copyright filters?

So to answer the original question, have you tried it and are you under 25?
That’s interesting! So it’s like free cable TV?
I think it’s really interesting to compare old iPhone ads with current smartphone ads.
iPhone in 2008: You can check the weather, get directions, take photos.
Phone in 2024: If you point your phone at a sign, it’ll google stuff about what it sees on the sign. Also, your iPhone will literally leave your hand and fly its way to the Verizon store to replace itself with an iPhone 16 because that’s all we got.
