I've always avoided the brand because of the massive surveillance.
But if the prices fall far enough, I may consider a used Tesla (although to date, in spite of all the press, they still aren't generally cheap enough to make me overlook the spyware).
The angst over people driving these cars is massively misplaced.
From a prior post:
A person driving a tesla is not elon 8-/ So in spite of anyone's anger at elon, directing that anger at any tesla owner is about as close to actually tilting at windmills as one can get.
If someone wants to go egg the security perimeter around one of elon's compounds, knock yourself out. That won't accomplish anything either, but at least it will be directed at the correct recipient.
I think almost everyone who bought a tesla, did it for the purpose of electrifying their transportation. Which is a good thing. Noone should be taking their elon angst out on tesla owners.
On the upside of tesla over other EVs, they are the only maker that implemented a significant charging network, and that network is very well integrated into the navigation feature of the car. Driving a tesla around and across California is totally feasible because of that integration.
On the specific subject of having one's tesla stolen, I can see the motive, but again I don't think it would solve any problems.
If you have a pasta machine, they're not hard to make. I'm fractionally Polish, but culinarily Italian, and my wife is also fractionally Polish, but also culinarily Polish.
Making them together been a wonderful blend of our respective kitchen skills and a lovely project for a mud season weekend day.
Finding the farmer's cheese is usually the hardest part. Folks in the northeast can pretty much count on finding it at a Market Basket. No idea where you'd start looking in San Diego. Boston area folks who aren't already aware should know that the Polish store and the Polish restaurant in Andrew are both amazing.
Yes, it is, and now we know both of those things don't we.
What will be the consequence? My risky prediction: Absolutely Nothing, for neither goggle nor any of the other miscreants running the bot nets.
And just to take a poke at the title of the original El Reg article: Do you really think the problem is that they just haven't "learned" yet how to "play nice"? I'm sure the great oracle goggle, just needs someone to poperly splain it to them.
One was convicted of murder for the death of a woman killed by their dogs...
Dog's became massively popular during the plague, and most of these new owners neither knew nor cared about training the dogs, with significant bad results.
It's reached the point where I actually search for "dog free" restaurants to patronize...
The whole disdane for this plant, is rooted in the lawn mania.
It should be noted that most sod grasses are also an invasive species in most places. And in the western US, where water is not as available as it is in South Carolina, sod lawns also require a lot of water from the Colorado River that could go to much better use.
They also, uinlike sod, don't require mowing since they don't grow to multiple feet in height if left unattended.
The US concept of a sod grass lawn as a standard home feature is another example of the US's arrested development in Happy Days.
The story of taming the Sonoran Desert includes people from the northerly, Midwest areas of America who suffered various respiratory problems, and whose physicians recommended or prescribed visits to the dry desert air. Just like birds flying south for the winter, there are “snowbirds”: humans who migrate to Arizona during the wintertime.
However, Arizona has plenty of dust and sand and fungus hiding therein. Personally, I was afflicted with Valley Fever when I first arrived here.
The snowbirds who permanently settled here brought most of their hobbies with them, including golf and luxurious bluegrass lawns.
The ground vegetation often necessitates flood irrigation here. Water does not soak into the earth very far, and there are drainage problems. There are Palo Verde trees which generate a “yellow snow” of delicate flowers spreading pollen in certain seasons.
Since COVID-19 made dust masks acceptable and ubiquitous, I wear one anytime there's a risk outside of blowing dust or low air quality. I also cultivate a full beard for natural protection.
Of course, you could always use a black board instead.
They do still make chalk...
Or, you could go with the $50,000 IoT board so Amazon and Goggle can scrape everything you draw in your meetings (they're already scraping your email anyway).
Those are largely ineffective in the modern world.
Most bot nets, like he mentions in the blag post, come from 1 IP address only 1 time. With thousands to tens of thousands of IP addresses in the bot net, there is just no way to block by IP address anymore.
