Generic Openpilot out of the box is just super nice cruise control right now. So it can do longitudinal and latitudinal control. So it lane keeps, stays behind the car in front of you, etc.

If you use Sunnypilot or one of the other friendly forks, you can do more, but it's not (currently) to the state of Tesla's FSD.

Personally, I recommend buying it if you do a lot of road trips. It's amazing for that. In/around town it's only useful if you have a lot of stop and go traffic, like if you live in LA or other large car-centric city with a big commute.


There is also https://text.npr.org


You can get pretty far with just PG using tstzrange and friends: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rangetypes.html

Otherwise there are full bitemporal extensions for PG, like this one: https://github.com/hettie-d/pg_bitemporal

What we do is range types for when a row applies or not, so we get history, and then for 'immutability' we have 2 audit systems, one in-database as row triggers that keeps an on-line copy of what's changed and by who. This also gives us built-in undo for everything. Some mistake happens, we can just undo the change easy peasy. The audit log captures the undo as well of course, so we keep that history as well.

Then we also do an "off-line" copy, via PG logs, that get shipped off the main database into archival storage.

Works really well for us.


I looked(admittedly briefly) and couldn't find the architecture explanation in the docs here: https://django-liveview.andros.dev/docs/


I apologize, I assumed the architecture would be understandable from the examples. I'll keep that in mind!


The docs lead to a 403, but I'd be curious to know how it is simpler. I believe the Phoenix version uses Erlang iolists and immutability to make diffing more efficient, and perhaps the Django version has something similar?


sorry, try this: https://django-liveview.andros.dev/docs/install/

Though it doesn't answer your question, the link at least works :)


Vivaldi doesn't block ads as well as uBlock Origin, so I'll stick with uBlock Origin which means Firefox and friends anymore.


uBlock origin does indeed work, and ctrl+e is really nice, so I'm actually using Vivaldi as my main browser now. It's nice.


You can run uBlock in Vivaldi.


Not on mobile.


Right, but the Roku literally monitors what you watch 2x a second. They call it ACR: https://advertising.roku.com/learn/resources/acr-the-future-...


An Apple TV 4k: https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-4k/

It will just work. You will maybe get an ad or two from Apple, rarely, about Apple services, but it's very rare and easy to ignore.

Otherwise you only get ads if your service(Netflix, etc) delivers ads.

Apple won't share your data with anyone, and generally does a fairly decent job(compared to other giant tech companies) of not collecting much.


The only acceptable number of ads is zero.


Good luck with that, no company anywhere offers no ads.


Which is why things like The Pirate Bay remain popular.


My main peeve with the Apple TV (device) is that the home button keeps sending me into Apple TV (App) instead of to the main screen.

I have to click it twice to get back to the home screen.


As is also commented, within the device settings you change the behaviour to be a home button.

You should also be able to hold the ‘menu’ or ‘<‘ button, depending on which remote you have, to directly go to the home page


Just dig into the menu, that's an option if I remember well.


A phone number IS identity these days.


Yeah, so many places ask for phone number that don't really need it that I assume the phone number is a unique identifier used to combine individual's data across websites.

Most of the time I use a made-up 555 number or if it needs to send an SMS to verify, I'll use a free SMS numbers.


Not if you buy a SIM or eSIM anonymously. This is easy in the U.S. with cash in a store, or online (silent.link).


Mostly only because Tesla doesn't share this data outside of Tesla, unless they leak it to news outlets to make it look like the accident was all your fault and not Tesla's.


Isn't that the definition of slander? Which is illegal in most places.


Maybe? But good luck proving it.

Tesla tends to only leak that stuff when they look bad. It's not like they are necessarily outright lying, they are just telling their version of the truth....

For the record, I'm not condoning this behaviour.


Source?

Post crash videos (IIRC published once to defend slander) extracted from black box isn’t the same as your claim.


VRR is Variable refresh rates, so if there is nothing going on in the content, they can bring the refresh rate down and save processing, thermal issues and energy. If there is a lot going on(say a game), they can ramp the refresh rate back up super high.

There are a few different "standards" around VRR, not every device supports all of them.


Meh, I wonder why I care about saving energy or processing on a tv that’s plugged in anyway but hey. Thanks for explaining!


Their explanation of the reason for VRR is bad. The primary reason people want it is gaming where the game is not locked to a specific frame rate. Without VRR, the timing of a frame being delivered isn't necessarily going to match when the display is expecting a new frame. This leads to one of two effects. Either the display is forced to hold an old frame for longer and pick up the new frame on the next refresh cycle, which creates stutter. Or the display switches which frame its using partway through the refresh cycle, which creates a visual tear in the image.
