If there’s anything actionable about it, it would be collusion to crack down on any Chinese, local, or other AI implementations outside the crony circlejerk.

OBD1 is fine if you know how to deal with it.

You should tell that to the multiple mechanics that have just flat-out refused to work on my '94 Toyota because it isn’t OBD2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_YF-12

Three of the four bays previously used to house the A-12’s reconnaissance equipment were converted to carry Hughes AIM-47 Falcon (GAR-9) missiles.

The SR-71 is the fastest production plane ever made that we know of. If one is being brought out of retirement, my first inclination would be to think it’s because something bad happened and they ran out of “Auroras” or whatever even faster black project jet they replaced it with.

OBD1 sucks, though. 1995 through 2010-ish (i.e. OBD2 but no telemetry) is much better.

(please quietly make the “buy an old car instead” jokes to yourself)

That’s not a joke, it’s sincere advice. My newest car is a 2008 (I think) model. I’d love to have an EV, but I don’t because I haven’t figured out how to have one that isn’t infected by “telemetry” and other enshittification. I have hopes for the Slate Truck, but it doesn’t actually exist yet, so I wait.

(Also, yes, as a mod of the place I’d be remiss if I didn’t second the other reply and suggest adopting a non-car-dependent lifestyle to begin with.)

I’ve got plans to install Libreboot on a server motherboard I have. On that one, the BIOS chip is actually socketed, so I can get an upgraded chip with 16MiB instead of 2MiB, use an external device like a Raspberry Pi flash Libreboot on it, and then install it on the board.

No worries about bricking the board unless I break the socket or something, LOL!

“Defrosting?!” Oh shit, oh fuck, you’ve invoked the curse and doomed us all!

I’ve had one accusation of being AI on Lemmy so far.

Pipe bombs against what target? That’s why they’re building bunkers in Hawaii and putting the data centers in space.

Cameras will be used as input to the AI datacenters directing the drones and Boston Dynamics robodog killbots.

I guess if you’re doing it as a big middle finger to copyright anyway, it’s fine. It’s when they start calling it “open source” because they published some source code that I have a problem with it, because decompiling doesn’t magically make it stop being proprietary or infringement.

Something something “horseshoe theory”

When you realize Tizen is (tivoized) Linux:

This is why antitrust law is great… or would be, if we fucking had it anymore!

Technological workarounds are not the same thing as actual solutions.

If the SoC is receiving a signal from the microphone and storing it in RAM at all, it’s fucking recording!

I have a TP-Link router (with the wifi shut off) and three TP-Link PoE access points, and I still paid much less than that for the entire setup including cable to wire my house.

TP-Link is supposed to be the cheap alternative, FFS!

Ideally, I pronounce it “Libreboot.”

$1M on day 1, $2M on day 2, $4M on day 3, etc.

Inb4 “fighting disinformation” turns out to mean “further cracking down on people protesting the genocide of Palestinians” in practice, while actual disinformation continues to go unchecked or even be protected.
