- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 3 days ago:
Yes, but under libertarianism that would all be legal. So I’m not sure life without laws would be all that much better than life with laws. Would give even more power to the elites.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 3 days ago:
Okay, can YOU name a single large scale communist country that did away with the vanguard?
Depends on what you mean by AI. No, I don’t think LLMs will ever be sentient. I also just know that under human leadership it’s impossible for true equality to exist. Those in power will always want more.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 3 days ago:
Are you stalking me now?
No, I have no examples of a successful transition from to communism because it can’t really happen at scale with humans in charge. The “vanguard” will never relinquish control. Why would they? Someone else would take the role anyway.
Maybe one day we’ll have real AGI to handle it.

Yeah, retiring at 50 works if everyone under 50 is a slave.
- Comment on ‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job 4 days ago:
Yes because the workers aren’t paying enough tax to support the owner class (people over 50)
- Comment on ‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job 4 days ago:
At 50 you’re bound to have more connections than 30 though. That’s way more people to ask for a job.

The law, incidentally, is also what makes it illegal for said capitalists to kill you for example. Why do you think they always want their industries deregulated, E.g when it comes to safety regulations.
Doesn’t get much better under communism either since party elites are allowed to do anything they want and enrich themselves in the process.

I just deleted the already broken EGR system and mine’s gone. Was complaining about lack of EGR flow and I didn’t feel like repairing the carbon deposit generator, my intake was nasty enough and cleaning valves is annoying

Veepeak and obdlink are good generic ones in my experience, BimmerLink even recommends a specific obdlink one for example, think it has an STN2120 rather than the usual ELM327 clone chips and thus is a bit higher quality, but for most cars and most apps, the ELM based ones work.
If you use or might one day want to use IOS, get one with BT LE support and connect via app, not the Bluetooth menu. If you do, you’ll have to restart the phone to get it to show up again, stupid iOS thing.

Haven’t actually seen a car that’s vin locked myself, except engine and transmission control modules on some cars. You’d have to find someone with tools to write the ECU if you want to swap in a used control module in those cases. Good generic scan tools and even some mobile apps will get you the codes from most modules of most modern cars. What they might not support is coding a new module or calibrating new sensors (but often times you can still do that too). There are also marque-specific aftermarket solutions. For example, VCDS gets you fault codes, live data, adaptations, tests, coding for most VAG models other than Porsches. In the expensive version (still in the hundreds price wise, not thousands) you even get some limited Lamborghini support.
Also anything that triggers this particular light should come up with a standard OBD2/E-OBD scan you can perform with a 5 dollar dongle off aliexpress and any free OBD2 app.
Don’t ever buy a John Deere tractor though. Those things have VIN locked parts all around. Tons of things need marrying to the tractor if replaced.

Anything that affects emissions has to trigger it. Even a loose gas tank cap I believe. Other than that, the manufacturer may choose to trigger it on any number of powertrain issues, depending on what they have sensors for.
- Comment on About to ruin your whole day 4 days ago:
Yeah wouldn’t fly here. Instant failure on the annual safety and emissions check
But if it’s an intermittent code you can just clear it and hope it doesn’t come back lol

Don’t worry, Microsoft now owns them both, we aren’t getting either game this or next decade. Buying up all the game publishers and studios and having them work on games would make far too much sense

It’s mostly owned by boomers and their pensions and 401ks now. As a class they outweigh billionaires 8 to 1 in terms of wealth though of course billionaires are way more active in their enfuckening of the companies they lead.

I thought the same till I watched Internet Historians video on it. Murray was in way over his head and numerous times he was like “eh yea sure maybe” and then whatever was asked was confirmed as a feature.
Dude had no public speaking ability, got nervous and ducked up tons of times. They were too small to have a real PR person.
Many of the promised things were things they thought they’d add, but couldn’t make in time.
But personally I’m glad I bought it during COVID. I was skeptical when it was being hyped, but eventually I decided to give it a shot and I kinda liked it. But even then I didn’t find it to be a 60€ game. The 20-30 I paid for it was fine.

I don’t get it either. It’s my only “me” time unless I’m working on my car at night. But I put on a podcast or audiobook in the garage usually (not always). I like having SOME time when I can just… Exist. Alone. In hot running water. With nothing but my thoughts.
But tough times have given me tons of mental fortitude to get through just about anything and perhaps not everyone’s brain is wired the same. I suspect for someone with severe anxiety, it’s very different and being alone with their thoughts might be the worst thing. And anxiety disorders are pretty common these days from what I’ve heard

LLMs are pretty good at reverse engineering proprietary software, would make sense to use one for an emulator.

You still had to pay for shit in the USSR, you just had less options and high demand items like cars could have a years long wait list.

And as he says in that video, air fryers are much better at making things crispy quickly
Turns out you don’t need such a huge amount of empty space for a lot of things and once you get rid of it, it works much better
Though the name is still stupid. There’s no frying going on

That’s actually… not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Bad yes, but once population growth reverses, rent will stop rising and basically everything else has increased less than incomes. Just need more old people to die, the young are already not reproducing much so that’s all that’s needed.
