So you're saying every town should have an Adolf Hitler street?

No. Google just took the Pixel device trees out of AOSP and is not publishing them elsewhere. Alternate OSes for Pixel devices just died.

Some ideas don't require lengthy exposition, but SEO demands longer articles, and that leads to this. In a reasonable world an editor would have ripped half this article's guts out due to redundancy.

It was that way here until the oil crisis, which shrank cars for a while. Now they are inflated again, but as things are getting crappier here, smaller vehicles are returning. If you have lots of space and fuel is cheap, larger vehicles are lovely. If neither thing is true, they are just more trouble and expense than they are worth.

Vehicles being higher up has little influence on how far their headlights cast, especially given safe following distances they are the least relevant thing. They are just commonly poorly aimed. I thought Europe had inspections for that kind of thing, though? In the US we theoretically do, but I see misaimed headlights constantly.

Technology is the answer, though. I don't plan to learn another script, though I might learn another language. But why should anyone have to? Computers are actually good at recognizing text and doing translations now. That's two legit uses for "AI" that have actually come true. For example I've successfully OCR'd Chinese documentation and translated it and had it not come out in broken English. This really makes one wonder why anyone is still doing bad documentation and ads, but I do still see them regularly. So weird.

Ah yes, don't participate in modern society. I see you are very smart.

It's not a surprise if human knowledge which is kept secret doesn't show up in LLMs. And today, not putting any knowledge on the internet is effectively that. The reason all our nerd shit shows up in LLM data is that we made it freely available to all on the open internet.

Fuck you cowardly oil-sucking cucks.

I don't know how hard it would be to do with your existing install, but I have Windows 11 in a QEMU/KVM VM with a virtual TPM and it works fine...

Point out some Nazi shit and get modded down.

B!zX puts Re!ch in the word filter, and also has put Nazi in there multiple times, to try to prevent people from talking about Nazis

Slashdot must be run by Nazis.

Cleaning up the mess from all the people filling and then subsequently emptying the large tanks for their large cars is something we literally do not know how to do, so it can be considered to take an infinite amount of time and cost an infinite amount of money.

People don't care, so we should burn the world! What a fucking stupid, senseless, self-centered argument.

On what basis?

The laws are garbage because people will cheat on the laws? That sounds more like the cheaters are garbage, and you're an enabler.

Every. Single. Car. Company. In. The. US. Can. Meet. Those. Standards.

They choose not to.

Guess who bought these laws? These are intended consequences.

No.

Yes, Dieselgate involved Mercedes, BMW, and Bosch as well.

You could just look this up.

The DOJ also collected settlements from Mercedes and BMW. VW was just the company they had conclusively nailed, and they're also largest of them. VW led to Bosch which led to Mercedes and BMW. It all actually makes sense if you know about it.

All cars since the late eighties have had the former and all cars with automatic transmissions since the nineties have the latter. Even where they have a linkage to a valve on the throttle body, there are still computer-controlled solenoids.
