Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limitsEnglish
132·2 months agoThere’s a little more to it than that. They also need to consider that, in cars with an analogue speed dial, the actual speed is not displayed precisely. Plus, there may be minor discrepancies between the speed dial and the actual speed, which can be affected by non-standard tyres etc. So a small “buffer” in acceptable speeds is pretty reasonable.
I recall being told by someone at a Mitsubishi factory that car manufacturers actually intentionally set the speed dials to be slightly higher speed than reality to accommodate for people’s need to break the rules just a little…!

Dogs@lemmy.world•Anyone else's doggo do things like this?English
31·3 months agoIf you’ve ever had a food obsessed dog you will have witnessed them going back to their food bowl some time after eating their dinner to give it another lick, just in case some food had materialised.
In our family, we believe there is a special bed time story, passed down from mother to puppy, of the Dog With the Magical Refilling Dinner Bowl. Puppies remember this story, and check their bowls every night, just in case they are lucky like the dog in the story.
In order to ensure the story lives on, for our dogs birthdays we will feed them, wait for them to finish and wander off, then quietly refill their bowls with another full dinner. Without fail, every time, our dogs will come back to their bowls and do an actual, comical, boggle-eyed double-take when they realise there is food in the bowl again.

Technology@lemmy.world•How Quantum Computers are gonna screw usEnglish
2·4 months agoAt the time of my reply this post has only 14% upvotes, on this left leaning social space So, no, I don’t think “the left” are modern luddites. Unless of course you are an AI-bro or a crypto-bro (a nearly perfect circle Venn diagram), in which case yeah I can imagine you’d think that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claimsEnglish
5·4 months agoFair enough but in the post I replied to you did say you won’t blame the parents “here” in the slightest, which to me means “here in this specific case”.

131·4 months agoThey already had the kid in therapy. That suggests they were involved enough in his life to know he needed professional help. Other than completely removing his independence, effectively becoming his jailers, what else should they have done?

51·5 months agoThank you. Glad one person has the ability to actually comprehend what I said. Vivaldi - and several others - does ad blocking on iOS right now.

1039·5 months agoFirefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnoutEnglish
145·6 months agoI hear this all the time but I struggle to see how it is true. How many people regularly trawl through their feed looking for creators who haven’t posted in X days and unfollowing them? It would be a minuscule number. I’m pretty darn selective with my follows and I think I’d do this once a year, tops.
I think creators are conflating the everyday ups and downs of follower counts on their platform(s) as being something more. And I think the platforms themselves are encouraging this mentality because they need fresh content.
Your solution to someone complaining that the boss is earning too much is to suggest they pay the other workers less (or not at all)?

Dogs@lemmy.world•How does your dog tell you it's -their- dinnertime?English
5·7 months agoWe have two dogs. One paws at his food bowl until it flips and makes a huge noise, the other just pesters me with endless licks. The “clannnnng” of the food bowl always gets a laugh (and immediate action) but the licking is just annoying.

I have a Surface Laptop 6 and a Razer eGPU enclosure with a Radeon 6600 XT in it and it works fine. The manufacturer will list what sorts of GPUs are compatible, assuming you get a brand name one and not some cheap no-name Amazon job.
Honestly if you have the money, go for a PC. The mobile CPU in laptops/tablets will your biggest bottleneck. Get a decent CPU, motherboard and PSU and the best GPU you can afford and it’ll probably out perform the Surface.

Technology@lemmy.world•I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphoneEnglish
134·1 year agoYep me too. Wife was adamant her phone was spying on her so we decided to test it by talking about Lexus cars (having chosen cars because at the time she was getting no car ads anywhere, had no interest in cars, and she had never heard of the brand before so certainly hadn’t searched for it). A few hours later, her Facebook feed was full of Lexus ads. 100%.
