Teslas Can Still Be Stolen With a Cheap Radio Hack—Despite New Keyless Tech
  • I just tried this a couple different ways:

    1. Removing permission for "nearby devices" - this unfortunately appears to block both Bluetooth and NFC permission
    2. Turning off the phone's Bluetooth - NFC still works while the Bluetooth radio is off, but you'd basically never be able to safely use Bluetooth anytime you aren't watching your car. Setting a PIN is still unfortunately the only way to go, and hope that a dedicated attacker doesn't also find a way to capture your PIN (e.g. camera zoomed in on your screen).
  • “CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM,” DOJ says after rare arrest
  • This is the part of the conversation where I have to admit that you could be right, but I don't know enough to say one way or the other. And since I have no plans to become a pediatrician, I don't intend to go find out.

  • “CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM,” DOJ says after rare arrest
  • In this hypothetical, the AI would be trained on fully clothed adults and children. As well as what many of those same adults look like unclothed. It might not get things completely right on its initial attempt, but with some minor prompting it should be able to get pretty close. That said, the AI will know the correct head size proportions from just the clothed datasets. It could probably even infer limb proportions from the clothed datasets as well.

  • “CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM,” DOJ says after rare arrest
  • I think there are two arguments going on here, though

    1. It doesn't need to be trained on that data to produce it
    2. It was actually trained on that data.

    Most people arguing point 1 would be willing concede point 2, especially since you linked evidence of it.

  • Tesla drops Steam gaming support inside its vehicles
  • Even on cars that support it, it has always told you that you need to close Steam to put the car in drive. They don't let you play any games while the car is in motion.

    It's been a decently good feature to have; the few times charging was a bit slow for me, it was nice to be able to play FFVI or Secret of Mana to pass the time. And it even synced my saves for when I got back home.

  • xkcd #2932: Driving PSA
  • Even on that, a driver in the right lane must exit. If they want to continue to the left, they are required to make a lane change, in which case all lane change rules would apply.

  • Handbrake/ffmpeg: What free video codec to use for 720p videos?
  • The viewing options OP listed should all work with AV1, I think they were just worried by the preset names. Plus, hardware support should only get better.

    OP, you should be able to adjust settings after you select a preset, so you can pick different dimensions/frame rates/audio codecs/etc.

    Side note, I've found that the matroska container is the easiest one for me to use if I want better subtitle support.

  • The fix is scheduled for the next release
  • This is what seems to have helped for me on Fedora:

    1. Install free and non-free RPM Fusion repositories: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

    2. Then run the following:

      sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
      sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
      sudo dnf install mozilla-openh264
      rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin
      
      

    I was having trouble with many h265 videos until I cleared my gstreamer cache (I only needed to clear the 64-bit cache, this thread suggests clearing both 32 and 64-bit):

  • Controversial benchmarking website goes behind paywall — Userbenchmark now requires a $10 monthly subscription
  • What's scary is that I think the owner of userbenchmark actually believes that statement. Which might explain how he's so out of touch that he thinks his own crap doesn't stink and deserves to be locked behind a subscription. I'm just sad that there might be a not insignificant number of people that pay for it.
