Apparently its based on the field rotations in the motor or something, remember this is a fixed gear vehicle. I don’t think ICE cars use a gear either anymore, its based on the crankshaft sensor for the EFI, multipled by a gear ratio figure in the ECU. Even pushbikes don’t have gear sensors for speedo reading, they count magnetic fluctuations in the rim.

people buy them for the motion sensors and the games. the tech is irrelevant. The NES was ancient tech when it came out. Most of the games on PS are too hard and/or inappropriate for children.

If these welfare queens can’t make anything people want then no matter - there’s a million people lined up ready to take their job.

In fact I believe the odometer reading is calculated from the electricty consumption, not from a meter in the gearbox. So if the range reading is inaccurate (and they are) it would throw out the mileage as well.

Should be super easy to prove too… Take an assortment of Teslas to a 1 mile stretch of road, drive it up and down 20 times, measure the mileage before and after.

Not necessarily, the incorrect readings may only occur at certain speeds or conditions.

Slavery never went away, they just became sharecroppers, which is a form of slavery.

SCOTUS ruled that sharecropping was a form of slavery in the 1960s. BTW, Clarence Thomas and Roberts want to overturn that ruling…

but wouldn’t it squah your testicles and it keeps working its way around to your bum

What ? I’ve study botany and the term fruit is used extensively.

A fruit is the heterozygotic offspring of the parent plant. A seed is the male zygote, with the female zygote being pollen. So “seed” oils are made from fruit, just like olive oil.

A tuber (potato) or rhyzome (ginger) is a homozygotic offspring. A vegetable is a part of the plant that is not the offspring, like the leaves, stem or root.

How about you grow stuff Americans want, rather than what the govt will buy and give away overseas ?

You know - like Trump suggested.

all apps built for one distro can be run on another.

Pfft no. They won’t even work on earlier versions of the same distro. Or later. Or any distro where you’ve installed a library or driver thats older or newer than the one needed for the app your installing.

So in essence there is no difference besides the installation process, gui, and package manager.

There are three different package systems (Red Hat, Debian and Arch) and they are all completely incompatible with each other, and earlier versions of themselves. You can use containers like Snap or Flatpack or half a dozen other standards, which again are all incompatible with each other, and all of them except Snap aren’t fully containerised either - they are dependent on specific libraries and drivers in the distro.

In the near future, probably within 12 months, all the standard features of Windows will be gone. The won’t be any Explorer, there won’t be any Start menu, there won’t be any opening screen.

There will just be a prompt and you say “computer, open yesterdays word file”, like in Star Trek. There won’t be any “apps” to install - you’ll just say “phone, open the order menu for Boise City Chick-Fil-A” and it will navigate automatically to the page.

Sure, if you’re a total weirdo you will be able to install a bash shell and navigate manually, but hardly anyone will do that.

BTW, AI is being introduced into Linux as well.

You can run Deepseek on a Raspberry Pi.

1-money 2-incompetence 3-the senior prgrammer left somewhere and is uncontactable, or was sacked by a powertripping manager with the IQ of a cinder block and no one can work out what the hell they wrote.

Actually, the tweet was accurate.

The university uses a proxy so it will be automatically shadowbanned.

You don’t need to do anything.

If your IP or profile is copied by a spammer - even if they never use it - you will get shadowbanned. Even a new IP won’t get rid of it. If you use a proxy, like a public computer, even briefly, you will get shadowbanned as well.

Mods also use bots to automatically ban profiles based on word and letter combinations, For instance using the word SS will result in a PERMANENT BAN in many subs, and a shadowban if you try a new account.

A lot of the ban are automatic. Mods also use bots to make bans.

If you use a public computer, or an older system, you seem to get shadowbanned because your IP address is copied by a spammer and once that happens they use cross-editing to build a profile so even a new IP will get shadowbanned.

No that won’t work.

Most likely OP has been shadowbanned so they cannot comment.

Theres heaps of stuff that is under-developed or mssing, but they prefer to rewrite working code in Rust, because ideology.

We are witnessing the death of Linux here, no less, replacing a working kernal with an still undefined language that everyone will have forgotten in 5 years.

The IBM 503, the last valve computer, that Cobol and Fortran, the first languages were developed on, had 20 bit words.

So an 80 column card could fit 4 words across. Thats why teletypes and terminals had 80 coulmns of text - so they were the same size as punch cards.

Fortran only used 72 columns, so the last 8 were unused.

It seems weird, but on early computers bytes were not based on multiples of 8 or 4 (like 8 but, 16 bit, 32 bit etc). Some computers had 15, 10, 7, 25, even 50 bit words.

There are quite a few subreddits that require vast amounts of karma points (like 12,000) to reply, and there are heaps that require high karma points to post, meaning you have to effectively buy them.
