    NHTS is asking Tesla to dutifully report all cases when illegal function was enabled, or FSD failed, or if car systems misbehaving could contribute to a crash. But can they trust T…

    Oh come on, pay for use is a solved problem. Look at gas pumps. But if it's not feasible to have a big DC converter in every car then no luck

    Electricity meters have been known for decades, even with payment terminals.after all, they were invented to bill customers for electricity used. And I can see authors point - if y…

    Just matches common characteristics of toxic, controlling people. Bad managers, maybe, but they know how to get what they want

    I don't mind paying for tools I'm using to get the job done. But ignorant remarks in the tone of 'drop the crap you're using, no matter what it is, and install Linux' were maybe go…

    But what to do if you really love what you do and can achieve really good results in your work, better than anyone else? It's a source of pride and recognition, no wonder it become…

    Beware, the rustification has broken thru .net defenses :) Not sure if I ever find use for Rust in .net runtime (C# has more or less same capabilities), but congrats anyway. Howeve…

    Astonishing that after more than 30 years of coexistence of Linux and Windows OSes such arrogant remarks are still being made

    Yep working with big li-ion batteries is dangerous and should be done with proper equipment and safety measures, but claiming that nobody can do that but the producer is BS. They j…

    It's not about repairing the battery by amateurs/diy enthusiasts, but the ability to replace the battery with another, compatible. It's not that hard to make sure that new battery …

    In some cases having a formalized process/methodology helps to appear professional and hide the fact that nobody knows exactly what they're doing. I've seen it it some place - very…
