Nothing could be worse than X Æ A-12.

Not having really researched the topic, I understand electric vehicles in general have more torque and power than ICE vehicles. Given that the major brands have made EV trucks that have very similar packaging to their ICE counterparts, the only holdback is the range and charging anxiety. For anyone not towing heavy loads long distances, an EV truck should be more than capable as a work truck, and in some ways even more capable (job site power) or preferable (maintenance cost reduction and fleet charging at the office) over their counterparts.

Edit: there is a second holdback of the “my truck absolutely needs to make smog and noise because I’m insecure about myself” crowd.

The only text on that page that states the origin of the dev’s code is Mazda’s claim that the relevant code is Mazda’s. If their claim is true, then it would seem to me the DMCA takedown is valid.

The reason the DMCA takedown notice is malicious is that code from Mazda’s official app is not required to develop a tool that works in a similar way. The API of the server is freely accessible and figuring out how to interact with it can be done completely without infringing on anyone’s copyright.

Okay, it doesn’t matter how it could have been done, it matters how it was done, and again, the only claim made on the page is that it was stolen code.

I’m all for actually owning what you buy and being able to integrate it with your other stuff however you please, but distributing someone else’s work is a valid claim for infringement. And as with any other cloud-based stuff, don’t expect it to work forever. Support and push for local device access without the need for cloud services.

The bottle on the ground behind him really sells it.

While it’s nice to finally have closure on this, it’s also depressing that they removed that.

Not just you. I feel like search modifiers like “NOT” or “OR” haven’t been working for a good long while either.

Brace yourself, because it’s going to get a lot worse.

Kill more civilians, radicalize the survivors against you, generate more enemies, bomb new radicalized enemies, kill more civilians…

Same. And I’ve bought many UGreen chargers and cables since that whole ordeal. Since then I’ve seen some Anker chargers, batteries, and desk power strips that looked really appealing and that I would’ve bought if I wasn’t avoiding them.

“your’re”

Hmmm…

Semantic satiation

Eco Tank is a good choice if you print with regularity or need a photo printer, but not if you print maybe once or twice a year. It’s still an inkjet, and the head will still clog if sat unused for a couple months, requiring a lengthy head cleaning cycle and possible replacement of the maintenance box. If you almost never print, but need your printer to just work without fuss that one random day you need to print, it’s gotta be a laser printer.

If I was Zelensky, I’d probably distrust any US intelligence going forward anyway. Cross-validate US intelligence against that of European intelligence while tracking Russian equipment movement during the ceasefire, ready to unleash a simultaneous strike against everything within reach the moment Russia breaches the agreement.

While I can appreciate that it might be getting hit with DDoS, I really hope it’s deeper and causes data loss or something permanent. I want to see the world take everything away from Elon.

The end of I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home) by Grand Funk Railroad fits that description.

Eric Michael Kelso

His parents really named him after That 70s Show?

Donna Reid Kelso

And then he went out of his way to find a girl named Donna to fulfill his nominative determinism‽

Edit: The man is 44! Unless there was a legal name change at some point, his name predates the show. Wild.
