My GUESS would be that you get a prescription for whatever your vision requires as a baseline, then the auto focus kicks in for reading.

The intention is to replace bifocals or progressives, so you’d still have your primary prescription + adjustment for reading.

I should say too, that was almost 12:30 last night so you couldn’t really see what solar was doing.

Here it is at 9:45 this morning:

Sure, so I got a smart meter with my solar panel installation and the big difference is in monitoring.

With the old meters back in the day, you could go read the meter yourself, see what the number is, then check it every day or every week to measure your energy consumption.

With a smart meter, that’s all done through an app, and it uses patterns of energy use to identify individual appliances.

Won’t load without a login and the X alternatives, xcancel, unlace, don’t recognize grok content yet.

What do you want to know?

There have been non-drone flapping bird toys for decades(?) Maybe longer? At least since 1969.

There is a physical model, but definitely not rideable, looks like it just barely leans up and down, but they did get something real to display:

All terrain mobility.

That’s what I was thinking. 2nd thought: Does it come in green?

Yeah, but you don’t have to feed it and dispose of poop. :)

They state that each leg has it’s own motor so there would have to be some kind of standardization there.

I can’t imagine electric motors being THAT hard to swap out, I mean, my wheelchair has two of them and they’re user replacable. (Right hand motor and Left hand motor being separate units).

I’m not sure about user REPAIRABLE, that’s a different deal, but at a minimum user replacable.

It looks like a panther to me.

“20%-30% of code inside the company’s repositories”

Now, if they had said “20%-30% of code written in the past 6 months…” I might buy that.

The repositories are going to have all the current codebase, likely going back years now. AI generated code is barely viable at this point and really only pretty recently.

No way 1/3rd of all current codebase is AI.

Wasn’t there also a problem with the music rights?

All I see is fully exposed propellers at groin/knee level.

Forget about a birdstrike, you hit ANYTHING and you aren’t taking off or landing.

Great, a device style I hate with a screen style I hate. I look forward to never owning one.

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.

And still have data caps…

Of note:

"One of the notable issues is that this process also won’t delete all of your data — according to 23andMe’s privacy disclosure, your genetic information, date of birth, and sex will be retained for an undisclosed amount of time to comply with the company’s legal obligations, alongside “limited information related to your account,” such as your email address and communications around your data deletion request.

23andMe did not answer our questions regarding what specific data actually is retained or deleted when a user removes their account. Some posts have appeared online that encourage 23andMe users to scramble their data before deletion by replacing things like name, date of birth, ethnicity, sex marker, and height with false equivalents. This will supposedly render any information that is retained useless, but will likely be ineffective if 23andMe only stores the data that was used to create your account — something that the company also did not clarify to The Verge."

It also has no impact on research studies you’re already part of, all it does is prevent your DNA from being added to new studies.

I ran into this with my 2013 Kia Sorento ICE (which was subsequently totalled. :( )

When you replace the on-board infotainment system, there’s an interoperability package that has to be installed to make sure the existing functions of the vehicle continue to work.

Think of it like a translation layer, everything on the dashboard that went through the old system, has to be hooked up to the new system. Also complicated by steering wheel controls.

When it was all said and done, I had the full array of cameras that I wanted (turn signal cameras are amazing!) and everything worked…

Except the one little button that changed the interior lighting. It was forever stuck on red.

Now, for an EV, it’s essential everything work properly. I can totally see GM shutting that down.

This is kind of like the complaint about EVs not having AM radios… yeah, there’s a reason for that!
