Gnubyte , to technology in Tesla sued for false advertising after allegedly exaggerating EV ranges / The proposed class action accuses Tesla of fraud

Oh boy does GM with Chevrolet bolt have a huge lawsuit incoming then.

The only one that was even somewhat realistic was the shitty Nissan leaf with it’s 128 mile range for awhile lol, from experience.

I’m sure Tesla gets decent enough range but I can’t attest to that. I can attest to the bolt and leaf though.

    Well that's fine. The good thing about those lyrics is you can just swap tesla for another company.

    CapraObscura ,

    Volkswagen fucked with EPA tests and paid almost $15 billion for their efforts.

    And yet you think Tesla, a company owned and operated by an absolute sociopath, is being totally honest with their range numbers.

    Fucking lawl.

    CapraObscura ,

    A recall is a tacit admission that there is a problem, there is a fix, and it will be fixed at the manufacturer’s expense.

    Tesla has claimed there is no issue, instituted teams designed solely to minimize the number of complaints about this issue, done all they can to deny that there is a problem, and ultimately is being sued for failing to actually do their damn jobs.

    If you don’t understand the difference maybe you need to grow up a bit more before having an opinion.

    2. It’s way too slow.

    I’ve been using it since the early days and ran relays and exits. It’s good for anonymity against your ISP, advertisers and lesser adversaries than being targeted by TLAs. Can be a bit slow. Make sure to use encryption to protect against bad exit nodes.

    bruzzard ,

    Quick question: How does one set up encryption while using the Tor browser for things like searches and regular browsing (research, etc)? Would be useful to know. Appreciate.

    eleitl ,

    You just use https. There are extensions like HTTPSEverywhere, but they potentially add bits to your fingerprint. DuckDuckGo also offers their search interface as a hidden service, perhaps worth bookmarking.

    I used to use it. I used it to buy Xanax and it was bad times but the tor and Darknet market aspect was fine.

    lazycouchpotato , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands
    @lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

    I don’t see anything immediately wrong with verification. There are cases where people reach out to companies for support, and having them be verified helps. Tech enthusiasts like us might be less susceptible to phishing/scams, but regular folks aren’t.

    However, after everything Reddit has done recently, there’s no stopping them from turning this into a status symbol thing like “the website formerly known as Twitter”. They could tweak their algorithm to boost comments of “verified” accounts, degrading the quality of conversation there.

    Auduras , to technology in Netflix lists $900,000 AI job as actors and writers continue to strike

    I know we have our pitchforks out, but wanted to point out one subtle, but big difference from the article vs the job posting.

    The article quotes a base salary of $900,000, however that is incorrect as the number is the Total Compensation, NOT just the base salary. The job posting specifically calls this out.

    Regardless, these are very large numbers however the pay mixture could be (and likely is) loaded up with RSU grants, which isn’t “cash” perse.

    A base salary of $900K vs total comp of $900K are two vastly different things. Again, acknowledging that either way, these numbers are astronomical.

    Pieisawesome ,

    900k total comp is huge, but not astronomical in my opinion.

    If you look at levels.fyi, it seems to match up with very high level engineers at most FAANG companies.

    If you were to bring in someone to head up all of your AI for writing, you’d want to bring someone really good in.

    These people are few and far between and money is a strong lure.

    While this total comp is probably beyond you or I, there are definitely a lot of people in that ballpark.

    900k base salary would be nuts

    Auduras ,

    Yeah, fair point. Perhaps “astronomical” was a bit exaggerated. Well…from my perspective anyway!

    Pieisawesome ,

    When you are spending billions of dollars on programs, 1m is peanuts.

    If you can speed up a billion dollar program by 1%/improve by 1%, you got your money’s worth.

    But people of that tier usually make a much bigger impact.

    Anders Hejlsberg, the creator of C# and typescript is a great example.

    He created two major modern languages, take typescript alone, there are tens of thousands of developers who work on just the tooling for typescript between eslint, webpack, react, angular, etc.

    BrownianMotion , to technology in The best air fryers for 2023
    @BrownianMotion@lemmy.world avatar

    I just want to say, if you have an electric oven… you have an ‘air fryer’.

    Usually electric ovens have indirect and direct options of heating (upper elements for example, compared to ones hidden in the back closer to the fan).

    Granted a tiny ‘air fryer’ might do something a little quicker. But I struggle to see their benefits if you have an electric fan forced oven (all electric are). Its an additional $100 - $200 for no real benefit, other than something else you have to clean. And I’d argue that cleaning an oven tray out of the oven is much easier (granted I have a dishwasher) than baskets and oil catchers etc, but can you put those parts of an oven fryer in the dishwasher? ( I use cheap cookie coolers on an oven tray if I am going to cook something like chicken that would drip, keeping the pieces crisp.)

    If your oven is gas or coal, then absolutely - get the Air Fryer.

    d3Xt3r ,

    As someone who has both a regular full-size electric oven and an air fryer, I use my air fryer a lot more and would 100% recommend it.

    • It’s not just quicker, it’s a lot quicker, considering you don’t need to do a 15 minute preheat like regular ovens. On the other hand, my air fryer only needs 2 minutes.
    • Saves a lot of energy - I mean, who doesn’t like to save energy? Especially when I want to reheat stuff, I’m done with the air fryer - even cleaning it - all in the duration a conventional oven would take just to finish heating up.
    • In my experience of cleaning both ovens and air fryers, I’d say an air fryer is easier to clean, simply because the surface area is a lot smaller. Sure, you can put an oven tray in the dishwasher, but don’t you clean the rest of the oven? As for an air fryer, you may be able to put the tray/basket in the dishwasher, depending on the model, but even otherwise, a couple of quick swipes with a paper towel does the trick.

    In saying that, newer tabletop electric ovens also double up as air fryers, such as the one by Breville - so if you have the space and don’t have an existing oven, get one of of these I’d reckon as they would be more versatile.
