Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks (apnews.com)

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

For many of those years it was the only electric pickup truck being advertised. And also, yes people do like the Tesla name. Musk and growing competition has done a ton to tank the reputation lately, but until just a couple years ago Tesla was far and away the best and most advanced electric car, and depending on your criteria the most advanced/best car period. Perception shifts slowly outside of well-informed groups, and the Musk hate is really only affecting well-informed left wing groups right now, so a lot of libertarian Musk fanboys are still fully on the Tesla train

In addition to what Blisterex said, the open-source hardware ethos is very similar to the Linux open-source software ethos, so it attracts a similar crowd

I think that’s part of the point? The twitchy zoomers aren’t on?

Any particular area/aspect you’re looking to improve?

Just sounds like the first episode of community with less context and more soapboxing

Aldi in the US always gives me the option at checkout to pay later, I’ve never explored it to find out the fine print

niucllos ,

Definitely not my genre, but you could try The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion? It’s fairly comedic but I think checks all your boxes pretty well, including the last two (maybe not quite hate but definitely don’t view each other as romantic prospects)

Oh ho ho, where have you been that you think they’ll hold their own side to this standard?

Not to beat a dead horse but do you know how we get/got novel variation in crops before targeted DNA technology? It mostly wasn’t wild germpasm unless you happen to work with a crop with large amounts of historically documented pools, e.g. corn and wheat. No, most historical breeding programs use mutagens, either chemical or sometimes radioactive, to cause novel variation, grow the seed, see what looks interesting and not too weird, and cross it back into your gene pool. GMOs are significantly less mad science-y than what they replace.

Funny thing is they aren’t even GMOs, they’re hybrids between tetraploid and diploid watermelon cultivars. You could do it yourself in your backyard if you can find tetraploid seed for sale, or make it yourself with colchicine

And I think Dr Who before that, although the Borg are certainly more known for it

freesewing.org has somewhat limited patterns but they’re flexible and a really cool project!

A bit of a long shot but is it maybe one of The Seven Fabulous Wonders series by Katherine Roberts, maybe the Colossus Crisis?

Is this AI written? I’m pretty sure The Thief Lord doesn’t have a mysterious disease amywhere

Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I’m a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I’ve been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and...

I thought they were all side-lit? Which is functionally the same imo but technically different

niucllos ,

You should be able to, but US non-car infrastructure is so abysmal that there’s a strong chance you can’t safely unfortunately

Hell a roof rack on my 20 year old 3 series and a ton of rope has moved sofas, plywood and pallets, and one memorable trip 5 bikes

And help one of the 5 benefits they listed?

I’m a huge Martha Wells fan but I actually find Murderbot to be one of her weaker series. Granted I only read the first two, but I just couldn’t get into it and enjoy it like I have with her other works

They don’t make it obvious at all, in fact they do their best to seem like you can’t

US funding for basic research–the type that will lead to the truly paradigm-shifting breakthroughs–has also been in decline for 50+ years as a proportion of GDP. While bureacracy could be an obstacle, the much larger one is insufficient resources to fund a lot of moonshots that may fizzle or may result in 'zero to one’s innovation, as the author states

I have an aeropress and have only ever used a metal filter with it! I’ve had normal paper filtered aeropress coffee and I can’t taste the difference

I mean they very obviously aren’t failing in droves, Disney for instance has been increasing their profit every year except 2020 for the last while.

Mirror every object. You don’t realize how many things are designed with a right-handed assumption unless you aren’t right handed. Also, most people can’t read well anymore because it’s all backwards

I don’t have specific papers but a lot of research into the origins of life on this planet go into that kind of thing! I know there have been interesting findings into using clay imprints for self replication, for instance

If you’ve ever played around with an old-style lighter (think classic Zippo) you’d get it! They’re fairly expensive, and aren’t airtight so they need to be refilled every few days/weeks. If you fill them too much they need to be kept upright or they’ll spill lighter fluid on you. Super cool and can hold flames for a while but not nearly as conventient as a matchbook for quick fire lighting
