I'm more pissed that Cal Cunningham couldn't keep his loving dick in his pants and Schumer elevated him. We wouldn't even need to worry about Manchin (except if he teamed up with Sinema) if it wasn't for that dumb bullshit.

Gideon in Maine less so, apparently she was just more of a terrible candidate listening to poll numbers that turned out badly wrong.

Edit: still looking good

There is a part of me that wonders how the Georgia runoffs would have gone if control of the Senate wasn't on the line and Democratic turnout wasn't turbocharged. Like, if NC and/or Maine had flipped, would Warnock and/or Ossoff still have made it through? It's impossible to say.

Either way, gently caress this would be so much easier with a 51 or 52 D Senate.

Double post for more Manchin, which is what all of you of course so firmly desire:

Cautiously optimistic most of the noise coming from him is just that, and he'll go along with the final bill regardless of his verbal objections. I'm actually low-key more concerned about Sinema, who has much less electoral pressure to be lovely but still is somehow.

Turns out that building a hard limit on your vehicle's computer controls is a terrible idea. Ars has some more technical information.

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2021/01/tesla-told-to-recall-158000-models-s-and-x-for-faulty-touchscreen-mcus/

quote:

The problem concerns a component in the vehicles' infotainment systems, called the Media Control Unit. Buried within the MCU is an 8GB eMMC NAND flash memory chip, which can only be written to a finite number of times. Once this number of read/write cycles is reached—something that takes between three and four years depending on how much the car is driven—the touchscreen dies. And unfortunately, that's a real problem in a car where the touchscreen is the way almost all the controls are accessed.

More details, the fuckup would've been in the system design years ago. Through constant software updates they're at the edge of the flash and ram so have no options (and no option to overprovision the flash more).

From a shop thats doing resoldering and other mods for less than the $1800 Tesla wants to fix the issue by replacing the entire console:

quote:

Does replacing the failed hardware solve the problem? Only temporarily. Cotran told InsideEVs:

“This ensures that the eMMC chip will last much longer than the original. But we also plant scripts on the computer which write logs to a RAM drive instead of to the eMMC chip.”

Using the RAM was also something Hughes decided to do.

“Tesla can do like I do on my cars and move the logging to RAM to trick the system, but this penalizes performance a little since RAM is limited.”

ps:

Linux loves to make logs for everything too, so that loving thing was generating a couple hundred MB of logs for a trip to costco.

quote:

There is no escape regarding the root cause of the issue: excessive logging. And the only one able to address that is the manufacturer. Hughes told InsideEVs:

“Tesla needs to just disable syslog on all vehicles unless specifically required on a development car or to diagnose an infotainment issue on a specific car. There are absolutely zero reasons to log hundreds of MB per day to a small built-in flash chip.”

Not going to lie this week is starting smoother than I expected it would. Feeling somewhat good about an administration feels weird after four years of...yeah.
