i am harry posted:speaking of the fcc every day that I drive past a section of the town south of where I live, around the same area each time, basically either at the top or bottom of a series of large fields and a newly erected neighborhood) my car audio gets all stuttery, cuts out, sometimes CarPlay crashes I have the same problem at a spot in Montreal, suspiciously close to the hospital. This post reminded me of that annoyance so I went to look up how to report radio interference in Canada, and... https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/spectrum-management-telecommunications/en/safety-and-compliance/interference/solving-interference-problems quote:While Industry Canada at one time conducted investigations to identify and locate sources of radio interference, we no longer provide this service. The changing climate in government has caused us to re-examine our role, and consequently, we no longer provide those services that are non-essential or simply, more appropriately delivered by the private sector. The indentification and location of interference is one of those services. yeah sure, the private sector is exactly who should be enforcing shared use of the commons, great work Canada

Nothus posted:Toyota is taking a page straight from Tesla's book. It's $10 a month or $99 a year to subscribe to their connectivity service. The remote services for my Mazda become a $99/year subscription after three years. I'm sure BMW and Mercedes do similar things. I think the only thing Tesla charges a monthly fee for is the "premium connectivity" stuff that uses internet over cell phone towers. This is objectively more evil.

I'm sure BMW and Mercedes do similar things. bmw, vw-audi-porsche and Mercedes invented and perfected cars as a service you have to pay for automatic head-on bright dimming in bmws, have to pay to unlock things already installed in the car like rear seat heaters and dual side climate control they just lock it out artificially thru software and remove buttons, same wiring harness Never buy a car with anything you have to pay to unlock already on the car or a subscription for functionality, poo poo will inevitably break

they'll also detune the engines and stuff like that, it's cheaper to produce one model and remove the good stuff than to have parallel assembly lines running same with a lot of video cards and processors btw

Glumwheels posted:My dad bought a new Highlander hybrid last year. Last night he sent me an email about a subscription service renewal and today he called me angrily that his screen is blank in his car. Apparently the navigation and infotainment screen runs off the cloud and you have to pay monthly for it. It has CarPlay but he’s saying that’s not working either so idk what the hell is going on. tell him to look around aftermarket mechanics, they have to break into ecu software, they might be able to break into the stuff that doesn't have to get its data from toyota most of it is working with stuff already on the car or only requiring basic Internet connectivity that's locked behind an auth handshake, they know 99.99% of people won't ever try to get past it so they don't lock it down as hard as they could

Salvor_Hardin posted:This is partially true but silicon wafer fabs will also do binning which drives different performance classes. thats the same thing tho just as a manufacturing consequence instead of intentionally degrading part of the product line they're taking the flawed products and classing them into lower price points instead of throwing them away but the only manufacturing line is for the top performance version

Retromancer posted:I think the only thing Tesla charges a monthly fee for is the "premium connectivity" stuff that uses internet over cell phone towers. This is objectively more evil. Tesla's "standard connectivity" strips away a lot of the infotainment unless you tether the car to your cell phone's hotspot, and even then it lacks certain features. Also, they only guarantee standard connectivity for 8 years. lmao at BMW really cranking the rentseeking up to 11, though

the milk machine posted:yeah only computer people would do that Most of the true believers are in the non-engineering sectors at the startups in my experience, IE product, marketing, recruiting, etc etc etc For the most part engineers are just there to type on the keyboard until money comes out and tend not to give a poo poo what the code, per se, does. I'm relatively unique in that I'm not willing to write the code that turns the orphans into the missiles; most engineers give so little of a poo poo that they'll debug the "deploy nuclear missile" button if it gets them a salary and bennies.

If you work in marketing basically your entire job is to drink koolaid You must submerge yourself entirely within the koolaid. You must dream koolaid. You must become koolaid.

I swear the NSA exists to insider trade and find kompromat on the handful of powerful people where that might actually matter. Though IDK what kompromat even is in a pro-Trump world. Boebert got her titties sucked and vaped weed in the middle of a theater and nobody gave a gently caress because she's just allowed to do that.
