It might even have an oil quality sensor, it's done by doing a dielectric measurement of the oil so it's pretty cheap. They aren't nuanced, but they are better than nothing. Mercedes likes them a lot, so Chrysler learned to like them too. There is one on our '06 Sprinter. It's also an oil temp sensor.
I'm almost positive my uncle is also on a community well, if not his own personally well. There's no outside major pipe line going into the mountains there.
OK, but I've actually lived where I've been on spring water with a sewage connection, and where I've been on well water without one and using septic, and meanwhile I had to get internet via a local WISP. So while the water and sewage needs can sometimes be handled locally, the internet needs cannot and never can be by definition. But also, the internet is much easier to bring in, I can't reasonably send water through the air (though it does arrive that way sometimes) and I certainly don't want to airmail my sewage.
In some scenarios, your best bet would be more cell towers or satellite, especially if the alternative is attempting to blast or bore through rock.
That's really important to Morlocks, but not so much for the rest of us.
Why all the escapism though? Isn't it only happening because of things we're not addressing and are in denial about at a lower level?
Push buttons require that you see them, turn knobs you can feel.
That's also an overgeneralization. There's lots of push buttons that you can feel your way across. My 240SX had a bunch of them.
It also assumes voters aren't dumb as stumps. Democracy doesn't work for dumbshits.
you don't find it suspicious at all the his comments immediately get modded up and posts pointing out his errors get modded down instantly?
People are sick of this stupid trolling shit, so no, it's not suspicious at all.
Microsoft differentiated itself from slower-moving rivals by being willing to embrace (etc.) the hot new thing. Now Windows is on most desktops and we mostly use office, despite both being shit. (Yesterday, Windows 11 forgot how to pop up right-click menus from the taskbar and office forgot how to open new windows, while I actually had RAM free... I love rebooting!)
As such it makes sense to AI all the things since that's what stupid people have latched onto now, and there's no shortage of those.
Sorry, no, any touch screen interaction is requiring you to look at what you are pointing at.
Not sorry yes, you're going to have to look at those other things anyway.
Accuracy is not "extreme" on a site for nerds.
Pretending something isn't nonsense makes everything worse.
Touch screens are fine as long as you have physical controls for HVAC and at least volume. You can wait to change the radio station.
This. The Pinephone was worthless when it was released, let alone later on. I'm supposed to buy a worthless phone?
I don't think AI only dumbs people down, I just think it feeds people's proclivities.
If I look stuff up with AI (sometimes I give up and do it because the search engines are all so shit now) then I double-check what it shows me and I learn unrelated things in the process.
If you look stuff up with AI and just say "duhhhh OK" and repeat what it says then yeah, that's going to make you dumber.
So basically the people who were getting smarter looking things up without AI can still be getting smarter looking things up with AI... if they know how to think critically.
And why should we subsidize bandwidth over reach?
The idea was a future-proof connection, so we weren't paying for old and busted.
Shouldn't Starlink and satellite have the same access to subsidies than Google Fiber, considering they enable people to have internet that otherwise couldn't at all?
No. That doesn't mean they should have no access to subsidies, but they are also substantially more expensive than other options.
Let me also say here that we should nationalize all of the telcos because all of them stole hundreds of billions from us that they were supposed to use to provide high speed internet and gave it to shareholders and executives instead.
Granted it's in a different discipline, but the instructor having to use AI to write backs up the claim that people are forgetting things by using AI. It's a bit ironic for other reasons, but still supports the point.
Honestly, if you want to live in the mountains in bum fuck no where, you can't expect society to provide you a fiber connection. We don't even provide those people with sewer connections for precisely the same reason.
Well, no. The two things are very different. Data leaves down the same "pipe" it came through, while sewage systems and water supply systems are both separate (you hope) and VERY DIFFERENT. They have almost completely different considerations in every department. Also, if you live in the sticks, there's no real drawback to not having a sewer connection.
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.
