I checked out chargepoint.com and there are lots of J1772 charge stations, but no Tesla.
I don't have an electric car and I don't know the difference, but charger standardization seems like it should be a big deal. There's a reason we use the same connector for copper ethernet on all products.
Nope. Not at all. Technology is a big subject. Contrary to what seems to pass for tech knowledge these days, phone apps do not comprise the entirety of technology. The size of a user base doesn't really count as a technical matter. Here's a contrary example: The key agreement protocol used in a messaging apps are gloriously technical. I can prattle on about the authentication and key agreement protocols in messaging apps all day.
Accusing people of ignorance based on transient criteria, now that's a character flaw.
Still makes no sense since the whole point of companies merging is to combine assets, of which customer data is an asset to both the separate facebook and whatsapp companies, and the new combined company under facebook control.
You don't seem to be familiar with European data protection laws. It's your data, not theirs.
if you are so tech illiterate to not know what facebook or WhatsApp are then don't read the story, tech is not for you.
Not so fast there. 30 years in the tech industry. Designing leading edge silicon products. There is no future in light entertainment for me. WhatsApp is just another program that runs on a phone. It's entirely reasonable to not know what it is, while knowing you could find out if you needed too.
So both parties, the FCC and congress have changed their mind on who's job it is. Where it stood a month ago was that the FCC had decided it was their job and were doing it, presumably because congress had not done it, presumably because it would compromise considerable funding streams from large telecom companies to senators and congressmen or their anonymous proxies.
A coordinated government would coordinate the passing of responsibility from one place to the other.
Enforcing net neutrality is actually an important function of government. I travel a lot and the internet does indeed suck in places that don't have enforced net neutrality laws and those problems are ameliorated by using a VPN.
the other thing no one is asking is why wasnt this enacted by congress to begin with? rather than deal with the past 2 years, why didnt congress do its job before???
Because it was the FCC's job, which the FCC just chose to stop doing.
I have a four or five year old Trendnet switch whose web interface doesn't render properly in Chrome, Firefox or Edge, so I have to use IE unless I want to go telnet or ssh. So there is definitely embedded legacy applications where IE is still needed, but that's about the only thing left that still forces me into IE.
Many electronic locks contain an old school relay. These can almost all be opened by putting a good strong magnet it the right spot.
Hotels should keep a supply of rare earth magnets, as backup keys.
I once demonstrated this to a hotel staff member who couldn't get into the room next door. The irony was that I was staying at the hotel because there was a lock manufacturer's conference downstairs and half the people in the hotel were capable of bypassing the locks. I suspect the hotel member couldn't get in the door because the occupant had disabled the electronic lock. Spend a few hours with an electronic lock in a fixture on your desk and a screwdriver and you will learn how secure they are.
That's why I use Sci-Hub when I need to find an old paper I wrote.
When I need to find an old paper I wrote, I look in my filing cabinet. But I'm old school that way.
Hmm, I keep electronic copies on my computer. Each to their own.
But the version on my computer is 15 different versions. The one that actually made it into the journal is one of them. That's the one I want to provide to whoever asked me for a copy of the paper. Sci-Hub only finds the journal version.

To all those that can afford a Tesla but not food, nor a charger:
https://www.tesla.com/used
You have your priorities mixed up.
I just looked. With the broadest search terms they had nothing for sale.

Wifey wants me to get a Tesla, but haven't finished with the 350Z yet and I'd prefer to be rich enough to get the new roadster.
Never said nobody would do it, only that it was a bad business decision.
Nope. TCO of a full electric car is less than a petrol or diesel car. Especially if you drive a lot.
Sarcasm is lost on you I guess... Who would use a tesla to drive Uber? It would be a Horrible business idea...
I took a Tesla taxi from Tucson to PHX a couple of months ago. They (husband and wife team) drive for Lyft & Uber when not doing the airport run.
She stopped and charged half way while we got ice cream at the ice cream shop next to the super charger.
Beats a sweaty shuttle bus any day.
>but saying you don't know what facebook, WhatsApp, office, Linux etc is completely contradicts that.
At no point did I claim not to know what Office, Facebook or Linux is. I use all three every day.
Inventing things other people didn't say and criticizing them for saying it is an even bigger character flaw.

Us old techies use signal anyway.

What a stupid retard this guy is, my self of steam is so high knowing I'm smarter than at least some one
Yes. I know the Earth isn't flat. I had to walk up a hill the other day.
Did it make your self of steam better?
That's the steampunk version of me. Ignore him and his bolted on gears.
Decades in use and the UI still still sucks ass. Its like its "designer" had never seen a gui application.
I'm sure someone out there can do like Mozilla and make it look like Chrome.
PS - noobs are the only ones who even notice the GUI. "Oh noes! This GUI is different from the others! I'm confoozed!"
Works for me. Right click on the icon and the usual addresses pop up.
Is there some infinite supply of water in the middle of the disc? A wall? Why aren't there any pictures of the edge?
Geolocation. The cameras on phones are disabled when you get that far out.

So ssh in.
Perhaps so, but these thorium reactors are not fast breeders. I think they are, techinically, slow breeders.
Rabbits had it sorted out aeons ago.

Changing editors can *totally* mess up the whitespace.
If you don't know how to operate your editor.
The kids are all into lensing.
> So GOING TO THE EYE DOCTOR PERIODICALLY TO TEST FOR VARIOUS DISEASES IS A GOOD IDEA. Thus, the requirement for a prescription for eye wear.
Oh no! Your FUD is causing me to think I must give my money to an optician. Something might be wrong!!! Disease! War! Famine! In my eyes!
I worked for FortiNet,
Their code is crap and they know it.
They are trying hard to rewrite most of it, but it's years of effort.
Fortunately it doesn't take years of effort to stop using their products.
Humble brag lol
Is writing a paper brag worthy? It's part of my job.
