I was just this weekend reading an article about Elmo and the "masterful gambit, sir" crowd. And just this weekend a certain country in South America had a public gathering to praise Elmo because of his comments criticizing a judge there, comments which were interpreted as pro-their-ex-far-right-president. (As it is usual with that country, they are always late to the party, dressed in the wrong outfit, and telling the wrong jokes.) |

Föderation EN Fr 19.04.2024 10:54:56 @chu @Betterifyouneil @BobLefridge @greg I think the bus your friend is referring to is CAN bus. It's used in ALL modern cars, ICE, hybrid or EVs. Basically, if your car has automatic door locks, it most probably uses CAN bus. It's been a standard in the industry for decades now. And no, a fail in a CAN bus node doesn't bring the whole system down. CAN bus is fault-tolerant, and you should really do an awful implementation to allow a non-critical node to bring the system down. |
Föderation EN Fr 19.04.2024 15:25:05 @chu @Betterifyouneil @BobLefridge @greg Plenty of cars run a data bus for doing things. Windscreen washer control on my car are all digital.

It seems to defy all standard rules of mathematics we learn in engineering school. I've studied calculus, fluid dynamics, even some quantum mechanics but none of this applies to executive compensation math. The ratios don't make sense and clearly my education precludes me from understanding this kind of complex math. |

Föderation EN Fr 19.04.2024 08:01:22 @chu The #CyberTruck has worse #QualityControl and #Craftsmanship than the fucking #Trabant P601 and that thing was a cheap piece of fiber-reinforced phenolic resin on steel tubes with a two-cylinder, two-stroke air-cooled engine that couldn't even bother to have a fuel pump but had to be gravity-fed! Yet their panel gaps were far less crooked and their cars don't get stained by rain dying up on their surface... Even the #DeLoream #DMC12 did that #Sheetmetal look better and didn't have the #rust issues... #Tesla #RustBucket #CyberRust #EpicFail #Wankpanzer #Wanker #WankerCar #SuperUselessVehicle |
Föderation EN Fr 19.04.2024 08:52:13 as one having owned a Trabant some decades ago I can tell you it's conceptually exactly what one would want when combining indivdualist transit for the whole population and some efficiency in production and maintenance: it didn't waste fuel on mass, was *completely* self-serviceable and could fit the transport needs of a small family. (fuel efficiency was only okay when regarding the simplicity of the engine) |
Föderation EN Fr 19.04.2024 09:14:54 @kami_kadse @chu Shure, also its scarcity forced the #GDR to maintain #PublicTransport networks as a necessary utility... Also yeah, the Trabant with it's low compression two-stroke just works by virtue of being for the most part 1950s motorcycle tech just with doible the wheels and a plastic cabin and steel tubing around... In fact, if it wasn't a regular 2+2 car, I'd consider it a #PersonalLightVehicle by virtue of being engineered to simplicity. |

Föderation EN Fr 19.04.2024 11:07:32 @iamada @chu I also seriously hope it isn't legal here. Cars are death machines already, but this one is so sharp and heavy that if you got driven over by one it would almost guaranteed kill you. The electrification of cars was a mistake. We should've invested in public transit instead of increasing the weight (and hence the deadliness and road wear and tear) of vehicles. Personal cars should've been banned in cities and replaced with collectively owned cars for the times you do need one. |

Föderation EN Fr 19.04.2024 12:28:49 @chu Under the divisive body, it's clearly a POS. However, I'm one of those dorks who thinks the design looks kinda cool, or did. The production model isn't massively different from the prototypes they showed off, but the slight differences make all the difference. The stance is wonky in the production model. Instead of the slightly raised back end and larger bed, it is lower and the bed is smaller and misaligned panels makes it look dumpy, instead of the aggressive look they were going for. |
