Sticky trick: new glue spray kills plant pests without chemicals
  • Yes that headline is extremely moronic, I don't get how you are downvoted for pointing out the headline is factually wrong??

    Just because the insects aren't killed by the toxicity of chemicals, they are captured by them in the form of glue, which is also a strong chemical device, and remains potentially harmful.

  • Estonia ‘seriously’ discussing sending troops to ‘rear’ jobs in Ukraine, official says
  • This is a pretty gutsy move by Estonia if they do that. Estonia is a small country with most of its border towards Russia. They have little chance to defend themselves if Russia is stupid enough to decide to invade.

    Obviously being a NATO member is the best protection there is for Estonia, but does chapter 5 still work, if Estonia sends personel officially to Ukraine to participate in the defense of Ukraine, even if it isn't on the front?

    I hope we will see this happen soon, I am pretty sure that if Estonia does it, other countries will follow. That's the way it's been with everything else. If one country takes the lead others follow.

  • The decline of Intel..
  • A decline is ALWAYS relative to something, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. So what is it really that you mean?

    Intel used to be the undisputed leader both on CPU design and production process. Those positions are both lost, Intel also always used to have huge profits, but has had deficits lately, that used to be absolutely unheard of. They have lost both their economic and technological lead and they have lost marketshare, So how is that not a decline by every measure?

  • Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
  • Yes because snopes is a better source than CNN, WaPo, BBC, AP News, The Hill, Reuters and on and on.

    Also he has admitted it himself:

  • Every AI in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was broken,

    Wow, I'm a huge fan of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, and I never really thought of that, but you are 100% right.
    Wonderful comment thanks. 👍 😀

  • Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
  • I have no idea what it’s based on.

    It's obviously based on other makers being ahead.

    Mercedes, Waymo, GM, MobilEye, Nvidia are all ahead, making Tesla #6 at best.

    When the Mercedes system is put against FSD it looks like this.

    Are you misleading on purpose? Or are you really that dense?

    https://www.mbusa.com/en/owners/manuals/drive-pilot

    Mercedes Calls their version of fully autonomous driving: Drive Pilot but you show a comparison to a way more basic Driving Assistant, which is nowhere close!

    This comparison shows that Tesla FSD in reality is merely a drive assist.

  • Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
  • Oh boy you are tiresome, I wrote the thread, not the post.
    But still the context of "the coming year" Musk claimed Tesla had that NOW in 2019, and it would be made available to consumers in the coming year being 2020. It's from the exact same presentation.

    Nothing you quote contradicts anything I wrote. It's just different parts of the same thing, which of course requires background knowledge you evidently don't have.

  • Germany deports 7 Ukrainian soldiers for wearing Nazi symbols
  • Bullshit. How is this upvoted?

    use of Nazi symbols, Kommersant reported.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommersant

    Kommersant is a nationally distributed daily newspaper published in Russia mostly devoted to politics and business.

    In other words Russian propaganda.

  • Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
  • Yes with Starlink which the military threatened they might nationalize if Musk sabotaged Ukraine access again.
    I honestly don't think Musk's value as a military contractor is very high, and probably (hopefully) not enough to protect him from criminal liability.

  • Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
  • I don’t see anyone claiming they have “working full self driving”

    The whole thread is about Musk claiming in 2019 that Tesla has FSD working NOW, that could drive the car from a parking lot on the other side of the country (USA) and pick you up in a parking lot where you are. AND that it could drive more safely than a human being.
    I am not interested in the slightest whether it's 50% or 90% there now, the fact is the claim was made first in 2016, that Tesla would have it ready NEXT YEAR, and in 2019 he claimed it was ready NOW! And it's STILL not ready!!

    So what is it about Musks claims being false you don't understand?

    I don’t see anyone claiming they have “working full self driving”.

    That's decidedly false, because you yourself wrote:

    It can do that now.

  • Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
  • It can do that now.

    OK? Doubts.

    Probably not with zero driver interventions

    Oh so it can't?!

    Musk also said more safely than a human being. I've seen videos with FSD creating numerous dangerous situations on a single trip, that required quick intervention to avoid collisions. Driving in narrow roads it would suddenly turn into opposite traffic (potentially lethal), not minding right of way in crosses (also potentially lethal), and even turning straight towards parked cars, when the lane it was in was unobstructed!!

    Another video I saw, it crossed at a very clear red light!! That's a very potentially lethal situation.

    There is no way it can be reasonably argued that Tesla has working full self driving.

    it completes 90% of the trips

    You know 90% isn't even close to being half finished. The next 9% are probably more difficult, and the last percent the most difficult. There's a reason the hard parts are finished last.

  • Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
  • Can it self drive? yes No

    That's like saying a car with cruise control can self drive. Although FSD is more sophisticated, it still can't.
    The Tesla cannot self drive by any reasonable meaning of the term.
    Tesla also calls it assisted self driving now. And that's obviously not because it works now, which even now 8 years later it doesn't.

  • 4 months durability for an $800 phone!

    My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones, despite the Moto had cheap Panda glass front.

    Then I bought my $800 glass back Xiaomi 13T Pro in January, and I loved the phone for the camera and good specs. But alas after only 4 months, and single drop of just 30 cm while sitting on the porch, the glass back immediately cracked! The back now looks like an ugly mess, and the high water resistance is very likely gone too.

    For sure the last time I buy a phone with a glass back!!!

    I wonder why glass back is so popular, and I curse the media for reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S2 as "feeling a bit cheap", because the back was synthetic, and drop tests showed it was 10 times as durable as the iPhone with its glass back.

    Samsung did it right in the beginning, glass backs are a curse.

    PS: I don't use condoms for my phones, if they need that for daily use, it's an obvious design flaw!!!

    The glass back is supposedly there to give a premium feel to the phone. But because it's fragile, people have to use a cover, but with the cover, the premium feel of a glass back is gone anyways? How is glass back not a design flaw?

    EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION:

    I am not clumsy, that's why I believe the phone should be able to last without cover. This was the first time the phone slid out of my packet, and I've NEVER dropped it out of my hands. One 30 cm slip and it's broken. Where for instance my Moto had maybe 4-6 in all over the years, and remained unscathed, apart from some tiny scratches. The sliding out of pocket does occur maybe a couple of times per year, but it's a low drop, and the phone should absolutely be able to handle that tiny drop, as it's an item for everyday use. I've also never had problems with scratches on my screen on any phone, which is the reason people use screen protectors I guess, which I don't either, because they are ugly, for instance they create a tiny ring around the camera, and they feel awful IMO, my phone came with it, and it took exactly 10 seconds for me to decide to remove it, because I could feel the edge of the screen protector when using the phone. But please stop with the dropping my phone regularly comments! Just because I dropped my Moto a few times (slid out of pocket) over almost 4 years! Always from low height, which it should be able to handle a few times.

    Why do Google searches not give maps links anymore?

    It used to be very convenient that when searching for something that had a geographic location, Google searches used to show a small map which linked to Google maps when pressed. Now all I get i a tiny useless map, that doesn't have any of the feature of Google maps, and often I don't even get that. Anyone know why that is? And if there is a fix? I use Firefox, but I'm guessing it's independent of browser, unless Google is up to their shenanigans again. I've added Google maps as search option, which luckily is dead easy in Firefox to do. At the same time I added Open Street Map, to minimize Google map use to maybe show them they are losing traffic.

    I considered hard weather this really belongs in Technology, but came to the conclusion that exposing a scammer that is considered a tech genius, does belong here. Because debunking a technology company is as important as showing it, when it's considered valid.

    That said, I believe most people here are already aware that Musk is not to be trusted blindly. But just how bad it really is, may be news to some.

    Russia takes huge losses with the so-called human meat wave attacks that they use on the frontline. In this video I discuss the meaning, and why the Russian commanders may see the casualties as a benefit rather than a problem.
