Windows 10 actually ran ok with all the aero effects turned off on my Mac mini core2duo T7600 & 3.25gb ram, wish I could have gotten 64 bit running though.

Yeah I know what it is, and how it works online, but when it’s used with YouTube-dlp does it actually download the whole video and mark the skips, or does it skip downloading those parts entirely?

Does it mark the sponsors for skipping, or completely not download the sponsor sections? Once in a while I’ll actually watch those ad spots from a few creators

You can’t fix bad chemistry with a towel. (Insert your own toweley meme here because I can’t)

Nvidia’s borked solder balls is what caused this. The company’s handling of the situation is why Apple stopped working with them, and only used AMD/ati until Apple started making their own.

Normally they just pull right off.

Depends on how it’s powered. If the electricity comes from burning coal (coke) or methane, that would emit co2. If it runs off solar/hydro/wind it would only emit co2 from any carbon trapped in the iron ore that manages to burn instead of becoming incorporated into the steel.

Mr. Deeznutz is a good, hard-working, god-fearing man. You need to keep his name outta ya mouth.

Look how deep it is, it’s probably an older rear projection (pun very much intended) with 480i

Was this text to speech? Either way, upvoting for old hosed F

Honestly it’s not even that popular, at least not relative to slim-fast in the 90s

No spelling mistake, just someone tired of getting pink eye

Wouldn’t surprise me. They want nukes to protect themselves from Russian invasion, and that’s probably making Vlad a little nervous.

The second factor is a factor just not a common one, which is why I listed it second. I’ve never personally seen a wiper motor die, but I have seen the transmissions break, and wiper blades that get torn and wiper arms get bent in (extremely) icy conditions. Your point about most drivers being distracted & driving like shit kinda makes it a bigger concern, since there’s no way distracted drivers would notice the additional wiper of a “'self-driving”’ camera has gone bad or gotten bent.

I don’t disagree with you on the other points though. There are NO level 5 fully autonomous self-driving cars currently, only pretenders that give people who can’t pay attention a false sense of security.

I’m not on the production/manufacturing side so I could only speculate on the costs. The entire industry’s use of the windshield mounted cameras would suggest the costs are lower. Even at the ultra high end like Bently, where there’s plenty of profit margin to experiment with, they’re still using the windshield mounted cameras.

The other factor to consider would be that the driver can very easily know when the windshield wipers aren’t working (an therefore ignore or deactivate suggested lane departure corrections), but a tiny wiper mounted above the roof would be impossible to see while driving.

Yes, a design decision initiated by Tesla and a trend the entire industry followed outside of a few autonomous taxis that have the lidar units on the roof.

However, the alternative requires a separate lens cleaning system as the former just reuses the windshield wiper. So it does reduce the complexity somewhat.

Or maybe I’m missing your point entirely?

The cameras that track the lines on the road and other cars are mounted to the windshield. these windshields are more expensive because the camera brackets have to be precisely aligned and the glass (in that area) must be completely free of optical distortions. Both of those things raise the price of the windshield, and increase design complexity

You’re not technically wrong since they were just early to the party with driver assistance & Lane departure warning/avoidance systems, but since the USA made those types of systems mandatory for all cars in 2023, most vehicles 2023+ will now have a similar cost.

Since you’re out of words I’ll just leave a few here for you:
