  • Tesla driver here.

    When I first heard the announcement that they were going vision-only, I thought ah shit they’re boned.

    I replied on maybe a Reddit thread (?) that there was no way it’ll work up north in any kind of snowy conditions, and people called me an idiot etc

    Fast forward a few years later, when I got to experience it first hand. Anytime I drive the car at night, warnings pop up on the screen like “front left camera is blocked or blinded” Cue Surprised Pikachu. In the snow, sometimes it can’t even detect a road.

    I tried the free trial of FSD and, while it’s a neat gimmick, I think I was able to make maybe one or two short trips (2km) without needing to disengage it.

    It was really bad






  • We bought an HP laser printer a few years ago… it drives me crazy in that when it goes to sleep mode, it never recovers, meaning you have to power cycle it to get it to respond again. Once it’s power cycled, it’s … fine, although I curse it anyway since it’s 2024 and how can they still make printers that still do this shit.

    Anyway.

    In Windows, on my wife’s and kids’ Windows PCs, it works most of the time but was a huge pain to set up with the stupid apps.

    On Android, it works most of the time after setting up stupid apps.

    On my Linux desktops, it worked perfectly out of the box on both of them. I couldn’t believe it. One desktop is Manjaro and the other is Mint
