I use my AirPods daily for 5-6 hours and still only have to charge for 20 minutes once a week. It’s really not that big of an issue

And that’s all that passion is. You asked why electric drivetrains don't invoke the same kind of passion as ICE drivetrains, and I gave you an answer.

Electric cars can be objectively better, and I’ll still prefer to drive an ICE.

Because electric drivetrains are boring.

The soul of a car almost always comes from the engine. The experience of driving the car is massively impacted by the engine. All of that is gone in an electric drivetrain, replaced with basically a go button.

I’ll never have an interest in driving an electric car as a road car, let alone as a race car.

It is. The corn is all dying and is so monogenetic that it is all susceptible to the same diseases.

I think they’ve generally started hiring people to only handle online orders, or that’s how it appears at my local stores.

That doesn’t make the point irrelevant, it makes it even more likely to happen. Most of us don’t want to play on shitty, self-hosted servers and I’ll gladly remove that option to have a more secure game server.

Hot take, but games don’t need to be active for decades. Everything dies eventually. After 10 years there’s no need to keep running the game servers.

Oh they teach it, most people (honestly including myself), just don’t care.

I really couldn’t give a shit what license code I write for work is under.

Only major problem is when software is reused for future games and releasing server binaries makes attack vectors much easier to find. Apex legends has a major issue with this where a significant amount of code was reused from previous games that have server code available, and hackers have absolutely used it as a testing ground for all kinds of cheats.

Definitely one of the Liveries of all time

Not a huge fan, but tbh I haven’t been a fan of a mclaren livery, special or not since 2018. This just continues that trend

The reason I consider this sloppy is because he altered default behavior. Done properly, an injection like this probably could have been done with no change to default behavior, and we’d be even less likely to have gotten lucky.

Looking back we can see all the signs pointing to it, but it still took a lot of getting lucky to find it.

I’ve always considered the “source is open so people can check for vulnerabilities” saying a bit ironic, because I’d bet 99% of us never look, nor could find it if we were looking. The bystander effect is definitely here as we all just assume someone else has audited it.

This is a huge wake up call to OSS maintainers that they need to review code a lot more thoroughly. This is far from the last time we’re going to see this, and it probably wouldn’t have been caught if the attacker hadn’t been sloppy

I think it’s completely fair to move the Middle East races to a time that won’t conflict with Ramadan. There was no reason they had to overlap, and should probably be applied to any kind of major religious holiday.
