Who said anything about balls? Tho a frozen NERF dart is probably even more dangerous. Therefore, it's BETTER!

But if he's driving an electric car he'll only be able to get like 100 miles away, and that place probably doesn't have good EV infrastructure either

@dcon I couldn't figure out how.

@Magus said in The Official Status Thread:
@dcon I couldn't figure out how.
Our bitbucket/jira/jenkins setup is set in a way that we can't not run tests. And we can't checkin unless we have both a clean build and tests pass. It's not 100% perfect (because merging 2 working branches does not guarantee a working combined build), but it works well. (Don't ask me how, I don't do build infrastructure!)
-
@anonymous234 Working on it but not because St Elon said so.
-
@dcon so with classic tfs, you have two choices: gates that require a build to accept the check in, or simply build and report failures.
We need it to be that first way if people are going to be causing problems like this, but those people get to press the stupid checkbox that shouldn't exist.
This is the one thing I truly liked better in azure devops git: you have way more easy control over that policy.

Active cooling and heating for batteries is a thing. For quick charge to work more than once a day you need active cooling. If you don't cool the battery during a quick charge you otherwise have to wait several hours for the battery to cool down.

We're probably not far from an electric car mandate, because I don't want to pay $75K for a car that's going to get 2 miles on a charge when the battery turns 3.
When they're saying that a battery has a certain lifetime then they don't mean: "Will be completely and utterly rendered inoperable after that date / amount of charging cycles" but only a "has at least 80% of its original capacity remaining."
You've never had a smartphone? I've seen iPhone and Galaxy batteries reach the point where a charge lasted 20 minutes and the batteries weren't even 3 years old.
I've also seen iPhones which still had usable battery life after six years. So?
Yesterday, the news interviewed a Japanese man that was 112 years old. Therefore, James Dean also lived to 112.
The point is that most electric car manufacturers offer 8+ years of warranty for the battery.
That's nowhere near enough. The average service life of an automobile in Finland is 21 years. And rising.

@Magus We have:
=============================================================================== It seems that this transacton did not pass a full review cycle yet. If transactions result in failed regression tests or review feedback, you will be the default assignee of these. =============================================================================== Are you sure you still want to continue?
And another similar one for having a passing test run.
It actually works pretty well, though that may be in part because people do get chased if they ignore it unduly.

Mine has AUX jack and USB in the glove compartment. Trying to charge wife's iPhone from the USB plug resulted in the car being recognized as a USB-headset by the iPhone, and all audio coming through the car radio until unplugged.

Mine has it under the the climate controls and it's very conspicuous. Besides, I don't want to use Alexa for music, I want it for... whatever else Alexa does, and still run music through the normal head unit.
Since I have still not yet found any use for Alexa, this is a rather extremely low priority. Lowever even than crafting the Autobots badge for the front grill.

We have a whole thread for IoT insecurity, do we not?
And if you have the car itself connected to the same network for some reason, then you risk crashing the integrated car-control computer when the cameras start DDoS:ing a third party.

When your phone battery dies, it doesn't cost $5000-$7000 to replace.
And the cost to keep a "normal" car running is what? You're forgetting that by getting rid of a lot of moving parts you're also massively reducing failure points.
You also kind of neglected to look at the price development for batteries.

I'm not assuming that, actually. Why would it need a route to the internet? Most consumer routers qualify for the IoS awards, so drive-by hacking hotspots via WiFi is a thing that exists.
Besides, the whole comment was a joke anyways, based on the obviously false pretense of assuming that his car has WiFi cameras. Every car has a traffic camera now, but most of them are not connected anywhere. And nobody would interconnect stuff via WiFi inside a car. But he said that he wished that his car had Ethernet, so I decided to try to run with it...

Insecure on the wifi side (as in anyone can log in) does not imply it's not bound to the external internet connection only, or even that client isolation is disabled. Though there may be an online liability aspect.

And the cost to keep a "normal" car running is what? You're forgetting that by getting rid of a lot of moving parts you're also massively reducing failure points.
You also kind of neglected to look at the price development for batteries.
On the Tesla website, the default is to apply "estimated gas savings" to the car's price. Because A) electricity is free and B) dealers in Fantasy Land accept estimated gas savings in lieu of dollars at purchase time.
And you're forgetting that a Tesla still has lots of moving parts. The vast majority of parts I've replaced on normal cars also exist on electric cars. Sure, there's no $10 filters or $20 oil to change but that adds up to $300-$400 a decade. What you're really comparing is the $4K engine or $3K transmission to the $7K battery plus whatever it costs to replace electric motors when they burn out. Outside of the CEO/SillyValleyIT bubbles, that's a major expense on top of a significantly higher purchase price.
But, really, the here is that the electric car was just one version of "the market likes to offer stuff I don't want."
