@Polygeekery And probably all that data is still available on their servers, just waiting for someone to crawl in and slurp it up. Linking it to people is trivial, since you have their entire driving history for a long time.
There's no way to tie it to an individual; it could be any Tesla owner who happens to park his car at 27 Shady Oak Drive every night.

RE: "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents
@ben_lubar said in "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents:
Or to scan your unlocked car for later 3D printing?
That sounds suspiciously like downloading a car, an act so heinous that even DVD pirates wouldn't do it.

RE: OOP is TRWTF
Some might disagree with me, but the truth is that modern OOP has never been properly designed. It never came out of a proper research institution (in contrast with Haskell/FP). I do not consider Xerox or another enterprise to be a “proper research institution”. OOP doesn’t have decades of rigorous scientific research to back it up. Lambda calculus offers a complete theoretical foundation for Functional Programming. OOP has nothing to match that. OOP mainly “just happened”.
An organic development that wasn't "properly designed" at a research institute? *drops monocle in shock*

Update: The 3D pen is very effective at welding 3D printed items together, albeit with a lot of excess material on the joint

RE: Today in Blakeyrat is always several years behind in every tech trend news...
Today I went to my local bin store and got some pretty good deals:
- 2 rolls of PolyTerra PLA, black and white - about half what generic filament costs at retail, and slightly better than half for PolyTerra
- a generic 3D pen - about 40% of the cheapest online price
- also a Victrola Journey record player/bluetooth speaker, but that has nothing to do with 3D printing
The pen had some filament stuck in it, and wouldn't move it either forward or back, so I took it apart and found that the bowden tube inside was clogged. I replaced it with a short length of Capricorn tubing and now it works A-OK

Burned CDRs are more expensive than pressed CDs, aren't they?
It turns out they had put out a line of bullshit about this:

RE: In other news today...
@Carnage Only if you produce and sell enough units to offset the initial setup cost. I'm guessing they figured that a) the target audience for Plumbers Don't Wear Ties on 3DO in 2024 is close to 0 and b) the
AVGN fanscollectorssuckers who would buy this item would just display it on a shelf rather than trying to play the game. -

TLDW: Limited Run Games, a company that releases physical editions of video games, has published some retro games for the 3DO. They sold them at premium prices ($60+ USD) and people have found that they're just burned on CDRs

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Arantor No, but typically things coming from China take a bit of time to clear customs. And before that, they have to leave the country of origin, which according to the Chinese tracking hasn't happened yet

RE: The Official Status Thread
@hungrier Today it says Monday May 6 by end of day, which still seems extremely optimistic.
