The lead plaintiff in the case, Nyree Hinton, bought a used Model Y with less than 37,000 miles (59,546 km) on the odometer. Within six months, it had pushed past the 50,000-mile (80,467 km) mark, at which point the car's bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. (Like virtually all EVs, Tesla powertrains have a separate warranty that lasts much longer.)

For this six-month period, Hinton says his Model Y odometer gained 13,228 miles (21,288 km). By comparison, averages of his three previous vehicles showed that with the same commute, he was only driving 6,086 miles (9,794 km) per 6 months.

Edit: I just want to point out that I just learned that changing your tires to ones of a different diameter can also affect how your spedometer clocks. So yeah, this issue is full of nuance and plausible things as to why this could not be true.

Reddit's latest transparency report reveals a notable reversal in copyright takedown trends. After years of increases, the platform removed just over 550,000 items last year due to copyright complaints, down sharply from roughly 1.2 million removed in 2023. Notably, Reddit keeps an eye on potential overreach; it declined to remove an AI-generated sports parody, deeming it transformative fair use.

Me and a Friend, after months of putting it off, finally managed to get a modded Minecraft server for me and my friends working with a proper domain and everything. I cut Aternos loose because i'm not a fan of the ads and the limited specs. The upside of this is that i now have a server powerful enough to run Eureka, which is like the old Archimedes Ship mod. One of the very first things i did upon spawning in is go and build a ship, which is what you see above.

My hope is too use it as a portable base for the time being until i can get too somewhere i'd like to build a base. We also have Create Cannons and Ice and Fire (at the request of one of my friends), so i want to outfit this thing with cannons to fight ice and fire dragons because those things are annoyingly strong. I have a few mockups for planes too, so hopefully i can get to the point where i can go over the dragons instead.

I ended up with a Leafcutter ant from Alex's mobs on my ship, so i shoved him into a seat to be the first crewmate on the boat. I figured he can be Cook or Quartermaster or something. Either way he gets to stay on the boat.

Me and my friend made quick work of the boat (we made it out of Jungle Logs so it was surprisingly easy). One of the last things i needed was a gold bar for the wheel. I was expecting to have to go underground for it, but i surveyed the area and got really lucky, finding a graveyard from Ice and Fire nearby. These things carry haunted chests which sic a ghost on you if you open it. Open it is the keyword there though, because what you can do is break the chest to avoid having to deal with the ghost. To my luck, there was enough gold nuggets in the chest to make a ingot and my quest was fortunately short lived.

My ship, which i have yet to name, has been finished though. It's a bit slow, but it fulfills it's purpose and can move comfortably around the ocean, which was the primary objective. I do wish i had turned on large biomes so the oceans were larger, but i'm sure i can get this thing out far enough that it wouldn't matter anyways.

One last thing i wanted to share was this.

Marching ever closer to the dead internet.

Status AI functions like Twitter (now X), but with a twist: all participants, except for the user, are [AI bots]. The platform encourages users to post messages, which then receive responses from dozens of fake accounts — some acting as fans, others as haters.

My new neighbour has screaming rows on the phone with people. It's better than telly!

My old neighbours had a lot of sex. Judging from her response, he was very good at it.

The entire staff of the Defense Digital Service (DDS), the Pentagon’s decade-old technology development office, is leaving by the start of May, with nearly all individuals resigning, a current member of the office confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday.

The mass exodus, first reported by Politico, means the service will effectively shutter in less than a month.

Ergebnis: Mehr als Atheisten und Religiöse gaben Agnostiker an, mit Entscheidungen lange zu zögern und zu hadern. Eine solche Unentschlossenheit ist mit Ängsten und Depressionen verbunden. Die aktuelle Studie bestätigte das: Agnostiker beschrieben sich als emotional instabiler. Außerdem suchten sie vermehrt »nach Alternativen im Leben«. Darin zeigt sich einerseits ihre ausgeprägte Offenheit, aber auch ein Hang zu Perfektionismus und Unzufriedenheit.
Das passt zu einer weiteren Eigenheit von Agnostikern: Sie neigten weniger als Gläubige und Atheisten dazu, sich selbst durch eine rosarote Brille zu sehen. Die religiösen Befragten etwa hielten sich für besonders sozial – zu Unrecht, wie frühere Studien bereits belegten. Allerdings tut eine solche verzerrte Selbsteinschätzung in der Regel eher gut. Agnostiker dagegen machen sich das Leben schwer, indem sie sich nicht so leicht zufriedengeben: nicht mit sich selbst und nicht mit einer Glaubensentscheidung.

It marks the first long-term, stable operation of the technology, putting China at the forefront of a global race to harness thorium – considered a safer and more abundant alternative to uranium – for nuclear power.

The experimental reactor, located in the Gobi Desert in China’s west, uses molten salt as the fuel carrier and coolant, and thorium – a radioactive element abundant in the Earth’s crust – as the fuel source. The reactor is reportedly designed to sustainably generate 2 megawatts of thermal power.

Some FOSS programs, due to being mantained by hobbyists vs a massive megacorporation with millions in funding, don't have as many features and aren't as polished as their proprietary counterparts. However, there are some FOSS programs that simply have more functionality and QoL features compared to proprietary offerings.

What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their non-FOSS alternatives? Maybe we can discover useful new programs together :D

I'll start, I think Joplin is a great note-taking app that works offline + can sync between desktop and mobile really well. Also, working with Markdown is really nice compared with rich text editors that only work with the specific program that supports it. Joplin even has a bunch of plugins to extend functionality!

Notion, Evernote, Google Keep, etc. either don't have desktop apps, doesn't work offline, does not support Markdown, or a combination of those three.

What are some other really nice FOSS programs?

We want to hear it!
