> no, they can't lock it down to 3080 level 3 years later with a software update

I think the problem is that there are 2 different types of "can't": can't as in technologically impossible, and can't as in legally disallowed.

In the past, the former was usually the case. Vendors literally could not technologically take away features because things either were not controlled by software or software could not tell the hardware apart because there were no unique identifiers. Because of this nobody really pushed for the legal protections, and as such they do not exist today (at best you _might_ be able to claim misrepresentation by the previous owner and get a return or refund, like if someone sells a LHR card as if it were non-LHR. But with a large purchase like a car, that would be costly time and money wise).

> Tesla should not have been able to do this, period.

Yeah, morally, but we need to start working to make this guaranteed legally. As it is now, "Nvidia sends me a 3080Ti as a replacement (because maybe they don't have any 3080 in stock) then no, they can't lock it down to 3080 level 3 years later with a software update" is totally allowed.

Heck, they could even cut down all legitimate 3080Tis to what would be 3080 or even 1060 performance via drivers after 3 years and you'd be able to do nothing besides complain on social media -- you still have exactly the amount of hardware sold, and they never promised any performance levels (just check their site, you only get things like compute units, clock speed, ram etc. not performance guarantees like FLOPs or FPS)

> Bit of buyer's remorse from a Nissan Leaf now that most fast-charging stations don't support CHAdeMO.

Yeah, that's a bit annoying. In the US, many(most) still do, but there aren't going to be many (if any) new CHAdeMO installations. Even more so now that Nissan itself dropped CHAdeMO in the US. The Ariya will be CCS.

That said, if you are in a city, L2 should continue to expand and hopefully you'll be able to top off during your normal activities.
A TON of hardware related things are hobbled and even retired by manufacturers in driver updates and the lack thereof now. Entire pre built computers can easily be rendered obsolete by dropping support for network cards, peripherals, video drivers, almost anything when OS updates, software upgrades, or other dependencies are issued...

Non-Technical people suffer the most from this game... The person who doesn't know how to look up and install drivers (Your Dad or Grandma) usually then needs to go out an buy a brand new computer every 2-3 years, simply because the device stops working.. A relatively easy fix to us generates billions of dollars for companies that know the system is broken, and they conveniently don't want to fix that system because it would cut their revenue.

As software permeates the car making industry, they actually wouldn't mind making all cars leased and/or disposable like computer devices, they run online campaigns on reddit against car ownership, and brigade endlessly about the environmental benefits of EVs, which still to this day use tons of toxic materials in batteries and non-bio-degradable plastics as well.

Even the madness over each new minorly adjusted variation of video card that comes out is driven by this drive to maximize company profit is quite harmful to the environment and our health, without any sense of responsibility held by the companies that drive this consumerism.

We pay a lor for these products, we need to all be better at demanding proper product support and quality, and we need to stop continually and carelessly renewing everything tech that we buy, even if we have the extra money burning a hole in our pocket... Because ultimately it's destroying us all.

Personally, I never want Meta to leverage my game usage on Facebook or any of their other platforms. I like Steam being an independent platform that has no motivation to share my information with socials - I really don't want random relatives asking me about my gaming habits.

The fact that it was made by Facebook was worrying - the fact that it required a Facebook account made it a non-starter.

For the same reason, while I do enjoy the occasional twitch stream - some of my favorite streamers have moved to FB... thus I have stopped watching them because I don't like making it easy for socials to track and broadcast my every waking moment.

> Do you think that Dell should remotely access you computer and artificially nobble it?

No. Just like I disagreed when Sony disabled Linux support in the PS3 via Firmware update (they were hit with a Class-Action for that).

To my knowledge, on of the features of Tesla is that it supports upgrades via OTA software updates. As another commenter pointed it, by treating a Tesla vehicle as a software platform, it allows Tesla to engage in behavior which is quasi normal for say a smartphone, but causes cognitive dissonance when you think of it as a car.

E.g. Apple mistakenly allowing an unsupported feature on an iphone SE, then removing that ability in a future IOS update vs Toyota disabling AWD support on what should have been a FWD vehicle SKU.

> I think you're massively overestimating the market size of people who actually care. Note that I'm not making any moral argument here, I'm not saying whether these things are good or bad.

I think we're just discussing different things here then. I'm specifically talking about whether this is good or bad for the future of society. Most people buy whatever is most convenient at the time, which is fair and everyone has done this at some point, but it may or may not the best for society.

> I know lots of people who buy iPhones and iPads because they know the odds of accidentally getting malware on it is very low compared to alternatives. To them, locked down hardware is a selling point.

It may be a bubble, but of all the iPhone users I know, I don't think any of them has bought it for that reason. Most here buy them for either being simpler to use, lasting longer, or status. Of all the Android users I know, I don't know any that has knowingly got any kind of malware, and that includes people with very old phones.
A lot of people don't like idealism so strongly that they'd rather stick with old hardware over the newest hyped-to-death shit.
It kinda sounds like the Tesla after-purchase support is less than a joy, though.
It would've been nice if the game stopped you from taking the exact same route twice.
There is actually a second catch here. A Software locked 90>60 gets less range than a native 60kWh car for the exact reason why your binning example makes no sense here. Tesla is building the same packs and locking down the hardware via software with no yield reason but more importantly, in binning a 6 core part is a 8 Core part with a defect or not.

A 60kWh battery is not a defective 90kWh pack at all, it's an entirely different component weighing hundreds of pounds less. the 90kWh pack cars eat tires faster, have worse MPGe, and overall are Ewaste.

I've have a couple hundred CDs, most of which were acquired during my college years of the mid 90's. I estimate that about two-thirds of those CDs came from churning Columbia House and BMG Memberships. I was pretty good about declining things, with only a couple unintended purchases. Including shipping, cost of the "buy 1" to get the rest cheap, and unintended purchases, the actual cost of the CDs was close to $3-4 each, which was still a great deal.

I was head of finance for a small UK ecom business, our fees were:

1% Elavon
1.6% + 20p Paypal
1.6% + some fixed fee Shopify payments (Stripe)
3% Clearpay

We paid one of these fees per transaction. Clearpay is similar to Klarna, so we were accepting some of the credit risk of our customers.

Paypal was annoying for foreign currency, as there were exchange fees, which weren't made clear and harder to convert back to GBP.

My issue with Clearpay was that it was hard to identify if it was meeting our objective, which was getting higher value orders.

if you were handed the UEFI implementation codebase like a new-hire, how long would it take to figure out this potential codepath? a couple days?

now if you were handed only the binaries, and left to objdump them etc, how long? evidently there’s symbol names since the article uses those. so hopefully no more than an extra order of magnitude: a couple weeks, maybe a full month if my manager’s asking for a deadline and i want to be conservative?

also, think about where/how they hooked: it sounds like they hooked at the equivalent of an interface boundary, where it’s easiest to inject a new implementation — but then they have to check the return address to know where in the larger scope of the process they’re currently at: if you had access to the codebase and build tools why wouldn’t you patch your exploit into the code more directly and just rebuild it? why abuse the return address like that?

i don’t mean to say it’s not impressive, but it’s not magic. there are lots of competent engineers out there capable of reverse engineering a UEFI implementation.
> If the bad publicity alone causes even a tiny fraction of the population to choose another manufacturer

Yeah, that's me. With all of the nonsense with Tesla, why would anyone do that to themselves? Just buy another car. It's not like there aren't plenty of other EV options in the world.
I'm not sure if this is what you were getting at with your last paragraph or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if people who get motion sickness from VR are less likely to want to be VR devs. And that would likely influence the type of content being made.

That's my case at least. I was so thrilled that VR was finally becoming somewhat practical now and I wanted to get into VR dev. I got an Oculus Go when they came out as a cheap test, and discovered that I get sick when my viewpoint moves in VR. That pretty much killed my desire to invest more time or money into VR development.
This was also true in the military:

At basic training, our drill instructors often said that recruits with no experience shooting weapons were easier to train than other recruits who had experience because it was much easier to teach best practices to someone who was a "blank slate" than it was to retrain best practices to someone who learned improper methods.

I haven't exactly seen this idea like-for-like in the "corporate" world, but I believe the general premise is accurate.
P2P File sharing created a renaissance whose benefits we still enjoy, but whose spirit continues to be actively attacked by vertically oriented centralizers. It's important to the health of the entertainment industry that piracy remain a viable (though more work intensive) option.

I think that one of the biggest things that Celeste has going for it is its movement mechanics. It's this brilliant system where you are given all of the powers you need at the beginning but aren't taught how to use them until completing the game (i think a lot of the mechanics are actually revealed in the B and C sides). This also gives Celeste some killer replay-ability - there's nothing better than going back to early stages and using learned movement tech to break intended solutions. I think I could be convinced to categorize that as a bit of a revolution of game design.

This is also something that Outer Wilds did really well imo.
I've been a CircleCI customer for 3 years. I'm interested in moving from Github to Gitlab, as I'm philosophically more aligned with Gitlab.

I tried out CircleCI's Gitlab integration a few weeks ago during the public beta, and it felt like CircleCI was really phoning it in.

The instructions led me down paths where the product would just break. It told me to connect CircleCI to Gitlab through OAuth, and then my first build immediately died asking for a personal access token.[0] I generated a PAT instead, and then CircleCI failed my build because it was provisioning an empty SSH private key.[1]

They had a channel for reporting bugs with the integration, but it doesn't create a real support ticket. Their feedback channel was just their public Canny feature request board. I submitted my feedback anyway, and they didn't respond for over two weeks, at which point the response was basically just, "Oh, we fixed a lot of bugs, so maybe we fixed yours. Can you delete everything and try again?"

"Nearly complete"? No matter how deep your knowledge is, you're only scratching the surface. To pick a small example, there's something like 20 TCP congestion avoidance algorithms alone (many are available in the mainline Linux kernel, and they can be picked depending on the task and network at hand), and I believe it took something like a decade of research, trial and error to solve the bufferbloat problem.

> I'll spare the moral judgements against Tesla for this [...] [Tesla's] business plan and practices is creating [...] huge cognitive dissonance in your customers

I think you forgot to spare anything.

Meh. This is a software configuration issue like we've seen before. Like lots of devices in the modern world, the cars can be configured with common hardware but disjoint behavior. You might have the hardware for FSD, but you didn't buy it so you can't use it. You might have the same motor as the performance car, but the current limit is set to long range. You might have the mobile radio, but if you don't pay for the service you won't get satellite pictures.

Or you might have a large battery, but be configured to use only a fraction. And in this case they messed up and accidentally granted a customer access to a feature they hadn't paid for. And the mistake wasn't discovered until the car got reconfigured when it was sold.

I just don't see the "ransom" here. It's a messup. No one ever paid for that extra battery capacity they enabled. Should they honor the mistake? Maybe. But we really need to turn down the rhetoric in this community.
Then stick to buying Hondas and BMWs. There is a great ad about a farmer bringing in his 100 year-old Porsche tractor to a current Porsche car dealer for service. That is true to life. Those who want a multi-decade relationship with a manufacturer don't buy from the likes of Tesla. They have not yet earned access to that customer base. Ask Tesla to fix your classic Tesla from decades past and they would probably laugh in your face.

https://youtu.be/R8-9oIq1hxw

Note how the dealer shows the customer the new part before it is installed. Note how the customer doesn't hand over the keys until fully knowing what is going to be done. Note that this old customer then decided to double down by buying a new car from the company fixing his tractor. Tesla has no respect for such concepts.

No, I don't want to send everyone who distracts me to jail. When someone distracts me in person I tell them to come back later, no jail time imposed. Someone sends me an e-mail about something but I'm not interested? No problem, I'll tell them thanks but no thanks. Call me for feedback on your product I purchased last month? No problem, if I'm available I will talk to you and if I'm not I will ask you to call later - no jail time required. You want to sell me an upgrade to my plan? OK, let me hear it now if I'm available or call me back in few hours of this is not a good time - jail free.

On the other hand, I would like strong punishment for people who make inconsiderate noise(bikes, prayers, street vendors) or directly reach me without addressing me directly(spam mails, robocalls). The problem with those is that they saturate my attention without having anything for me in it. It is very cheap for them and very expensive for me. That's why I try to make it expensive for them too, usually by engaging with them and making it unpleasant and unprofitable conversation and even making them spend money on stuff like shipping only to have it returned.

For those, jail is the civil alternative. I would be completely fine with anything more brutal, I have no sympathy. How can I have sympathy when their engagement is not a human one, its automated impersonal engagement designed to drain my time and resources for their gain.
i mean, the era of reagan was also the era of trickle down economics. it was all sorts of stupid--full of greedy, motivated reasoning, not reasonable, rational, or coherent thought.

as an independent, party affliation is a sure sign of vacuous thinking to me, where the cost of membership is leaving your brain at the door (and that's what thiel does btw). democrats are currently making this mistake with anti-federalism, trying to push through national laws that are squarely in the province of state control. this is expedient in the short run for their political careers but damaging to the foundations of the nation in the long run, as consolidation of power nationally is the quintessential threat to our democratic republic. it reeks of hypocrisy.
And, perhaps they're trying to soften the blow for the increased price of their newer headsets, which rumors say is in early stages of production.
Eh, I can take it off, so the idea does not bother me. But that first time I put a Quest 2 on my head (was the first VR headset I've ever even tried), I was giggling just for the demos alone. It's marvelous, even with the awful resolution. There is clearly so much potential there. More resolution, less mass, I look forward to it.
> A Software locked 90>60 gets less range than a native 60kWh

Yah, a little less, this is true. It also is less damaged by charging to 100%, has better regen, charges faster, and can be expected to have a much better lifespan. You could make a lot of arguments both ways for which one is better.

> A 60kWh battery is not a defective 90kWh pack at all,

The point I'm making is that most 6 core parts are 8 core parts with no defect, so the distinction becomes an artificial one for the purpose of price discrimination rather quickly.

> locking down the hardware via software with no yield reason

In addition to the market segmentation reason, there's also the much-better-warranty-yields reason, and the less-need-to-predict-what-buyers-will-want reason.
