The first thing is something ICE vehicles also do. A BMS, figuring out regenerative braking, and maybe one or two other things are the only things that need to be different. Car makers have shoved all the software they can into EVs without the experienced developers to do it on the hopes that they can fix shit in the future and charge subscription fees for it.
Software that is completely unnecessary. There is zero reason a battery powered vehicle needs to be much different software wise than an ICE. They do not need 20" touchscreens packed with a custom infotainment system written by hardware focused developers.
I could forgive VW if they actually did something to rectify the bullshit they pulled. Instead, the EV charging network they were forced to build out, Electrify America, is absolutely the worst of the bunch and frequently has at least a third of the chargers not operational. If I had to pick least favorite car companies, it would be between them and Hyundai/Kia. Hyundai/Kia would probably take it because they were the only brand who was dumb enough to not have immobilizer in their cars which has led to high theft and the other bigger reason would be them frequently being caught using child labor.
RISC-V still has a ways to go before it usable for much.
Sorry. When I said “both,” I meant Google and Samsung. Apple definitely has better security, ocassionally to an annoying extent.
You can fairly easily factory reset phones from both. While you can report your phone as stolen and the IMEI will be blacklisted on US carriers, it would probably work fine abroad.

Not specifically, no. When I did change to building my own NAS, I cracked open my older 4TB backup drive to use as a spare.
Wow. Mao’s idiotic Great Leap Forward dragged down the entire world’s life expectancy.
I’m lost with what I’d need to do to access my server from outside my local network, and terrified of doing something wrong and leaving a hole open so any hacker can access my server. I’d like to do it some day, but I’d rather have a safe local network than screw and get my data stolen or deleted.
Setup a VPN via Wireguard or Tailscale. I personally have not done that but I have VPN setup through OpenVPN which I did not find that hard and people say that is significantly harder than Wireguard.
The other (less safe) option would be to setup a DMZ on your network for stuff you want to self host. That is a bit more involved though. I went through it for fun and setup a public Nextcloud instance along with DDNS and a reverse proxy. I was just messing around though and shut it down after testing performance.
I was wondering why I couldn’t get to it yesterday.
Reminds me of the time Microsoft unleashed their AI Twitter account and it turned into a Nazi after a couple hours. Whatever straight out of business school idiot who thought scraping the comments of the armpit of the internet was a good idea should be banned from any management position. At least it is a step up from scraping 4chan, I guess.
Jesus. I didn’t even think of that. I could totally see that being a big part of why it is giving garbage answers.
Then how would they compete with the other big search engine pushing AI that nobody wants? /s
The Azov Battalion does not run the country. I hate to break that to you. The neo Nazi elements of the Azov Battalion were pegged from it, BTW.
Putin, however, did put two Nazis in charge of the sham breakaway regions he created.
Alexander Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky were both very clearly Nazis and both were installed by Russia.
As for ballot stuffing:
Anybody claiming that was a legitimate election is not arguing in good faith.
I don’t recall WP or NYT articles about the US giving money to Russia for an invasion…
Leading up to? Cherry picking a small time period is not a good look. Decades of Russification and displacing Crimean Tatars (and straight up starving them) damn near eliminated them from the peninsula for years. In 1989 Crimean Tatars made up 1.6% of the population compared with a third 50 years prior. After a couple decades with Ukraine, about 11% of the peninsula are Tatars now.
Ukraine had an election. They elected Zelenskiy.
Russia has sham elections that are fraught with ballot stuffing.
Russia installed several Nazis in the areas they occupied.
It totally makes sense to have a bunch of elected non experts go through the minutae of federal departments and how to implement policy. /s
