Regarding the Honey scam, this is exactly what tons of malware has been made specifically to do. Before ransomware became the mainstream, affiliate code hijacking was one of the most popular goals for malware targeted at home users. It's still somewhat common today. My point is, it's not different just because it has a company's name on it- this is literally malware, and them (or anyone else) trying to describe it as anything else is malicious at best. This won't happen, but Honey needs to face the same Computer Fraud & Abuse Act consequences as everybody else for pulling this stunt.
Its like the scene from the classic Simpsons episode where Mr Burns cuts off the power to the town because the workers are striking. He goes through all these security measures to get to the room where he shuts off the power. When he gets there and there is a screen door into the back of the room.
I worked for ASUS back in the late 00s. They started becoming increasingly out of touch after they were forced to split into 3 companies. The service company “Pegatron” got a VP who was very anti-American. He thought we were stupid and didn’t know what we needed in computers.
re: quantum, I think the whole point is you can tell when someone has measured your entangled particle before you have. so if NSA et. al are copying all your bits (including quantum) then none of them will come through coherent, and you can then know for sure that someone is copying all your bits. no idea why anyone is calling this "teleportation" that's stupid
Range is a major issue with EV's repairs are expensive as well. The hidden cost seems to be insurance however, youngest brother bought a Tesla last year and his full coverage on this this is over $300 a month. He has good credit, he makes good money, is a respectable member of society with no criminal record. $300 a month, this coming from a 2009 Accord he previously had which was less than $40 a month liability. I think the high cost of repair is driving up the insurance, and with a business model where you lend vehicles to random strangers those variables must be dramatically effecting the cost of ownership for them.
My last job was with Konica Minolta. They let me go with severance and the explanation that most of their clients were starting to move away from printing and they were trying to shift to doing IT work. I don’t foresee printing being a thing too much longer.

For using your phone while driving, would you consider using Maps with it in the cradle be 'using your phone'? I dont use my phone while driving as in texting. However I wonder if all people who answered have the same meaning of 'using your phone'.
I honestly find the modern touch screens in cars WAY more distracting than I used to find my phone stuck in a holder. Partly I think because there's simply no standard way they operate. You're constantly trying to figure out how to change a setting or swap which phone it's connected to, or even change the dang volume on some of them.
It's wild that a site as massive as youtube seems to care not one bit about its users or channel owners. It's such a universal comment I hear from people who make videos.
At 7:45 I believe Wendell is referring to Micro Fission, and not Micro Fusion reactors. We just achieved ignition in fusion - I don't believe there are any practical micro scale applications of it outside of weapons yet, right?
No judge? No proof? No warrant? _Wait a minute_ you mean, I could fabricate a fake request to take down someone's Minecraft server by saying they're hosting and sharing copyrighted material illegally to knock them offline? *_Nice!_*
6:33 we had an office room in our previous house with those segmented glass squares and I printed out two pictures of pepe the frog and taped them to the door from the inside so before you went in you would be stared at by that silly frog. Ah, high school. And 2016.
EV maintenance cost here in the UK is cheaper than a traditional ICE vehicle - Range anxiety is a thing, however, pre-planning, prevents, p@ss poor performance (plan the route). I have a 2 year old EV with 20,000 miles on the clock, no issues on traveling long distance.
I had the Christmas.exe thing on a gaming laptop that I hadn't used in a month or so and that freaked me right out when I started it up and found that running.
I print mini memes and tape them to my students' quizzes. Sometimes just when something they wrote amused me or directly calls to a known meme format, but often to try to shame them into studying. I've gotten to use "I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul" twice.
Bought a used car from hertz. They told me they have a corporate policy where they have to sell at certain mileage (around 50k). I wonder if their ev fleet is hitting against that?
Even if they were 3 consecutive words in a memo, and not having been used anywhere else in that particular combination.... They're 3 English language words. In a memo. Copyright exists for the entire memo, and even parts of it. But not 3 words.
6:20 In the office we do have a meme wall. If you are crazy, we are crazy right there with you. Digital frame is _not_ a better solution. There is zero reason to introduce electricity into the mix when picture are concerned. 8:35 Focus on efficiency. I rarely go above 30 seconds, even on a number two. There is zero motivation in doing the deed quickly if there are distractions available. 🧡💛🧡
Got into a discussion w/ my insurance agent family member. he said I was on luigis side, a killers side. I told him its either that or be okay with millions of people dying from denied claims and the profit made from that. I was okay till he said “it is what it is”.
I deliberately don't delete my device data when I upgrade, it serves as a backup. If I ever get rid of it then yes, I'll factory reset it and remove the SD card.
Yeah I noticed that. I think maybe he's referring to the "small modular [fission] reactors" that the likes of microsoft say they WANT to use to power their datacenters? (Those aren't ready yet either)
I have the meme of the girl pointing at the camera holding a card that reads 'Guess who's living through the biggest psychological operation in the history of mankind?' hanging in my hall just as you exit the bathroom. Happy new year, Everyone
11:30 Please keep in mind that fleet vehicles do not qualify for warranty, which is probably why they're dumping them, repairs for EVs are extremely expensive if not covered by warranty and insurance. You can get a warranty for fleet vehicles, but many of them are not transferable, but many vehicles are considered "as is" for fleet/commercial use A simple fender bender with only cosmetic(looking) can be over 10K because of the higher level of sensor use and integration. Edit Sell me an EV that is just an EV, not a supercomputer on wheels just as complex as a base model sub $20K gas car, just with a pair of electric motors, one for each solid axel and a battery with a good BMS. Just, like, bolt a 50KW motor to a G80 auto-locking differential and use that both in the front, and back axel with support for steering(would allow for a higher end model to use 4 wheel steering)
Hertz and EVs: they bought a lot and very likely distributed them to areas without good charger support Cannot understand why MS is not releasing their own Linux distro already.
I wouldn't rent an EV waiting an hour at a random charging station or having to plan in case a station is ICED vandalized or general down for maintenance seems like a headache I don't need in my vacation.
they're good if it's just a one or two day business trip which what they were intended for. problem is the rental companies went balls deep on buying them when they should have only bought a few per location. but ultimately it comes down to charging costs. even if the renter charges it before taking it back they still need to be charged to 100% which costs the rental companies out the arse.
@@sirmonkey1985they don't need to be charged to 100%, most had policies of 90%+. The main issue for Herz was Tesla is really bad at parts and maintenance. For rental, you can't rent out with a dinged door or if giant panel gap and stuff, they have to wait on Tesla response for it. It's why EV headline is a bit misleading, it's Tesla specific.
And while in an unfamiliar city. EVs are just being pushed far too hard for purely emotional fantasy reasons. They may eventually be technically mature enough for fully generalized use (If not replaced by something better in the mean time.), but it needs to happen more organically without the market distortions.
Oh heck. Does this mean the people behind the NEWAG rev-eng project is going to get bonked for expressing a variation of triple-D in one of their presentations? The words were _Deny, Deflect, Derail._
The Asus Christmas thing happened to my tower. I had my monitor set to my second pc, and turned on my tower, only for my RGB to be going all crazy like (its usually set to one static color). Caused great alarm to me at first. Then it did its Christmas thing. It was skippable to show desktop but i thought i'd let it do its thing. I did think, F** asus man, what is this garbage. Scared me for nothing. On the note of armoury crate. I dont think its that bad a program in general. I usually just have it in the background to see real time monitoring, and occasionally use it to check if there's driver updates for my motherboard that could be useful. Its a bit more "all in one" than in the past from what I can tell. They put "Aura sync" into it, for the RGB control.
Wendel would be correct about his free speech thing if it was the government or a person in government. That is the hard cut off for the 1st amendment protection for your free speech. Everyone else they can take you to court over what you say for whatever reason and the 1st amendment isn't a defense. Now will they win? Most likely not on the first image but maybe on the second all depending on how they present the case.
That, and they're expensive to buy, and difficult to sell second hand (due to concerns about the battery). They'd have been making a loss on them even if people did want to use them.
I checked Hertz used cars site. There's a 2023 Bolt 1lt (low spec) for $13,225. That's ~$2000 less than I got my 2017 Bolt Premier (2nd highest spec) for back in 2019. There's a 2022 Tesla Model 3 base for $19,594. 136k miles on it, but you know all the bugs have been worked out if it lasted that long. Sadly no Ioniqs. I think that's what I want if/when I get rid of 'Beverly'. For now I'm quite happy with my Bolt though. Musk stinks, and Tesla is anti-worker and anti-consumer; but their cars are generally pretty neat.
Rental electic cars are not a good idea because there made from aluminium and hard to fix . And realy bad for the environment and because There are Fire Hazard.
so centralization of data for transactions and movements that has the possibility of being hacked by bad actors. what happens if the bad actors expose child traffickers? they are really smart you know. i like it. whats the worst that can happen? i dont know.

Happy newyear yall! I will be watching this tomorrow morning
Starting the year off with a good one! I wish all the episodes would be like this going forward
hertz problem with the cars is the repair cost for the batteries and collision damage cost are stupid high.

happy new years!
You guys make somebody who’s interested in electronics, fear electronics 🤘🏻 love the show
love from Quebec and thx for you show happy new year
So many companies I won't buy anymore. ASUS was my go-to for years until they started pulling crap. PNY, Lenovo. OTOH ASRock... just rocks!
Its even worse with cars there is about 3 companies I'd buy a car from versus 30 I wouldn't drive if you paid me.
ASRock - proudly manufactured in Northkorean labor camps

Same, old car I use my phone for maps, but don't touch the phone.
New car it has android auto, but would argue that's basically the same.
I honestly find the modern touch screens in cars WAY more distracting than I used to find my phone stuck in a holder. Partly I think because there's simply no standard way they operate.

I will never not be impressed by Ryan's ability to find the segue lol
I watched the first few minute of this video on my phone, sitting on the toilet, first thing in the morning.
"Nooooo, please don't uninstall me!! I dont want to die!"
I live in small town I can’t go any of those app gig-jobs. Guess gotta go back to do some fencing.
The particles are quantum entangled - why the cable?
Bought a used car from hertz. They told me they have a corporate policy where they have to sell at certain mileage (around 50k). I wonder if their ev fleet is hitting against that?
Those three words... are a book title. So even if those appeared somewhere in an internal memo, there would be no actual legit case.

Hertz selling off their EVs is probably due to the cost of replacing the batteries.
