Germany’s car industry is losing its famous Vorsprung – and it can’t all be blamed on Trump and tariffs
  • You have no idea what a pain in the ass it is to develop even a fraction of a car. I have seen the madness first hand. Everything is specified precisely, tested, protyped and tested again. Pretty much every part, microchip, piece of software, you name it. In addition you have designers wanting stuff certain ways, cost cutting and so on.

    Now take that, put some old farts in exec position into the equation and imagine you want to totally change how cars work. They may be convinced you are right at this point, but now you need to rethink and adapt all processes, develop and specify and prototype tons of new stuff, integrate that with old stuff, build new supply chains, test all that and repeat.

    Comparing a company to a containership was always a great analogy. The current situation is attempting a 360 with one at full speed. Startups have the advantage of being build arround new ideas like centralised computing, autonomous driving, modern entertainment systems etc. They have disadvantage when it comes to cost, quality management, distribution, volume... That said, the technological advantage is very pronounced atm.

    I'm sure we will get there eventually, but it will definitely take some more time for the Germans to fully catch up.

  • Are you hardened Linux user?
  • You know, I think it's kinda weird. Chatbots are all the hype and yet people hate terminals. Maybe we just need a very over-engineered terminal that insults your pitiful attempts at bash before they are cool again.

  • ah yes, windows defender
  • Tbf, you could use portable / user installs (if everyone would actually do their apps right), you can (now) use a package manager and you can (sometimes...) get an official, verified version of an app through the store and even if not, installers are (usually.....) signed these days (although criminals do apparently get signatures too........)... And then this all falls apart, because you need a random driver from a random website. Security 👉👉

  • Elon Musk joined Trump call with Ukraine’s Zelensky after US election
  • Funny how this reflects exactly my train of thought.

    Oh god, what if that asshat runs for president next?

    Oh, wait, isn't he from Africa or something?

    pew

    Wait, doesn't his buddy run the country, his party and the supreme court?

    *panic intensifies*

  • How Good at Math Does a Programmer Need to Be?
  • I totally agree. I think maths should start with games in elementary and cover history and applications as soon as you enter middle school. (Keeping games of course, how is there no redstone in the maths curriculum?!)

    And I know that my rambling won't convince people to immediately shake off the system induced maths fatigue, but I'll never stop encouraging people to give it a second chance :)

    www.ndr.de Katzen stellen Staubsauger an - Polizei rückt aus und ermahnt die Tiere

    Anwohner in Bremerhaven hörten Krach aus der Nachbarwohnung. Dort öffnete jedoch niemand die Tür - und sie riefen die Polizei.

    Katzen stellen Staubsauger an - Polizei rückt aus und ermahnt die Tiere

    Endlich mal fickend qualitative Nachrichten.

    > Zwei Katzen haben in Bremerhaven einen Einsatz der Polizei und Feuerwehr ausgelöst. Wie die Beamten mitteilten, alarmierten Anwohner eines Mehrfamilienhauses in der Nacht zu Mittwoch die Einsatzkräfte, weil laute Geräusche aus der Nachbarwohnung sie um den Schlaf brachten. Vor Ort öffnete den Angaben zufolge niemand die Tür, so dass die Feuerwehr sie aufbrechen musste. In der Wohnung fanden die Polizisten aber keine Menschen - sondern zwei Katzen, die es offenbar geschafft hatten, den Staubsauger einzuschalten. Die Beamten schalteten den Staubsauger aus und "ermahnten die beiden Vierbeiner mündlich, sich für den Rest der Nacht ruhig zu verhalten", so die Polizei weiter.

    Seagate Skyhawk HDDs faulty / low quality?

    Hey, so I have brand new HDDs I intend to put in a btrfs software RAID. They're Seagate ST4000VX016-3CV104 4TB Skyhawks. Workload is basically write and forget, I will probably never delete a thing.

    However I decided to test them first and noticed that after writing about 160 GB, some SMART counters have gone up significantly. Read error rate went from 6.632 to 90.238.872 for example (seemingly all correct by hardware ECC), seek error rate from 143 to 87.661.

    Am I reading things correctly? This does not seem like the way healthy drives should behave, does it? It similar on all of them tho. Are they just trash-tier drives they somehow got to work with ECC?
