Manufacturers and dealers dont tend to make service bulletins and the high level stuff available to the consumer unfortunately.

I want an AI/LLM that has been trained exclusively on the technical documentation and a haynes manual for a make and model of car.

“Hey AI, how do I change the fuel filter and what tools will I need?”

While I agree in principle you will never catch 100% of the bugs pre-launch, has there ever been a game that didnt need at least a few patches in the last 20 years?

Id be keen to read the exact wording of the clause “Dont say anything negative” and “dont say anything negative without talking to us first” are very different statements. I can understand the devs wanting a chance to say “Yep, we know about that and it will be fixed pre-launch” or “Ill put in a ticket to get that looked at ASAP” to the playtesters before they trash the game publicly.

Its also a playtest.

I’ll tell anyone who will listen not to buy a car thats been developed on a new platform for at least 3 years to give them time to find faults in the design in real world conditions. If your playtesting or in early access you are literally playing a prototype, a bunch of content creators spouting off about how its a buggy mess could put a stink on the whole project that people will remember even if its perfectly polished by launch.

Yeah, but… the food part.

If you sorted out the methodology one person could staff a changeless truck, you start giving change thats a lot of time.

The biggest bottleneck on both of them these days is getting the heat away from the cpu and into the cooler fast enough. Unless you’re de-lidding your cpu, using a peltier or some other lower than ambient powered cooling theres probably a negligible amount in it.

This is the kicker. They are a pretty good solution now, but they could be amazing.

At least in my country they need to hammer out a consistent set of rules and laws regarding their use. Last time I checked the vast majority of them are effectively illegal because under current laws they are too powerful to be considered an assisted pushbike, you cant register them as a roadgoing vehicle because they dont have indicators and brake lights and you cant ride them on the footpath because riding on the footpath is against the law.

Which puts them in that lovely legal space of “Does a cop want to fuck with me today?” Fortunately our police tend to be pretty cool on the subject because they know that technically taking it out of your house is illegal which is dumb.

God I’d love some money.

I was there, I seent it!

Nobody ever got Dysentery or Cholera from poop flavored chocolate.

Also who TF sits down to a big bowl of coleslaw? Its a side dish. You pair it with shit.

Julienne apple slaw and spicy pulled pork.

Candied pinapple slaw and jerk chicken.

Elevate your cullinary game folks.

In Australia the limit is 4 per year before you have to apply for a motor vehicle traders licence, but thats per person. The official paperwork on a few of mine may or may not have have had my flatmates details.

Im curious as to how they figure out the difference between title flipping and just some guy selling a car.

I flipped cars for a few years. Im a pretty good diy mechanic.

The amount of people who cant be bothered scraping off stickers, and giving a car a good detail astounds me. Take the car home, wash it thoroughly, detail the engine bay and interior, and if you have the skills change the oil, air filter and coolant. Those were usually good for a few hundred per flip but the bar to entry is low, anyone can do that.

Also buying cars with 4 steel wheels with bald tyres and finding a set of cheap alloy wheels with good tyres that someone was flogging off were also a good flip if you could find the wheels and tyres cheap and negotiate the car down. “Mate a set of tyres is $600” when you can find a legal set on nicer wheels for $200.

The best ones were nice cars with 1 big problem, “needs a new clutch” or “blown head gasket” made a few grand off those usually because I could spend as long as I needed to to do the job on the cheap by myself.

Its a $10,000 fine if you get caught de-catting a car.

Also we have the whole defect notice system, which I’m pretty sure the US doesnt have. We actually hold the end user accountable.

Damn near every aftermarket automotive part I have ever bought contains some variation of the “This is not intended for use on street vehicles, offroad and race use only” somewhere in the description.

I can cut out my cat and weld in a piece of 2 inch pipe and I just created an emissions defeat device… I can fit an oil catch can, if I plug the breather tube back into the intake its legal, if I vent to atmosphere its not.

I mean, people who “roll coal” have no sympathy from me but this case is nowhere near as cut and dried as a lot of people think.

And then a shitload of contractors to repair the 1000 bullet holes in your house due to the massive overkill of shooting roaches.

Nice accuracy tho.

I’m willing to work my ass off under pressure and make mad bank, I’m also willing to do a fair days work for an industry standard fair wage. I am not willing to work my ass off under pressure for an industry standard fair wage, or even a good industry wage. It had better be fucking bank.

I think a lot of them could go elsewhere, make more and do less, but I think some people just thrive in that kind of environment. I’m one of them, I hate when its slow at work. But also sometimes… every few months we catch a few dull weeks and NGL as much as I hate it, I need it.

The whole “Trust me bro” thing comes from when they released their backpacks. They had issues with some of the zippers and people wanted to know what the warranty was. Linus said they didnt explicitly have one but that he would look after anyone with issues. When people got a bit rightly pissed about this, he got a bit defensive. “Trust me bro” sprung up as a meme out of that whole saga.
