Estimating the state of charge on a lithium battery is extremely complicated and difficult. And they stopped showing the numbers earlier because they didn’t want you to see how inaccurate they were.
Nowadays, the models are better and more sophisticated, but the tradition continues.
Don’t forget the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. (and KFC).

If the business collected the costs from you and then forwarded them to CBP while acting as your agent, then you can demand a refund from them or sue them.
If you agreed to purchase goods for one price while also agreeing to pay a separate “tariff reimbursement fee” in exchange for purchasing the goods, you’re probably shit out of luck.
Various shades in between might be arguable or litigatable one way or another.

Sounds like that might have been a screw up on their part.

For example, here’s the form if you shipped something over the border using UPS and paid an illegal tariff to get it released from customs.
Most of those “permissive” licenses require redistributors to redistribute copies of the license texts in derivative works.
But I bet these AI models aren’t doing that. And it’s a damn neat certainty that the vibe coders who use the AI model are not attaching a license disclosure containing every permissive licenses in GitHub. Even if their vibe coded app is arguably a derivative work.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Dual booting was just wasting precious disk space anyway
6·1 month agoWindows, on the other hand, is a hybrid kernel, which means some functions are managed in user space so that a program has more control over the hardware.
Windows and Linux are both monolithic kernels, in the sense that most device drivers run in kernel mode with kernel privilege. They’re not like Mach or Hurd.
Windows outsourced their device driver development early on to the hardware manufacturers, and they encouraged closed-source drivers with separate source trees and builds. To facilitate this, Windows NT developed a system called plug-n-play (PnP) which searches for and loads driver modules (.sys files) from disk into the kernel.
Linux developed a similar system of loadable kernel modules (.ko files), but their system arrived much later. One reason is that Linux’s GPLv2 license mandates that driver source code be licensed under compatible terms. That and Linux has always been pretty open about accepting driver code into their main source tree. Finally, manufacturers were never interested early on in writing Linux drivers, so the driver development was being done by the community, which was already using the Linux source tree.
So Linux didn’t have as much pressure to develop a loadable module system. So they did it later.
To the present day, the majority of Linux device drivers are submitted to mainline Linux and go through the Linux review process. Windows drivers are mainly developed by third parties, but they do have to go through the Windows Hardware Quality Labs review and testing process.
Apple writes all their MacOS drivers internally, because they are also the hardware OEM.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•OpenAI's Codex app has 70% GPU usage while it is “thinking” due to tiny useless animation
3·2 months agoI thought the joke was that the bug reporter didn’t realize the machine is doing its “thinking” on the GPU, in addition to maybe animating a singer.
Apparently TF2 added a “community-generated” map last week that was not only broken itself, it broke other maps too, causing game crashes.
The issue was a model of a row boat that was added to the official game in 2009. cp_premuda was added to the official game in July, 2026. But Premuda is a lot older than that, and it references a version of the row boat model that is older than what was added to the game in 2009.

2·2 months agoYour car radiator is actually using convection to convect heat into the air.
The spacecraft radiators use radiation to dump heat by emitting infrared photons. Photons do not require a medium. This type of radiator works by maximizing the area of hot surface exposed to empty space (which has an effective temperature of 3 K). They have to be pointed into a dark area and away from the sun. There’s no advantage to fins, because you want to maximize area perpendicular to the dark sky.
Both devices are called radiators, but they are different kinds of devices.

4·2 months agoSolar sail effect is going to be dwarfed by regular atmospheric drag in low earth orbit. At perfect right angles the radiation pressure on the panels is 4.5 micro-Pascals. Meanwhile, in low orbit there’s enough residual atmosphere to generate a dynamic pressure (for drag) of 5 milli-Pascals, give or take (and strongly depending on the space weather).
So atmospheric drag is around 1000 times more than photon pressure. And the drag is big enough to be noticeable over weeks and months, requiring regular boosts to stay in orbit.

2·2 months agoThis ruling confirms that there is no other legal path to obtain that data which isn’t a warrant.
The supreme court ruling doesn’t go this far.
The ruling says that a search occurred when LEOs obtained the geofenced location data from a service provider. The case was sent back down to the circuit court to determine whether or not a warrant was required.
There are various exceptions that allow the government to conduct warrantless searches under the 4th amendment. For example:
- the “frisk” in a Terry stop to search for weapons.
- search with consent
- search incident to arrest
- hot pursuit and exigent circumstance allow police to follow suspects into a place, but not usually to then go looking for stuff.
- searches within the (generous) border zone for border enforcement
- searches at airport security and similar contexts
- public roadway DUI checkpoints and other road safety checkpoints that stop all drivers.
It’s not obvious that any of those apply to this case, but maybe they do. The circuit court will decide.
Unfortunately they are dirty as hell.
But not when the isTest flag is set. Then they’re clean as a whistle.
