  • If taking Cybertruck to an automatic car wash is necessary, Car Wash Mode closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, and walk-away door locking.

    Doesn’t seem too stupid to me. The rest of your link looks mild enough too, just don’t use anything harsh on your exterior or the steel won’t look its best any more.

    Then again, I forget the sort of rich person who buys a Tesla is also probably the sort of person who cries if it doesn’t look brand new every day, so yeah - sneeze and your beloved car is irrevocably besmirched.



  • How did Arch get this bad rep?

    Because so many people love it and make a point of its ‘brilliance’, so it’s funny to take it down a peg.

    Myself, long ago, I moved from Arch to Ubuntu partly for ease of downloads on bad internet in Asia (in-country package mirror, and obviously less downloads overall); and partly because I didn’t want my time and mental energy to be ‘on call’ for a random breakage from an upgrade. Breakages were occasional for me, and normally easily fixable, but took immediate time and effort.

    I still think Arch is great, but I’ve got through some distro hops to end up currently on Mint, from wanting stability + a couple of binaries that are published for Ubuntu and not other distros.

    Was tempted by NixOS or Guix, but… not just yet.






  • First one that got me was the black hole. If I dig a hole in the ground, is that not really a hole? If I find a hole in your logic is that not a hole? If I model the flow of charge with positive ‘holes’ between electrons, are they not holes? And… do people really commonly think a ‘black hole’ is a traditional sort of hole? ‘Hole’ seems a perfectly reasonable name for what it really is.

    Now what a black hole really is is fascinating stuff, but not in a “see, people are so ignorant to think it’s a hole” kind of way.
