That’s actually a lot more trolling than I would have expected from time magazine lately.

So is person of the year going to be Musk this year? Or are they going to go with some pandering and give it to “all former federal workers”?

My money is on some form of the latter.

Except Aaron was being prosecuted for pirating open scientific papers. He was being heavily pressured by the FBI and was facing serious fines and jail time.

It’s less surprising that he took his own life in that situation. I know less about the OpenAI whistleblower, but it seems much more suspicious from here.

Cheaper components and manufacture to use a dedicated microcontroller to run PWM to dim the LEDs than something like a 555 and transistors to change its logic/capacitor path to vary brightness.

They even may use the same micro for charging lipo batteries, not sure since there are dirt cheap chips for that too.

The fact that people have bothered to modify such basic firmware is pretty funny though.

Lots of it is tied to the ecu now, which can’t be tampered with if you live in a state with emissions inspections.

I’m planning to when stuff starts failing though. And I will likely be installing a homemade OBD2 reporter so that it’ll keep passing.

I don’t live in CA though, I wouldn’t mess with it then, the do tailpipe confirmation, and deeper inspections for CARB parts.

Delivered in hexagonal truck, trains, and ships.

It wouldn’t if they’d make the sides flat. Hexagons pack nicely. Except the edges I guess.
