As sad as it may seem, Tesla did kind of win that fight in the end. All the union employees were bought out in the end, and the strike was called off. Tesla operates with impunity in Sweden.

Rip bozo

Anything above 3 lanes is no longer a highway, it’s a mental illness

This is only really true if you have extreme throughput requirements, a regular VOD operation can get by fine on software encoding. If you have the kind of throughput needs that warrant hardware encoders you're going to want to go ASIC anyway, so regular server hardware won't cut it. Like YouTube for example had to build their own ASICs because of the downright absurd scale they are running at

Most hardware is only really true if you account for older hardware in circulation, most new hardware will be shipping hardware decoder support for AV1.

On top of this, the software decoder support is remarkable for AV1, libdav1d is a marvelous piece of software, bringing access to a plethora of devices lacking hardware decoder support.

Stop resisting is too cop-like for my taste, I'd prefer: >I once again must ask you to stay down

Reading what the law actually says, these seem to be sensible changes, bringing the rules in line with European standards.

It's owned by Salesforce. Big ick.

All of the above

What’s his motivation for something so deranged?

I guess technically it can be a 2+1 highway if you so will, but true. Still, anything above 4 lanes is dangerously close to mental illness territory

Not Invented Here includes the whole stack, including the operating system and the hardware

Under semantic versioning, you should really be ashamed of bumping the major number, since this means you went and broke backwards compatibility in some way.

Right. So I live in an apartment in the capital of my country, where transit moves far more people than the highways ever does. While we’re being derogatory, your opinion is incredibly American

I’m not sure what the implication here is to be honest - am I supposed to be the small town man in this scenario?

Delicacy is maybe not the word I'd use, but it certainly exists

You might want to get that checked out.

Given that you are the author of the project, I do consider you the higher authority on what it can and cannot do. But to me, there’s a slight distinction to be made here - Valetudo allows you to directly control the robot from a server running locally on the robot, giving you the option to not interact with a cloud service in order to remotely control the robot vacuum. This doesn’t immediately imply that the robot is directly prevented from passing information to a cloud service - just that the cloud service does not have to be involved as a command proxy. The larger feature I was thinking of was not only serving a local server to allow commands to come in directly, but also actively prevent any outgoing connections from the robot vacuum to its manufacturers cloud. Again, you are the author - you know far better what Valetudo does and does not do, so your information weighs heavier here. I guess I can also mention that I will be pleasantly surprised if my Chinese robot vacuum has actually been prevented from logging any information back home as a part of me having run Valetudo for the past years.

Remote control is the way to solve this. Non-technical people are not good input devices

Valetudo runs alongside the existing software on the robot vacuum though, does it not?

I’m not convinced this actually holds. To be able to use Valetudo at all, you at minimum do need to connect it to a wifi network which you are connected to as well on some kind of device. Unless you happen to be setting up some kind of firewalling on the robot vacuum, it is at that point free to start logging whatever information it deems appropriate.

I’m not talking about the code in Valetudo - I’m talking about the code that’s already running on the robot vacuum before installing Valetudo. It remains on the device after you install Valetudo. Basically, any concerns about privacy stemming from the original software on the robot vacuum do not get eliminated by installing Valetudo

Valetudo actively blocks the cloud connections. Are you sure about that? It’d be a pretty big feature to implement, and surely it would be something that the Valetudo author would mention in the docs for the project.
