A classic situation… LEO had lots of this information originally (as well as people contributing to it - taking pictures of hotels/Airbnbs/etc), for being able to help pinpointing child abusers… but as usual, they can’t stop moving the goalposts.

The bottleneck is usually the cars themselves, especially at higher power ratings… but yep, that’s also a good point.

I really don’t know why people are so charge-anxious that so much would even be necessary… if you’ve driven long enough that you need to charge, you should be taking a 15-minute leg stretch regardless. Like, 500 kW is more than enough for normal cars. Maybe most beneficial for large trucks?

But good news nonetheless.

If you aren’t the only one with the keys, it’s basically unencrypted. Bake in your own encryption (rclone, cryptomator, etc), or treat it as unencrypted.

Like how the banks can “offer” you personal loans with 15%+ interest, even with a perfect credit score. Or like 7% for a mortgage.

Their profits are larger than ever, but it’s socialism or something if we were to expect them to have an emergency fund or something.

And in all your index funds, retirement funds, etc.

Anti-fingerprinting is a fingerprint too.

I went all to AV1 last year. Enough stuff supports it, and realtime transcoding on a (relatively cheap) Arc GPU works well enough.

AV1 is superior enough for both size and visual fidelity, that it’s worth the slightly extra encoding time. But absolutely not if you don’t have HW encoding.

And/or a distraction. “The prices are high because they’re choosing to increase it, it has nothing to do with my war”

I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.
