Ontopic The new car-seching thread

[Mr. Argumentor]

that one, i dont recall. But google says ... yes

Wow, and their solution to it was super-dumb too "In the summer of 2020, Tesla introduced an MCU with a 64GB eMMC chip instead of 8GB"

So same wear write problem, just way more slack to eat up before it dies, rather than switching to a better technology

Lifetime buys suck when you've got management who are sucking the lean manufacturing dick and are like "you seriously need to buy trays of 1000 USB controllers? that we're just going to keep in the parts cage for a couple of years? that's not very lean/kanban/whatever-other-buddhist-bullshit-term!"

We retired a product a short while ago that had an MCORE processor in it. Good riddance to that shit.

now imagine if you also had to justify nitrogen storage for all of em.

 

[gee]

wait a minute, the same teslas that were bricking because they exceeded the maximum write cycles for some flash memory onboard?

That's a stupid software design problem at least, can't blame Tesla's choice of silicon for that.

And in other news, I want one of these stickers, and might get my friend's shop to make a few.

I can't imagine introducing problems on purpose when you have a system that works.

Why am I not surprised to hear you say that. Shouldn't you be compiling south bridge drivers on BSD right now?

If the goal is to produce a system that works the same, day in, day out, for years on end, and you already have a system that does that, why change it?

Adding complexity never, ever results in a more stable system.

Why change? Well a good example would be today. Keep on keepin on tho Gentoo!

Update (Yes, I design 2D shit in OpenSCAD too - it does SVG export!)

Having a heck of a time figuring out what font they're using on the original sticker. Franklin Gothic Heavy is the closest but the serif on the G and apostrophe are still wrong.

And for the uninitiated:

Yeah, because a transient shortage justifies a design change?

@APRIL Can you identify this font

 

[gee]

Gave up on font finding website and used Trebuchet MS for the main font. $5 CAD cash for 10 stickers from the little decal/sign/t-shirt shop in my town, laminated and everything.

Now I guess this means I have to actually wash my car...

 

[gee]

Oh if anyone wants one dropped in the mail, PM me your address

Alternatively here's the artwork if you wanna get them made yourself. I went 10cm / 4 inches wide.

Blast it with piss

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

I need to find a decent sticker place near me. I've got some decals I want to make for my shop lights as well.

Blast it with piss

I borrowed a pressure washer off a co-worker that I've been using to clean my deck, and the thing has a little detergent tank on it you can fill up that it mixes in.

hmmm.

If it's a gas pressure washer make sure you use 45° or wider fan head.

Gotta use quality piss in that detergent tank. None a that hobo piss.

hobo piss is the best, because it's the most fragrant.
