Get a scraper/brush and keep it in your car.

Use it before you start driving. Don’t just clear a “porthole” to see out of. Clear the snow off the roof too. If you don’t it’ll fly off and hit the guy behind you or it’ll slide down over your windshield.

If you don’t have your scraper, a credit card will work in a pinch for the windshield.

Don’t pour hot water over your windshield to melt ice. At best it just doesn’t work, at worst you’ll crack the windshield

If you’re new to driving on icy/snowy roads, get a sense for how/when your car will break traction. Find an empty parking lot, accelerate a bit and then brake increasingly harder until you start to slide. This will give you a feel for the conditions under which you’ll lose traction to brake. This is also a good way to learn how to recover from a slide.

smh Apple playing 5th dimensional chess again making stupid design decisions to get the all important lemmy advertising for free.

Tim apple is truly a genius

They were talking about warehouse workers, not corporate employees.

No rank and file US-based employees at Amazon are getting years of severance. They don’t do that.

Kirkland anything (nearly anyway)

Firefox can do without Google being the default fine. What they can’t do without is all the money that Google pays them to make Google be the default.

It’s a race to the bottom.

Yes, you can decline to opt in, but the guy next to you (or the guy next to him) will opt in and sell his AI voice package for less than it costs to employ a real person. And unlike a real person, the AI voice package can work 24/7 on 10,000 productions at the same time.

If anyone can opt in, then no one can really opt out.

Is this a good thing? For the bottom line of the people making the games, sure. And maybe 3% of that savings will trickle down to the consumer.

But it’s pretty bad for the voice actors.

Most (maybe all) age discrimination statutes only protect people over 40 so may not apply here depending on the specifics.

The board has given no real reasoning for why they fired him. Until they do, there’s no reason anyone should consider this anything other than an internal power struggle that resulted in a coup.

And Sam didn’t have a job anymore. Why shouldn’t he go work for Microsoft? He was pushed out of OpenAI, is he contractually bound to never do something different?

Did musk hire expertise? Or do the actual engineering?

It sounds like your actual argument is that neither he nor they founded the company.

I guess it just sprang into existence on its own…

And thanks to you as well!

Thanks dude!

Sorry, what are the *arr apps? Not familiar with that stuff…
