Maybe not if the car is bricked remotely - i don’t know because I didn’t steal one of course. From a tech perspective, it’s relatively easy.

I know! But Teslas are still connected to ‘Homebase’. I’m looking at it like Apple. Steal an iPhone? They’ll brick it remotely. This does scare thieves, one way or another. If there is a thief that is able to negate all the remote interception capabilities, sure… but the numbers of the people capable of that are low.

As a Tesla owner I’m probably biased, but I do not fear these attacks at all. Thing is, because a Tesla is so connected to the mothership (and I definitely realise that’s both a good and a bad thing), chances of a thief actually being able to use or sell the vehicle are very slim. Tesla always knows where their cars are, and urning off GPS and LTE ruins 90% of the features in the car. I think thieves know this because I haven’t heard of any Tesla getting stolen and not being retrieved (but n=1).

So when I talk about watermelons I’m suddenly a loser :(?

Well, depending on state of charge, supercharging goes up to 250kW. A state of the art PC (4090, Ryzen 9 etc) draws about 850-900 watts on full load. That means such a computer would use 0.004% of available power thus extremely negligible. And the APU (Ryzen-based media system) inside Tesla’s probably uses more around 200-400 watts under full load.

I mean, the GPT model is a LLM and ChatGPT uses DALL-E in the background to create images. So depending on definition you’re both correct :-)

We’re getting there with Proton!

I concur, in the Netherlands they are rarely ‘full’. Had to wait a couple of minutes during the Christmas craziness, but that about sums up my waiting time at self-checkouts.

I’m a big fan of DigitalOcean, they’re very much geared to developers. Had a chat with them a couple of days ago and they seem good guys. IMHO way more ethical than Amazon.

BTW I’m using Arch!
