Are these deaths only in this gang war?

Really puts in perspective how atrocious American cities are for gun deaths…. This is barely the typical first quarter of the year.

Yup. And now the founder is rich when he really should be in jail.

Oh my god. Absolute dumbasses at the record companies actively trying to act evil. Barely anybody will stream these and it sure isn’t so malicious of the ‘store’ selling these records is doing it for free.

I mean how many people are actually going to buy these ever again? Also their damage claims are per usual pulled from the oceangate depths of their ass.

If anyone remembers when torrenting was big and the riaa was essentially claiming something like 20%+ of the US economy’s value in lost profits. These people don’t munch on crayons, but they really should start because it would be a more intelligent hobby to take up.

Yup. This is really the worst part. I am a village idiot. So if i do it at home that’s fine.

But then again the shit I see at work sometimes…

Yeah they do. The device current issue is one of time. If they coded it properly they could keep the pi asleep at almost all times, but seeing as they used one in the first place I have my doubts.

Essentially it would make the scooter drain from just sitting vs being able to sit for weeks until a rider hops on.

I swear they probably followed an instructables to found the startup…

But why not an ESP32 or something that’s really well supported but better matched to their use case? Rpi screams ‘I read an article on how to connect my leds to Wi-Fi once’ levels of competence.

But I suppose if it was a half baked grift of sorts then it checks out haha. Even if that grift was more of an egotistical and not intentionally sourced grift.

This is what I mean. It’s not like they are running some kind of image processing or literally anything heavy.

Just seems way over the top. Also my bet is it they didn’t bother with bespoke hardware they probably didn’t do much to power optimize.

This is such a terrible application. These things would drain their battery just running the pi and electronics. Why such a high power platform for such basic functionality?

This screams of free money flooding startups. Amateur hour.

Cheat code pcp for god mode.

Straight to jail.

Yeah and they broke bots which actually were core to certain subs. The quality of say Buildapcsales isn’t what it was.

Yep. I also didn’t think this would work as well as it does. Remarkably good platform so far.

This is actually awesome to see. Sadly the main thing holding Linux back is still just momentum. And for a lot of people MS word. Even if the free suites are pretty good nowadays.

You don’t have to have merit to file a lawsuit. You can try to intimidate or bleed a defendant out.

But this is also how you end up with stuff blowing up in your face spectacularly.

I’m betting one dude in the study renovates his house and he had asbestos containing outside walls or something and now J&J is making a show of it.

We shall see, but I wouldn’t be surprised this is more of an intimidation tactic than anything.
