It's self-selecting. In order to be here in the first place, you have to give a shit enough to ignore the big corporate social media sites in favor of finding and using this one.

FPV antenna, and it's not really a VR headset, just a monitor in some goggles that receives the video transmission from the drone. Hobbyists that do racing and aerobatics have setups like this. It's big and flat because it's designed to be highly directional to cover the most distance. The video runs over 5.8Ghz, and the control signal over 2.4Ghz.

Edit: found it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Soaying-Triple-Antenna-5-8GHz-Pagoda/dp/B0CWG8DKJT

As long as the head gasket is still good, oil seals are good, and piston rings are good, everything around them can be replaced at home with a Haynes manual, except maybe the transmission and any welding work on the exhaust.

Just did a timing belt replacement in the driveway on mine, good for another ten years now.

when they don't have some sort of white noise in the bathrooms

Would it help if I sat next to you going "shhhhhhhhhh" as we poop together?

The engineers who work for him know engineering. Elon fancies himself an engineer, but he comes across as someone who knows about as much about aerospace as any kid after a few rounds of Kerbal Space Program. I've listened to his technical interviews on the Raptor engine and other stuff, he just spews pseudointellectual boilerplate you can get from any generic sci/space YouTuber.

When doing zoom calls for work I do it behind a curtain. Nobody sees my home at all. Then I cover the cam when not in use. These are just common sense privacy measures we should be teaching them anyway.

At least there's a small chance I'll see warp drive happen within my lifetime either way.

I mean yeah, I don't watch porn on an office computer at work after all. They should have their own devices for all that stuff. School devices = school-related activity only, no more.

That guy Parin Dalal seems like the only one who has anything to do with tech at all. The rest, yeah all IP specialists. He probably acts as their advisor so they don't look like complete assholes.

you would have had to be on the Web very early indeed to remember when it was entirely static

Correct. My first web browser was Mosaic. I was using it on my Dad's PC in 1994 at 12 years old.

"It was just so hot in that voting booth!"

The muscly wolf man ripping off his shirt next to me didn't help matters much either.
