Reply to comment by Nanakatl in Hyundai, Kia Say They’ll Fix Millions of Easily Stolen Cars - Frustrated law enforcement and states attorneys general have asked the automakers to fix the cars that can be stolen with little more than a USB charger. by speckz

For models that have an engine immobilizer on higher trims and use that same engine on lower trims the immobilizer is likely included in every engine built but just not activated on the lower trims. A software update can activate it.

Reply to What will be the future of CAPTCHA in a world where progress in ML/AI continues at this rapid rate? by too_damn_fast

Hi, too_damn_fast. Thanks for contributing. However, your submission was removed from /r/Futurology.

> > Is it possible that one day our interfaces to a computing device such as touchscreen/keyboard/mouse requires some sort of physical verification through the use of some embedded sensors in our fingers/body?

> Rule 10 - We welcome text posts, but could you please ensure they meet our requirements for creating in-depth discussion. If yours is removed for failing to do so, consider reposting again, but with additional detail.

Avoid generalized invitations to discuss frequently discussed topics (Will AI take over the world? Is Chat-GPT good or bad, etc, etc). Instead, aim for discussion with specific topics (with supporting links if possible), and give detail to the ideas about their future implications that you would like to see discussed. If possible articulate multiple aspects of these future implications to encourage high quality discussion.

Submissions with [in-depth] in the title have stricter post length and quality guidelines.

Reply to comment by crusoe in Google Drive does a surprise rollout of file limits, locking out some users by OutlandishnessOk2452

People tend to vastly overestimate the file size of simple text-based files. Sure, 5 million files take up a LOT of space if it's all uncompressed photo or video files.

Assuming uncompressed text, using (mostly) exclusively Latin characters, 500k is already ~ 100.000 words.

The Hobbit is less than 100.000 words. The complete Lord of the Rings series, The Hobbit Included, is around 560.000 words.

5 million files is nothing when you're storing plain old text files. Won't even be remotely close to 2TB, which is 2 million Megabytes, or between 3 to 4 million times the total word count of Lord of the Rings.

Reply to Buying alcohol with NY temp ID and expired license by peachy_keen451

Liquor store employee here. Any Fine Wine and Good Spirits store SHOULD accept a temporary ID. Bring the expired one for good measure.

Whether they will or not they’ll actually accept it is another question. Each store seems to be run differently even though we shouldn’t be. Or they might not card you at all. 50/50 chance of it in my experience.
