Unless your client base is exclusively the same kind of engineer employed by said company, how could that possibly work well?


Goggle started it, I think it worked well for 1.9 trillion company as gogel


Transmissions have their own, independant, lubrication system. It's driven off the input power from the engine.


Right, and it's proposed the engine wouldn't be running.


You don’t need a transmission if you have hub motors. It’ll be sat on the garage floor, so it would be a great surprise if it was running.

I’m planning on doing something similar on my old hilux. The lack of power steering or power breaks or any auxiliary system that relies on the engine simplifies the build substantially.


His supposed kit converts a car into a hybrid, not a pure electric vehicle. You still need the original drivetrain.

> REVR is a retrofit kit that incorporates all systems required for the conversion of a light ICE vehicle to hybrid electric.


laughably, transparently poor implementation.

While using the gasoline engine, the power accessories (power steering, power brake assist, ABS!) are functional, but when the gas engine is powered off, you'll have none of them? That's going to get someone killed. And on top of that, the climate control issues -- A/C won't work, and the heat will only last so long as the gas engine is preheated and then only briefly as the coolant isn't being circulated.

The concept of hybrid is an invisible marriage of gas/electric propulsion brought to us by Toyota who perfected it in the Prius. This is just a hack as far as I am concerned. I would be more impressed if the engine were removed entirely, and this motor were bolted up to the transmission as a replacement flywheel.


Ah yes, unlike private companies and their sterling record of protecting sensitive information!


Duplicating every single record into the same place is a massive increase in attack surface and payoff for an attacker.


I'm curious about what off-the-shelf machines you would compare a fully modified gagguino. Granted, I don't have one so I'm only going off the feature set listed on the page, but short of a Decent ($$$$) I can't think of any competitors with features like flow profiles.


Well, there's no cheap competitors with (automatic) flow profiles, but there are competitors with automatic flow profiles. ACS Vesuvius, Rocket R nine one (although IIRC this one is actually pressure profiling, not flow profiling), Synesso es.1, Sanremo You to mention some.

If you're looking at manual flow control, basically any E61 group machine can be outfitted with a needle valve for flow control, and a bunch of machines come with one installed from the factory, like the Lelit Bianca. There's also machines like the Slayer 1 group and La Marzocco GS/3 MP.

Gagguino is very cool, and if you're just pulling espressos and not too many back to back, it should be plenty of machine. If you're doing more than a couple of milk drinks, or pull lots of shots back to back, or want to connect it to plumbing, it's not as great of a machine. The fact that you started out with a small single boiler with a vibration pump starts to show.


The Met will hopefully be shipping early next year which will have these capabilities.


"Hackers"? No. You are being "hilariously" ignorant about the current state of cheating in online games. The vast, vast majority of cheaters could be described most charitably as script kiddies, and even that is a stretch. They pay monthly subscription fees to cheat makers to get the ability to exercise their "freedom" to grief other players.


Whatever. I guess I never lurked in those circles. The real hackers used to shame them and run them out of forums. Maybe you shouldn't be playing with these skids at all instead of aksing for non-solutions that do nothing but normalize intrusive corporate malware.

I don't fault the skids either. As far as I'm concerned they have as much computer freedom as I do. The only solution is to whitelist the people you play with.


It’s a multi-million dollar business now. Make a cheat, add a paywall, charge people. Lookup “The Wiggle That Killed Tarkov” on YT [1] (nvm, here is link). This is an epidemic not some leet hacker proving he’s master over his domain. It’s kids and young adults paying Mr.X $9.99/mo to see thru walls and auto shoot your dome.

So what. It's literally just a game. Not important enough to sacrifice our freedoms and control for.


People kinda get attached to the media they play. [1] [2]

Competitive integrity is one of the things that makes competition fun.


Come on, loadouts and the 'gulag' respawn mechanic were clearly novel in the BR space.


The standards for this experience exist with OIDC Discovery[1] and Dynamic Client Registration[2], unfortunately they aren't used but it's not because it isn't supported.

Do any big-name providers support this? For example trying the webfinger request described in the first link on gmail.com returns a 404.

As much as I love the ability to use my own server it is going to fall flat for the vast majority of users if you can't support at least one of Google/Facebook/Twitter/Microsoft.

OpenID was supported by Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Wordpress and a few other big names. Not ideal but enough that you could basically expect most users to be covered.




But that's not the point. The goal of the discovery spec is that the user can enter an email and sign in with an OpenID connect provider of their choice. If I need to do an MX lookup and guess what identity provider they are using it doesn't solve the problem of needing to maintain a list of supported providers.


True, the "well-known" path seems to be in a random location but maybe that's a problem with the spec, you might expect it to be off the root of the email domain.


No. Generally this is because it is not a technical capability problem, but a business problem.

Often, sites which use OpenID for authentication either have no automated account recovery, or do recovery based on a verified email claim. This means those relying parties do indeed rely on the reliability and service support promises of the OP, as well as the validity of attribute data shared.

If ISPs or Google had been interested in providing webfinger-based discovery, we might have been able to create a decent UX around an assumption that your identifier was an email address, and that a local authentication process (including potentially an emailed code or link) was an acceptable fall-back. But there was never really critical mass for this to happen.


Have you looked into using an ingress controller[1]? Still not quite as easy as a managed LoadBalancer but at least you wouldn't have to configure every single service manually.

edit: of course, not very useful if your services aren't using HTTP.

Ironically, authorization downstream of an API gateway is an application that JWTs are a good candidate for.


Even in the custom keyboard community the vast, vast majority don't require relearning typing. Whether it's 60%, 75%, split, ortholinear, typing is still basically the same.


Ortholinear definitely takes a non-trivial amount of practice that a lot of people aren't willing to do. So do layers.

The overwhelming majority of people I have talked to aren't interested in using a non-standard keyboard design, even if they are interested in the ergonomic benefits.

There are definitely a lot of us who want more esoteric designs, but we are a relative minority.
