or perhaps that sum is incorrect, or perhaps it was state actors with power to force algorithm changes on TikTok or to tiktok via other means without payment.
external state actors interfering with elections is a perfect reason to invalidate.

external state actors interfering with elections is a perfect reason to invalidate.
That is done for good reason, you can't waive it away with 'voting secrecy'.
'voting secrecy' can be defeated pretty quickly by asking the voter to take a picture with phone and report it.
Hardware side, I just have a beefy server that acts as a router (mellanox card to provider fiber optic and local fiber network), firewall, wifi access point, zigbee coordinator, host to various services, camera video feed ingestion and processing, and so on...
It has zero cost, hardware is already there. I'm not captive to some remote company.
I can fiddle and integrate with other home sensors / automation as I want.
It makes it easy to compare range under same conditions.
if you want anything more I'm sure you can search yourself and come to any conclusion you want. Perhaps even share here if you want.
byd seal 46k euros, 570km wltp, 82.5kwh battery
tesla model 3, rwd, long range, 46k euros, 702km wltp (18" wheels), 78.1kwh battery
Tesla has quite impressive effiency... at same price with less battery...
BYD atto 3 that OP mentioned:
- 420km wltp range on 60 kwh battery.
Tesla model 3 rwd:
- 554km wltp with 18" wheels - on 56kwh battery.
so tesla is much more efficient while cost difference isnt that much at least in europe. (41k vs 39k)
no need to overcomplicate, your concerns are valid but we're not there yet. Above has worked fine for 2+ years as is.
Also, what things are in place to avoid this being used for fraud/scams?
It starts off small:
> “I haven’t seen any federal folks. I haven’t seen FEMA or local emergency crews. It’s just neighbor helping neighbor,” Mr. Loftis told The Washington Times
But checking... he's wrong and washington times did not bother to check and correct him?
https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20241003/biden-harris-adm...
Then continues and tries to link it to something political:
> FEMA spent more than $1 billion over the past two years, including $380 million allocated in late August, to help communities settle thousands of illegal immigrants
> The money was provided by Congress and signed into law by the president specifically to pay for housing and services for illegal immigrant
This is also wrong: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor...
Then jumps to Trump quotes (nice path to trump, probably goal of article...) which I'm not even going to quote since they are absurd.
And some filler which nobody is going to read...
This is an interesting path to push propaganda and seems effective...
I found no disclaimers saying it's paid for...
Steps are pretty simple:
- build and dump image on a 7$ raspberry pi pico, put that on the network.
- Configure TV DNS server to point to the pico.
- Configure router to block DNS traffic entirely from TV.
- Test
If it works, then it should work a long time. TV won't get any updates, netflix doesn't seem to cycle or add new domains.
Just a note, for the linked item I haven't change anything in 2 years and it's still working fine.
That's because it's an allow list, nothing gets through unless it's specifically towards netflix domains and addresses.
It's much easier to manage then the reverse as you noted.
Sure, it could be defeated with effort but it would be visible (updates available or ads or similar), and at that point you start investigating.
It also requires some initial effort to set up if you want anything else from the TV (say youtube or amazon prime and so on)
Unfortunately, if I were to replace I'm not even sure I can find something that doesn't or won't do this in the future.
So perhaps we'll start seeing consumer routers with this blocking built in. (would be a nice logical add on to help sell them)

That way you can still use the TV and not have it spy on you, that part is more worrying then the ads:
> It has a partnership with Nielsen that sends automatic content-recognition data gathered from LG TVs to Nielsen
- They are saying that maliciously as signalling for cost savings.
- They know this will slowly rot and destroy long term development. Probably screamed from all sides internally.
- They are doing this to meet their own targets.
- If everyone is doing this, it means their competitors are also taking the hit, so it might not be as bad for them long term going this route. It's a similar thing as everyone having bad call centers.
Have you seen recent prices?
Where I am gas cars tend to both cost more upfront then EVs, have higher taxes, higher maintenance costs and be worse quality wise.
A model 3 is very competitive in its class for example.
I saved money choosing an EV.
I would expect wooden houses to have fire retardant panelings and insulation...

You just need a fire in an enclosed space running for a bit of time.
> can't you tell the difference between a phone battery and a car battery ? really ?
I have seen the result of a house fire due to bad laptop battery.
Once a fire starts it's typically bad.
If you are worried about EVs catching fire, then any battery has the same risk percentage to start a fire. (defective samsung mobile phones is a good example of an issue and it being resolved)
Sure, it's much worse and much faster for an EV to catch fire. Still, a regular battery can kill you just as well.
I just leave my EV outside, I don't think it will catch fire, but if it does it won't kill me.
I also used to leave my gas car outside, I dont think that would catch fire either.
I havent seen too many regular consumer devices starting fires so that risk might be low.

17.7kwh battery. A base tesla model3 rwd has a 60kwh and range of 500-600km from that.
Also, if that worries you, you should probably worry about anything battery powered. That means phones, RC toys, laptops, external battery packs, power tools...
Lastly, if your gas car spontaneously starts burning in a garage, it's probably not a good idea to rush to an enclosed garage, opening door/window might cause a blow up...
If hardware is stolen it will have hardware key attached.
It is similar to having unencrypted ssd.
Also, someone can temporarily remove the yubikey, fetch the decryption key then place it back.
Using that you could set up networking and download the key from somewhere (say a remote KMS that would need user approval before continuing). So you would reduce your problem to being prompted on phone to unlock your desktop.
You could even use some sort of hardware key to prove request came from the physical server. (simplest might be a RP2350 with some key burnt in)
Or you could use something like SGX if it's still available anywhere to prove the same.
From same article:
"Florida later retired the punch-card voting machines that produced the ballots disputed in the case."
It looks like you haven't read the article.
I'll make it short:
- machines messed up, humans without machines would have not.
- attempts at recount were blocked by supreme court.
- bad result was used to alter election result.
As such, in your situation, if the voting machines you keep arguing for will produce wrong results, we can expect the same result, lawsuits and supreme court deciding election instead of the people.
Any "risk limiting audits" will be thrown in the trash if it's convenient. Same as the recount attempts in florida.
If you do not learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.
> Its so funny to see how HN people tend to be so ignorant of the real world because they think they know best. After all they are hackers right? Sooner or later they always get smacked with reality.
Kind if ironic, don't you think?
You keep arguing for a complex unproven system that is easily compromisable and needs risk limiting audits just to exist.
You are ignorant of real world risks.
You dismiss a simpler, resilient, proven, similarly fast without these glaring issues in EU.
You know best.
If voting machines ever mess up then reality will smack us all, same as in the past.
