  • Might be a bit late of a reply, but I was able to install the Broadcom drivers super easy on my 2013 MBP. I know, different laptop, but same driver.

    After installing Manjaro, KDE Neon, and Kubuntu, here’s what I did:

    I paired it with my phone and shared my internet connection, then downloaded the Broadcom driver in the repo. Done!

    I also installed Aurora (Fedora immutable distro) on it, and the Broadcom drivers were already installed, so it just worked, but every time my laptop went to sleep it crashed and I had to hold the power button to start it, so I gave up on that and installed Neon












  • Tesla driver here.

    When I first heard the announcement that they were going vision-only, I thought ah shit they’re boned.

    I replied on maybe a Reddit thread (?) that there was no way it’ll work up north in any kind of snowy conditions, and people called me an idiot etc

    Fast forward a few years later, when I got to experience it first hand. Anytime I drive the car at night, warnings pop up on the screen like “front left camera is blocked or blinded” Cue Surprised Pikachu. In the snow, sometimes it can’t even detect a road.

    I tried the free trial of FSD and, while it’s a neat gimmick, I think I was able to make maybe one or two short trips (2km) without needing to disengage it.

    It was really bad






  • Canadian here.

    I remember watching quite a few episodes of some reno show where the homeowner had to choose between two designs for the garden, and both choices usually ended up putting gravel down, which horrified us when we saw it.

    When I think of gravel in the back yard (garden), it’s the base layer for the paving stones that go on top of it

    For me, it means I could never walk barefoot without it sticking to my feet in addition to it being uncomfortable to walk on.
