Are these deaths only in this gang war?

Really puts in perspective how atrocious American cities are for gun deaths…. This is barely the typical first quarter of the year.

Yup. This is really the worst part. I am a village idiot. So if i do it at home that’s fine.

But then again the shit I see at work sometimes…

Yeah they do. The device current issue is one of time. If they coded it properly they could keep the pi asleep at almost all times, but seeing as they used one in the first place I have my doubts.

Essentially it would make the scooter drain from just sitting vs being able to sit for weeks until a rider hops on.

I swear they probably followed an instructables to found the startup…

But why not an ESP32 or something that’s really well supported but better matched to their use case? Rpi screams ‘I read an article on how to connect my leds to Wi-Fi once’ levels of competence.

But I suppose if it was a half baked grift of sorts then it checks out haha. Even if that grift was more of an egotistical and not intentionally sourced grift.

This is what I mean. It’s not like they are running some kind of image processing or literally anything heavy.

Just seems way over the top. Also my bet is it they didn’t bother with bespoke hardware they probably didn’t do much to power optimize.

This is such a terrible application. These things would drain their battery just running the pi and electronics. Why such a high power platform for such basic functionality?

This screams of free money flooding startups. Amateur hour.

That’s one heck of an interesting statement from the police chief. Odd how prevalent this is across the world…

You don’t have to have merit to file a lawsuit. You can try to intimidate or bleed a defendant out.

But this is also how you end up with stuff blowing up in your face spectacularly.

I’m betting one dude in the study renovates his house and he had asbestos containing outside walls or something and now J&J is making a show of it.

We shall see, but I wouldn’t be surprised this is more of an intimidation tactic than anything.

One share for every point or bust.

It’s baffling to me that this exception exists. There’s zero justifiable reason for it imo.

Especially since I think it hasn’t been increased in ages. So it’s essentially an unpaid tip only job (yeah yeah I know they cover it if tips don’t make up to minimum)
