    Fuck PTACs, and the developers who install them.

    All over NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey City, you see fucking 1.2 million dollar condos or $5000/mo “luxury apartments” with these fuckers in every room.

    It’s a giant hole in the wall, you literally can see outside if you take the plastic cover off to change/clean the filter.

    They’re window units that have a dedicated window.

    Breaking News: ByteMe on Lemmy leaks that the world’s richest man is using hostages and slave labor to fly him around on his private jet.

    While previously assumed that the personnel are freely employed, it has been inferred that this is not the case.

    We can only be left to send our thoughts and prayers to those family members left behind.

    As to the identity of this brave whistleblower, we may never know.


  • The really funny thing is they have the tech built in that will auto dim the lights when facing another car, a bicycle or person on the street.

    It’s just enabled in the EU where matrix dynamic adaptive headlights are allowed.

    The US has had a law to allow them for 3ish years, but the NTSB is dragging its feet.

    The real kicker is the companies that have the tech built in, namely Audi, BMW, Porsche don’t have plans to enable it with a firmware change, it’ll be available once the cars are approved on future models.

    There is a bit different from the Tesla Model Y adaptive headlights which are only applied to the high beams.

    A fair number of models have low and high matrix beams, and it’s pretty spectacular seeing it in action. It can dim the light against people’s heads, cuts off clean lines at opposing vehicle headlights so your bright light never hits their windshield, and dim against street signs so they don’t reflect blinding lights back at you.

    Check out some videos of the Audi Matrix HD lights. Try to rent one if you’re in Germany next. It’s really something else.

    So much better than the kneecapped shit we get state side.

    Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, South Korea, Japan were all essentially private booths. Should be standard.

    UK was a bit of a cluster, Philippines had doors sometimes, Italy was almost like America at least around Florence when I was there 20 years ago
