My car turns off cruise control if you look away from the road for any length of time.

dankm ,

Oh yeah, completely agree as long as it's done by the car with no telemetry or anything. When it comes to features like this my big worry is always privacy. The safety is a good thing.

dankm ,

But does "panic" also mean "panic" in Polish?

dankm ,

Need more context: Are you also 15? If so then this might be acceptable anywhere.

But... how'd you think the got made? Had you never had a decent one at a restaurant?

dankm ,

What about the pin to unlock your phone? And at least here there's no pin with tap.

dankm ,

And your instance. They update at different rates.

Yep, at least in Canada "pavement" is either a sealed asphalt road surface, or the walking path in a garden or public park. Never the footpath on the side of a road, that's a sidewalk or footpath.

A more common term for them here is "brodozer". A portmanteau of "bro" and "bulldozer".

I'ma show my age and say 90s Duke Nukem. Thanos wouldn't stand a chance against bad 80s action-movie parody camp.

And who bring a Playboy mag to their university's computer lab, and advertises their possession?

Probably a random grad student. They were just coming out of the "sexual revolution" of the 60s at that point. It'd be a lot weirder ten years earlier or ten years later.

That a similar thing did happen ten years earlier is the weird part, I think.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

If it's cold outside it usualky takes at least 10 minutes to be warm enough to keep the windshield clear, so not all of it will be walking.

dankm ,

Mine will too, when it's reasonably warm out, but not below -15 or so. Below -30 it's even longer, and might not keep it clear, and I need to open windows just so moisture goes somewhere other than the windshield.,

Opinion: It's Time To Ditch 2.4GHz WI-FI

2.4GHz wifi is not suitable for two big reasons, interference and low bandwidth. 2.4GHz wifi in any kind of suburban or city environment and sometimes even in rural will be congested with other networks, microwaves, other appliances, etc causing massive speed degradation or fluctuations. The range of 2.4GHz is just too large for...

dankm ,

Sounds like another plus for 5ghz to me.

dankm ,

The only right way to slam down the phone requires an old phone with actual bells for the ringer. You know you did it right then the bells ding at you.

dankm ,

I set up FreeIPA at home. Similar in principle to AD.

dankm ,

Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!

What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!

Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it!

Trust me, I'm in control!

dankm ,

Damn right! It's somebody else's greed! Totally different.

How to get a private car

Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...

Wala

"Wala?" Voilà perhaps?

dankm ,

Yup, I'm one of about 6 people who work in my office that used to have around 100 in 2020. They all still work here, just from home. Great for me, especially with the reduced headcount. But many of my coworkers also like WFH, and I'd be first in line to threaten to leave if there was a return to office mandate.

dankm ,

At my school there was an office phone outside the office that anyone could use. No need to staff it.

Not without a bunch of lawyers winning.
