Do you take it to the shop for oil changes then? I check my dipstick every time?

Its an MMO, so no

To be fair i would consider a glitch to be closer to a ghost causing it than a lazy developer.

I consider a "bug" to be something caused by the code (bad error handling, bad logic, etc) and a "glitch" to be something more random or environmental

I understand the practical limitations of privacy

No, I just understand that when I am in public or in a businesses private property I could and often am subject to video recording. It's super super common and I've kind of just accepted it.

You can complain about the state of society or whatever but that's our current situation.

See, useful source. Also notice how it isn't a random social media post.

There are two reasons people complain about Nvidia drivers on Linux. The first is because they are proprietary, which doesn't matter for anyone except turbo nerds.

But Nvidia drivers used to be pretty bad on Linux. But I genuinely don't think I've had a driver crash since I installed my 2070 back in like 2019. I've upgraded to a 3080ti and I still haven't had any issues. I have a 4k/120hz HDR monitor and don't have any issues with that either.

Growing up I had a friend whose mom was a little too crunchy and she ended up getting rid of their microwave because she thought the microwaves gave the food cancer and when you ate it you would get the cancer from your food

Fun fact, ELDs require GPS. It's easy to find public information. There is also this web page which goes into more details about the "why" we have to have ELDs installed in trucks.

And the cell service is to allow the actual device to communicate back to the parent. At my company we use Samsara and Motive.

We do not use any AI features because we don't need them but I have talked to guys at other offices that do use it. Largely it's because of insurance. You can get crazy discounts on insurance for running something with the AI tracking. There are also some AI programs that optimize routing but those are """AI""" features not necessarily AI.

No its more

This thing is not owned by you and is required by the federal government. Please dont damage our very expensive hardware

But yeah blow it up to an unreasonable level and anything sounds crazy.

I understand the practical limitations of privacy. But as the IT admin i am also the one who manages the cameras and access to them so that helps.

I appreciate you defending me, but I did say I was director of IT so unfortunately I am management. But it wasn't me deciding to install this stuff on our fleet, it was the federal government.

Hey so it's actually the federal department of transportation that decides we need super invasive tracking! And they decided that after a ton of accidents directly caused by drivers not paying attention and working crazy hours.

I also don't want to pay or manage this crap but here we are.

And that's completely understandable.

But I know, at least in our case, it's just there for insurance purposes in case something happens. Which, thankfully nothing has.

I like how you ignored the part that actually upsets me about this.

Don't fucking damage company property

Its an office space we lease. I am not sure who originally installed them as they were there when we moved in.

We do manage them and retain the recordings though.

I work in an office with cameras ¯(ツ)/¯

This is some crazy good advice. In the software dev/IT fields I preach about premature optimization to my reports all the time.

You can't optimize something that doesn't exist. Figure out exactly what you want to build (so you want video streaming mostly it sounds like, then you can figure out how to build it (probably either a NAS or just a tower with a bunch of drives in it. And then Plex/Jellyfin). Then, after you build it, you can use it.

You'll only find things to fix/make better by actually using it. Focus on getting the thing done, then you can optimize.

1. IBM still manufactures new mainframe computers and they will actually support your ancient mainframe from 1962 (assuming you're still paying your licensing haha)
2. the vast majority of Windows 7 and older computers that are still in production are attached to specialized hardware or industrial equipment. Stuff that costs many hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
3. emulating older OSes doesn't really solve the problem at all because the actual concern is security, not hardware issues.
4. emulation isn't perfect, especially with passthrough. Especially when you're trying to pass through an ancient connector through a virtual adapter (show me a modern computer with SCSI)

I could keep going but that's all I have enough care to do right now

And a lot of people are actually stuck because the Windows XP/7 machine is attached to industrial equipment that costs an unbelievable amount of money or is just impossible to replace.

Windows 8 removed the start button, 8.1 brought back most all of the "legacy" UI features (which still persist today).
