They don’t have to lose full control. They could be following too closely and swerve onto the sidewalk to avoid a collision with a car and end up striking a pedestrian.

This is a matter of the human factor - and you can never make that disappear. There will always be the odd idiot driver.

The reduced speed limit should also be accompanied by lane narrowing, speed humps, and other traffic calming techniques.

This is totally fine for housing areas, but definitely not for through-roads. There's no one-for-all solution in the same way our bodies don't have only one size of blood vessel.

If these drivers don’t obey the rules now, what makes you think they will obey them if you lower the speed limit?

And you don’t just lose control of your car at 30mph or even 50. Especially not in today’s cars with all their safety features.

Shooting someone or throwing someone off a cliff is a deliberate act to hurt/kill someone else. No driver wants to kill someone. (Well, apart from these extremists that occasionally drive into German Christmas markets…)

People mindlessly walking into traffic, because that funny video on Instagram is more important than watching their surroundings, they are the problem.

You shouldn’t just “drop bash commands into it” anyways. And if you really need it, bash is only one bash away.

Don’t worry, the intelligent ones will survive.

I’m all for survival of the fittest. If people are too stupid to stay on the pavement, it’s on them. Why let drivers suffer to protect those idiots that blindly run into traffic?

Maybe we should ban ALL cars to get traffic related injuries to 0… 🤦‍♂️

By now, enough people have fish that you can basically assume those scripts being “portable”. Far better than nushell or xonsh - which are both pretty advanced shells but other tools lack support for them, e.g. Midnight Commander.

I’m using fish and the default is enough for anybody. 😁

1. Until someone re do the test, we will not know.

If you’ve just enabled Apple Intelligence, it’ll also go through all your Photos and detect objects, faces, pets, POIs, settings, etc.. Depending on the amount of photos, this can take a few days to complete. (Should only happen while the phone is connected to a charger, though.) During that time, some sluggishness is to be expected. However, after a few days, the phone should be snappy again.

At least I can’t notice any such issues on my 16 Pro. And I’m using AI since it became available in the Betas here in the UK.

What purpose should this fulfil? If you are unsure whether your command is correct, double-check it before hitting the ENTER key.

Most often you’re not the only person noticing a problem. If all the feedback they get from the various different users isn’t enough, they’ll ask for details. But they might not ask you, but one of the 999 other people with that error. So, getting an actual reply from them is like winning the lottery.

However, there’s always a status displayed which might change to “Fix implemented in future iOS version” (or something alike). You can read this as “thanks, archiving”.

Fun fact: If you notice a bug being fixed in an update, you can close the feedback items yourself. And you can even add something nice like “thanks for fixing” before closing it.

Yeah, 3DSes are expensive in Europe. I’m still angry at myself for not grabbing one for ~100€ when MediaMarkt/Saturn got rid of them.

But technology and production methods got way cheaper in the past few years…

Just for comparison - prices back in 2016:

Pebble 2: $99 Early Bird, retail price: $129

• HR sensor
• microphone
• activity + sleep tracking
• water resistant to 30 metres
• battery life up to 7 days

Pebble Time 2: $169 Early Bird, retail price: $199

• HR sensor
• stainless steel case
• microphone
• activity + sleep tracking
• water resistant to 30 metres
• battery life up to 10 days

Well, it still is end-to-end encrypted. Just from your end to Apple’s end. 😂

Funny enough I had activated the Advanced Protection (which deletes the iCloud encryption key from Apple’s servers) like a week before that UK thing went into effect. And since Apple isn’t allowed to talk about this, there’s no pressure to deactivate it again so far.

I’ve been there in the early days, when it was still called “Joyn” in Europe. That was around 2008/2009.

It's just that US carriers have partnered with Google to provide their RCS support.

Not sure if I’d call this “partnered”. AFAIK every carrier can provide their own RCS infrastructure via some data on the SIM. However, as Google wanted to push RCS, they’ve added a fallback to their own servers into the Android Messaging app. And I guess this then became somewhat of a “standard”.

And carriers are busy enough counting all that money we pay them, so they were happy to not having to do anything.

“European Starlink rival” is a bit far fetched when there’s merely rumours that they might be able to offer a similar service. But that’s the stock market for you.

Of the EU possibly, not Britain.
