I mean, I don't like my car updating but I'd rather things get fixed than not. Software recalls are a huge headache in the auto industry, and being able to just download an update that fixes something is way easier than going to a dealership and having them use very specific tools and software to update the car/modules.
It's also used for anti-theft features for a lot of newer cars, if your car is stolen it can be remotely disabled entirely. That's really what's more scary in my opinion.
Yeah, pretty much all new cars have some amount of cellular connectivity. Usually you can't actually use it without paying some subscription, but the manufacturers use it to push updates.
I work at one of the "Big 3" as a software engineer, we are not unionized and the strikes have before reached the engineering centers. What exactly do you suggest those in this situation do? If we don't go to work we get fired. There's tiny internal efforts at unionizing engineering but it's far from feasible yet.
I am genuinely asking, I'd love to not have to cross a picket line should the strikes make their way here, I fully support what the union wants and is doing. At the same time, I am afforded none of the protections the union has to enable them to strike. I go into the office, cross a picket line, to do a job completely unrelated to union work, or I get fired.
(No, running over picketers is literally never okay. But not everyone entering a facility is scabbing or trying to undermine the protest efforts)
Anyone know why they can't be charged with trespassing and removed? Article says the school and land are privately owned now, but surely unless the actual owner is physically there or has given permission it's a very clear case of trespassing? Especially when they're asking for plumbers and other tradespeople to come and trying to set something up long-term.
Unfortunately the reasoning isn't to improve school-life balance or give parents more time with their kids, it's that schools in the US are criminally underfunded and cannot afford to operate 5 days a week.
It was a bug in that version of the distro IIRC, trying to install Steam would instead try to install the SteamOS desktop environment (or something along those lines). It has since been fixed to actually install the Steam client.
Obviously it was a bit silly he typed "Yes, do as I say" after seeing the message, but he was also literally following exactly what all the online guides said to do (other than the "Yes do as I say" part). Luckily it's fixed now but I do think it was a really good demonstration of what the video wanted to see: "What might the average non-techie gamer face using Linux?"
Not saying it's a good idea, but a lot of the complexity surrounding automated driving is actually because you are confined to a 2D space and have to follow roads/road signs. When you can just lift off and adjust verticality to avoid objects all you really need is a way to detect and avoid obstacles and some navigation logic. Landing is probably the most difficult part to automate.
Not super easy but it is actually easier than self-driving cars (which is why almost all of a commercial flight is running on autopilot)
Google is not the law, and they can do whatever they want with their company.
Sure, but imagine your employer just fired you because of accusations before it ever reached trial. Illegal? No. Ruining someone's livelihood even though they're innocent legally speaking? Yes.
Not defending this person, I genuinely do not even know who they are. But "private company can do whatever they want, your rights are only something the government has to care about" is a pretty concerning position to take. Not to mention they didn't seem to take down or stop running ads on the channel, just stopped giving him the money. They're profiting off of his content without paying him and using an unverified (but very possibly accurate) accusation as an excuse. That should be illegal.
I work in the automotive industry in the US, but we regularly interact with German suppliers (software and hardware). In my experience, in August especially it seems like half of their office is just out the entire month. I'm sure there's tons of industries where that isn't the case, though.
My GPD Win4 handles hibernate beautifully (sleep sucks, though). I've left it on hibernate for weeks to a month and at most I come back to 10% less battery.
But if you don’t have coivd, and you’re the only one wearing a mask, it’s markedly less effective at preventing covid.
Worth noting that is mostly only true for cloth masks. The person you're replying to said N95, which do a lot better at protecting the individual wearing them even when others aren't masked.
Almost always this is a player issue as mentioned. I've had similar issues with some files where audio just doesn't work on one player but works fine for another. Same with subtitles. Set to an external player like VLC and see if that fixes it. (For what it's worth, I mostly access Jellyfin from my Chromecast and I have it set to prompt me for a player each time I start watching something, one of them always works but for my files it isn't consistent which)
We can if we tear up most of the cities and small towns that exist today, like I said.
The cost-benefit of doing so.... takes a long time to pay off (if ever) and forcefully dislocating people like that generally isn't popular. Public transit would be great, but the argument needs to be a lot more realistic to how we retrofit public transit for our existing cities, and focusing future growth on making it compatible with public transit. It's not realistic to say "We just need more public transit, Europe has it figured out" when our cities and towns are laid out way differently. Obviously re-zoning certain areas and moving businesses closer to suburbs is a start, but it isn't going to be as simple as "build cities like Europe" because the cities are already built.
Europ[e] has 700 million inhabitants on round about the same size of land as the USA
I'm not saying the other guy is entirely right here, but this is a pretty disingenuous argument. Both Europe and USA are around 4 million square miles in landmass (Europe is slightly bigger, US is around 3.8), but 1.5 million of that is Russia, where the population is highly clustered around a few cities. Russia having 40% of the total landmass but only 15% of the population of Europe makes it seem like the population density might be similar, but it isn't once you take Russia out of the equation. Population density is just way higher in Europe on average.
The point is that the USA has a ton of land, and cities and towns are spread very far apart. Yes, Europe has plenty of stretches of land that look similar, but most of the US is wide open space. Is that a great thing? Not really, but it's a consequence of history and a problem we just have to deal with.
I'd love to ditch cars and use public transportation and have walkable cities, but with the population so spread out it really isn't feasible in much of the country. Saying someone is giving "THE cliché answer from an us citizen who has never seen another part of this world" and then giving a statistic that is inherently flawed to prove your argument isn't going to get others to agree with you, it'll just make you sound like a dick. It is a real problem that US cities and towns are very wide and built very far apart, we can't just tear down those towns and build towns with a higher population density in their place to increase walkability. (Only within the town, mind you, this would increase reliance on cars if you need to go outside of your town)
Teens will feel like outcasts if they get an Android phone while their friends still use iMessage because of the green bubbles.
So I've heard this sentiment a lot, and at one point it certainly was true, but are teens still texting these days at all? I swear almost everyone moved to instant messaging over Snapchat, Instagram, Discord, etc.
Pretending ChatGPT isn’t the biggest development in the history of commerce
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Is it neat? Yes. Is it a useful tool? Yes (when they haven't put a million restrictions and performance limitations on it).
Is it the biggest development in the history of commerce? Almost certainly not. LLMs are a highly-sophisticated game of mad libs, they work even better than many would expect (as Google learned when they bet against them) but they are not general AI or world-changing. It'll have to be combined with a lot of other tech before it reaches the level we can say "biggest development in the history of commerce"
Wow that is fucking awful in it's entirety. Jesus fucking Christ, seems like just burnout and overwork are not the only issues present there. Goes a lot deeper than that with micromanagement and a "boys club" attitude, gross.
Also thank you for the link, I was so confused where to the rest of the post was.
