I can understanding not altering common property, but banning AC entirely is bullshit and quite likely a bylaw that wouldn’t hold up to scrutiny.

Or how bumblebee did an “rm -rf” on uninstall without a quoted path, which ended up nuking important directories

Honestly I think it’s generally more of a bus driver issue, because it seems more tied to the motherboard than a given device

Yeah, I’ve had more than a few chipsets or periphs that worked on Windows, and worked on Linux but were… quirky, especially when dealing with stuff like suspend states etc.

For USB3 in particular, I’ve found many storage devices or adaptors like to drop out partway through an longer copy process on Linux (like they’ll be fine for copying a smaller amount of data, but the controller or device would reset during longer ones). This didn’t seem to occur in Windows, but I’m pretty sure the copy process was also slower so guessing it’s some sort of buffer or heat quirk that 'nix didn’t account for in the more generic driver

Yeah, I’ve had a few sellers among a lot of orders try to pull a fast one, but by-and-large they’ve been good and the few that arrived bad I did get refunded for. The main thing I’d say is to be careful of things that plug in but don’t meet electrical code in your country (Amazon is getting bad for this as well) as that’s definitely some janky stuff you can find

Yeah. I’ll admit I got a bit excited at the idea that Blackberry might consider entering the mini-computer market and make a pi-type device.

Yeah, was gonna say: it’s not just the competition, spams, scams, and trolls are a real issue.

I feel like dicks would be a less likely candidate as there should be other ways to encourage the trapped member to decrease in size before resorting to cutting implements in close proximity

I assume you meant raspberry pi-zero and not blackberry?

Server or desktop, and what types of files? I find that a self-hosted version of NextCloud does pretty well for keeping contacts, images, and videos in sync.

(You could run it on a Pi as an intermediary to both if desired)

I used to use stuff like AndFTP in the past for similar functions

I’m kinda ok with a combination, like hey during the day run with mostly humans but at night supplement lack of staff when automation (so long as it’s safe)

I’m the big picture, maybe. On the other hand, there are plenty of cases where efficiency-per-size may be more important than price-per-efficiency given the available surface area to place a panel.

Just went through Japan and Korea and there are a lot of perfectly capable trucks that aren’t giant land-whales

A is much less of a pain than C. At least in most cases the plug pinches into the outlet and stays in place.

I’ve used C while traveling for my charger and The weight of a few cords wants to drag that fucker out every time.

Also worth noting that A can come in the polarized (one plug slightly larger, fits one way) or non-polarised (doesn’t matter) variety.

And really, what are their costs? Basically hosts to run a web based system, paying their drivers reasonably - which is what they continually try to fuck around on - IT administration, some cheap “customer support”, and … upper admin+shareholders.

I’d say the main reason Trump doesn’t fall under the latter category currently is lack of opportunity. He’d absolutely try to profit - likely personally and from both sides - in the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Not just that but that the “infotainment” system is getting further and further integrated with vehicle controls

Yeah, no. Has Russia taken a lot of fatalities? Yeah. But they’re also a huge country and a lot of what they’ve “lost” has to some extent areas where they’d consider the population expendable.

The thing is, while NATO etc bicker about supplying Ukraine - while fighting against internal sabotage by Russia’s unspoken allies - they’ve been actively working on a functional war-economy and production, as well as arrangements with regimes such as Iran etc.

The West has this far been in the “send some older hardware but only for defence” mode, which is just recently, slowly turning around. Committing actual troops to war is not so much, and the militaries of many members have been grossly neglected for decades. Russia continues to push the line of “you don’t want nuclear war, do you?” while also actively preparing for a larger scale conflict and pushing boundaries They, and China, Iran etc have also been increasingly active in technological/cyber attacks. Eventually, I fully expect them to go for broke. This probably won’t actually start at another invasion but rather as increasing/coordinated infrastructure attacks on infrastructure and technology.

A lot of this also comes back to asshole design, and EV’s can be particularly bad for this. Switching to large touch “entertainment” displays is a major issue. With my last ICE (Honda) vehicle, it was integrated into the backup+side cameras and a few comfort/convenience features. I could still replace that with a new head unit, though only certain ones would still support the cameras.

My wife’s EV (Hyundai) on the other hand, the console isn’t really made in a way where it seems swappable, and even if it was there are major system functions - such as configuring charge/power settings - which can only be configured from that (or the dogshyte app that screws up often and requires a paid subscription after 3yr)

I want AI (well, a robotic helper) for laundry and housework. Technically I’ve already got a dishwasher which is close enough there.

I’d love to have AI help me with making art just like other tools, but not take over it
