To be clear, I'm not talking about auto lane centering. That's something else. The Nissan has this too, but it has to be manually enabled and although it seems to work alright, I just feel like as a driver, it's my responsibi

You can't turn it off, you can temporarily disable it but it gets enabled again the next time you get in the car. Regardless, I feel like maybe "suddenly automatically jerk the steering wheel to drive into oncoming traffic" m

Wait does your cruise control automatically accelerate by default when it thinks it sees a sign..? That sounds terrifying! I've only seen systems which give you a prompt to switch speed which you can accept with a button

IMO most features are annoying and contribute to alarm fatigue and driver irritation, but are not directly dangerous. Lane keep assist though? I often drive on narrow country roads barely wide enough for two cars, with a white line on eac

I drive a Nissan Ariya sometimes, which has adaptive cruise control. It's ... okay, but I'm not sure my own car's "dumb" cruise control is any worse to be honest. My own car's cruise control is just three large

In favour of what, might I ask? Keep in mind that the replacement must be a first class citizen in the society I live in. That means being able to easily transfer money using the app everyone uses where I live. It means public transport tic

I've lived my life in a city, just one which doesn't have shitty air quality

by mort96 3mo ago
In most of the world outside of the US, having "an HVAC system" is extremely rare.

I would not want to live in a city where I have to be careful letting in outside air or going outside because there's too much air pollution...

More or less, yeah?

Yes, it's not boring if it's the new hotness

by mort96 4mo ago
"Latest emerging boring but works" sounds like an oxymoron.

I don't get how a test runner can be "ultra fast". Surely all the time is taken by the tests, not calling the test functions?

Do you hear yourself now? "Life is too short to read texts which reference a culture you're unfamiliar with"? Seriously?

Maybe that one is specifically made to work for that application. Are you confident that you could go out and buy a replacement SD card in a general electronics store and get something which would be as robust?
256.
by mort96 4mo ago
I just wish it was possible to buy decent ųSD cards. Even really expensive ones sold in reputable stores die all the time. Sure they work just fine if your goal is to write photos into it, never delete anything and get a new one once it fil

Does it?

And who pays for the (likely significant, and controllable by everyone) tokens such a system would use?

They are upstreaming their patches, so upstream Linux will eventually get the necessary drivers. Though their kernel fork is (obviously) open source, so there's nothing stopping you from taking a Debian aarch64 roots, build your own As

And the IT teacher could have done the same, if he was competent.

Has anyone ever pretended that (non-Apple) ARM hardware running Linux makes for a remotely suitable desktop experience for the general public or are you shadow boxing here?

by mort96 4mo ago
They did seem to think that it's a problem for schools to fail students.

I will, however, assume that an IT teacher has the ability to recognise, "this isn't working because I'm using an ancient browser". If the teacher is completely unable to use a less ancient browser, the requirement for t

I never understood Dreamweaver. The first thing it asked me when making a new website was ... what the resolution of my user's screen is? I don't know that!

by mort96 4mo ago
A friend almost failed an IT class because his website didn't render at all in IE6. This was during the time of IE9. The teacher just hadn't updated their browser in a long time. I don't get how you get to be an IT teacher wi

I don't think there's anything SystemD has to do in order to comply with age verification laws. They could just ignore it. They're not an operating system.

by mort96 4mo ago
POSIX is great! For basic command line apps which don't really need to interact with the system other than reading user provided files and directories. For graphical stuff, or stuff which wants to interact more deeply with the system,

by mort96 4mo ago
The expressed intention behind adding the DoB field is to comply with age verification laws. Intent matters a whole lot here.

No, you can just run the systemd init system and not use any other systemd programs. I would probably run systemd-journald just because it's really nice to have a logging system which knows about the system services, but it's not

by mort96 4mo ago
They're separate programs and system services which all more or less just do their own thing, just developed under the systemd umbrella. So it can't be "toggled", you can just not use the parts of systemd you don't
