"fake" or "thing you will create" is not an accurate description when you consider that it can be a directory (thus creating a new link within that directory that exists) or even omitted to use the current directory.

> the possibility of more performant software due to being able to write more code quicker This is sarcasm, right?

I think you'll find it's not so much about how likely the event is (stalking vs theft) as it is about the potential impact of the event. The things you want to "protect" with an invisible AirTag are, at their core "

I feel like you're deliberately missing the point. You don't need them to have a reversing camera. Literally millions of cars over the past 2 decades have perfectly fine reversing cameras using the screen of a regular double-DIN

What's that got to do with reversing cameras?

by stephenr 9mo ago
You don't need 'dual 12.3" touch screens' for a reversing camera.

Backup cameras are an enormous safety improvement. You know that a backup camera can be added to practically any car right? My ~2002 Toyota has a Pioneer deck from around 2007 (I guess?) that supports reversing camera input. My wifes 2012 T

That isn't rubber duck debugging. It's just talking to someone about the problem. The entire point of rubber duck debugging is that the other side literally cannot respond - it's an inanimate object, or even a literal duck&

macOS only does the downscaling step if you aren't using an exact 2x UI scale. If it's exact 2x it just renders the UI using double pixels (2x2 per simulated pixel) and then sends that over the wire.
