I fully agree with distracted driving, but also think this beyond the car size though. I think those should be limited, but will be met with that’s going to be met with resistance. The US is just completely hostile to pedestrians both in how they build roads and how drivers think of pedestrians. I’m all for rules for car sizes for other reasons but this is cultural problem the US has and needs to solve.

This last month I’ve been in around Paris and felt SO much safer walking and respected by drivers than I do walking around my house a city in twin cities.


Definitely


Intel’s newer desktop cpu support ecc. The challenge would be getting a chipset. On like w680 it is supported and fairly most chipsets don’t unsure tbh. I have a w680 and it does.

This also where I landed with Brave as it seems to be working great for all of devices. Runs smoothly and I don’t really have a problem full with many sites on aggressive mode. I’ve had the sync’ing feature go flaky a few times, but over all good experience.

My big gripe with FF honestly is the lack for PWA ( progressive web apps) If they resurrect that effort I’d give it a shot. I’m not really interested in running another browser for that feature.

Also the brave privacy settings are remarkably better “by default” across all my devices. I’m sure Firefox can be configured to be hardened I just have other ways I’d like to spend my time. Heck I’d even pay for better option for all my devices.


Well that answers why my keys no longer work on recent re-install. Ended up having to get grey market key. Figured after 10 years wasn’t the worst expense, but the amount of adverts and telemetry they gather for the price not sure it’s even worth the 15 dollars.



I think GP is talking about the Windows experience, not the purchase experience.


You can get stripped down versions of windows on ahem other parts of the internet. If you're going through the trouble to get a grey-market key, might as well choose your installation media with some care.


you can get the official media from Microsoft so there's essentially no risk in using a grey-market key (other than you may lose your $3)

vs. a random .iso from some dodgy forum containing god knows what


With complementary spyware of course


I mean, spyware comes standard with Windows 10 and 11


As someone who is just engineer / architect and has to have all my trades approved and accounts granted access to reporting for not only my self but my partner. it really annoys me that these folks are not under more scrutiny. I don’t even have really any information to what these government officials do.

This to me falls under the “rules for thee not me.”


Could you add a bit more context here? What sort of engineer and approved by whom?


If you work in engineering at a bank, all your personal account trades probably have to be pre-approved by your supervisor. You're almost certainly restricted on the products you can trade - like, maybe even "you cannot trade single stocks". You probably have to keep your account with an approved broker, who will then send your account statements to the compliance team at your firm.

If you try and trade a name that's on a restricted trading list (e.g. because the investment banking part of your firm is working on a deal with them) then that is also going to be denied.

If you're wall-crossed (e.g. in possession of material, non-public information, even by accident) for a deal, you absolutely cannot trade in related securities - like, go to jail, do not pass go.


Thanks for the reply. That clears up a lot!


> I don’t even have really any information to what these government officials do.

For sure you don't, it's the opposite. They sit on so much inside information that people outside the government would never have access to.


Thicker tires solved most my problem and would agree to try something more durable. Though no idea what type of flat they are getting. Also make sure to be riding at a good tire pressure.

Personally I started having quite a few flats with some conti 5000s for couple years. Decided to move to Conti Grand Prix 4 season tires have not had but one flat and pretty sure that was a pinch flat. Self induced pot hole I didn’t hop over.


This comment reminds me of the movie Boiler room and now that I think of it reminds me of this whole crypto industry imo.


Man this statement resonates with me.

I’ve found some folks view transferring power to benign government seems like good idea, but I think they fail to realize getting that getting that power back won’t be so straightforward if or when it doesn’t work out that government is no longer working for them or supporting their ideals, but the government is instead ruling them.

We have had to pretty good lately tbh in the US compared to some though honestly the could be questionable also depending on the values one has.


They also seem not to notice that government is never benign.

If the thought of your political adversary having a specific power makes you shake in your boots, it's not safe for your own side to have it either.


Fully agree. As it is fine most the time it comes back to the other part where it is wrong.

Example: living in cold weather climate my outback just stops cuts the engine when exhaust from the car leaves car in front of me on cold day( large cloud of vapor). The visual collision avoidance detects this as car and cuts the engine. This is not the place you want to be leaving an intersection with people accelerating behind you.

Unless this backed by lidar / radar or combination that is more accurate I don’t see this as pro. Top reason I can’t stand my outback is the decisions it makes incorrectly.

Of course there is no way to get any of this fixed in my outback other than selling it. Consumers are getting the shaft on technology in their cars imo and are being treated as test pilots.
