Only time my dad ever had to check them was when the cleaning service repeatedly ‘forgot’ to clean the 2 bedrooms at the end of the hall. Only weirdos constantly monitor them.
- Comment on Part 2 of car Raspberry pi 4 GPS project 1 week ago:
Fwiw, pi zeros have USB host & device/gadget modes, but I doubt a zero would have enough power to do what you need

Seems like there was more reporting on their clothing choice than on the person themselves.

It’s where the term borked comes from
- Comment on Jeff Geerling: Self-hosting your own media considered harmful (updated). Youtube removed his content, saying that self hosting content is "dangerous or harmful content" 1 week ago:
He’s on float plane. I think he’s trying to make a living, so I’d assume YouTube ad revenue is a factor

They give out free license for their data, but require following their terms of service.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 weeks ago:
hybrid/electric cars already do it with regen braking.
Not all of them. It is becoming more common, but for a while Hyundai and Kia didn’t do this, and I know my older Ford doesn’t.
Probably just in the US, since brake lights are only required when pressing the brake pedal. Mercedes illuminates them but then turns the brake lights off once the vehicle comes to a stop using regen.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 weeks ago:
Faster blink is already used to indicate that one of the lights is burned out. It’s a consequence of the mechanical part that operates (used to operate) the blinking; less resistance caused by a burned out light means it blinks faster
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 weeks ago:
They also indicate slow moving road hazards like a semi carrying an oversized load
- Comment on Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps 4 weeks ago:
windows plans to handle updates the same way Linux does

- Comment on The European Commission says it is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for potential child safety Digital Services Act (DSA) violations “as a matter of priority” 4 weeks ago:
No, I’d liken it to an adult giving a child alcohol. I don’t know of any children who pay for their own Internet access.
If your liquor cabinet at home isn’t locked, and your kid steals some, it isn’t any different than not having a locked down Internet connection.

- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 4 weeks ago:
Even with the sfp+ ports some providers make not using their provided modem a real headache. (Looking at att)
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 4 weeks ago:
Even without tariffs, the collusion between nand manufacturers to keep prices high meant 2030 would be the earliest that 8tb SSDs would be “affordable”

- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 5 weeks ago:
Property taxes aren’t federal, they’re local. They’re assessed at the county/township/city level. If you’re complaining about shitty education, lower property taxes won’t help that. They do fund local transit and and rail projects. They don’t fund the military, because again, property taxes are local. They do fund the police, that’s like the only thing you got right.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 5 weeks ago:
none of it would be of help to me, my kids, my neighbours and my allies
Huh? It’s property tax, that’s literally how public schools are funded. It’s how your local roads are maintained. It’s what pays for any local parks you may have. It’s what pays for the fire department, and you’re going to need them after this serious burn you absolute moron!
Dipshits with your opinion are the reason the US has a serious problem with crumbling infrastructure.
- Comment on Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night 1 month ago:
Technically not about fossil fuels exclusively, as they include hydro, bio-mass, and nuclear in their list of priorities
Sec 3a
. . . undue burden on identification, development, or use of domestic energy resources — with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, biofuels, critical mineral, and nuclear energy resources . . .
In a functioning government the AG, independent from executive influence, could act on this, but I certainly don’t have hope for the current administration

I really wish their whole lap-dock concept had succeeded. Or at least ran a few more generations, so I could get an upgraded model with USBc
