It’s also the second time it’s happened in this roundabout in a few months lol

Guy that went and directed them said they were stuck for a total of 3 minutes.

If all four arrived and entered at the exact same time, the exit might have been clear for all four.

The LG concept one I saw that had this, just had enough cameras where there was no way you could put something in without it seeing the QR and scanning it automatically.

It’s a QR code and not rfid.
I’m not saying this is for everyone, I’m saying that’s a feature that could be handy for certain use cases where people need such assistance in their life.

The one smart feature I could see being nice is inventory tracking.
There’s some new regulation incoming in the EU where they’re doing QR codes on products with the price and also expiry date. A fridge that scans my milk carton as I put it in and then also knows the expiry date would be neat.
I don’t see this as something I could ever need, but for old people or people with various potential medical issues? Could have its use.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 weeks ago:
They talked about streaming VR games from the SteamOS based steam machine to it.
So with that I’d assume we’re finally getting some much needed progress to SteamVR on linux.

And: "cheaper than the index“ Sure that only means less than 1000usd (unless they mean the headset only price at 500…?) but that’s still better than I was assuming it’d be.

I hope you seek and get the help you need with your paranoia.

Almost as if small niche communities attract the same type of people, with similar interests and problems. Surely couldn’t be that.
- Comment on turing completeness 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure that’d work on some humans too.
- Comment on turing completeness 2 weeks ago:
Even the first version of ChatGPT passed turing tests.
It takes surprisingly little for an LLM to make natural language responses that are indistinguishable from a human. Especially when factual accuracy was never part of it.

Personally I don’t care which state actor it is, I don’t want any of them to have easy access to my data.
If they want it, they should work for it.

All your data from this device being stored on servers in China that are accessible to the Chinese government isn’t a relevant concern?
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 3 weeks ago:
It’s not cloud free and requires online activation with the Tuya app. (I assume based on other Tuya WiFi devices)
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 3 weeks ago:
Yup, it’s a rebranded Tuya device.
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 3 weeks ago:
It’s a rebranded Tuya device, which can actually be used in a local only mode.
I wouldn’t trust connecting it to the Tuya online services though that is for certain.
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 3 weeks ago:
It’s a rebranded Tuya device, and they don’t sell your data to any law enforcement or insurance.
They do however comply with Chinese laws and all your data is readily available for the Chinese government.
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 3 weeks ago:
It’s a rebranded Tuya doorbell. So there aren’t any subscriptions, though you will be giving them all your data.

In my defence I was drunk.
- Comment on bingo 5 weeks ago:
The mod adds well, extreme violence. It lets sims murder other sims in various ways (also adds non-deadly violence)
You can make it so only specific sims you’ve enabled it for can do it, and you can make said sims do the violence out of free will.
The clown was probably placed in the neighbourhood in its own house, set to high free will, and high violence. Then the player went and played with their own family of sims.
Then if the clown ever came to visit (other sims in the neighbourhood will sometimes just show up to visit you) it’d start murdering. Events like a wedding usually invites everyone in the neighbourhood, so the clown showed up and started doing violence.

They do though, 4chan complies with US laws and regulations. They regularly hand over logs to various US agencies.

Oh yeah, I didn’t think about commercial vehicles like pickups and vans.
The hilux definitely has a proper hand brake, and their vans do too.

None of the newer Toyotas except the 86 that I’ve been have had a proper mechanical handbrake sadly :(
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 month ago:
I just want a mechanical safety backup for the brakes, even non-EV new cars don’t have that :(

I live in the arctic, we had 3 weeks over 30c this summer.
The first two weeks of September were all over 20c. Normal high for these two weeks is 8.8c.
Snow would usually sit around until late April/ early May. The last 4-5 years it’s been gone early April at the latest.

Cloudflare announced their paid AI scraping service at the same time as they blocked AI scrapers.
Though at least they revenue share with content owners… Assuming said content owners are in paid cloudflare plans, abs opt-in.

I does! It also reduced heavy metal levels.
Thankfully the bad type that shouldn’t be your blood, and not the cool type that should be playing on your speakers.
