override the auto driving

I must be tired right now but I don’t see how a remote operator could have driven better in this situation.

You can’t get away from someone blocking your car in traffic without risk.of hitting them or other people or vehicles.

You probably meant they ought to drive away regardless of what they hit, if it helps the passenger escape a.dire.situation? But I have to wonder if a remote operator would agree to be put on the spot like that.

On some phones you won’t get anything when searching for “lockdown” but you most likely have it, it’s typically under Display > Lock screen > Shown lockdown option.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Web printing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
You don’t have to install drivers or CUPS on client devices. Linux and Android support IPP out of the box. Just make sure your CUPS on the server is multicasting to the LAN.

You may need to install Avahi on the server if it’s not already (that’s what does the actual multicasting). The printer(s) should then auto magically appear in the print dialogs on apps on Linux clients and in the printer service on Android. On Linux it may take a few seconds to appear after you turn it on.

They buy the hardware once then sell services based on it.

Because AI reversed the ratio.

It’s much worse. Generally speaking projects in large corporations at least try to make sense and to have a decent chance to return something of value. But with AI projects is like they all went insane, they disregard basic things, common sense, fundamental logic etc.

They typically use internal personnel and being parcimonious about it so you’re right about that.

Well probably not just Nvidia but the next likely beneficiaries are in the same range (Microsoft etc.)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
The most successful ML in-house projects I’ve seen took at least 3 times as long than initially projected to become usable, and the results were underwhelming.

You have to keep in mind that most of the corporate ML undertakings are fundamentally flawed because they don’t use ML specialists. They use eager beavers who are enthusiastic about ML and entirely self-taught and will move on in 1 year and want to have “AI” on their resume when they leave.

Meanwhile, any software architect worth their salt will diplomatically avoid to give you any clear estimate for anything having to do with ML – because it’s basically a black box full of hopes and dreams. They’ll happily give you estimates and build infrastructure around the box but refuse to touch the actual thing with a ten foot pole.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European iPhones are more fun now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
There’s been talk about exploring porting the engine to iOS at the beginning of 2023 but AFAIK the current state of things was that it’s a significant undertaking and probably not worth it just for the EU market.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European iPhones are more fun now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
There’s no Firefox engine for iOS and Mozilla says it doesn’t make financial sense to port it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If you go forward 12 months the AI bubble will have burst. If not sooner.

Most companies who bought into the hype are now (or will be soon) realizing it’s nowhere near the ROI they hoped for, that the projects they’ve been financing are not working out, that forcing their people to use Copilot did not bring significant efficiency gains, and more and more are realizing they’ve been exchanging private and/or confidential data with Microsoft and boy there’s a shitstorm gathering on that front.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
For now, but the EU will force Apple to allow non-WebKit engines on iOS. At which point only Google will have enough money to spare porting an entire engine to a small market.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
You know, I hadn’t realized this before. Thanks to Apple’s decade-long policy, alternative browsers for iOS literally don’t exist, they’ll have to be ported. It will take years for that to happen, if anybody even bothers. Well, Google will.

And that’s how Apple will have managed to shoot themselves in the foot and have iOS fall under Chrome domination too.

At this point if they were smart they would sponsor the ports of alternative browsers that are not Chrome, but I doubt they have it in them.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the difference between a $50 HDD and a $200 HDD?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Any difference you personally experience between the three big brands is meaningless. For any failed HDD you have there’s going to be another person who swears by them and has had five of them running for 10 years without a hitch.

But whatever’s cheaper in your area and stop worrying. Your reliability should be assured by backups anyway not by betting on a single drive. Any drive can fail.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the difference between a $50 HDD and a $200 HDD?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
For home setup you don’t care because you should have either redundancy or backup (preferably both).

So that typically means buying the cheapest HDD that’s new and from one of the established brands (Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba) that’s in the correct size for your needs, and you can afford to buy it at least twice (for the aforementioned backups or redundancy), or even thrice, and replace as soon as needed.

In other words there’s no need to speculate on how long an HDD will last, you simply replace it when needed.

Please also note that HDDs over 10 TB are starting to get increasingly replaced with enterprise models which run hotter and make more noise.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Which brings me to the question, how is Microsoft doing this, where will people’s keys be located? Do they force everybody to put in an USB stick?

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Ironically, if Graphene would succeed, it would lead to a system that’s every bit as locked down as a manufacturer’s Android. GrapheneOS would also not allow you to have root etc.

IMO Graphene wants a place at the big player table. They’re not in it for user freedoms.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Unfortunately that line of thinking stops at the divide between hardware and software. You can legally make a phone manufacturer let you unlock a phone’s bootloader so you can install other software, and you can forbid them from denying hardware warranty because you installed other software. Both of which apply in the EU.

But you can’t make them have their software support or play nice with the other software that you install.

You also can’t force manufacturers to open up drivers if they’re under NDAs and proprietary licensing (which they often are, due to extensive cross licensing because everybody’s owning patents that can lead to everybody suing everybody if they were ever used).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X to pause using European user data to train AI systems⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
There’s no reason for them to keep defying the court. It could make the ruling worse for them and GDPR fines are hefty to begin with. They can’t possibly hope to gain anything of equivalent or greater value to the fine from a bit more data.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
This is not a new problem, .internal is just a new gimmick but people have been using .lan and whatnot for ages.

Certificates are a web-specific problem but there’s more to intranets than HTTPS. All devices on my network get a .lan name but not all of them run a web app.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
As opposed to what, the domain certificate? Which can’t be air-gapped because it needs to be used by services and reverse proxies.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If you mean properly signed certificates (as opposed to self-signed) you’ll need a domain name, and you’ll need your LAN DNS server to resolve a made-up subdomain like lan.domain.com. With that you can get a wildcard Let’s Encrypt certificate for *.lan.domain.com and all your https://whatever.lan.domain.com URLs will work normally in any browser (for as long as you’re on the LAN).

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which git server for a company?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If you don’t need CI/CD I’m not sure why you need a centralized frontend at all. Git itself is distributed and you can setup any code flow you can think of. It has hooks that can be used to set up code quality checks on select branches. There are local history browser apps for every platform and IDE plugins.

A frontend is no substitute for developer communication — usually what the “PR” thing does is sugarcoat the fact the devs don’t know how to use Git and/or don’t talk to each other.

Firefox Sync was purposefully built too, they didn’t wake up one day to find it on the porch in a basket.

It syncs passwords, works on desktop and mobile and can do some other cool stuff — syncs tabs and bookmarks, alerts you to password breaches, send tabs from one device to another, lets you export your passwords etc. It’s a good password manager.
