I make things. Websites, electronics, prop replicas, slow racecars.
My aftermarket android auto display uses the type c connector for power input - wired directly to raw vehicle power. It will not run on 5v. It doesn't negotiate pd either. It just expects around 13 volts right on the power pins, and the supplied power cable does exactly that. It's portable too, which means that some poor person plugged their cable into their phone and blew it up.
Don't overcomplicate or overthink, is my advice. You listen to a generally fixed sweet of tracks? Grab them, put them in a folder on your desktop, and open the folder in any old music player (Audacious is just fine, foobar2000 is also fine, use whatever). Optimize with things like Plex only after you notice patterns in your usage
Not affiliated, but I've been using kagi's date range filter to similar effect. The difference in results for car maintenance subjects is astounding (and slightly infuriating).
Dead ringer for the underground sections of Mirror's Edge.
There's also the issue of lead in the brass nozzle, so you'd probably want to switch to a safer material there.
In all my meeting software (the usual suspects running in the browser) the mic is always opened at the driver level, even if I'm muted. Perhaps it's to avoid latency when you unmute, or perhaps it's for those "you're muted" pop-ups.
I standardize all my two wheeled vehicles to the motorcycle layout for this reason. It bothers my push bike friends to an amusing degree but it's much safer for me. Plus I feel I have greater control of the critical front brake with my most dextrous and strong hand.
A page linked from the article (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zLaBRWMSSnjGzMOpoZwUSw_H...) cites a $4/day rental fee for the equipment, which works out to roughly $120/month. I understand there are assistance programs promised by the article. Can someone in the space help me understand this pricing model? Seems high to me.
The faq also claims there are no civil liberties implications for this since people use gps for maps anyway. There is no government infrastructure to regularly inspect my gps mapping software's correct operation, unlike the speed limiter. It's unclear what kind of data exchange happens during inspection and what the implications are for other, non-speeding drivers of the car.
Don't get me wrong, I despise speeders. I regularly compete in sanctioned motorsport and I find that the more I do, the less sympathy I have for driving badly in public roadways. I wouldn't bat an eye at a system that mechanically governs a vehicle, without the possibility of data exchange, to the maximum speed limit in the state (or a value decided by a judge). This gps system seems too easy to abuse.
I'd love to hear more about the claimed statistic of 75% of suspended drivers continuing to drive. I'm surprised that addressing this has jumped to requiring modification of vehicles and GPS surveillance. What other ways of improving compliance with suspension have been tried? Why do drivers ignore the suspension?
Can't speak for op, but for me it's a question of control. If this service ends up closing or otherwise loses me as a customer, I have to update every single contact and account before I can stop using it. That's not practical. If I bring my own domain, I can switch providers much more easily.
Some people might be ok with losing contact with the long tail after an email provider migration, but I'm not one of those people.
I find this part puzzling. I don't have to give a pencil manufacturer rights of any sort to art I make with their product. A notebook seller cares not for such rights either, nor does a musical instrument company. The fact that Firefox seems insistent upon securing content rights suggests they're interested in using the content for things other than local browsing, which I find rather unfortunate. I'd gladly buy a support license for the browser specifically but Mozilla's structure seems to prevent that.
My first generation bmw i3 is exactly this. Later models got much bigger battery packs.
I understand that reads can technically cause read disturb, but isn't this normally handled by the controller? My intuition says that the writes caused by block rewrites should not significantly accelerate wear. I'd suspect more mundane issues such as bad solder, but would love to hear an expert take.
Second this product. I wanted an Ethernet version so I made my own (it's integrated into esphome and the circuit is documented here https://github.com/Kaldek/rat-ratgdo). Apart from general usage, I use mine to tilt the garage door a small amount if it detects bad air quality in my shop (using an IKEA air quality sensor via home assistant).
They've also got a non trivial audio tape collection, found so many interesting artifacts there. Love buying mystery tapes, sometimes you discover fascinating new things.
Consider also Tube Archivist. If you just want to download a few videos it's overkill, but I use it to archive and index technical channels I like. It can do advanced full text and metadata searches on the transcription/subtitles as well as comments (and title and description). Much better than what alphabet provides, annoyingly.

Or even alternate to create a weave.
Does it need to be? Both are bad in my reckoning.
Maybe not at every intersection, but almost all parks around me have at least one. At least that's my experience in California and Washington State.
So be it. Going 80+ at night might not be a good idea on most roads.
Also look into DeArrow. Replaces clickbait titles and thumbnails.
My experience is similar. I feel like I experience past events more as modifications to my world view rather than a log of moments. I like it, to be honest. I don't need to know the exact details. The only time it gets me in trouble is people sometimes equate remembering an event as somehow "caring" about that event. I forget details fast. Sometimes people interpret that as not being interested in the people I met or the significance of the event. I'm always glad when folks of less common memory models share their experiences, I think it helps people understand that there's so many ways to experience life and consciousness.
On the other hand I'm glad my language isn't subject to central control.
Refuses to set that hard limit until you delete some secrets first.
Agree. Old laptops have a built in UPS, screen, keyboard, active cooling, and can idle at very low power usage. Some machines even let you set a battery charge limit (say 50%) so the battery lasts for a long time without degradation. There are linux scripts around for this.
I've been running llama.cpp with full GPU acceleration on my AMD card, using the text-generation-webui install script on kubuntu. Same with stable diffusion using a1111. AMD's compute stack is indeed quite broken and is more fragile, but it does work using most modern cards.
The kernel panics though... Yeah, I had those on my Radeon vii before I upgraded.
I shouldn't post in the middle of the night. My bad. I'll check it out!
Me personally, I always reboot after every update. I'd rather deal with the break now while I'm working on it, rather than at some random point. Then I'll know exactly what changed.
I take it a step further. I usually reboot before updates, too. Make sure I won't chase updates as an issue if something else broke.
Finally I can fulfill my username's destiny and compile a 32 bit version of this. If this supported virtual desktops I might actually daily drive this on my laptop.
This is my use case and setup also. If there's someone in my yard I want to know. If I'm not home it additionally kicks off other automations that make my place look less tempting for an attack.
Edit: it's also very useful to me to keep video logs of my shop and other areas. I can easily go back to see what happened if something goes wrong (stuff falling, me forgetting stuff somewhere, figuring out why there were big car tire tracks across my yard, etc).
