I regularly drive an ID3 and every ten minute or so I accidentally activate a button on the left side of the steering wheel. It’s happening in roundabouts, sharp turns or sometimes even on straights when I just adjust my hand position. The buttons on the left are for the cruise control which this car doesn’t have, so it’s always only showing an error on the driver screen, which is funny on it’s own, but probably a good thing in this case. The software has a lot of unforgivable quirks, but other than that it drives very well.

GCD first appeared on 10.6 Snow Leopard, which was marketed as a bug-fix only release and is due to this romanticised until today, but in reality included major changes under the hood and wasn’t very stable in his first versions.

That was quite common during the Windows 9x days, leading to that long period of time of problems later under XP with old apps only running under an admin account.

I remember the most famous techno club from my nearest city used that to provide a virtual room tour on their website. I was too young then to get past the bouncers and liked that feature :)

I remember that day this banner showed up. My team at the company I was working for at that time was trying to do bleeding edge web development and we desperately tried to convince management to drop IE6 support too. This helped a lot. It’s amazing to read this story and I only can say thank you OldYoutubers!

I would hope VW puts into production some of their claimed Year 2020 EV models, if so, they will have restored my faith in the company.

As someone who already owned a couple cars out of the Volkswagen brands, currently is seeing them still very critical but following their news closely I am sure they will do. The first ID model will maybe delayed, maybe not better than a Tesla in many points, but I see VW is going full in to EVs and this is something that would never happened so fast if there wasn’t this Dieselgate story. The other german car manufactors are way more conservative with their transition and VW will push a So this is maybe the happy end of all this.

I'm a cyclist. Over the past 5 years or so I've learned to check inside of people's cars to see if they have a phone in their hands. If they do, I try to keep as much distance between myself and them as possible.

I guess this is something a self driving car should also keep in mind. Next we have to click on tiles with people using phones before login.

Does this mean by selling these sausages they retain the right to all these entries in your third link? For example the last one „Vermietung von Datenverarbeitungsgeräten“. Someone could make a business leasing computers under the name Volkswagen if they wouldn’t make these wursts?

It was called Pervitin, and found in every soldiers lunch box. Everyone could buy it in his local pharmacy. The germans even won their first soccer world cup on it. Bad stuff.

IMHO Homebrew is much better than apt on Ubuntu. E.g. when I read in the news that a new version of my favorite tool is released, i know that’s normally only a brew upgrade away to have it. And i mean now and not until the next OS release happens. With brew it’s also very easy to go back in versions of individual packages in case the current release is buggy or breaks something. You can have this with 3rd party repos in debian, but that’s usually more hazzle from my experience.
