I want to get off Mr. Trump’s wild ride

Any car manufacturer who removes the instrument panel from right infront of the driver and placing the instruments in the infotainment system deserves to fail.

Dear whiny bitchface, er Mr Hegseth, stop doing illegal shit and you will stop being called out for doing illegal shit.

Wasn’t there a bug that made XP unable to hit even 4GB, I seem to recall a limit of 3,5GB ram…

Hey guy, I suspect that you tried to make a sarcastic comment, if that was the point, add a “/s” to it. Else just leave it for the downvotes

Dear Mr. Musk, who exactly are the “radical left” that you seem to fear so much?

I can see two reasons to pick an AIO over an air cooler, none of which has been a concern for me.

1. Using a small case. In a small case you may not be able to fit an air cooler large enough to cool the CPU, an AIO is more flexible and is a great alternative in these cases.
2. Needing to move your computer from place to place. The traditional tower air cooler puts a LOT of strain on the motherboard, this is fine for when the computer is in a static place, but when moving a computer, especially if you are driving, any bumps can cause the cooler to pull on the motherboard, possibly cracking the motherboard. An AIO with it’s smaller footprint is far less susceptible to that. I have a Noctua D15s as my cooler, and if I had to transport my computer in my car I would either remove the cooler and GPU before loading the computer in my car, or lay it down flat.

I don’t want water in my computer, simple as that.

I remember reading about a public university hospital here that people claimed was operating at a loss, and I remember being extremely confused.

I thought the point of a public university hospital was to treat patients, train medical staff and research new medical science, not make money.

I later was told that they meant that it blew it’s budget, which is not the same as operating at a loss.

The issue is often that the phones take a long time to download the apps the user needs, most of our users are on the go, and can’t rely wifi, so they need mobile data, with a physical SIM we can easily tell them how to swap on their own, it is done in 10-15s, and can quickly be moved back, with an eSIM you have to dig through menus and hope it works, if not, the user is left with two phones without a SIM.

It would be funny if Russia themselves had to fly an attack raid on Putin’s palace, just to try and convince the world that Ukraine did it.

It is also a problem for us IT guys, when we need to migrate users from one phone to another it is super annoying to deal with eSIMs

I live in a suburb to the north of Stockholm, I have experienced the GPS jamming first hand.

There were a few days when my car’s inbuilt GPS thought I was driving around in another suburb on the other side of the city.

Does anyone know if GPS has the abillity to do signed packets?

I mean, I’d rather the GPS fail completely, than giving me false data.

Ever since the start of internet connected vehicles this has been on the table, before it wasn’t really possible to manage subscriptions like this, now it is as easy as changing $SUBSCR_INF_ACP from a 0 to a 1 on your account to enable CarPlay, once you have paid.

Though, to be fair, I would like better integration with the onboard systems, something like Carplay lite.

It would basically present the content on the phone, music, podcasts, audiobooks, maps, etc. to the onboard infotainment system.

Apps with audio media would appear as audio sources, inside the audio sources, any menu would be presented in a standard UI.

Basically, the phone would simply send something like an XML file of how the menu should be displayed, and the infotainment has a rendering engine to render the UI in a style that is integrated with the car’s UI.

That would solve one of the biggest issues with CarPlay/AA, the forced touchscreen.

In my 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV hatchback, I have a fantastic steeringwheel, it has plenty of excellent controls, regarding media, I have a volume wheel by my left thumb, I can also press it to pause the media, on the right side of the steering wheel I have buttons for skip/previous.

If I could interact with the menus in CarPlay using the thumbwheel and a separate back button, that would be amazing.

The wheel clicks when moving it, so if you could simply have it move the selection on the menu with every click it would be brilliant.

Though I would need another thumbwheel to set the volume…

My point is that if deeper integration of phone media in the infotainment system could enable a UI less dependent on a a touchscreen, I would love to try it.

Lucky for you, I don’t judge people for replying to the wrong comment.

I sort of assumed that these days design patents are mostly ignored by smartphone companies.

After a while it just makes sense to drop the legal stuff and stop wasting money on constant lawsuits.

People who judge other people based on nothing other than what technology brand they use instantly are instantly lower on my respectometer.

Fuck off with that shit.

I used Symbian for years, then I used android tablets as a complement to the Symbian phones for years, then I got an iPhone for work, and when my last Symbian device died I got an iPhone as I knew the OS from my work phone. A few years later I tried an Android phone for a few months, but when the display got totaled in a drop, and I had to send the phone away, I just got back to my iPhone as it was easier to fix on the spot in local repair shops.

I am an IT guy, I don’t care about blue or green bubbles, if you are on Android, that is fine, that probably works better for you, for me iOS has so far served me well.

Stop judging others for their preference of tech brands. Apple and Google are both evil.

Just a special military operation?

But these laws are not anti immigration, they are anti freedom in general.

It would be funny to give MAGA people affected by Trumps policies some new bootstraps, so they can pull themselves up.
