Maybe go with a longer range RFID and implant it somewhere visible so there’s less signal attention from clothes and such.

Eventually the ones who don’t necessarily need to drive might go on public transit. The more they do, the more room for those who have to drive. 🥹

Sounds like heavier bombs would keep the second number lower. 🧠☠️

Aten/IO Gear work well. There’s rarely any problems. If something goes wrong, a power cycle fixes it. If I’m buying again, I might go for the Level1Techs.

Slow switching is normal. In my case it takes 3-4 seconds for all the USB devices to get reconnected to the other machine.

If the keyboard or mouse doesn’t work in the dedicated ports, you can use the general USB port with a hub. I had a keyboard that wouldn’t work using the built-in port.

If you have particular problems with Bluetooth it might be EMI noise. Put the receiver on an extension cable.

IO Gear is also Aten and is available retail. I have the GCS1934 which I use daily. Came with nice cables and all. Unfortunately all DisplayPort KVMs are super expensive.

DVI is cheap, HDMI is reasonable, then there’s DP. If you can get away with DVI or HDMI you could save some money. Personally I didn’t want HDMI for the future proofing as well as the DP version I got supports multiple monitors per port allowing to bug a smaller KVM for multi monitor use. I haven’t tested the multi monitor functionality yet. 😅

We knew Doug is gonna fuck it up we just weren’t sure exactly how. This is so fucking sad. Him and his brother have wasted so much investment in the quality of life for people in Ontario and Toronto it’s just criminal. His brother set back transit in Toronto by a decade with nothing to show for it.

I think it’s the only way to reverse the corporate shit show that’s taken over the country.

Just when you thought this couldn’t get any more stupid.

Let’s see how long the “let’s repeal the carbon tax” premiers react.

Brilliant idea 💡

How the fuck isn’t this at the top?

In a couple of sentences, why should labor be largely interchangeable? I haven’t read much but I imagine there’s a straightforward argument. If there isn’t and it requires a page, don’t worry about it! 😊

Oh I get it now. Thanks! I’ve come to similar conclusions about division of labor in families I’ve observed and its effects on them. In my family, everyone yields the power tools and does the laundry.

Oh this sounds brilliant. And they can’t even show what the targets are because they don’t know them. Some lambda computes them on the fly, per person, per hour.

This isn’t about technology at all. It’s about labor costs. UAW labor costs more because its workers are paid well and they don’t get maimed by robots much. If in doubt, check the profit margins of the Big Three. The higher labor cost is also required because the standard of living is completely different. People in NA can’t work for Chinese wages and survive. And if you want to create a race to the bottom, that’s anti-worker. The shareholder class of the Big Three is still making disproportionately more than workers but this is one of the North American examples where there’s much more balance between them and workers.

Honda and Toyota posed the same problem and they were forced to create factories here in order to eliminate the labor cost disparity that would have destroyed the lives of UAW members. I don’t think many would have a problem with BYD building NA factories, especially if unionized by the UAW.

@Buelldozer is right, he’s just being extra spicy about it.

“paid well” only has meaning in the context of standard of living, or cost of living. You provided that context. Within it they’re paid relatively well. They’re not getting state pensions or healthcare anytime soon so we work within the context.

Yeah I’m a bit puzzled because I think these folks are supportive of labor given they seem positive about workers in China having better safety nets. Yet letting cars in that will destroy local manufacturing isn’t going to do anything positive for North American labor. If anything is going to help, it’s supporting them instead of non-union car makers and supporting union action at non-union manufacturers. I’m of the opinion that we can’t expect any improvements from the political class before we take more of the profits so we can buy those politicians like corporations have. They simply won’t represent labor to a significant extent unless they see workers as organized voting blocks that don’t lap up corporate propaganda.

• Preparations for a kernel panic screen as sort of like a Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSoD).

This is my favorite part.

You should check the current election opinion polls. Likud and the other far right parties are currently projected to lose by several seats in some polls. I think you might be underestimating the potential yield of Bibi’s tactic to keep the zealots happy. They might be able to gain a few points and win another election, with smaller Likud in the coalition.

Unions and huge wage increases.
