My wife called me out on this but I can do better price comparisons across multiple sites and also have a full size keyboard for typing all the fields I know won't be correctly filled in, so yeah -- it's a laptop activity 🤫🫠
@scathach@nik bro it's the phone system, this is critical infrastructure bro you don't understand, it needs a special computer bro, trust me, I know VoLTE is just SIP but it's a special SIP bro, you can't just REGISTER sip:10.10.2.20 SIP/2.0 bro, it :shepicide:
edit: it closes the connection like a firewall is rejecting the packets. It's crazy if you run into this and are trying to troubleshoot why it's not working.
though this makes me want to hack Nginx servers and find a way to inject this in which will lead to absolute chaos when nobody can figure out why the server just sends a TCP RST back
If you want free water, buy land and drill a well. You deal with the capital expense and maintenance.
If you want free electricity, buy land and erect solar. You deal with the capital expense and maintenance.
Dreaming of a world where power utilities exist and somehow suffer through periods of negative prices is complete ignorance about how the energy markets even work. Or how long term capital projects and maintenance are funded. If the utilities aren't getting paid, banks aren't getting paid. And you're not going to like what happens next.
So tired of fake car safety activists screaming about how touch screens are inherently dangerous when they don't spend any time experiencing what it's like to switch between car manufacturers because they live in a world where they e.g., only buy Fords so nothing ever changes in their view and everything is familiar
I'm on a vacation and my mother in law who has been driving for 40 years can't figure out how to get her Nissan into Reverse because they made the shifter bizarrely complicated for no good reason at all
I'm driving this piece of shit to pick up some necessities and nearly getting killed because there's a million buttons and lights everywhere unlabeled, all the steering wheel controls -- of which there are far too many to be safe -- are in a completely different layout than every other car I've driven.
This shit complete lunacy. The problem isn't touch screens, it's familiarity. If you want cars to be safe you need to mandate a standard layout of all buttons and controls in every car. Zero deviation. Every car should be identical.
Give me back my Tesla, a car that's actually safe to drive and has as minimal of an interior as possible
@a32 I've never needed to dig into menus to change something important while the vehicle is moving. Voice controls generally work fine for those cases when other creature comforts are needed. Hell, my wife can change things from her phone if she was in the back seat
Cruise, wipers, lights, signals are all physical.
I think people are disillusioned into thinking you can't turn on your headlights without going into a menu or something
I think it might be a good time to revisit Delta Chat, an E2EE chat system that actually piggybacks over email. Setup an email server somewhere, give accounts to trusted parties, everyone's messages are routed through one known trusted system
You can reuse existing email accounts and it does work for every email provider, but for ultimate privacy it would probably be wise to use an email server that does nothing else
