CameronDev,

This isnt a gps specific problem though, its an inaccurate map problem. If the road isnt marked as 4wd only on the paper map you’d be in just as much trouble.

Although i guess the paper map might provide more traction than a gps when you wedge it under the wheel :D

CameronDev,

Nothing you said there is exclusive to paper maps. You can still stop and check the GPS when something is wrong. On a recent holiday I did exactly that when a scenic detour got a lot rougher than expected (It was even better, as i could use the satelite view to see that the road didnt just drive through a lake, which a paper map could not show).

There have been plenty of people who have followed paper maps to their deaths as well. You could argue that GPS has lowered the bar, but its not the map, its the navigator.

CameronDev,

Ive had some luck in the past fixing roads in google maps, but havent tried lately. Were paper map publishers better? At least an app can be updated, whereas a published paper map is pretty much static.

CameronDev,

I got that, and I do see your point, just disagree with it is all. A physical map can provide very similar levels of encouragement and confidence as a digital one.

As a kid when my parents were teaching me to navigate with melways I made the exact same kinds of mistakes - “The map says its here, it must be here”

Maybe phone apps provide more encouragement, but im unconvinced that “just use a paper map” is actually the answer. Learn your tool is the right answer in my opinion. (And perhaps borrow from Aviation: Aviate Drive, Navigate, Communicate)

CameronDev,

Buy with stolen credit cards, easy to flip on gumtree. The urgency is probably due to the cards getting cancelled at any time (or fraud protection kicking in). The article wasnt clear on whose cards were being used.

I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!'

The way people online constantly say ‘talk to your doctor’ like it’s a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren’t able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy’s interpretations...

CameronDev,

Err, homeopathy often does have poison in it, one of the more famous “treatments” is watered down belladonna as a “teething gel”.

CameronDev,

The best part, is people wont sit near you if your wearing a mask because they think your sick.

CameronDev,

A bit of sniffling helps sell it, but it definitely seems to keeo people away from me. Or maybe i just smell bad :D

CameronDev,

Wearing a bulletproof vest is pretty weak. Coward

CameronDev,

They didnt even say awesome, just even. So presumably they cherry picked the test and still only got even…

CameronDev,

Yeah, i mean, that kinda proves my point, the AI has some major physical advantages, but still only broke even? Seems like its very early days.

I have heard the “dog fighting is a thing of the past” for decades at this point, they still keep building new fighters with guns. Im not yet convinced its true. With stealth and electronic warfare being more and more common, perhaps there will be a comeback?

But I am no expert, i just like airshows :)

CameronDev, (edited )

The F16 can out fly a pilot though right? It can pull 9g which will eventually overwhelm the pilot? Still has the reaction speed benefits though.

Edit: i just remembered there is still a pilot onboard, so it probably isnt allowed to just pull 9g turns constantly.

Has there been much fighter to fighter combat in Ukraine? I thought it was mostly drones and anti-air lately. Havent really been following it much.

CameronDev,

Havent considered generators, but i suspect it wouldnt work out.

I am spending ~$300 per year to keep myself connected to the grid. Maybe a couple extra hundred or so on power I draw from the grid. I assume i would spend far more than that on a suitable sized generator?

Plus my goal was to avoid burning fossil fuels, so a generator kinda defeats that purpose :D

CameronDev,

They did learn the lesson. The fed will bail them out.

CameronDev,

If i buy enough cars he is gonna send me feet pics <3

CameronDev,

The name alone strongly suggests that. I am willing to bet they will drop any LGBT sites with no hesitation.

CameronDev,

I think they just advertised how trivial it would be to take their website down…

CameronDev,

r/techsupportgore will be full of people dropping their ram on those pins and damaging them. Still cool though.

CameronDev,

Guess who the other owner of ULA is…

CameronDev,

My impression, and correct me if I am wrong, is that Boeings issues are largely management/culture driven (this may just be the plane side of the business though). The Atlas 5 this is being launched on may have been designed by LM, but it was still built under the same management/culture.

But either way, the Atlas 5 is a very reliable rocket, so the scorn isnt really that deserved.

Write an alias/function to do it and add to your bashrc.


<span style="color:#323232;">function nanox() {

</span><span style="color:#323232;">    chmod +x "$1"

I suspect that if you connected to your work vpn from a personal VPN IP address that may raise some questions. “Dave keeps connecting from inside Amazons data center, thats weird”.

Turning on wifi to scan would be trivial technically. Hidden GPS maybe, but its more likely that they would just have an overt GPS module if they cared.

A wired in airtag or similar would probably be doable, and wouldnt be visible to the OS.

Latency analysis would probably be quite tricky. If you had starlink or dialup your latency would be pretty bad to begin with.

Realistically, if the employer was concerned about company data leaving the country they wouldnt be allowing WFH at all.

CameronDev,

They often get described as leftists, but mostly seemed like they were just trolls looking to pick fights. If someone told me they were a false-flag to discredit leftists, I would beleive it.

CameronDev,

When a human nurse makes a mistake, i usually brush it off as someone overworked and tired, and let it go.

If an AI makes a mistake I am suing the hospital, regardless of the impact.

Something for these hospital administrators to think about.

CameronDev,

If its that serious, dont take your phone (or any device). A nation state will have no trouble tracking you if you’re a worthy target.

You are asking in the wrong place. Your country will have a department of foreign affairs or similar, you should be speaking to them. They are the experts.
