If you can use your phone to control everything, then the only device you need with you is your phone.

And when you lose your phone or it's stolen? Or if it somehow gets bricked after an upate? Or gets compromised?

There's this thing called single point of failuare.

Considering that for the one-time investment of $150 and a half hour of your time you could not have to do that any more? Hell yes, you're crazy.

Agreed. If someone wants a movie or music or software, they can request it from the owners and can only use the item they were specifically given permission to use. Otherwise, they have to pay for it.

Samsung is collection of several companies and if you've ever spent any time working with them you quickly realize that they all prioritize other Samsung companies below other customers. I don't know whether it's because of anti-trust concerns, or market strategy, or just rivalry, but I've never seen any Samsung company that operated any differently. I worked quite a bit with Samsung Mobile and S.LSI, who are even quite interdependent (though S.LSI depends more on Samsung Mobile than the reverse), and they constantly ignored and even dissed one another.

There's no way your driver's ed class failed to mention that traffic is required to stop for school buses with their red lights flashing, and I think it's unlikely that your written test failed to include a question about school zone and school bus rules. Mine (Utah) certainly did.

In rural areas, like where I live, there aren't any marked crossings, and there really isn't any reasonable place to put them. If you mark a crossing it would only ever be used by the one or two houses near it, and only by school children, because there's really no need for anyone to walk across the street otherwise. The school buses stop directly in front of each child's house. There aren't any locations where a bus could pick up multiple children without making them have to walk an unreasonable distance, so each kid's house is a stop.

Also, the speed limit on my road is 45 mph, and cars routinely drive 55 mph... so having the "huge yellow beast" with flashing red lights and a flipped-out, flashing red stop sign is definitely necessary.

The only reason they deleted the databases was because they were let go by Trump. Most likely because they were Biden hires.

How many other hackers who have served time are subsequently hired by the government? Should we complain about that as well? We know of at least one who ran a site which offered services to hackers, and he was given the keys to the kingdom. How much private data do you think he exfiltrated?

The real issue is, once again, a private company didn't follow basic security procedures and let these two have access while they were being fired. Standard practice is to disable all access and escort from building when being fired. Neither was done in this case.

There was Palestine. That's a distinction without a difference.

And just look at the beautiful Genocide they've created there!

I'm not siding with anyone here. I dislike all religious ethnostates because they always go wrong at some point. The only thing I like is when they become more secular, like Iran was before the USA tampered with it. I am siding against genocide. If Israel can stop doing a genocide, I can stop disliking Israel for doing genocide and just focus on their religious oppression.

Vs. the Koreans what Honda offers isn't so much more as less, specifically fewer vehicle fires due to failures of the fuel supply line or injector bodies.

It will be interesting to see if Korea has reversed this with their EVs, but first Japan has to actually sell EVs, and second time has to pass.

Honda is showing the beginning of the end by selling cars not designed by them, so maybe you won't have to wait too long for their come-uppance. Their only full sized EV is a GM product and they didn't even bother making any interior changes so it doesn't even look or feel like a Honda inside. It sounds like this can only be an improvement at this point.

It's so weird given that Honda was the undisputed champ of making a good simple reliable car in the 1990s. How did they get here? Did they hire execs from Sony?

Oh yeah, Gemini is great!

I finally just had to block the AI search results on Google because they are so much worse than worthless every single time. The "citations" linked never say what Google claims they say. Every time I search for information on something I know about already I can see that Gemini doesn't know shit.

Russia loves cutting cables, we should give them more of what they love... at home.

I'm sure they'd find a way to export their porn via other means, so nothing of value would be lost.

Actually, I'd miss ÐYоÐÐÐон-98 but I could live with it.

Yes, I know that isn't readable. I just don't care any more. Besides, there's no way to make it readable here.

The latter exists anywhere there is the former, but there are good and obvious reasons why aircraft should have to be highly regulated.

A part made with fiberglass which was somehow made with a resin that was as heat affected as ABS would have the exact same problem as the part that failed. The problem isn't the nature of the CF, the problem is that it can't do its job if the plastic melts.

Unfortunately there's no chance of appealing to Mr. Netanyahu to tear down that wall. There's also little to no chance of him being dragged off to the Hague while Israel can stand in America's shadow and thumb its nose at the UN.
