Comment Re:Android phones too (Score 1) 126

Android 12 has a "feature" that allows you to easily pocket dial the emergency number. By default, the touch screen remains active for 5 seconds after the screen turns off.

Since I upgraded from Android 11 to 12, I suddenly started dialing 112 (emergency number in Europe) about once a week. My default workflow (check phone, push power button, put in pocket) left the touch screen on for a full 5 seconds. Looking though the settings, I finally found this en set it to 0 seconds. Not a single emergency call since.

I don't know about Autopilot, but cruise control in the model 3 will certainly accelerate to speeds above where it was set if the car thinks the speed limit has changed. Example from the one time I was a passenger in a Tesla: driving through a construction zone where 90 km/h was allowed and set for the cruise control the car suddenly decided the limit was 40, slammed on the brakes, then decides it's actually 130 and starts accelerating hard until it notices the car in front and hits the brakes again. Not behaviour I would have expected from cruise control, nor an experience I would have enjoyed if I had been behind the wheel myself.

Comment Studer, D&R, KRK (Score 1) 236

I have a 2", 24 track Studer A820, which I run through a 32 frame D&R Orion into a Mackie Big Knob, selecting either a pair of KRK Rokit RP10-3s or a pair of tiny Denon speakers, powered by a NAD amp. The problems I still need to solve are mainly hooking up outboard gear: compressors, delays, reverbs.
