Name checks out.

We have regenerative braking now, the motors do most of the heavy lifting there. Conventional hydraulic brakes only come into play when you need to stop like -now-. There is far less heat in the hubs as a result.

I am of course talking about the muppet who ditched the rubbish, not the copper who was mentally on-point enough to recognise the barcode may provide usable data.

I have twice been able to report illegal dumpers of residential rubbish into local bushland after discovering personally addressed mail items amongst the dross. It's a special kind of idiot.

Yet here you are.

> WHARGARGBLBLLL JUST HOST EMAIL BUY DOMAIN RUG PULL LOL PLEBS SUFFER IN JOCKS

Now go explain that to your parents you insufferable elitists. It's not your problem, it's theirs. And you'll be the ones fielding the phone calls when they lose half their screen space to an ad which for years you have been telling them should not be in their emails, and if they are, it's likely spam.

I'm not. It slipped right past uBo because it is new and is not served from a third party domain.

Why are you so ok with /. getting in on the data slurp? I'll go ahead and assume you have not seen all the third party sharing they will be doing as linked in the pop-up's "privacy" statement..

Why am I seeing a recurring popup asking for my email address and why can I not permanently dismiss it?

The article is once again behind a paywall. Quality stuff guys.

Protip; Always read the post history of new users before engaging them. This one is broken.

Camaros and Mustangs. We used to have the odd smattering of Volvo and Nissan but nowadays its V8 coupe or GTFO it seems, and no one but Ford and Chevy is making them.

Kinda boring.

> HOW HORRIBLE he declared while holding a device with 5 cameras embedded in it, surrounded by people who each have a camera, some in their hands right now.
..None of which were recording as they were obviously not being pointed at him or were in pockets, to which he would have taken umbrage if this was not the case. If they were being pointed he could have moderated his behaviour or left. That's the difference. A discreet camera is far more covert than a fondleslab pointed at your face, which is why glassholes were routinely getting their shit pushed in.

> How do we know this happened?
We don't. Most all private CCTV operators know that if they released vision to anyone other than LEO they are walking a fine line between security of their premises and breach of privacy, especially if they release footage of something that could be interpreted as defamatory or discriminatory. Public CCTV has an even stronger rage cage around it.

I'm glad you're ok with ubiquitous surveillance of all that you do. Please don't assume the rest of us are as docile and passive as you. And if you plan to argue the "nothing to hide" line, please prefix you reply with your email address, SSN, mobile number, and whichever credit card number you happen to have closest at hand.

/. is just a copy-paste news aggregator nowdays. Nothing here matters.

There is a huge difference between stream of consciousnessing out 100 pages of script then using software to hack and slash it into something presentable to a studio, and entering "person writes a story about a robot writing a story, everyone dies at the end, no one looks back at the explosion" into ChatGPT and presenting it as an organic (metaphorically or otherwise) output. Stop being so disingenuous.

In my observation a majority of mobile phone mounts seem to live in the lower corner of the windscreen against the drivers "A" pillar. Based on my rudimentary understanding of human vision, this would still leave the road and what was occurring in front of you within your area of active focus should you cock your eyes 15* sideways to see the fresh memes your aunt just posted.

This is vastly different from looking at lest 30* or more down and sideways at the dash screen, a good chunk of your focus area is now consumed by dashboard. Personally I feel a lot more sketchy looking at the in-dash satnav when using rentals that have them, to a point where I will still mount my phone up in the corner and use it instead.

It would be fairly easy to argue passive viewing of a mobile phone in a window mounted position is a lot safer than a dash mount screen as your visual cone of focus is never really far from whats happening in front of you. Assuming you are not doing something stupid like watching youtube or using other active content, which I still see far too often.
