Comment it can for sure be made smart (Score 1) 196

if it is repairable it is also expandable. So there will for sure be a 3rd party market to add on GPS auto drive and other fancy automatic things and computers.
Which can be added by the farmers if they wish.
And if the addons break (as they always do) the remaining tractor is not affected and can still do its basic task.

Comment I got so upset about this that I stoipped twitter (Score 1) 388

Hey,

I got so upset by his decision that I called the amazing triumvirat of Bezos, Musk and Trump as fascists and wished death and destruction.
Well my twitter account got supended for inciting violence.

And now I am too lazy to jump through the hoops to get it unblocked.

I think that's a good thing, no?

Hi

I use wayland since 4 months on Fedora.
I am a bit underwelmed.
Especially crahsed programs not being able to move their windows is so Microsoft style. That's the thing I always loved about X11. Just move the misbehave program out of the way.
And then there is also no cool screensaver to look at.

Comment No single platform with all content = I download (Score 1) 257

Greed creates piracy.

There was netflix and nothing else, you could find almost everything there.
Then came amazon and disney who want to split the cake.
But each piece of the cake cost the same as the full cake previously.

So no thanks.

As long as there is no law requiring that any streaming provider MUST provide content form the other providers as well, then there will be piracy.
I am not going to pay a dozen online behemoths to be able to watch the stuff I like.

Torrent it is.

Comment ext4 and office (Score 1) 99

I would like Windows to be able to open linux style filesystems (natively, not with an addon kludge).
Maybe that would be the time to add case sensitivity to the OS so to be able to distinguish readme.txt and Readme.txt on such a filesystem.

I also would like linux to have the MS office suite with visio an excel.

Comment 12:00 is when the sun is in the zenith (Score 1) 376

so why do we want to change that?
The definition per-se of noon is "sun in zenith".

If people feel it's dark too early, well then change working times par law, instead of changing time per law.
It's so silly
Some law says we should start work at 8, but it's dark. Oh, let's do another law to change the time, so it's sunny at 8.

This is sooo Trump

because harvesting EM radiation for free to power your sensors removes that power from the transmission. This means that the general distance to which the signal usually travels is shortened. The emitter will not be happy to need to increase power output to get his signal along only because there are power harvesters along the line.

Comment Self driving car terror act (Score 4, Interesting) 367

Some virus or a targeted attack makes self driving cars run through shopping malls or drive off bridges.

This could even happen if there is a GPS glitch making all maps offset by 100m to the east and the selfdriving software being buggy and assuming the GPS is right and the camera is wrong.

On one DrWho episode (or was it Torchwood?) there is an automated car system which is tricked into killing it's drivers on purpose.

Comment privacy solved: Take a picture of the screen (Score 1) 300

The reciept-less tellers will have a big e-paper display facing the customer which shows the complete reciept.
It includes a fingerprint certifying that it's signed by the shop's private key.
The customer uses his phone to take a picture of the reciept. Done.

If the customer does not have a camera, he pushes a button and gets a printout.

See... there is no email address involved. Completely anonymous.

This solution is visibly so simple that nobody will even think about it.
