Pro) It's a good idea. The long range of AM stations coupled by their non-dependance on a network make them important for emergencies. Like nuclear war, meteor strike scale stuff I mean. We can probably do without for the more localized disasters. And also, assuming they have a generator, solar or something for power but I bet some do.

Con) But only a small fraction of the population would have any idea that they should turn it on and listen. If this is to be considered important there also needs to be a public awareness program.

Pro) Cost? Really? What, 50 US cents to add that?

Con) EV re-design might be required due to interference as mentioned in TFA.

Pro) Don't require that! How about AM is only guaranteed to work when the car is off (accessory mode). Otherwise you get what you get through the interference. But then... these are EVs, no constantly running engine... just make it work when stopped or coasting, not accelerating or something like that.

Neutral) Wait a minute... they are allowing these things to be manufactured with enough RF emission to blank out the AM band? Come on, I want EVs to succeede too but enough of ignoring part 15 rules! How much interference are EVs adding to AM broadcast and all other bands for people who are not currently riding in the car? Regulate that shit!

Security in a coffee shop?
They would have to fake the ssl/tls key
So I think that means it's a site you haven't been to or at least don't have the key cached?
But then.. they would have to fake the certificate provider right?
And communication with that would go back to a key that is built into your browser or SSL library right?
So I guess they have to spoof your package repository and send you an "update".

Sounds like a lot!
Am I misunderstanding how this works?

NEVER show management, support, sales, whoever steers the cart in your shop something that works unless you are ready to package it up, ship it out and never get to improve it again.

And this is exactly why.

If it isn't done.. don't show 'em.

This!

Maybe schools that work that way need not be rated so high...

I take the paper from the student to ChatGPT and I take the grade from ChatGPT to the student.

I'm a people person DAMNIT!

With academics pushing out papers simply because their performance is measured in quantity of papers written how many of those papers are actually worth the bits they are stored in? Are people of the future ever going to want to read most of them?

Not that I have a better idea to offer...

Ok. Plenty of others have already commented here that hams still use morse code all the time.

So.. trying to make sense of the articles claim beyond just assuming the author does not know what they are talking about...
Someone else said last COMMERCIAL station. Ok, I'll buy that.

But what about this mention of Maritime Morse?

I am familiar with International Morse Code, which is what hams use... all the time.
I am familiar with American or Railroad Morse(as in I know what it is, not that I know it). I understand there is a much smaller group of hams keeping that one alive.

But what is Maritime Morse? Is that just a lesser used name for International Morse Code? Or is it it's own dialect and maybe something that they ARE unique in keeping going?

"She's the only one on Earth..."

Why? Because she is closest to him?
What do you know about their family dynamics?
And how close are YOU to their situation?

Sit down.

It's just yet another consequence of society buying into marketing BS that modern devices shouldn't have wires.

Unless you are talking about the back fields of a large ranch or something.. wires are pretty much always better.

"I don't want my care phoning home to mothership with ANY information"

That should be your right.

But I do wish that apps which give this would shut down all real-time routing when the user chooses that. Don't want to contribute to real time traffic data? Road closures? etc... No problem. Just don't bitch when you get stuck in traffic or have to find your own way around a road closure.

It's only fair.

WTF is everyone?

The only people I have ever heard of using RedHat are big enterprise corporations and really conservative small business people that read what the big corps are doing and think they can get to be big by emulating them.

Does RedHat supply something that other Linux's don't which is useful for those huge corporate environments? Maybe. I wouldn't know. Nor care.

Everyone else seems to use some sort of Debian or Debian derivative. Well, except maybe a home hobbyist here and there who uses Arch or Gentoo.

Why TF anyone would choose RedHat I just don't know. I mean.. for a day they were a big deal when they had RPM and nobody else had a sophisticated package manager. When was that, 1996, 1997? Then came Mandrake who did everything better, way better desktop and they even had a primitive repository manager, urpmi. Then Debian with Apt kicked all their asses. But that's all ancient history now, 1990s. I don't understand why RedHat even exists except that they probably have slick sales people that know how to relate to the stuffed suit types.

What can't be done by installing Debian then following an internet tutorial?
When was the last time a Google search for "how to do X" came up with a RedHat tutorial? Has it ever?
On the exceedingly rare instance that one actually finds a software package that is only offered by it's manufacturer, not your distro's repository are they more likely to offer it in .deb or .rpm?

What office software should they write? Certainly not the OS. Hell, even Mickeysoft seems to be giving Windows away for free download these days let alone the thousands of free Linux distros that offer the same software as RedHat but better packaged. What Office software could they write? An Office Suite? How much investment to make it better than LibreOffice? You mentioned games. I think that and highly specific niche-ware is all that's left which can't be obtained free and open. But why would offices be buying games?

Free won.

Either make the paid support model work, go into games or find a niche that is too small to attract OSS devs. It's that last one which keeps my employer and myself fed.

It's like Open Source but you can't use it for any commercial purposes.

As a closed source software developer by day and more of an open source software user than a developer by night I am coming at this from more of an open source hardware perspective as that I do contribute to.

I pass on including or contributing to any non-commercial licensed projects. Sorry.. I think helping them would be a waste of my time and ultimately counter-productive.

Now, I'm not making anything to sell myself. But I was there to watch what happened with 3D printers. Sure, a lot of people that wanted to make their living building reprap variants hate the way this turned out with China undercutting them at every turn. But to users who are also builders it is amazing!

You can download and print your machine upgrades yourself. Or.. don't have time or skills for that or just don't feel like it today? That's OK, just buy it!

When I am not at my day job and am contributing to a community project that is the sort of thing I chose to contribute to. Screw those non-comm licenses. Wanna keep your toys to yourself in the corner? Fine... go play in the corner. I'll be out in the open working on something cool.

And that is my opinion.

Every time I see one of these articles I end up Googling Wayland remote to see if sanity has kicked in.

So there are lots of results if you want to switch to Ubuntu. I do not want to switch to Ubuntu. Even less do I want to have anything to do with Gnome. I can tell you where to shove Ubuntu and Gnome.

X doesn't care what distro or applications I run, what lightweight unknown window manager or big heavy mainstream desktop I choose. Remote is always an option. Well.. it gets a little tricky if the application calls for 3d effects but nothing virtualgl can't sort out.

I'm sure there's some way to do it. Something involving layering compositors on top of one another available only after reading 10,000 man files that all feel like they were written by Lennart Poettering. But it shouldn't take a degree in OS development just to get a f'ng remote desktop.

Nor should it require switching to a mainstream desktop manager or distro.
