Piranha Phish

I’ve heard that exact sound used on some computers (lottery maybe?) in gas stations in the US. I’m not sure why they picked that exact sound, but it’s definitely distinct and recognizable.

Uh oh

Completely true. And I would dictate my driving characteristics based on that fact.

I would drive at a speed and in a manner that would allow me to not almost crash into things. But especially trains.

In what way is it not ready to use?

To me it seems you just spent three paragraphs answering your own question.

can’t even see 50 meters ahead

didn’t understand what it was and how to react to it

FSD is not a finished product. It’s under development

doesn’t mean it’s obvious to the AI

If I couldn’t trust a system not to drive into a train, I don’t feel like I would trust it to do even the most common tasks. I would drive the car like a fully attentive human and not delude myself into thinking the car is driving me with “FSD.”

I’ve never hit a train. And I’ve also never almost hit a train. I think I could go my entire life never almost hitting trains and I would still consider that the bare minimum for a mammal with two eyes and a brain.

It’s unreasonable for FSD to see a train? … that’s 20ft tall and a mile long? Am I understanding you correctly?

Foolproof would be great, but I think most people would set the bar at least as high as not getting killed by a train.

My pet peeve has always been when media controls (like volume) are on the right side of the steering wheel rather than the left.

To me it makes a lot less sense to put them on the right when my right hand is already 10 inches away from another set of media controls (left-hand drive vehicle).

My 2004 Mazda, 2018 Mazda, and 2011 Kia all had it figured out and pretty much used the same layout for media controls and accessories like cruise control. My Ford, however, seems like no thought was put into it.

Is this the new GM infotainment system?

fsv or tdfsb

These are 3D filesystem browser apps that let you navigate your filesystem as though files and folders were trees in a forest that you’re walking/flying through.

They were practically useless aside from the wow factor. I believe one may have made it into a movie scene. Jurassic Park?

I should have been more specific. I was hoping this fixes an issue with LO not scaling correctly when using multiple screens with different scaling factors. Unfortunately this is still an issue.

Please tell me it fixes scaling issues on Wayland.

I used BlueProximity for a number of years and it was great.

It eventually became defunct, but that link appears to be a fork to bring it somewhat up to date. I have not tested this new version though since I work from home now.

Line Rider

The --hold feature was introduced with snapd v2.58 which was released as recently as Dec 1, so less than 9 months ago. So I would consider this a relatively new feature.

Furthermore, as best as I can tell from the documentation, there isn’t even a way to configurably hold updates in general or for a specific package like can be done with apt-preferences; refresh.hold only allows 90 days out.

I think it is a perfectly valid criticism that the snap developers didn’t implement this feature at all until well into the life of the product and then, even then, done begrudgingly at best evidenced by the minimal implementation.

Now, I feel like I did my research, but feel free to let me know if there’s something I can do better or if you have any other general life advice for me.

Gen 10 checking in, still works flawlessly.

You can’t beat the ease of firmware updates either. lvfs/fwupdmgr take care of updates for both my laptop and Lenovo TB4 docking station.

Try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before trying to read the data. Or heat it up slightly.

This is an old trick I’ve used to recover data from a hard drive or two. I suppose it could help if the problem with the SD is some kind of microscopic fractures.

It should be emphasized that this is just a temporary workaround at best.

The console is the virtual terminal (VT) seen initially at boot before the desktop login starts up, or where you land if there is no desktop, and where the kernel spits its raw output. It could even be configured to be a physical serial port.

I’m using the term in a similar manner to describe the virtual terminals spawned at boot (typically 7 of them) and occupied either by a login prompt (getty) or the desktop session, and switchable with Alt-Left/Right or using the chvt command. These are analogous to the real terminals of old such as VT100 or even typewriters.

This is in contrast to what we normally call a terminal like xterm or Konsole which runs in the GUI where it is resizable, zoomable, etc. The console, and virtual terminals, are pretty limited in the interactivity they have. For instance, there’s no mouse interaction or copy-paste functionality, at least not without some exotic setup.
