can’t be happy with it in grapheneos due to lack of all the google telemetry

can’t use it in stock due to being aware of all the google telemetry

it’a a joke, grapheneos is the best

That feels more like shitty electronics rather than something inherent for start stop. Sometimes my car fails to figure out that it’s time to engage the clutch and I’m sitting and revving like an idiot without moving. Modern cars are terrible, unfortunately, parts for older cars are terrible as well.

yeah, it was the first time for me as well. I thought the re-enabling on each start was mandated by law (as well as stuff like ESP and emergency collision avoidance), but this car lets me disable anything, forever (well, it glitches sometimes and resets settings to factory, thankfully all the things I want disabled are displayed on screen)

I once rented the cheapest three cylinder Renault to drive in the mountainous terrain in 40 degree heat. The car barely managed to go uphill but not once I had problems with the AC or the start stop system. In the heat the car would stop the engine and then turn it back on as soon as temperature deviated from the set target. This would repeat two to three times, then it would just preemptively show a message on the screen saying “prioritizing thermal comfort” when stopped. The start-stop would resume as usual when it got cooler, no input was required at all.

Never got the hate for the feature, you just have to remember to jerk the steering wheel a bit before the light change if starting 1.5 seconds earlier is critical.

I drive a newish Chinese car and it does not reset from factory. The button has a persistent state and I have to go through 3 menus on the touch screen to toogle it. Drives me mad as I want to disable the start-stop very rarely in humid conditions and remembering to turn it back on is a chore.

Please share your experience when you get to it! I try to avoid iot stuff though and thought of something simpler like dimmable lights that get warmer when dimmed - like the Ikea ones, but with 2700k as the highest point it does not really work.

I thought that maybe the ideal solution would be to wire DC lightning with relays controlling groups of different temperature LEDs. Maybe glueing LED strips to the ceiling and a translucent film under them to diffuse it a bit? I feel like ordering a giant bin of random LEDs should lead to the best possible CRI.

Also each of the 8 bulbs I ordered had Ra>95 written on the box and they just lie because I can instantly tell that the light is wrong. Bad CRI is so prevalent that friends come to my house and think my lights are incandescent.

Yes, we only turn the lights on after the sun’s color temperature matches our 2700K lights. During the cloudy winter days we spend the entire day in darkness to avoid mismatched temperature.

Sometimes I really want to get adjustable LEDs for winter, but it is hard enough to find warm ones with a high enough CRI. I once ordered and returned about 8 different bulbs which had price points from €2 to €100, before going to Ikea and buying bulbs there.

After about a thousand commits in my config I no longer know how to do stuff the normal way. A few days ago I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to run python with modules without resorting to shell.nix

But are you truly using nixos, if you don’t have a swarm of 10+ machines that do distributed builds?Can you really say that your system is deployable, if you never tested it on an obscure ARM board and a laptop from 2005?

A few months ago I decided to upgrade my home server. I estimated that 4 2TB nvme SSDs will cost about 350 eur and ordered a nice new ARM box with 64GB RAM and a PCIe thing to split an x8 slot to 4 M.2s.

The box has arrived last week so I went to order the nvmes and it turned out that the cheapest 2TB SSD is 200 eur now. For the price of one! Now I don’t have the disks and the past few days I’ve been restless and thinking whether I should just eat the cost now or wait for the prices to fall back. Recent NVIDIA keynotes talk about increasing context size or whatever so it looks like the cost will only rise in the near future.

Fuck NVIDIA and fuck everyone who participates in the latest hype cycle.

steam deck as bluetooth controller:

You can use the Steam Deck as a Bluetooth controller by enabling Bluetooth in the settings and pairing it with your PC or other devices. This allows you to utilize its controls for gaming on compatible platforms.

That’s strange - vanilla gnome should start in overview mode and dash is populated with gnome apps by default. Aside from that, there’s a button in the upper left corner that goes into overview if you press it.

Maybe your install did get corrupted, because literally my grandma could figure it out. On the other hand, most mainstream distros ship with dash to dock and discoverability must be the reason.

I’m not saying murder is fine. I just can’t agree that your generalization is true. There are many different ways to end up in armed forces and be forced to kill other people.

If a person has been in that situation, we can’t just assign them into a “murderer” group and try to placate them for everything that is going wrong. That is how we got to the current far-right ‘conservative’ support rise in almost every country. Instead, we should approach those people and try to educate them on how they were wronged by the current state of affairs. Then, together, we have a chance to make things better.

I’m pretty sure that if you ask, 99% of veterans won’t tell you that they enjoyed murdering people or think that that is ok. Usually they become very sad and/or exhibit PTSD symptoms.

You know, at first I didn’t agree with you, then I read your post again and thought I agree, then I thought some more and went back and forth before finally deciding to not engage.

However, please stop seeing things in black and white and having arguments over it. Increased polarisation and ‘us vs them’ mentality in society can only lead to more violence.
