That’s likely the case, but the clock application is very much something I would not only expect to come with the operating system, but would consider it a solved problem in the first place. I should not need to look for a FOSS clock. It should be standard feature everywhere, and just work. I could have whipped out a passible clock app second year of university.
Oh man, my wife bought a 2023 Rogue, and the seatbelt notification goes off for all three back seats, even if no one is back there! And you can't turn it off! The dealership recommended just buckling all the back seats by default. It is, by a pretty wide margin, the most irritating thing about that machine. I understand the frustration. I guess I'm more diligent about the front seat buckles, because I've never even seen the front seat buckle light.
I'm from an era where jailbreaking and installing whatever you'd like on a device was the wild west, and have seen nasty stuff accidentally sideloaded. Giving people the option to infect their cars with ransomware could get people killed, so not opening that can of worms isn't the worst idea necessarily. That said, FOSS stuff is usually fine, but I highly doubt it would be a fully encompassed ecosystem that you'd be installing. It'll have add-ons, other smaller projects. Tweaks. That's where you'll get into trouble.
But… you should really wear a seatbelt. Actually, haven't cars been giving users seatbelt alarms for like… over 30 years now? It's a strange hill to die on, friend.
Yes, absolutely. I do not, however, like the idea of "Pay us $1M or we disable your brakes on the highway" kind of ransomware attacks.
I've got an original Pi running PiHole, I've got a Pi4 running my Plex + Servarr Suite, and a Pi2 B running a LAMPP stack and dev environment.
I work on the enterprise apps team at my university. We’d dump that so hard you’d think we were using it to get liftoff. Definitely complain. Also, it’s not inclusive to students without smart devices (they exist!).
If they do still have the option for manual use (with ID card scanners), there are a number of membership card / ID card wallets that are free on most platforms. You can just type the barcode into the app, and it’ll make a virtual card that can be scanned. Same convenience, no physical plastic. If you’re not offended by Google products, Google Wallet works pretty well. Or Stocard, but I’m not sure what level of tracking they implement. Granted, you’re still installing an app, but you get to pick your poison a bit, instead of being railroaded into Facebook shenanigans.
Fair enough! I mean, that would be really nice tbh. Also it makes me realize that consoles only exist for DRM, which is sucky. Granted, I stopped buying consoles almost a decade ago, so I never stopped to think about it.
My dude, essential is an antonym for expendable. Literally opposites. By definitions of both words, something cannot by both expendable and essential. But logic aside, calling a person essential to the point of denying their own safety to perform their job, but saying they can be replaced at any minute is frankly cruel.
Two years ago, they were “essential”, and the idea of them getting any kind of benefit to prevent harm was unthinkable. Shafted at both ends of the spectrum.
Small nitpick. I’m not sure why you don’t like the idea of the vendor having stuff installed on hardware they make, to ensure it functions optimally. Like, on a primary compute device, sure, be picky about the OS. But this is a game platform. Nobody gives a shit that Nintendo makes their own OS for their hardware, why does anyone care how the Steam Deck does it’s thing?
It’s good on paper, so long as a critical number of them aren’t bad actors. You kinda got the same problem with US politics at the moment. It works until it doesn’t, like everything else.
Technically that’s what a board of directors is for. They are the ones who can axe a CEO and hire another.
If people could pay double, things would cost double. Quality likely wouldn’t change.
It is the employees responsibility to make sure the store looks nice, sure. It’s basic human decency to respect people and not make them do bullshit tasks because you’re too lazy to put in the bare minimum.
You’d be agitated too if someone came to your work, threw all your shit on the floor and walked away. Now it’s your problem to deal with, but it didn’t need to be. Someone decided they wanted to choose being a cancer on society and make it your problem.
Never profits, always revenue. Profits can be gobbled up by some internal bonus or “future investment in a project”, thus making it $0. Revenue is all the money generated before allocations and expenses come out. Much harder to weasle out of.
It’s the port for a Minecraft Java server.
You can also use those same balls to capture people. And eat them.
