Contrary to your belief I am not a Cult of Trump member.
I happen to like isolationism and self protection. He hit multiple aspects of those issues.
That outweighs the other concerns for me. Including his support of the terrorist government of Israel. Or whatever he feels about women.
now that he's openly boasting about being on Russia's side of the Ukraine issue
I do not know where he stands.
I have zero problem with Russia attempting to reunite previous Russian (predates USSR) territory populated by primarily Russian and related populations of no support Russian, not Ukrainian, governmental control.
I think Ukraine is a dictatorship at far greater risk and threat to the world than anyone else.
And it’s the ties to US politicians that keep me from ever voting for or supporting many who run for office. Be it Clinton or Biden. Ukrainian ties and support make it a no-go.
As I have said since 2015 I blame Clinton for the ethnic murders in Ukraine of Russian, Rus, and Gypsim peoples.
I despise the tax shelter for US politics.
I have a serious dislike for that government.
That is documented in my comments here and elsewhere long before trump took any position on the area.
but again, modern central consoles often have a lot more functionality than simple playing the radio
… I’m agreeing with you: btw.
Your closer to my realm of experience here: old, custom, and embedded.
Many have no clue just how integrated the modern computer systems in vehicles are.
Take Crs/Fiat. 100 percent of the system is software. There’s no manual override for any of the infotainment or comfort offerings.
Heated items are controlled by apps. Seat positions. Security settings. Safety. All apps.
Blow/brick anything in the system and ftw. Out of luck.
GM is a bit better with more secondary controllers and separated manual options and overrides for basic functions.
I don’t know about Mazda systems myself. But from my dodge and GM experience… if it’s closer to the Dodge method those car fixes are going to be expensive. And painful for drivers until a fix is done.
You mandating that the owner of a property can not make decisions about who is allowed or not allowed access to the property.
This is private property after all. Single entity ownership.
Those that live on the property are renters. Not owners.
Should renting an apartment for 1 month give you more rights than renting a hotel room for a month eg at Extended Stay America or Red Roof Inn?
This appears to be a violation of personal liberty to me; telling the owner that they can’t make their own decisions.
Good point. There’s no sense in demanding to preach to people who don’t want to listen. Go where they want to listen instead. There a plenty of services that won’t drop you for your political opinions.
Re: Some AI generated works shouldn't be public domain.
My thoughts on copyright and copyleft are well documented here and elsewhere.
I don’t like either. But I have a hard time looking at something that should be free as in freedom and then looking at all the rules that are attached to that.
First is the idea of a “sting” operation; commonly considered legal if the cop never lies and says outright they are not police/LE etc.
the act of lying about it has been hit and miss in fault/legality. And I do not consider it legal to deny. Personally
See, if you walk up to a guy on a street corner and ask to buy crack…!
If the dealer happens to be a cop? Well, you get arrested. For purchase and possession.
If you ask the guy if he’s a cop first, things are more complicated.
But more importantly I want to hit on something in the end of the article.
…which may lead to officers impersonating people from targets' social circles…
That would be criminal at any level. That’s identity theft.
It’s one thing to fake a profile. It’s another to act as an existing person.
My guess is if the two companies filed against each other the judge would find equal fault.
It's again worth noting that from what I understand the car wasn't bricked,
It’s ultimately how the system is designed. Most companies use third party radios that are secondary systems.
Howeve if the radio is directly built into the primary control computer (modern Vehicles have multiple “computers”) we have a major safety issue. As that’s also the telematics system. Air bags, ABS… it depends on how much is part of that specific system.
but there's a lot of things going on in all sorts of devices that make you wonder how anything actually works long term
Bingo.
What surprises me is this requires parts replacement. And not an OTA update to the OS.
For a modern car you should at the very worst be able to download a USB or SD update.
We appear to have left the original track and gone the other direction.
My factual observation was it was Hollywood that created the digital format. And that going digital on their own is what made streaming today’s choice.
Now we can argue that it was Toho, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Harvest; Asian cinema, that went digital. We could also look at partial digital with LD. But the movie companies themselves in any regard.

The other aspect I was hitting on is VHS isn’t a gimmick to those that buy them today any more than hard cover books are a gimmick.
It’s a poor choice of wording.
Those that choose these formats do so for some specific reason that the other formats don’t offer.
Whatever it is that’s being consumed.

Philosophical question
What happens when “AI” becomes actual artificial intelligence? As in thinking and self aware.
Do they not then, deserve rights?

Though I differ than most on what constitutes censorship (the who aspect) we almost all agree that it involves blocking or removing something.
Community flagging simply collapses the comment. Requiring an extra click or tap to view it. Your post wasn’t removed or blocked.
