Synapse

As an insider of the automotive industry I can say:

• these devices are added due to regulations
• Yes. It is creepy
• functionality is computed and performed onboard the car, it doesn’t rely on any connection to the outside to function
• however, it could very well be sending data back to the mothership. They are legally obligated to get your explicit consent as per GDPR law
• the software is completely closed-source and there is no chance we get any information about it. It’s all private intellectual property. Actually, the Car manufacturers (in this case Renault) almost always requires all suppliers of such equipment to ensure there is ZERO Open-source code in the delivered product. Suppliers are audited to prove they have not reused any Open-source code, piece of code or libraries.

This telemarketing calls are hell. It gota stop. Working in a Callcenter, a deeper level of hell, badly paid, terrible work environment.

It isn’t going to be fun shitting out a dozen of fully grown watermelons. Don’t get me started on pomegranate.

OpenOffice has been dead for a decade. Please, forget it has ever existed and use LibreOffice instead. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kick is where you get to watch people die live on camera… Man who was “humiliated and mistreated for months” dies during livestream in France, officials say

In BW I’ve heard servus but not the others, are these Bavarian dialect? I am not a native speaker.

Things you should know how to say (not that it’s necessary, but because it’s nice to know):

• Hallo = Hello
• Tschüss = Bye
• Danke = Thanks
• Dankeschön = thank you very much
• Entschuldigung = excuse me

People commonly use “Ciao” for Bye, and “Sorry” for sorry.

Legal drinking age for beer and wine is 16yo.

I want to give some additional I formation:

• installation doesn’t work on Firefox, must use Chromium
• if on Linux, it may be needed to change permissions to the USB device before it works

This video from Louis Rossmann will get you caught up with the topic quickly: Bambu Lab: I’m reposting your code & I dare you to sue me. / Louis Rossmann / YouTube.com

Very cool that it’s completely Open-source, mechanical parts, electronic and software, all included in the repo ! It’s a project I would be interested in doing.

How would I know which bank to go too ? It’s comes down to the details of how they implement their phone app. I don’t think you would find this information anywhere.

Exactly, it’s not only about fighting Google, it’s also about setting a better, more open standard for the rest of the market.

Recently my bank has rolled out a new mobile app now relying on Google wallet for NFC payment. I was able to use NFC payment on GrapheneOS on the old app, I can’t on the new one. The online banking stuff still works (for now) but no more mobile payment for me. I didn’t sign a fucking contract with Google, why would I hand over my payment data to them !

I only go to itch.io for erotic games.

Razer Diamond back gaming mouse, shit at clicking, shit quality, over priced

Bohmann air-conditioner, broke after few hours of usage at most. Well within warranty, the reseller(Mediamarkt), and manufacturers took me for a long long ride until I eventually gave up on getting my money back…

They understand well at Valve they must foster a community around their devices in order to give them a long commercial life-time. They can’t afford/don’t want to design new controllers to release every 2~3 years. Also, many will be willing to pay more for a device that is part of an ecosystem, having a community and 3rd parties creating this ecosystem for no extra cost it a complete win for them, it’s also a win for consumers twho get to do what they want with their purchase.

I did a maintenance dashboard for my batteries status just last week ! Well, the official one looks better.

How to call this style ? NES-punk, or maybe Nintendocore ?
