everything else reliant on it cruise control, lane assist,

That’s stuff’s on buttons in many, many cars.

back up cams are all either unnecessary

They really aren’t. With thicker pillars (for better safety, but also sometimes for design purposes) the more cameras you have - the better.

You can still buy incredibly simple cars, just look at PSA, Dacia/Renault basic models or Fiats that have been in production for years. Hell, Mitsubishi ASX turns 15 and all they did was stick a big screen for a radio. Suzuki S-cross imo is the sweet spot, a small screen for 2 functions (radio/phone audio, camera) and physical controls for the rest.

Or just don’t buy new cars. I think you’d like VW Up, big selling point of it was the lack of a navigation system because they get outdated so quickly, so instead there’s just a nav holder.

I think those old toyota and saab (orange or green is best) screens are nicer to look at than most new ones. Btw have any automakers even tried going above 60hz refresh rates? lol

Oh, there have been attempts. Joystick controls, for example, in Mercedes concepts (F 200, SL R129 Concept, Vario Research car), or in actual farming vehicles. Recently, several automakers tried yokes. For now wheel is the cheapest (and simplest) way to make a car steer, we’ll see some funky shapes probably.

edit: also if steer-by-wire takes off, I imagine physical steering linkage would still be required. In that case it wouldn’t save money.

What are they gonna do, send a strongly worded letter to their lemmy instance?

is dual booting not an option for you?

You could even squeeze a quadruple A game on there

From what I understand their minimum wages aren’t bad, it’s the enforcement that sucks. Everyone buys from them because labor laws are overlooked, but if they weren’t - there’s a risk manufacturing would move away and shrink. Bit of an ouroboros. I’d say both parties are to blame, but the paying one gets more of it.

Secret Service personnel on the ground moved quickly during the incident, with our counter sniper team neutralizing the shooter and our agents implementing protective measures to ensure the safety of former president Donald Trump.

The secret service didn’t know (or didn’t care) there was a shooter until after the guy clipped the ear. They failed at the prevention part of their job.

edit: all I’m saying is if they failed once, they could fail again. That’s it. I myself have no intentions of ever setting foot in the states.

probably a holdover from the sata days, or simply because it’s nice to show the number doubling into tens of thousands

why not? plenty of them run android, do they maintain a blacklist of sorts?

Nah, it’s chinese so ofc you can’t

Good to know, that’s what I use on my 10. Didn’t know if 11 has it since it never really appealed to me.

If you want to have a cool dream car (without the intention of owning one), look at HiPhi. They’ve done some crazy shit.

Do they still make enterprise/ltsc/iot versions for 11? Because those are usually the ones that don’t treat you like a child, and I expect them to retain that

Plenty of websites filter out dummy email generators, could do the same in addition to applications. Making a drawing of something specific, but random (think of a list of a dozen or two images gen-ai gets wrong) could be a captcha replacement.

Do you really need that much power for a local model? I haven’t had a team green card in years so idk

It’s worse than that

as part of a revised economic deal that offers Kyiv no security guarantees in return.

Also, wars are hella expensive. Taxes going up is inevitable, the cost of living will go up, it’s just a question of “when”, not “if”.

It’s not a war you see, it’s a special… military operation? Wait, I think that’s copyrighted, shit
