Unless you’re a baker, you should watch it one more time.

TBH it’s well worth the 30mins… or 15mins at 2x… or if your Chrome console-fu and listening skills are high enough just 10mins with “$('video').playbackRate=3.0”

The preferential treatment was that the body cams were just muted during the cover up and not all accidentally turned off for the entire encounter, not getting beaten up, tased or shot.

I mean as far as preferential treatment goes I’d take that deal, but the fact remains he was pulled out of his car, roughed up, taken to the floor and handcuffed for 18minutes for no reason when the cop should have been writing him a (dubious) ticket.

There are at least 2 cops here who should not be cops and the rest need to be retrained to ensure they step in if they see mistreatment like this again, for face being fired.

She appears to be deep in the rabbit hole of far right, anti-lockdown, anti-immigrant echo chambers.

She says she copied the tweet from elsewhere, but she better remember exactly where, because if she made it up she incited several riots and thousands of crimes based on her idiocy.

Lies that have consequences like this, need to carry a punishment that suits those consequences.

This is just a rant… maybe a discussion starter

Margins on 2nd hand and new electric cars are thin, gone are the days where you could get 25% off a new car, and thin margins mean lower commission.

Servicing costs are minimal so no kickbacks for selling the servicing plans.

People are wise to paint protection and alloy wheel cover that cost more than a refurb.

EV buyers tend to make better decisions and are more likely to be cash buyers or finance elsewhere, so no kickback for selling a finance plan.

Manufacturers still selling higher margin hybrid and ICE vehicles mean they are the real target for salespeople.

Manufacturers also want to shift their ICE inventories and new products so they are still pushing the FUD on electric, and myths like “EVs will be obsolete once Hydrogen cars come out, you may as well get an ICE car in the meantime.”

I’ve had a really bad customer experiences at Toyota, Honda and now Kia dealerships.

I know people will suggest the Tesla online sales model, but Musk is just ruining the brand to the point where I can’t buy or recommend one.

So now I’m going to do all my own research, find the exact car I want, and contact the dealer/seller directly while avoiding as much interaction as possible.

25 years ago I was writing a paper on AI ethics and part of it was creating a mushroom identification program using a neural Network backed, image processing and language model. The conclusion of my paper was that it was wholly unethical to suggest that AI could correctly identify mushrooms based on descriptions and pictures alone, when the price for failure is death.

Windows defender?

Seriously you don’t need anything else, it’s really lightweight and Microsoft uses it to enhance their paid for corporate offerings. Anything more is just expensive bloatware for 99.9% of users.

Edit: Kaspersky has been banned in several countries because it may be a Russian Trojan program.

Is YouTube actively trying to make their platform as unusable as possible?

In case you can’t zoom the YouTube definition of ‘latest’, is any time in the last few years.

My video suggestions are also 50% text posts now for some reason.

What kind of backhanded EV misinformation bullshit is this?

Electric, gas, petrol, hydrogen, diesel, cooking oil or vodka; what you put in your car to make it go makes no difference to the tires or the wear.

The company that provides your banks phone system has full access to pretty much every piece of information your bank holds on you, including call recordings, phone numbers, addresses, debts, credits, and your phone password. We can trick our own systems into thinking it’s you on the phone.

Avoid calling your bank at all costs, and if they call you say “no thank you I’ll do that online or in branch”, as soon as you pass security the phone system is accessing all your data. If possible go into branch or do everything on a banking app which has far better security.

I may be completely wrong but don’t Samsung, Google etc. stop supporting OS updates on Android phones after 5-6 years? Apple have supported devices for 6-8 years AFAIK.

On some things the UK is progressive, on other issues, like sustainable transport, they see it as antisocial behaviour.

Just thinking back to the iPhone 6 which is 10 years old this year. I’m trying to work out if there are any features people use that weren’t available 10 years ago?

My dad still uses my old iPhone 6, and it really highlighted for me that innovation has stagnated in the last 10 years, unless I’m missing something.

I’m still on the iPhone X, and the latest models just don’t have any features I’m excited about. I was thinking about what would make a difference to me and I think a really cool feature that would make me upgrade is thermal imaging.

Thermal cameras are expensive and the resolution and frame rate is generally rubbish because they are a niche item, but they are so useful. I’ve used them for everything from fixing heating systems, cars, and electronics to simply checking if my dog is still in the garden in the dark, or working out where ‘that draft’ is coming from.

Thermal imaging needs to be brought into the mainstream for price reduction and development, that integration to the next generation iPhone can deliver.

Am I just a weirdo, or would you like a thermal camera on the iPhone?

Just in case you don’t want to go to the tabloid hell that is the Express Petition Link pirg.org

I’m typing this on an iPhoneX I got on day of release. I’ve had a new battery and it’s still perfect. I kept telling myself I’d wait for USB-C, but now it’s here I’m just not bothered. I think the only reason I would have to upgrade is when mobile apps drop support for iOS 16. What “must have” feature are you using to justify an upgrade?

Which is fine… until YouTube premium gets a massive price increase to try and capitalise on subscription apathy.
