OK -- I don't know exactly what went wrong; but either way if it *was* a traditional manual ignition, the driver would have been able to turn the car off (they *were* getting instructions from the officer to stop the car, but it wasn't working).

"When you hit the neutral button, nothing happens [...] push-button start?"
This sort of problem is exactly why dangerous machinery like cars must NEVER rely solely on buttons that ask the onboard computer to cut power to the machine.
In an actually well-designed car, you could just turn the key to shut off the engine... done.
It was always wrong to switch away from a physical ignition switch like in the old cars.
There's a new "Year in Review" feature that's due out for Mastodon 4.4. I don't have any insider knowledge about when that release is going to drop. Some are excited for this feature and others are dreading it. Please, when we get this feature, if you're going to share your results, use the # Wrapstodon hashtag. This will make it easier for those interested to find your post, and easier for those not interested to filter it. Thanks!
FBI releases PSA warning about all the ways that cybercriminials are using AI to commit fraud on a larger scale and to increase the success of their scams. The advisory warns about deepfaked videos and voice calls, as well as AI generated profile images to impersonate people.
Among their recommendations:
-Create a secret word or phrase with your family to verify their identity.
-Look for subtle imperfections in images and videos, such as distorted hands or feet, unrealistic teeth or eyes, indistinct or irregular faces, unrealistic accessories such as glasses or jewelry, inaccurate shadows, watermarks, lag time, voice matching, and unrealistic movements.
Listen closely to the tone and word choice to distinguish between a legitimate phone call from a loved one and an AI-generated vocal cloning.
-If possible, limit online content of your image or voice, make social media accounts private, and limit followers to people you know to minimize fraudsters' capabilities to use generative AI software to create fraudulent identities for social engineering.
-Verify the identity of the person calling you by hanging up the phone, researching the contact of the bank or organization purporting to call you, and call the phone number directly.
-Never share sensitive information with people you have met only online or over the phone.
-Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other assets to people you do not know or have met only online or over the phone.
I'm looking for an old computer to play with, from the 80s or 90s. What kind of computer do you think I could possibly find on EBay etc. with about $75? (Sorry if that's a ludicrously low price. I'm not including a monitor and keyboard in that price, though.)
Some old computer categories that I've thought of are Commodore, IBM ThinkPad, and IBM PC.
The largest phone service provider in Denmark TDC is down, meaning half the Danish population cannot use their phones, including calling 1-1-2 (The EU equivalent of 9-1-1).
Emergency vehicles have been placed in Copenhagen to allow citizens to ask for help directly in case of an emergency.
If you are in Denmark and need assistance, please note that anyone with a different mobile service can help you call 1-1-2. Alternatively, by removing your SIM-card, you can call 1-1-2 circumventing TDC.
Difficult conversations.

When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.
At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.
The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.
This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.
Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.
We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.
Getting into digital logic design a bit as a hobby (for a big personal project). I read an awesome book a while ago called "But How Do It Know?".
Still learning, but is it just me or are multiplexers the answer to all my problems?

I made a simple tool to automate this ;)
I feel like every time I get this suddenly upset at a good or service, it ends up being an overreaction
Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/
