I don’t have to look at it but sometimes I had to take my laptop to Desktop support for example and they wouldn’t be able to do anything with different layout. I don’t have any company laptop anymore so no longer a problem. Was just wandering.

Not that it matters that much for touch typing but while I can’t switch around keys in my external keyboard I can’t change it in my laptop. Did you simply accept it that keys don’t match your layout and move on?

Shit, I’ve checked it and now I’m thinking about learning a new layout. Thanks. Like I didn’t have enough things to do…

- Comment on What is the hate against Pit Bulls? Everyone I've met are super friendly like my BC. Or are they the new Doberman for this cycle? 12 hours ago:
I never had any experience with Pit Bulls, they are not very common where I live. I definitely don’t hate them.
There are dogs that can kill people and are so strong the owners can’t stop them and there are dogs that are easy to defend against. It’s a simple fact, not based on feelings towards one bread or another. The first type has no place in society. People should not own dogs like that. It serves no purpose. It’s simply stupid.
- Comment on How come not all people are organ donors? It's not like they will need them where ever they go. 15 hours ago:
Conspiracy theories and actual corruption.
People are afraid doctors will kill them to get the organs. Doctors don’t want to deal with those accusations so will not take organs without clear consent from family. Some places are actually opt-out, doctors have enough legal protection and public trust is high enough that doctors will take organs without waiting for consent from family. In other places…
I remember some case from Poland where as a part of corruption case doctor was accused of killing a patient to harvest his organs. The patient was allegedly in a coma and the doctor disconnected him from life support to get the organs. This was clearly a witch hunt, all the other doctors got scared and transplantations in the entire country went down as a result.
So in many places people simply don’t trust the doctors and will not give consent. There’s also a lot of superstition and religious thinking involved.

I consider it a rather strong incentive to ride safely.
Vast majority of the motorcycle accidents I read about are self inflicted. Just bikers falling down on mountain roads. Yes, majority ride safely but the ones that get into accidents drive like idiots. As I said, most accidents happen on weekends during rides for fun.

That was very therapeutic. Thank you.

I don’t know if it rises to the level of needing to be regulated
It does. That’s the whole point. There’s nothing emotional about this opinion. You don’t have to be scared to think dogs that regularly kill people should be banned. It’s common sense.

Detecting phone use is just a tiny part of it. ADDW is about detecting distraction and drowsiness in general but they are also mandating speeding alerts. The car is supposed to monitor the speed limit and alert the driver when he’s driver above it. As you can imagine those systems work like shit and beep at you constantly, even when you drive below the speed limit. You also have mandatory lane assist and automated breaking. Nothing is required for bikes. So basically big chunk of fatal accidents are caused by people speeding for fun on country roads, lane splitting and doing other completely unnecessary things and EU is just accepting that.

So you will put in the modem before technical check and the take it out again? That’s a great idea. Let me know what car model you have and how do you remove the model. The more instructions like this we have the better.
- Comment on It's always for your safety 3 days ago:
Just change the entire computer while your at it because they may check for error codes. Make sure your custom computer will pass all security checks your car does though.
- Comment on It's always for your safety 3 days ago:
I didn’t say it’s useful or not. I said that cars have it. It’s mandatory in all new cars since 2018. If you disable it your car may not pass technical checks.
- Comment on It's always for your safety 3 days ago:
The camera processes everything internally. There some build in machine learning model. It should not communicate or send anything images outside.
Of course the problem is that it’s all closed source so you can’t verify that. Cars also call 112 now automatically in case of an accident so I suspect that ripping out your modem may cause some warning lights on your dashboard which can mean you will not pass your mandatory technical revision.
So if you rip out your modem the camera will still work but you may have other issues.

It’s even possible for the car to sound alarm constantly while ADDW camera is covered making driving unbearable but it’s still has nothing to do with stopping the car.
- Comment on It's always for your safety 4 days ago:
My favorite part of all this is that motorbikes are excluded. Car now have mandatory automated breaking and some other features like adaptive cruise control (not sure). Motorbikes have none. Why? Because bikers and bike manufacturers are pushing back saying that it will make bikes more expensive and (paraphrasing) it will ruin the fun. And so far EU is buying this. 25% of deadly accidents are bikers and most of those accidents happen during fun rides on the weekend but those accidents are fine apparently. Nothing they can do about it.
So easiest way to avoid it? Buy a motorbike. You will immediately gain protected status.

It does not stop the car, don’t be silly. It will be reported as a malfunction on the dashboard.
- Comment on Why is so difficult to organize a strike 5 days ago:
Strikes happen all the time but only in places that are already unionized. You don’t just stage a single day of strike. They are laws governing this like minimal level or services that needs to be maintained during strike. Many well organized groups present their demands and go on strike. I read about successful strikes all the time.
I don’t know why some industries are more unionized than others but probably looking into that may give you answers on how to organize people around you.

About 50% of Americans are circumcised. They would have to be incredibly stupid to believe it’s strictly a Jewish thing. So it tracks.

It’s all relative, right? What I meant is that most people that can afford solar panels don’t struggle with electricity bills. It’s a smart investment for them, not a life saving one. People that actually need it can’t afford it.
Ben Folds had a song about it. Something about getting free coffee once he was rich. No one gives poor people nice things. The richer you are the more things you get for free.
- Comment on I dropped it like it was hot. 1 week ago:
You don’t have to be very rich but you definitely need to have some personal savings to invest like that. 40% of Americans don’t have enough savings to pay for a $1000 emergency. 23% had to use savings to pay for holiday expanses.
- Comment on I dropped it like it was hot. 1 week ago:
Everything is cheaper when you’re rich.
- Comment on Entombed 1 week ago:
Crops started failing right before The Black Death because people still didn’t know about fertilizers and farming simply depleted the soil. If not for the plague Europe would see famine because its farming was… unsustainable.
The land use practiced by neolithic people is for example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehesa Those ecosystem exist since thousands of years because they are… sustainable.
