They wanted a subway gun crime deterrent, they just found it was much easier to build a subway deterrent.

Now they’ll be plugging thier second and third channels too 😅

Even products from reputable companies can malfunction

That’s true, and always best to look up reviews and analysis of the design, most wouldn’t fail in such a catastrophic way if one of the sensors were to malfunction. But yeah, scooping it manually is definitely the safest option.

There are much safer designed ones from reputable companies, these ones are drop shipped ones where they’ll put anyone’s logo on them, and have a very poorly thought out design.

Gotta force people to use the existing ones first, otherwise when planning more people will complain that no one will use it.

They should install automated blinds like some high end luxury cars have except make them out of that silvery windscreen sunshade stuff.

Reminds me of screenshots of internet explorer with 20 search bar addons from the 2000s 🤣

At the moment AI is less creative and more derivative, but it could be in par or better in the future.

The bigger issue is that we’re living in a world that has a lot of artificial scarcity and people still have to work to survive, and AI is taking away many of the only jobs that make life worth living while doing it worse but also a lot cheaper.

At first glance it may look like they have the same flag, but NZ and Australia are actually separate countries.

Also useful for devices where you want more storage but the device only has an SD card slot, or other slots are already occupied or sd card is just easier such as phones, Nintendo switch, steam deck, ultra light laptops, raspberry pi…

Also could be handy for smuggling banned movies/tv shows into authoritarian countries that block or outlaw unauthorised VPNs?

Filming 8K in a raw format maybe? (a lot of cameras only have an SD card slot, or only the sd card slot is fast enough to record raw at higher resolutions)

You probably wouldn’t need to take it out of the camera either? so the form factor wouldn’t be major concern.

There’s a couple of non-waymo cars in the lot so they’re probably only renting some of the spaces in the lot.

Discontinuing products seems more like it would be to justify laying them off?

Why does Google do any of the dumb shit they do?

Not really surprising given auto makers importance in Germany. Would it be more feasible to introduce more/increase tolls to reduce the amount of traffic on the autobahn and fund more high speed rail links?

IANAL: It sounds like the EFF recommendation probably wouldn’t help prevent it from being used to investigate ad blocking and piracy:

Recommendation: Restrict the definition to “core cybercrimes” like technical attacks on computers, devices, data, and communications systems. Exclude human rights-protected activities from the scope of the treaty to prevent misuse and ensure these rights are not unjustly targeted due to equating cybercrime with any crime using ICT.

Since blocking ads and piracy aren’t likely to be directly related to human rights protected activities, and they’ll probably stretch the definition of “core cybercrimes” to include those…

google cache version

That feature was hard to find though, had to search cache:https://www.eff.org/files/2024/07/29/eff-treaty-un-pagers.pdf and apparently access to google cache is going away entirely soon, so I saved the google cache to the way back machine too
