I wonder if the spike is radio, then the dip is landline telephones followed by a spike of mobile phones?

It can keep you in the lane and at the right speed. He said it’s perfect for school zones because he knows he doesn’t have to watch the Speedo and give that extra attention to watching for kids walking out. I have to agree with him, there is a school on my commute and the speed drops to 20mph. I let the car do that bit while I worry about little (or sometimes big) feet.
Would I trust that system to spot a child before I do? Not a chance.
Worked with a guy once who instead of uploading his doctors note to the HR website, uploaded a recipe for chicken soup

valkyre09@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish19·29 天前I once got locked out of an HP printer because it chopped off the last few characters of a password. Only figured it out because somebody had made a comment online about password length
valkyre09@lemmy.worldto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•No More IDs, VW’s EVs Will Get Real Names2·29 天前I think all the IDs are bigger than their ICE equivalents, A quick check shows https://www.automobiledimension.com/model/volkswagen/id-3 https://www.automobiledimension.com/model/volkswagen/golf
The golf is longer but the ID. 3 is wider and taller (not by much)
Honestly the fact that I’m having to google this proves your point that the numbers are easier for non experts to understand.
Maybe there’s a compromise where they can call it “ID.3 Golf” lets the golf users know what they need to look at and if they want to go up or down in relative size they can easily do so
valkyre09@lemmy.worldto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•No More IDs, VW’s EVs Will Get Real Names2·29 天前Something didn’t feel right about the polo being compared to the ID.1
Checking the dimensions on google, a closer comparison would be:
VW Up! - ID.1 VW Polo - ID.2 VW Golf - ID.3
I too am a fan of the numbering. I drive an ID.4 and when I was purchasing, I understood where the size slotted in.
Although, the ID.5 being almost the same size definitely confused things a little

Then you can sell a monthly VPN+ subscription and offer revisiting lifetime users 2 years free if they move to the new “better” service.
I’m not saying I agree with any of this, but it’s certainly not a new strategy. They’ve nothing to lose. Those who are pissed off will leave, you already have their money and those who want to stay will pay up.
The VPN company can have their cake and eat it

valkyre09@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish10·1 个月前There are two types connection in this scenario
- Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
- Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).
I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.
valkyre09@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Love your fellow humans that just want a working computer.7·2 个月前I had a thinkpad for YEARS running various flavours of Debian / Ubuntu. It never had an issue with drivers and even the fingerprint sensor worked out of the box.
The battery was shot to hell, the hinge was gone, it was time to upgrade. So I bought an ideapad. There’s something funky with the audio quality on Linux and the fingerprint scanner is now a face scanner camera. Howdy is not easy to configure and I’m pretty sure I can trick it with a photo.
That’s a long way of me saying I have buyers remorse and not all Lenovos are made equal :(
