I don’t have problems with blind spots, so I don’t have much incentive to change anything.
But I need to be able to see my own car (or at least very close to it) while reversing, and my car doesn’t adjust the mirrors when going into reverse. Which means I have a big incentive to not use their idea.
So no, I am not planning on trying it.
I believe it does.
Here in Denmark, it’s legal to circumvent piracy protection, if the purpose is to legally use the product.
The example that was used in the media when this was new, is when you buy a DVD and want to play it on a PC instead of a DVD player. Usually piracy protection would stop it from working on a PC. Of course the circumvention also makes it easy to make and distribute a pirate copy.
So the ability to use the product in the way the customer choose (within reason), is weighted higher than stopping piracy a little.
The manual:
Start
Press start to start.
Stop
Press stop to stop.
The price wasn’t too bad for me. I didn’t have a very high income, but I paid for my ISDN myself.
But I do remember the improvement after switching to DSL, even if this was the early days of DSL that didn’t work thaaat great, it was still way better than analog modem or ISDN.
Oooh yeah, ISDN. My cable solution that I got in year 2000 (to answer OP’s question) didn’t work very well, and DSL wasn’t an option yet I think.
For those ready to listen to my nostalgia:
ISDN was awesome because even the smallest solution had two channels. So two phonecalls on one line. Great for businesses. Also, a channel had 64 kbit, slightly faster than the analog modems which I think maxed out at 54 kbit, which was often unlikely to be reached.
But the trick is, the two channels could be combined to 128 kbit. An incoming or outgoing phonecall would simply reduce the speed back to 64, instead of interrupting the connection.
Although I paid by the minute, and using two channels doubled the cost, so I usually only used it when I was literally waiting for a data transfer and would be paying the same price anyway.
Actually, I think my ISDN would count as dial-up, as I paid by the minute.
If he’s anything like me, that time would be spent on ranting about microwave ovens.
That is how the first ones (that I saw) worked. I was so happy when I saw that not only do they still exist, my local grocery store started selling them. I bought my second one a few days ago.
Here in Denmark it’s normal to pay 6 months rent before getting the key. (3 months rent plus deposit equivalent to another 3 months.)
However, the market here is very different.
1: I believe it’s very easy to get a bank loan for this. If they say no, it’s because you can’t afford the rent. (I could be wrong here.)
2: The contract isn’t locked for 12 months or so at a time. You can cancel the contract at any time, effective from the last day of next month. Also the contract doesn’t expire after 12 months, generally you live there as long as you pay for it.
3: Many other details that means that landlords aren’t the enemy, they provide a service for people who can’t or doesn’t want to own and maintain their own property.
Most companies don’t listen, these guys did. Many times when people did the right thing, they had to go through a process first.
It would have been if they did it completely on their own, maybe even designed the system for this possible outcome from the beginning.
But it’s the end result that matters. They can release the source or they can not. They chose to release it, and that’s great!
Number of features that is has? Sure.
Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.
As I use Excel at work, I’d be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.
I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What’s your favorite library that actually works for you?
I don’t use a sound bar because it’s cheap, I can get surround sound for half the price.
I use a sound bar because I don’t want speakers anywhere but on the TV, plus a subwoofer hidden away.
And it sounds waaay better than just the TV.
(Although the box said that it delivers surround sound, but in that respect it’s no better than the built in speakers, as expected.)
The point is they don’t have to proof if a piece of random data is indeed an encrypted blob.
But they do need to suspect it.
If they find an encrypted blob, ask for the decryption key, they decrypt the data and analyse the decrypted data, then they may not suspect that a different decryption key will reveal a different set of data.
TeamViewer blocked me for using it commercially. I have no idea why, I’m only using it to support 3 family members.
Are you talking specifically about Canadian police? Because here in Denmark, the police make a big effort to prevent crime. As far as I know, it works pretty well.
Of course not all possible efforts to prevent crime can be done by the police, a lot of it is up to the government.
My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.
My first computer wasn’t a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.
When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.
I’ve lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.
We have nothing compared to fx. London.
Where did you see cameras?
Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.
That’s not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.
Security is a spectrum. Telegram has never been the most secure alternative, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any security.
😆
Okay, I think I’ll try it.
