  • Baby Monitor vs Security Camera

    Jump

  • If the security camera has alerts like a decent baby monitor, then I see no need to change.

    If you already intend to have security cameras, being able to have one that works as a baby monitor but is completely integrated into a real security system just seems like the best of both worlds.

    If you currently use the camera to spot check your baby, with no real alert system for issues, then I'd jump straight to a security system that's capable of that to reduce price over time.

    I had a security camera with a built in mic, a cheaper one, and besides getting some false positives, it worked perfectly until my kid didn't need one anymore. I got an alert on their app when it detected sound and I opened the camera, it wasn't straight audio, but all I needed was a notification to check it myself.

  • Teen pizza delivery driver shot at multiple times after parking in the wrong driveway

    Jump

  • Pulling into someone's driveway isn't trespassing as a general rule, unless you know they don't want you there.

    Trespass at its heart is legally something you need to have had intent to do. "No trespassing" signs or verbal warnings to leave inform someone that this is land they aren't wanted on, so are pretty important in proving trespassing.

    This is also why door-to-door salesman and missionaries aren't sued out of existence. Both use the land in an attempt to offer something to the owner, its a legitimate use, as long as they leave when told.

    But since the delivery man believed he had explicit permission, since he thought this was the house that ordered a pizza, it's perfectly legal. He just would've had to leave when he was told to go.

    But the pizza man did nothing to provoke shooting, so I expect the owner gets no self-defense argument here. Just the pizza guy.

  • MTG Cites Antisemitic Fable Jews ‘Handed Over’ Jesus To Be Killed

  • While atheist myself, there's a fairly obvious reply.

    God had a plan, and look where the religion is now, so that plan obviously worked.

  • Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining

    Jump

  • You forgot Vista between XP and 7, and it wasn't great, so the pattern holds up remarkably well.

    8 felt like a mobile OS, because it was.

    10 is OK. Not as good as 7, broke support for a bunch of things, really amped up the spyware feeling, but it works OK.

    Then 11.

    Probably still can have a computer though, it's just not fully yours on 11.

  • Yeah I'm kinda surprised they made it open, to be honest. But they did, and its in a way that can't be retracted, so nothing depends on their continuing good behavior.

  • There are already 2 of them.

    NACS, which is essentially the Tesla charger, was made available to other car manufacturers at no cost already, in 2022. Due to a few reasons, among them the existence of Tesla superchargers already deployed, a lot of companies have adopted this as their charger for newer cars.

    Even if Tesla went down completely, their charger is already open, so nah I don't expect any changes based on this.

  • The AI grift that can literally poison you

    Jump

  • Which is why they suggested finding an organization/association, not an arbitrary website.

    Funnily enough, chatgpt should be able to recommend some great associations. GPT-3 doesn't even have up-to-date databases so it doesn't even know about any new AI things that have popped up.

    So find a real group of people, ask them things.

  • Bodycam video shows handcuffed man telling Ohio officers 'I can't breathe' before his death

    Jump

  • It's because they don't see them as people, they see them as violent criminals that the world would be better off without.

    If you step into their shoes for a minute, and one of the criminals you just successfully took off of the streets said they can't breathe, your first thought might be "good. Maybe that'll teach you a lesson about doing crimes in my neighborhood." Your second might be "I wish I could shoot you right now and get this over with, but maybe I'll get lucky and I can say I didn't hear you."

    Note that the second one is inherently a stupid thought, there's body cams. That kind of logic didn't stop my 5-year-old from telling me she cleaned her room when I could easily check and find out she didn't, and it won't stop cops from fantasizing about everything working out here.

    That's exactly why they do things that way. They're living out a fantasy world where there are no real rules and there are no consequences, and they have to live a balancing act between indulging in that and dealing with reality. Sometimes cops fail to balance that, and that's what we see here.

    As for who trains them, it's their fellow cops. This isn't a bunch of individual fantasies, these men work and train and talk together about how it'd be so much better if they had less restrictions and just talk about that hypothetical world. New cops who have any kind of racism or similar "My group is best" can join the conversation and add in their own unique version to the group fantasy. New cops who aren't already racist, though, won't hear blatant racism. No, they will just hear about crime stats and reoffending rates, about cops that died trying to deal with all the supposed crime, and about how stopping them is justice and will help everyone, not just cops. In time they'll share the group fantasy, too, and stop seeing their victims as people. Occasionally someone just doesn't join in the fantasy and they get bullied until they quit.

    This is why the easiest way to move forward from this kind of thing is to gut the police departments and start over, or we at least need bodycams that can't be turned off so easily.

  • North Texas man sues Cinemark claiming 24-ounce beer cups can't hold 24 ounces

  • There's a separate weights and measures office here https://www.nist.gov/pml/owm

    I'm not sure exactly what that'd change about this situation, but they seem to publish standards based on industry majorities, so there's a proper baseline.

  • Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom

    Jump

  • If they accept the patient, and the patient needs an emergency abortion, then they could face legal consequences for providing one, or face losing their license for denying critical care.

    Either way, if such a circumstance happens, the doctor is completely fucked, and they'd rather keep their job, and help other people.

    There's confusion about what is and isn't allowed, which isn't helping. Doctors don't know what they could be sued for. Its in their best interest to not see patients like this. Doctors need protections at least, but governments have specifically taken steps to make them liable, and this confusion and refusal is part of the plan to make abortions this scary thing.

  • Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

    Jump

  • Some do. You can also just restart a phone real quick and it'll demand your passcode not biometrics.

    The passcode itself isn't circumvented by this, after all.

    But locking/resetting your phone should be an urgent thing, if you suspect the police will take it. Apple also does this if you hit the power button 5 times fast.

  • Are there any things in Linux that need to be started over from scratch?

    Jump

  • The more the code is used, the faster it ought to be. A function for an OS kernel shouldn't be written in Python, but a calculator doesn't need to be written in assembly, that kind of thing.

    I can't really speak for Rust myself but to explain the comment, the performance gains of a language closer to assembly can be worth the headache of dealing with unsafe and harder to debug languages.

    Linux, for instance, uses some assembly for the parts of it that need to be blazing fast. Confirming assembly code as bug-free, no leaks, all that, is just worth the performance sometimes.

    But yeah I dunno in what cases rust is faster than C/C++.

  • My opinion on Bone conduction earphones

    Jump

  • I got them so I could listen to audio books without actually ignoring my kid, who was 3 at the time. Couldn't not hear her world if she decided to get up to something. 10/10 for that.

    I also loved them being hidden under my hair. Its rude to have headphones in a conversation, but this isn't rude, with them silent I can hear as well as without headphones.

    Aa for dual-pairing, I had your same issue with shokz, but I found out it was Windows with the issue. Shokz switches based on who it hears playing audio and Windows likes to keep "playing" audio at 0 volume instead of properly not sending audio. It's an issue that's pretty irrelevant for most things, but it means Shokz never feels that there's only one audio source at a time, after its connected to a windows computer once. They worked fine when I paired them to my android phone and an iPad to test things.
