  • In the US I can comfirm both GE (freight and passenger) and siemens passenger locomotives run Linux. Some passenger trainsets/cars still run embedded XP.

    Pretty much all locomotives running out there today have a plethora of computers for managing fuel economy, brakes, and positive train control (rules compliance). Fun fact: the union pacific's 4104 'big boy' steam engine was fitted with wabtec's I-ETMS PTC which is powered by Linux so there's literally a steam powered locomotive running Linux.

  • We have been here before. I don't remember who made it but there's a really good video on YouTube explaining why better help started another massive ad campaign on YouTube. Better help was involved with a fraudulent doctor finder website that was directing people to better help. That website got shutdown by the FTC just before better help increased YouTube funding so the hypothesis is they are trying to recoup that lost income because it was a significant revenue source.

  • I love mikrotik especially their switches as they are the only vendor making relatively affordable 100 gigabit gear. I completely agree their software isn't user friendly which I why I didn't endorse them. Plus I don't really have experience with their wireless access points nor have I seen any in the wild.

  • I've actually never had any problems with their support the two times I had to RMA some dead products but maybe I've been lucky.

  • There's a few routes (pun intended) you could go.

    DIY with opnsense on an old PC will give you the most flexibility and will allow you to build your router to your exact needs.

    Ubiquiti is also another choice albeit a contentious one. Their hardware is pretty good which also doesn't require a recurring charge to use (unfortunately rare when you get into the enterprise grade gear). The software side is where people have such mixed feelings as for consumers and prosumers it's pretty good but when you start getting into enterprise level configurations you'll find their software pretty lacking. For example if you need a L3 switch for inter VLAN routing you'll want to go with a different vendor as ubiquiti's L3 is practically broken.

  • This is incorrect in most states.

    Employers can require an employee to be “on-call” and available to work on an emergency or as-needed basis. Employers are generally not required to pay employees who are “on-call,” unless the employee is actually called to duty. However, if an employer places significant restrictions on how an employee spends their time while on-call, this time may need to be compensated as hours worked.

    The tenth circuit of appeals came up with this test to determine if the employers restriction constitutes on call hours as hours worked.

    Where the employee is not required to remain on the employer's premises, the critical inquiry is whether the employee is able to use the time effectively for his or her own purposes. Here, the report requirement necessarily entailed that the employee could not drink alcohol, must be able to dress in uniform, and must be able to travel to the airport, park, and pass through security within one hour of a call. She was not able to make or attend doctors' appointments for herself or her children, do her weekly shopping, nor go on field trips with her children. The court compared these circumstances with many FLSA cases presenting similar, or even more restrictive, circumstances involving availability by pager, inability to drink alcohol, and ability to report within 30 minutes or one hour. In the FLSA cases, it was determined that the employees' activities were not so curtailed as to require the on-call time to be considered compensable working time. The court followed this precedent.

  • Ultraviolet would be a terrible idea as UV-A and UV-B can cause skin cancer over prolonged exposure and UV-C will straight up burn your eyes and skin.

  • No, vehicles have gotten larger because of the same problem as most of the issues in the United States: politics!

    You see automobile manufacturers have to meet an average fuel economy across their entire fleet under the CAFE (Corporate average fuel economy) act of 1975. CAFE was a good idea as it forced the auto industry into actually improving on fuel economy year after year throughout their entire fleet or be met with steep fines for ever 0.1mpg off the target.

    In 2011 CAFE was changed which directly caused the auto market we have today. See in 2011 the formula on how you'd calculate your fleet's avarage MPG got changed to now factor in vehicle footprint as a variable which auto manufactures quickly caught on to mean the larger a vehicle is the smaller their entire fleet's MPG has to be.

    On top of that in 2012 "medium-duty trucks" was added as their own category with a lower MPG requirement meaning if your truck or SUV fell into that category then you would have a smaller MPG target for your entire fleet.

    Now put yourself into the shoes of an early 2010s auto manufacture, would you rather design small and light vehicles that require you to meet a pretty high fuel economy level across your entire product range or would you inflate the size of your vehicles and move all R&D into finding ways to get your entire fleet classified as a medium-duty truck/SUV with a smaller MPG requirement? Of course you are going to take the latter.

    The changes to CAFE in the 2010s killed small vehicles as we knew it. Ensured light duty trucks stayed dead domestically built or chicken tax be dammed. Caused the explosion of crossover SUVs to flood the market. All while making vehicles more dangerous and worse for the environment.

  • For 12k a month just the DDoS protection would be worth it for a site of that nature and size but they also get CDN access with full control over the caching, and a web application firewall.

    The way I see it the casino was trying to plate share at a buffet and got caught so now they are complaining about having to pay the correct amount.

  • Both. Live nation either owns the venue or has an exclusive contract with the venue. If you run a venue and you do not parter with live nation they will run you out of business.

  • One of my hobbies is hosting raves and I've heard a lot of stories from venue owners about live nation/ticket master. They work a lot like the mafia where if you don't accept their terms they will do everything in their power to shut you down. They will do stuff like scheduling large names shows to conflict with your key events while also 'influencing' the local officials to pull your liquid license. I 100% agree that they should be broken up but I would go a step further and also split off their promoter sector that way ticketing, venues, and events are all separate entities that cannot completely control the market.

  • So many long distance delivery trucks take the same route across the country. Why don't we just string them all together, then have one big-ass truck engine in the front pulling it all? And to save on how big the motor needs to be, we'll have steel on steel contact to reduce friction. Whoops, you've got a train all of a sudden. 😅

    Get out of here with your crazy ideas...

  • I work for a railroad and also own a Tesla. FSD doesn't actually know what a train is at all. If you watch the visualization while in FSD you'll see trains as a long string of semi trucks and it sees the crossing arms as flashing red stop lights (ie treat like stop sign).

  • And the FBI confiscated their cellphones and other methods of communication?

    The FBI did seize their phones but the crew has received new phones from aid groups along with a Hotspot that was provided awhile ago.

    Why the fuck are poor foreign workers being treated like that when we're letting the company almost completely off the hook?

    The crew has been stuck on the ship because they are essential to the recovery process. The crew knows how to operate the ship and all of it's machinery. They've been responsible for keeping pumps on board the ship running and ensuring there's no flooding as the clean up goes on.

    The real question is now that the ship is back at a berth and in a position where only a skeleton crew is needed why hasn't the US granted any emergency visas to the crew so they can start rotating shore leave?

  • It really bugs me there's a sideways full water bottle leaning on the mixer. That's a Yamaha CL5 which MSRPs at 30k not mention the cost of having the show ruined...

  • I'm pretty sure that spare tire is only there for the joke. With off roading tires that large they are almost definitely bead lock tires which can be ran at very low PSI without risk of the tire departing the rim. On top of that the tread is much thicker meaning punctures have to go deeper before they cause problems and most of the time came be fixed by simple plugs.

    Not to mention the logistics of changing a spare on a tire of that size. A bottle jack is completely out of the question and you wouldn't be able to use a farm jack safety with the body that high. Even if you could how are you going to get that wheel onto the studs when it weighs over 300Lb?

  • FYI there's a stand alone version of milkdrop but on crack called nest drop
