  • Something about work / life balance

  • It's been ages but if my memory isn't lying to me...

    you're right about the bad guy end up being a VP, the whole story unravels in front of Robocop and the company's board, and the dude is standing there smugly because one of Robocop's core directives is he can't kill an executive of the company. The CEO in standard 80s action movie style says "hey

    <name>

    ... you're fired", Robocop pauses long enough for the bad guy to realise what just happened, then shoots the guy

    Also the above is for the first movie, I think the second movie is where the sentry thing does the deed.

    I should dust these off and watch them again lol

  • Sorta been answered but worth noting there's more than one definition, and if the person you're speaking to/arguing with aren't using the same one then you'll never agree because you're debating different points.

    One is the "socially aware" definition, and seems to be the one claimed by most on here. It means your eyes/mind are open etc.

    Another refers to performative virtue signalling, where someone is desperately looking for something to make themselves appear socially aware / "awake", regardless of their actual position on the matter, if they even have one. That is where the pejorative usage comes from.

    If someone uses "woke" as an insult is likely they're placing the target in the latter category.

  • Sadly many won't care, but for those that do it removes one of the key differentiators. Plus it's kind of hard to trust a company that has had such a wild change in values - Apple have at least been consistent.

    Edit: I didn't think it needed to be spelled out, but no I'm not suggesting Apple are trustworthy.

  • Whats a good way to help my mother be profitble at craftfairs?

    Jump

  • Is her goal to make money? Or is it just an outing and a chance to socialise with people who share an interest? If the latter, then she may be getting everything she wants out of the experience so doesn't see the need to change anything, in fact being more popular might be bad in that context. (Edit: just realised this is pretty much what one of the other replies asked, apologies.)

    Otherwise, and I'm no expert at this stuff by any stretch, but purely from a casual attendee's perspective, location is really important. Don't be in a corner where there's hardly any foot traffic, and if you can, try to set up next to whatever booths are busiest at your events - for the ones near me that'd be things like coffee, ice cream, bakery etc depending on time of year. They are always packed, and food/drink booths usually have people with a few minutes to kill while they're waiting for their order.

    If you have dozens of people milling about in front of your stall waiting for a coffee, the odds of someone spotting one of your products increases massively, and some of those may turn into sales.

  • How to move from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap

    Jump

  • I moved to OSMand a while ago, but have a couple of things that stop me switching over completely. Like others, traffic would be the main one.

    On a few occasions been caught in unusual traffic, eg when there's a crash, or when there's an event on. So when I need a more accurate ETA I still need to fire up Waze or Google Maps.

    I do also miss the near-realtime reports in Waze - object on road, mobile speed camera etc, as well as the constantly-updating traffic of course.

    Oh another thing that would be good, is accounting for rules that vary by time of day, day of week, number of passengers, or type of vehicle. Eg school zones, or transit lanes, bus lanes that allow motorcycles at certain times, etc. It might already do this and I've just missed it.

    There are some UI annoyances in OSMand too, but those are mostly subjective, and will hopefully improve in time.

  • Gotcha, and apologies for missing your point.

    I agree 100%, the privacy and security tradeoffs are enormous and concerning.

  • Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and Tracking

    Jump

  • By all means call out if I've misunderstood, but the tracking vulnerability isn't that BLE (by design) makes devices visible to everyone within range, it's that by binding an unclaimed device to an account you gain the ability to look up that device via Google's service, rather than needing to be nearby - you can simply ask Google to call on its global network to find "your" device. In other words, there's nothing stopping me from setting an alert when a given BT device is nearby, that's spot on, but I can't fire up Google to look up that device when I'm not nearby, or look up its location history.

    And yes needing to have never been connected to an Android device definitely reduces the victim pool, but (and to address the other reply) I'm guessing it'd mean devices that have only ever been connected to iOS, Linux, Windows etc aren't "claimed" and can still be enrolled by the attacker. It's not about default creds, only having used devices that don't enrol with Google is enough, as it leaves the device available to claim.

    3.5mm ftw and all that, but I doubt all the parents of teenagers with potentially vulnerable devices will have much luck convincing their kids to switch!

  • If you want to listen to their mic via bluetooth or whatever, yes. But there's also this:

    Some devices also support Google's Find Hub network. This enables users to find their lost accessories using crowdsourced location reports from other Android devices. However, if an accessory has never been paired with an Android device, an attacker can add the accessory using their own Google account. This allows the attacker to track the user via the compromised accessory.

  • My dad was the opposite thankfully! He taught me to drive in the bush, on the beach etc, well before legal driving age, as soon as I could reach the pedals, and taught me to ride a dirt bike when he scored one small enough for me for cheap. He also taught basic repairs, we were not wealthy so everything we had needed fixing pretty regularly lol.

    For him it was a father/son bonding thing, and we both loved it. I still have a love of cars and bikes which I suspect stems from those early experiences.

    I have to assume too that learning the road rules and the like was a lot easier without needing to learn driving basics at the same time. Why most places seem to teach "car control" and "road rules and traffic" together is beyond me.

  • English is my native language. I have on more than one occasion gone blank trying to think of a word, only to remember it in Japanese. Which is particularly amusing when it's the kana-ised version of the English word I had forgotten.
