So everything inside the perimeter of a city/town/village is urban and therefor under the urban law traffic code, even if the village is in the middle of nowhere.
We are discussing traffic laws. I doubt that where you live the traffic laws that are valid inside the biggest city are different from the ones valid in a small village in the middle of nowhere (with the due exceptions)
No, no updates needed unless I encounter a bug or they add a new feature I really want.
Fine, but maybe the update fix a bug that hit other users and that still not have hit you, be it for sheer luck or any other reason.
Making not that convenient to buy from them, for example. Temu & Co only sell so much only because they have lower price.
The right solution would be to force them to not sell toxic and dangerous products, but since that it is almost impossible the next best option is making them not convenient (or less convenient).
That’s exactly what I wanted to say: 30 is one of the most common speeds in the EU. They are not new and have been around since the 70s/80s.
As far as I know, the city speed limit is 50 km/h for a very long time. In the 199x, when I got my driver license it was it, the push for the 30 km/h limit is a relatively new thing, maybe last 5 years. Not to say that before there where not some 30 km/h zones in cities, but the default in every urban center (small or big) is/was 50.
Cities are pushing for 30 as a default speed.
Now yes, but is a relatively recent thing, and only for big cities.
You have thousands and thousands of kilometres of residential streets with T30. If you do not optimize for that as a manufacturer, you shouldn’t build cars.
Italy currently has an estimated total 2700 km of 30 km/h residential streets. My city alone (Milan) has about 58.0000 km of streets (only residential streets, the total is way higher).
Maybe manufacturer are not that dumb if they do not optimize the engine for the equivalent of the (less then) 5% of the streets of just one city in a state.
And I suppose that other states are in a somewhat similar situation.
Here urban is loosely defined as everything inside the city/town/village perimeter, with no reference to where the city/town/village is located.
If your car uses more fuel for slower speeds and for such a common speed as 30, the manufacturer is an idiot.
Or the manufacturer just optimized the engine and the gearbox to be more efficent at a certain speed.
In the end the consumption is tied to the rpm of the engine, if you need to stay on high rpm to go to 30 km/h on a lower gear because the gear ratios are optimized thinking to a certain set of speeds (50, 70, 90 and 130 km/h which are the most common in EU), you will end with a higher consumption.
Because also the small rural village is classified as “urban” so it need to follow the same general law.
Rural and urban are not mutually exclusive
I would be terrified of using a bluetooth mesh network in a situation where private, encrypted communications are illegal. That would be literally walking around transmitting your intent. It’s a great idea in a free country though.
You have a point but that would means that the only other solution is to fall back to personal comunications, every electronic channel is unusable in such situation.
In a dystopia, you want to blend in.
Or you can simply have so much irrelevant data that the few important bits are lost in a sea of randomness if you don’t know where to look.
Something like deltachat has the right idea there - you have to look like boring email on the network. Maybe even layer on stenography -sending boring emails with cat pictures, but your messages are hidden inside them.
The main point of using bluetooth is to not rely on a centralized server that can be compromised and/or shut down.
If you still use email as transportation layer you could just write an app that really has e2ee, plausible deniability or any other feature you want since in the end you are relying on the same centralized infrastructure.
Honestly, I would probably go with sneakernet. A microsd card can be hidden very easily, are difficult to detect electronically, transport virtually unlimited text, and be encrypted in-case the mule gets caught to prevent networks being exposed. The latency is just a necessary evil.
The latency is not the problem, it is already known that to move large quantities of data the fastest method is to send an hard drive (or whatever else).
The real problem here is where the mule can go.
Which would not be that much of a problem if not for the first 2 weeks, until someone put out a GUI to do it, with integration with app stores to download automatically the app…
oh wait…
Switch to mesh networks could be an idea. It is not that difficult to send messages with bluetooth, problem is adoption: a system like that works only if there are many people using it.
Last time did not end well for about 6 million people…
Obviously not the personal password, but sometimes you need to share a password. Think about the password for a remote desktop your team may need to connect to for troubleshooting a problem for example.
If someone can gain physical access to your PC you are done anyway, he van simply copy the file or do whatwver he want
Yes, I was thinking of it but wrote down wrong.
FreeCAD aside, if you want to go somewhat commercial there is “Moment Of Invention”. I tried the free 90 trial and it was really powerfull and somewhat simpler than FreeCAD.
Additionally, no subscription, no cloud, just the software.
Do you really think that they can pay 5 trillion dollars, or even the 20% of this, to the the shareholders ?
Let’s hope that this process will continue even after Trump
Make the companies pay dearly for this
No, not the company, this would only put in in danger the employees (guess who would be fired in case of downsizing).
You need to dearly punish who signed the contract.
Partially, if OpenAI lose 11.5 billion, someone get 11.5 billion, the money is used to pay something it did not vanish in a cloud
I agree, but we are discussing why manufacturers are not idiot to not optimize engines for the speed limit of a very (for now, I agree) percentual of the streets.
