Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down by Zpiritual in c/micromobility@lemmy.world

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

This look like a problem with trucks, no? Maybe we should have a system to prevent trucks from running over people.

There is also the problem of sites without tracking cookies having banners just to be on the safe side.

How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? by Zpiritual in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] Zpiritual@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

Daily. Bought my sennheiser wired noise cancelling headphones in 2017 and they look quite rough now but still sound great and nc is still on par or better than most new headphobes. My brother and sister bought the bluetooth counterpart and both have replaced them years ago since they broke.

I actually thought it would look cool at least since it's wildly different. That's just plain genuinely ugly.

Pretty sure mercedes has some vans like that. I know of a company that build them into off road & off grid camping vans and they do rock climbing, or whetever one would call it, in them. They are still quite long and big but not like the sheer stupid toys that a modern pickup is.

Tesla may have picked an unwinnable fight with Sweden’s powerful unions — The first ever strikes and a solidarity blockade against the US carmaker could force it to rethink its entire anti-union model by Zpiritual in c/technology@lemmy.world

So does Volvo and they haven't done much against unions. Chinese companies seem to adapt a bit easier to wherever they do business while American companies seem hellbent waging war against themselves like tesla do now.

I ride from -20 to +35C in basically any weather and since jackets and shorts exist that's all that's needed. My friends have their own bikes they can ride...

He may be referring to this:

The concerns include the abuse of remote validation of software (where the manufacturer‍—‌and not the user who owns the computer system‍—‌decides what software is allowed to run) and possible ways to follow actions taken by the user being recorded in a database, in a manner that is completely undetectable to the user.
