I let myself in this morning, to see if I could figure out what had commandeered the camera on both my desktop and iPad last night. Everything worked perfectly. I did have to re-login my AppleTV this morning, so some kind of WiFi glitch?
I get so frustrated with this sh*t.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

I doubt it’s wifi related. More likely a Zoom/Apple temporary glitch."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -

I get so frustrated with this sh*t.We watched Apocalypto the other night and as we watched a scene in which the community was eating and celebrating anround a fire after a day of hunting, I asked my party whether they thought people were happier back then. Most agreed with me that they thought they were.Life has become too complicated, IMO. “Off soapbox.” -

Despite being a (old) millennial, I largely shun technology (at my own peril). Seems to me like nothing ever works the way it should. iPhone wouldn’t iMessage yesterday. TV wouldn’t connect to wifi today. No rhyme or reason to either, which to me, is the frustrating part.Life has become too complicated, IMO. “Off soapbox.”

There are systems in today's cars that are safety related. I am all for those such as, tension sensor seat belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes, stability control and anti-skid sensors.In my opinion there are also numerous electronic systems and sensors that enable the driver to be less engaged in "driving" the car. Lane departure, active cruise control and blind spot alerts come to mind. Never mind the driverless cars of the here and now and expanding. If you are behind the wheel of a few ton vehicle going down the road you need to focus on the vehicle. Too much of the electronics are designed to give the driver an excuse to focus elsewhere.I realize this is "an old man with a lawn" ranting about the future of transportation but there is so much to dial in before the driverless car can even replace a subway ride. Even then the subway systems have collisions. Happy eve of 123123. 🥂Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

The attendees at last night’s Zoom session will attest to the fact that I predicted this blowout of FSU by Georgia. Still, not sure I would’ve guessed a sixty point differential.

However, there was one time, on my last stoplight home, had entered the right-hand turn lane next to a Ford F-OMG50 at a red light. Car suddenly slammed on the brakes, before I could see around that yuge truck. And both I and the small girl crossing the street, in front of the truck, were startled. She was not visible above the truck, and the car saw her/braked before I saw her. Would I have stopped in time myself? I don't know.
I don't think I can disable the "Nannie" that brakes for me in that car, but after that happened, I wouldn't; that scared me. Score one for the robot.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

While we are ranting about cars, we are road tripping and wtf is the move where the guy behind you in the speed lane flashing his lights to get you to move over? It’s not like people are dawdling, bumper to bumper, speed lane is hauling ass and douche bags in f-150s come to the back of the line and expect to just flash their way to the front. Whatever happened to defensive driving? I saw it several times, this trip. When I want someone out of my way and I’m driving a truck I just ride their ass so close all they see is a grill logo in the rear view, I mean cmon have some skin in the game.

@Botch - shortly after getting my latest vehicle, I parked on the side of the street, dropping our youngest off for a practice. The car was off, but wouldn’t let me open my own door to get out for some reason.
Then a car went whizzing by.
I hadn’t seen it, but the sensors had, and decided that opening the door with a car coming was no bueno. Blew me away, especially since the car was off.
Some will say well I really should have looked before trying to open my door, and I agree! I should have. But the point is that the sensor stopped my mistake from causing a much bigger one. We should embrace this sort of thing, while still teaching people to be cautious.
I know enough about how machine learning algorithms work that I’m not sure I’ll ever fully trust a car steering itself through traffic, to the point where I’ll take my eyes off the road. Especially those relying on cameras alone (hello Elon, you moron). But autonomous brakes that rely on radar to prevent collisions? Give me those any day of the week - as a backup to me and my reflexes, I’m happy to have them. They will end up saving a lot of lives once almost all of the vehicles on the road have them."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
All I know is that this nonsense of push button start is wicked pissa if you lose your keys inside the car. For almost a year I could just get inside my car, push the button and go. Last week a light on the dashboard showed that the remote battery needed changing, forcing me to finally find the little bugger. I had looked for it in the past, the fuzzy little soon to be ex-wife looked for it too. I finally found it inside the metal rails that the driver seat rides on. It fit perfectly inside the seat rails. What kind of engineer makes their car keys fit perfectly inside the drivers seat car rails. Morons.

As an aside, new technology isn't the only interesting thing. With all the technological gizmos in cars and whatnot, here are still old mysteries that the science weenies still haven't figured out For instance, with such short arms, how did the trex masturbate?

Off-hand I'd say "don't drive slowly in the left lane!" Slow is relative to the vehicle in front of and behind you.

I reserve flashing lights for those pacing the car next to them and speed limit or less.Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

Seems simple enough to me.
