  • Yeah.

    This is why I bought myself some blink cameras. Obviously, privacy is shit (and I’ve factored this) and you’re affectively forced to pay for use their cloud service, but at least the (initial) purchase price is cheap.

    But I’ve ‘bought’ cameras for far more, only for them to hobble functionality a few years down the line. And they’ve had vulnerabilities or whatever.

    For the sensitive stuff, I have a camera with an SD card, but obviously phone notifications is a big selling point of systems like this.






  • Suspect it depends on where you live, but you’re not wrong.

    I think I’ve driven a million kilometres by now, it’s all become so fucking boring and second nature, that you start really being sloppy and distracted. Because you gained so much experience, you start to (unconciously) overestimate your skills.

    But the two hands thing really is necessary for if you hit something slippy or need to make an unexpected manoeuvre. The risks of driving are incredibly low, but if shit does hit the fan you’re in for a world of trouble if you’re doing something else.

    This isn’t fair.

    There’s a bug in one of the most recent security updates on windows, something to do with the size of the recovery partition, so at the moment plenty of windows users aren’t updating or failing to update, and it’s not as if windows has fixed it yet either so most users are stuck waiting on it.

    In other words: sometimes far too many updates, sometimes not enough (timely) updates, often broken updates.
