No button necessary for voice: “Hey Google, set my seat heater to medium.”

I would still like to have a button-only option, of course.


I don't use voice so I couldn't be sure, but in the video, the instructor pushes a button to activate Voice. So that may vary depending on the specific year and model.


Mileage varies a lot on this one. I have an Android Automotive car (not to be confused with Android Auto) and “Hey Google” is basically flawless for changing car settings while driving.


Docker Engine uses a feature of the Linux kernel called namespaces. Alternate OSes require a Linux VM. As another commenter mentioned, apps like Orbstack, Podman Desktop, and Docker Desktop provide a facility to create such a VM.


Mobile data sucks even in the densely populated northeast parts of the Amtrak system. Cell network congestion and dead spots where the railroad takes a path away from population centers and highways.


Yeah, and I'm not in the northeast, so for me, an Amtrak ride almost always means riding through long stretches of rural (and sometimes practically wilderness) areas. Mobile data connection goes in and out, very unreliable.


Same. It is annoying to dodge the prompts that guide me to save in Chrome or iCloud instead of 1Password, but with patience I have always succeeded. Of course, I know what I want and when to ignore what the machine suggests, which I wouldn’t expect of non-enthusiasts.


Google has acquired a lot of ad competitors, but I can't remember any general-purpose search engines. It seemed more like they died out naturally over a long period. I welcome new information if that's not right.


They definitely bought and killed DejaNews.

Edit: Per Wiki, Google has also bought and killed the following search engines/services that nobody has heard of: Outride, Kaltix, Plink, Like.com, Orion, Metaweb, Awkan Technologies.


The DOJ is concerned with moving the needle on one specific issue (search monopoly a.k.a. seatbelts) and is not concerned about the side effects on related entities (Firefox a.k.a. undertakers).


Amtrak reaches 110 mph in a few places in diesel territory (outside of the NEC). The Empire Service and Lincoln Service, for example.


My passkeys are in 1Password and work on every new device I set up.


CTF is waived for nonprofits, which is how a lot of FOSS projects are structured.


lots is doing a lot of work here. the overwhelming majority of FOSS projects have no structure at all much less non profit corporations behind them. more accurate would be to say "a small number of FOSS projects" or "a lot of the top several FOSS projects".
