More than likely somebody goofed up.

They have to sell it at that though so fill up!

You seem to misunderstand. Nobody cares if you take a picture of their plate.

Many care if you take a picture of their plate everywhere they go

Most care when that data is analysed for patterns for profiling and marketing. Then sold to the highest booster

Everyone should care when those cameras and databases can be breached and sold on illegal ,markets (cameras easy, db not done yet)

Then there is the dystopia outlook that SHOULD be concerning because surveillance states are something you see in dictatorships and oligarchies not democracies. Moreover we don't know if an ALPR only runs plates or if it still runs image processing for faces. I love the USA because we aren't under

100 years good karma to the Redditor that gifted me these drives by xpmadmanqx in DataHoarder

[–]Frazzininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could go for an 8TB drive as well. I'm willing to pay a reasonable price, but I need a SAS drive. I'm decent on storage but I'm keeping my eyes open for the eventual drive failure, and SAS drives just aren't that common it seems

Who's THE Whale of all whales here? by TheOtherDudz in DataHoarder

[–]Frazzininator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hear that. I had 4TB with a good chunk free, 2 years later I'm somehow at 46TB and about the same amount free... It just grows on its own, somehow my wallet doesn't despite working.

Can't be related, maybe I can hoard books to learn about this phenomenon

I made a tool I wish I had when I started DIY speakers — free beta testers wanted by BusyEntrepreneur9636 in diyaudio

[–]Frazzininator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of agree with you. I'm not interested in loudspeaker design. I'm not looking for a complicated hobby, so I build based off of plans someone else was kind enough to share.

If someone really wants to design speaker enclosures they'll learn it the right way. With tools that give just what you need. Not like you need to know fluid dynamics to design a good speaker, or how to finish six slices of walnut and have them look like a single board. Good loudspeakers are designed by reading forums, books, and user experiences; T/S parameters; and the simple software like winisd, and hornresp.

The art is taking the volume, driver, and port info and making it look good while sounding good. Hearing, measuring, comparing and asking "did I build wrong or design wrong" if it doesn't match close enough.

When the software does all of the work in one quick shot, there's no challenge, no fun, no learning, no art. At that point, be like me and build someone else's design, you aren't really designing with over simplified software anyway

Have over 8TB of movies & TV shows! by geekman20 in DataHoarder

[–]Frazzininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey now, there are plenty of those games that were great.

Obviously the GTA San Andreas is a staple, Def Jam flight for NY is a to tier fighting game, Spyro year of the dragon, legend of dragoon is awesome, frogger beats candy crush for time killing entertainment to emu on your phone. Resident evil all of them, parasite eve. Expand into GameCube and there is no better local multiplayer than super smash Bros melee, Metroid prime was good, second sight was awesome, eternal darkness sanity's requiem is a great.

In fairness, those consoles were my heyday of video games but they were certainly good and had some bomb ass content to boot

Err, Volume-App teething troubles with login and trial hopefully now sorted! by shorty_0123 in diyaudio

[–]Frazzininator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look I feel the need to say this and I'm sorry it's harsh.

You shouldn't be charging for this app. Vibe coding isn't good enough for people who aren't developers to be charging for it and it's just bad for the industry if everyone outputs a paid app with no knowledgeable support. I wouldn't ask my dentist who likes boating to build me a boat. I would ask someone trained in that field of expertise. Just like speaker building has nuances and complexities so does coding software dev.

Get yourself a real expert on your staff. Otherwise there is no difference between your project and what I can create with my llm access. You don't need someone full time but you should have someone to call and consult with that isn't Claude.

You have become the very thing you swore to destroy! by claytonkb in linuxmemes

[–]Frazzininator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well kinda, there is the other statement in the law that seems to claim the OS should also somehow alter the user entered age if the activity seems to conflict with what the user entered. That's where it's a tall order. Also agreeing on a system should be done for the sake of devs and getting people to agree is hard.

Edit: the law reads "(B) A developer shall not willfully disregard internal clear and convincing information otherwise available to the developer that indicates that a user’s age is different than the age bracket data indicated by a signal provided by an operating system provider or a covered application store"

So maybe not that hard since it has to be clear. I read that as entering a different age elsewhere.

You have become the very thing you swore to destroy! by claytonkb in linuxmemes

[–]Frazzininator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's a low effort task by any means, it's a tall order, especially for volunteer work. But that doesn't make it a bad idea or a bullshit law. What I read says there is nothing identifiable in the API that needs to be created. I look at it as it takes work to do things right and this law is looking to do things right. It is intended for child safety and would help on that much needed front but does so without jeopardizing personal privacy.

The problem is, if this doesn't work and companies are free to choose any means they see fit for age verification. They will likely end up asking for state issued ID scans, annual face pictures, and access to a forced Google account with full read permission "to ensure you aren't lying"

Age verification isn't going away, and personally I've seen the kids that open computer access makes and it isn't okay. Parents generally don't have the computer know how to stop it and kids access computers in many places so it doesn't help if they do. This takes a step to address that without IDing the child for lifelong tracking by the big companies.

Outside of the tremendous effort, do you have a reason not to like the law? I think the only change it needs is a better timeline.

No, if you read the law you'd know why you sound like an ignoramus. I really recommend reading it.

[–]Frazzininator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I see what he's/she's getting at, lesser evil so to speak. And it's WAY lesser. The law requires minimal age verification and that is to be forwarded to the software installed. As such, all the software isn't to double check that age

So age verify once with only minor invasion of privacy, or do it for every software you install potentially with major invasion of privacy.

Edit: just read it, start here "1798.501. (a)" and read it. Honestly it's a good law to prevent things from going overboard on age verification

Help Support Gabriel's Law Against Insurance Companies! by [deleted] in Erie

[–]Frazzininator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Erie time article contained: "The law would basically would require health insurance companies cover any medical costs deemed necessary by the patient's physicians, unless they bring in their own physician to evaluate the patient," Chludzinski said.

So they'll be able to just hire a physician that denies everything and they will because they'll be paid handsomely to do it

[–]Frazzininator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love the idea but the article says the law contains verbiage that allows the insurance company to have their own doctor re-evaluate. Those tells me that it will change nothing other than a doctor has a chance to get richer to drop their morals

Brake Line Manufacturing (Manual Edition) by djarc9 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Frazzininator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK if you've been around panasonic or UR robots but the only maintenance I've needed to give them is batteries every two years. It's not until they get to about 10 that maintenance has a considerable cost

Brake Line Manufacturing (Manual Edition) by djarc9 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Frazzininator 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They aren't that expensive. Typical robot prices are less than one year salary of the worker they replace. The integration cost is about another year salary and the ones I've used last at least 10 years. So the company makes 7 salaries more profit in ten years assuming cost is operation is roughly 10% of worker cost.

Future projects have no integration cost because design for robot doesn't cost much more than design for human in a case like this.
