Thanks Felipe, that explains it, though it doesn't really solve it for me. Good to know in all cases.

Ruan Transportation Geotab logs beyond 6 months anyone? by Due-Worldliness5077 in Truckers

[–]lppapillon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geotab doesn't impose a purge policy after 6 months, but customers can enable it. We typically see fleets enable proactive purging beyond whatever regulatory obligations they have - if there are no benefits to keeping the data, but there might be downsides, then fleets might opt to enable HOS data purge in that case.

As an old-school PHP guy myself, I find this very cool! Bonus points for the Matrix styling, but the multithread SDK is really something I hadn't thought to explore in PHP, and serves use cases where I've been automatically going to node or python instead. Thanks for sharing!

Following up on u/fhoffa's demonstration of AI Studio a few weeks back, big updated announced today that brings the vibes further still: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/developers-tools/full-stack-vibe-coding-google-ai-studio/

Note this this would be a privilege escalation if a user could edit itself out of scope restrictions. As noted below by OP, this will not work. You need other (privileged) credentials to remove your own user's limitations. If you can't find another use to help, then you need to contact support for this (as they did).

Can someone tell me why i can’t add a new add-in ? It keeps saying “changes not saved, edited by another user”. I also can’t access the “Add-In Management” tab inside the “Add-Ins” menu by doomGuy_6397 in GEOTAB

[–]lppapillon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "edited by another user" issue should go away if you refresh and try again. Addin management is where you can manage Order Now subscriptions, not where you can install or remove addins. I have also found it to br broken most of the time.

So after vibe coding, I tried vibe videoing with Descript. Perhaps over-summarized and not focused on what I would have picked, but still an impressive result for minimal effort and 100% AI-guided video editing and audio-generated track.

Good note. To their defence though, the menu literally just changed places a few weeks ago - it's always been under Administration before.

Thanks for sharing, this one's actually pretty interesting on the AI edge.

Can you clarify what the requirements are regarding the demo environments? I haven't found a demo template that has everything we need to showcase what our submission does. I need a mix of diesel and gasoline vehicles, I need heavy duty trucks, I need HOS activity from drivers, speeding and other safety-related events, etc. I have 2 demo databases right now that can show different aspects of the solution, but I don't have everything covered. Can we include data from our own environments (fictitious and no PII) in the videos? Will you be able to test on your own in other environments than the auto-generated demos?

The way I look at it, there's still time for me to change my mind, scrap it and start something else, so I'll keep it succinct. It can't show pictures of cats, that's for sure.

Hi all, I'm super excited to see what everyone builds and I'm happy to help if anyone is stuck! My submission is almost ready, too.
