Lesson learned: when you "borrow" hardware from work, don't bring it back.

if you're willing to pay cash and meet me in a public place in the Greater Portland Area (Maine, not Oregon) make me an offer. If the offer is not for cash, or requires shipping the product. fagheddaboot it.

The last few years I seem to have gotten the seniority aura that scares machines into submission and working just by standing next to them.
I wonder what would happen if you met @Tsaukpaetra. Would a massive explosion occur, like a matter/antimatter collision?
Not much. My own shit breaks when I work on it, but for others it unbreaks when I approach.
I think it's karma.
No, the experiment will be when my machine isn't working and both are present to observe.
Collapse that wave motherfucker!

Portland has been inhabited since at least the Mesolithic period (the Middle Stone Age)—there is archaeological evidence of Mesolithic inhabitants at the Culverwell Mesolithic Site, near Portland Bill,[3] and of habitation since then. The Romans occupied Portland, reputedly calling it Vindelis

I've actually needed to "reboot my car" a time or two in the past, but for some reason, it only ever happens when I'm in the parking lot at the end of a trip. On the road, where I'd need to pull over? Never, not once. Not sure why.
I have to reboot my cruise control once in a while, by restarting. I can do this while waiting at a traffic light, however.

Today, our architect wanted to show an error in the system I'm building. As soon as I arrived at his desk, the system started behaving.It is not that the system is afraid of you -- it just wants to make the architect look foolish.

He does that perfectly well on his own.

My daughter could probably benefit from that. She plays music in her bathroom while showering and spends a lot of time yelling at it trying to get it to skip a song or whatever.

Well there's her problem. The song's called "Avalon".

Mine occasionally develops an error condition where it displays dashboard warnings for brakes, ABS, and traction control. The brakes actually work fine in this condition, although I've never needed ABS or traction control, and I don't want to find out whether they work. I can reset the error by shutting the ignition off for a few seconds, and I can do that at a traffic light if there happens to be one. If I'm on the open road, I'll pull off at the next good opportunity. Once it's reset, sometimes I'll have to
doreset it again in a few minutes; sometimes it will be weeks untilitthe error happens again. Rephrased to avoid and QooC.

@Rhywden So the way to fix malfunctioning technology is to get medieval on it?
At the very least, you'll know why it's broken afterwards.

Aww, you've never reset at speed? It's so fun! Especially if your brakes and steering are completely electronic!
-
@Tsaukpaetra I might have, rarely, on a straightaway with light traffic, but that would be very exceptional. And no electronic brakes or steering, but power-assisted, which is "fun" when the engine isn't running.

ABS and TC are the same system - both work by changing the braking force applied to a paricular wheel(s). It'll likely be some intermittent fault either with the speed sensor at the wheel(s) or somewhere between it and the control unit.

Can't blame them. I mean, such a thing has never been done before. There's no way they could have foreseen the unfortunate consequences.

I have a BlackVue dashcam. I didn't configure that feature.
I had a quick look on the app though. Picked a random area in the US.
The cameras can be viewed on the green ones. Here's one of the F150s.
Different location. Looks snowy near Seattle.
Speaking of snow, let's see what's going on in Canada.

But what BlackVue's app doesn't make clear is that it is possible to pull and store users' GPS locations in real-time over days or even weeks. Motherboard was able to track the movements of some of BlackVue's customers in the United States.
How was that not completely obvious?
I mean, not for the users, it's understandable that "I don't think people understand the risk". But the developers should've known better.

@loopback0 I thought it was only showing parked vehicles until I found this moving one in Germany.
Oops.
edit: I can LiveView other cameras for 10mins a day. Apparently I can buy extra minutes.

They probably did. But the project manager / marketing didn't care.

"2017 PIU"?
That's a cop...
Or more specifically, a 2017 Police Interceptor Utility.
Which is almost certainly a cop.

So you can use BlackVue to watch police chases in real time? Sweet!

There are instances of police vehicles being stolen or otherwise driven by someone other than a police officer, like a mechanic.
