  • Whatever clown. Area is area. Not every car is an SUV like people here think. I never said storage specifically was an edge case but go ahead an twist my words.

    We'd be fucked without cars, plain and simple.

    Don't like cars? Prove it campaign for a better alternative. But no... You won't do that because your too busy during in cars that people rarely have a choice to avoid.

    Like.. if everyone lived somewhere where there was a bus stop on every corner but decided not to use it then this com might have a fair case.

    But that simply isn't true.

    The fact that everyone here hates is that cars are are awesome. They really are.

    Give me a more awesome option than a car to get to work and get around and I'll hand in my car tomorrow. And I mean it. I fucking love public transport. Nothing beats sitting on my ass with noise cancelling buds and having some quiet time while someone else drives the train.

    Instead of making an ass out of yourself continuing together broken arguments and pointing to these giant mystical SUVs you reckon area a big deal (but in reality very few actually own) go campaign for a better alternative.

  • raiding it's territory and kills and kidnaps a number of it's citizen.

    As Israel has done to Palistinians already for years?

    But that just gets swept under the carpet when Israel does it.

    Israels actions standing over the Palestine should have had them classed as terrorists long ago.

    Hamas is no better though, leaving 2 terrorist organisations fighting while innocents suffer.

  • I'd be careful with that suggestion. Some external readers will only read SATA M.2, Dube will only read NVMe M.2.

    Ideally you'd want I've is each or one that will do both for maximum compatibility.

    Though most drives do seem to be NVMe now.

  • I'll start with last point first. Square area is what the OP image referenced (length X width of space taken).

    So if it's wrong for me to use it then it's wrong for the op too.

    Cars gotta be parked... People have garages and carparks exist. We seen to manage that fine.

    And for for done people with disabilities cars are the only way.

    I'm short on time so I'll make this quick... As much as you can drag up edge cases where cars are bad, I could do the same about bikes... But the difference between the morons here and I, is that I'm not trying hard to shit on one mode of transport over another.

    It might surprise you but for the most part cars and bikes co exist fine.

  • The amount of time the square area of a car occupies a given square area of road for the distance travelled and people carried is a fraction of that used by cyclists.

    I'm all for this com making good arguments, I do truly believe change is needed with regards to many issues, social and environmental.

    By the arguments that come up here do nothing but show this place to be a circle jerk for some truly gifted morons.

    Serious question... Are you lot taking the piss or do you really believe the rubbish that gets pushed here?

  • You'd be surprised just how few search engines the are.

    Google and Bing are about all there is.

    Most other 'search engines' just offload the hard work onto existing search engines.

    Very few people actually know DuckDuckGo sources their results from Bing for example.

    The infrastructure Mozilla uses to serve their content is microscopic compared to what they'd need to operate a fully independent and capable modern search engine.

  • How's your WiFi infrastructure? Assuming you have the area covered with WiFi you could go PoC (PushToTalk Over Cellular). There are dedicated handsets you can use for this for as low as USD$50 ea on Ali Express. Being that it's just WiFi there are no licenses to worry about. Having a 2 way radio type handset makes it pretty familiar, buy you can very much use it with existing mobile handsets. Zello seems to be the de-facto standard for this but i believe other options exist.

  • All i can see is that as per @Inductor@feddit.de it just switches between the audio sources for 'DATA MOD' and 'DATA OFF MOD' in the CONNECTORS menu. Seems like a lame missed opportunity to also configure the other parameters of the radio for data. The addition of the 'PRESETS' menu seems like an additional missed opportunity to do the same. They describe it as a way we can save the state of the radio to suit digital modes... but then fail to let us save the sates of the most important things needed to be changed for digital modes. Seems like such a massive oversight, i just can't understand what they were thinking?

  • I still disagree. There are far more significant factors than the frequency.

    Longer wavelength isn't an instant blanket solution to better propogation.

    Factors like typical transmitter and receiver configurations matter, location matters, object density matters, reflections etc.. etc..

    Hence why UHF is preferred in some cases by emergency services and so on.

    Ultimately anything above 60MHz is going to be line of sight or a reflection when assuming the receiving station is mobile or portable, and in that case if the user is indoors higher frequencies might reflect better.

    Also narrow FM has more power density than wide FM for the same power level, hence why broadcast transmitters need to be so incredibly powerful to get anywhere.

  • Is actually agree with that, but given how careless scooter riders are in my area in laying the blame almost 100% on them.

    From what I've witnessed they're often arrogant and pay little attention to their surroundings, often having close calls simply by shooting off a path to cross a road without paying attention.

    I'm neutral on cars vs other modes of transport, so I'm not trying to favour one side or another, but each user or group has to take responsibility for their shortcomings, and the number of bad acting scooters is cyclists as a percentage of their respective groups is far too high.

    I'd trust a car driver to be attentive more than I'd ever trust a scooter rider or cyclist.

    Simply from my own observations.

  • Only one of these is often ridden on footpaths and walking areas.

    The limit makes sense.

    Another bullshit cars are evil post that just ignore facts and reality.

    Cars can somewhat be evil but if you want to capture the attention of people you've go to post well considered arguments.

    Not crap like this.
