  • We don’t need hyperbole here …. If authorities have a legal reason to search and you interfere with that, destruction of evidence is a crime. Delete all you want …. Right up until authorities claim the legal reason to search. Usually that takes a warrant: investigators must convince a judge there is a good reason

    This also includes “when entering the country”. It always has. There’s nothing new here. There are so many things the current administration does to violate rights and due process, but this isn’t one of them.

    The slippery slope here is “or within 100 miles”, but that wasn’t a factor here either

  • That changed this year. Tesla enabled adaptive headlights this spring and I read that Rivian did more recently. Audi is in process but can’t do it with an over the air software update

  • At least in my state, the annual inspection is supposed to check headlight alignment. However I’ve never heard of anyone getting a fail on that so I doubt they do

  • Yes adaptive headlights are excellent. It’s finally coming to the US. I believe Tesla and Rivian have them and Audi is in the process.

    It is definitely entertaining driving around with them on, watching the dark spot follow oncoming traffic

    I’ve also seen referential self-leveling headlights but never paid attention to what those are

  • Given that many things, including reflectors, reflect light directly back, yes it is beneficial to have the headlights close to the drivers sightline

  • My Subaru has those and it doesn’t do what you expect. In that case, it’s literally another set of lights synchronized with the steering wheel. There are no moving parts.

    I’ve had people come up to me to point out that “only my right foglight is on” thinking I have a burned out bulb. Nope, turning right lights the right side.

    I seem to remember from a documentary on the Tucker that the moving parts caused reliability issues

  • It’s an arms race. People are blinded by the glare of oncoming headlights in their old cars, so search for a way to safely drive their next car.

    I was tempted for my older car because it was getting really difficult to drive at night with how dim those headlights were, relative to oncoming glare. I see replacement LED bulbs “for off-road use only” advertised as much brighter. Turns out replacing the bulbs (with new correct ones) and cleaning the windshield made some difference. Enough

  • The Fourth Circuit Says Border Agents Can Search Your Phone By Hand, No Suspicion Required

    Jump

  • Nearly every piece of America is patrolled by border patrol.

    can be. Yeah that’s part of my point: the law defining the scope of their actions can be interpreted as applying to almost everywhere. We used to trust that it would be used only to police borders and customs but clearly we’re being naive

  • If the Fediverse became more popular, wouldn't it fall under the law's "Age Verifications" rules too?

    Jump

  • Or if there’s a problem. Even the smallest instance is likely to face enforcement if some issue makes headlines. And law enforcement isn’t likely to care that it’s just one instance

  • If the Fediverse became more popular, wouldn't it fall under the law's "Age Verifications" rules too?

    Jump

  • Many sites are already using age verification as an excuse to block firewalls. Presumably the fediverse wouldn’t but …..

    I use Apple’s “Private Relay” so websites see a regional location rather than my actual ip and location. However oven been seeing more and more sites that block it as “firewalls are not allowed”

  • There always have been various warrantless searches at the border, but recent political chaos shows how easily that slides down the slippery slope toward fascism

  • And I imagine that’s it. At some point Tesla installed the hardware for adaptive headlights. So maybe a transition around that? Where the lights were brighter but adaptive could not be supported

  • That’s a lot of work/cost to just find out whether something needs to be done.

    Almost makes you want each part to report an id ……. Until you think about vendor locks and surveillance

  • I found it weird there are about 20,000 vehicles of concern for models that sold millions. I wonder what happened, how are those relative few different?

    That being said, they are really bright but now that we finally have the adaptive beams enabled, it seems to make a huge difference

  • I’ve had this discussion with my conservative brother

    Me: my company has diversity programs to reach a wider pool of applicants and to help people with historical disadvantages fulfill their potential. The best manager I ever had, had a little help overcoming language and confidence barriers, and i was happy to follow her to multiple companies

    Him: they keep bringing in these managers solely by their gender or skin color and never promote engineers. They made us take this one employee who is completely unqualified and we have to do her work

    He buys that there’s a harmful dei mandate that prevent qualified people from succeeding. You can imagine there’s some resentment there. However it’s easier to explain as normal large company bs, and only knowing part of the story
