I’m more concerned about the failure mode than the failure rates. Mechanical and hydraulic brakes can experience gradual failure, giving the driver a chance to pull over get the car repaired.

EVs usually have a single motor and a single inverter , both of which can fail suddenly. Electronics usually work perfectly fine until they suddenly don’t work at all (blown fuse, bad connection, blown capacitor etc)

How are they gonna build redundancy so that no single component failure means youre freewheeling downhill on the highway

Well that sounds terrifying. There’s a reason why the brake hydraulicsystem is actually two separate hydraulic systems, for diagonally opposite wheels. The only single-point-of-failure is the brake pedal.

Their leaving out the critical details on how this will electric system will be fail safe, or even legal.

The announcement was light on details about both the system itself and how its fail-safes are implemented.

Maybe they’ll return to spring actuated mechanical brakes that are released when everything is working. (More common in heavy industry, and I believe also truck brakes)

In Scandinavia we celebrate “jul” (Scandinavian word for Christmas). “Jul” sounds a lot like Yule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule :)

Sometimes that hoop is simply pressing regular - followed by <space>, and autocorrect does the rest. At least in the Microsoft office suite with English language setting

Correct, LibreOffice autosaves.

And older versions of Word …

In Norway, the trolley coined gained popularity as society went mostly cashless, yet the trolleys demanded their token. An earlier factor was that it was annoying to make sure you always had a coin of the correct denomination (physical size). Trolley coins can be part of your keychain, or won’t be accidentally used to buy a newspaper before going to the grocery store.

Most people still return the trolley and slide it in, like civilized humans should

The assumption is that the native passkey manager on the device (iPhone, android, windows) would sync the passkeys (to Apple , Google, Microsoft) for protection against device failure and easy of use across devices. Or you risk loosing your accounts if you loose your device.

Dont they all sync to the respective cloud services?
iOS vault -> synced apple cloud Android vault -> synced with Google cloud?
Windows Hello -> synced with Microsoft account?

And if they’re not synced, that’s even worse. Loose your device and loose your account. Or keep track of which of your 5 devices are have keys for which of your 150 accounts

A cursory search lead to this thread from 2024 https://community.bitwarden.com/t/concerns-over-bitwarden-moving-away-from-open-source-what-does-our-future-hold/74800

where an employee stated

I’ll note that policy wise nothing changed. The referenced issue is a packaging bug, but the goal still is the dual licensing model, with the core being open source, and some (mostly enterprise) features being source-available.

Both the client and server are mostly open source. Some server features are paywalled. The alternative Vaultwarden server is fully open source, and much lighter on system resources.

Have there been any recent licensing shenanigans with BitWarden?

A key for each service for each device is too impractical in real life.

Getting a new device would mean logging in to hundreds of services to link up the new device. Or somehow keep track of which services have keys with which devices. And signing up to a new service would mean having to remember to generate keys for a a handfull of devices, some of which might not be available at the time (like a desktop computer at home when you are out). Or you risk getting logged out if you loose the one device that had a key for that particular service.

I agree passkeys can make sense with something like BitWarden or KeyPassX. Something that is FOSS, and is OS and device agnostic, and let’s you sync keys across devices. And should have independent backups too. Sync is not backup.

I use BitWarden too. OS , device and browser agnostic is a win

But I imagine the vast amount of people will use whatever their platform is pushing, so Apple Google or Microsoft. And in 5 years time “3rd party passkeys” are not “secure enough” and blocked by the OS. (Ok that’s a bit tinfoil hat, but Google’s recent Android app developer verification scheme is fresh in mind)

The biggest disadvantage:

Disadvantages of Passkeys

Ecosystem Lock-In – Passkey pairs are synced through each vendor’s respective clouds via end-to-end encryption to facilitate seamless access multiple devices.

More eggs in the American megacorp basket for more people, yay

Probably youtube is just a bad example in this case. But javascript heavy pages were regular SaveAs doesn’t really work definitely exist, and the value is in preserving those websites information and formatting

Didnt the article say they retrieved the filename and hash, thus proving the existence of the crash diagnostic snapshot. After which Tesla handed over their copy?

Or did the forensics retrieve the actual data?

Edit: Given the importance of this type of data, not saving it to non-voletile memory is negligent at best. Even if it required a huge amount of space, they could delete unimportant files like the Spotify cache or apps or whatever

FSM in the context of a garage probably means Factory Service Manual, i.e. the service manual for a car or motorbike

Bottles is just a GUI to help you set up wine environments without having to deal with wine directly.

For troubleshooting just the lutris forums and wine bugtracker. I mostly play steam games so protondb is the best source of troubleshooting tips.

For those of us who didn’t know, CachyOS is and Arch-based distor with performance focus and some ease of use tools.

this blog explains some difference to other Arch-based distros

Da Vinci Resolve has native Linux builds though and should work. And does on Ubuntu based, Rocky Linux, arch and NixOS. I’m not sure about Nobora (Fedora based).

Though it’s hard to know what went wrong with vague descriptions like “everything was crashing”…

Tip: Add your non-steam games to steam to launch launch them with Proton. thats probably the easiest way.

Otherwise there’s Bottles and Lutris (and maybe HeroicLauncher)

There is a big push from EU at the moment to reduce “red tape” to make it easier for business, see for example mastodon post from EC a few hours ago: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/114280068967975617
