> Do you own a car? What’s more likely, misplacing your car keys, or misplacing your phone?

I do own a car. Keys in home are always in exact same spot. Phone can we literally anywhere, good I have smartwatch and I can trigger "locate my phone" that way.

I just don't get the idea of unlocking car though app via internet. Neither I get the "keyless entry" (meaning I do not even need to touch the key fob to unlock car) and "start button" (well if you place key in ignition switch then you will not lose it!)

The security drawback is not worth, fixing non-existing problem in the first place.

Some of the mentioned projects started outside Meta and probably we'd get them anyway without them. Maybe later, maybe in different shape.

They do not care about 'secure' part at all.

And that's the irony for me - adds another package over package, but it probably complies with documents, I hope they are filled in paper.

I get the idea behind the law. Not once I was surprised how many waste is in packaging and badly packaged goods (not only shipped, but even available in local shop). But this regulation changes nothing, just adds layer of paperwork and broke international shipping (many non-eu stopped selling to eu - I hope it's temporary only…).

"Degraded availability" is just marketing bs for saying it was not working at all ;)

I don't want anyone to solving this.

This is problem generated by govt, and they just want to solve it with "children safety" as excuse. This is parents problem, not my problem.

I tend not to use websites that forces me to use their app. If users want it - make it existing, but DO NOT force other users to install your app if they want to just use the mobile web experience.

Glad I have slightly older car where 'adaptive cruise control' means keeping distance from car in front of me. Nothing more.

Sometimes I watch some reviews of newer cars, and numbers of beeping, comms on central screen, etc is just… overwhelming me. Watching video. Cannot imagine driving in that conditions.

But for chat control the problem never existed in the first place.

I have similar board, from same producer - BananaPi BPI-R3 Mini.

Got cheaper version without case - designed simple box with cutouts and 3d printed it out.

I can say it works flawlessly. I'm very happy about it. Previously I was using openwrt on different consumer-grade routers and I always had some issues, even when selecting supported devices.

> Wasn't this rejected not so long ago?

And that's the issue with all bad laws. They have to approve it once. We have to fight against indefinitely…

Couldn't agree more. There will be marketing trend for authenticity and real interactions. At least I hope so.

Personally I am at the moment that when I even slightly feel something may be AI output… I just stop reading. Sometimes it's just false positive, but there are some senstences / styling so ai-looking that I'm just tired off, even if its written by human.

In comments I see a lot about chatbots… Yep, it's just the worst of the worst. Most (all?) are just not helpful at all. Spinning around same things, but never ones you'd need. Sometimes I just feel they're programmed in a way to exhaust me to ditch and ignore the problem I had.

+1. My worst experience was tech interview for TL… with current two most senior persons in team, with no-one else supervising the process. That couldn't go well.

Not the same extent like it was before… Now most of the times is just slowed down traffic (quick glance who's in car and move on), and more than that I was maybe stopped two times for quick chit-chat (where/why I'm heading). And I crossed, multiple times, borders of DK (they had checks since 2018?), DE, A, IT, CH, CZ…

Quick ID check happened once - when I was traveling with bus across border.

Back in a days it was a lot, lot slower and more detailed.

I'm not reading comments to like them. I want to know other points of view, learn something, get bigger context, etc. AI opinion is worthless. If I'd like AI opinion I will simply ask chat/gemini/whatever other LLM myself.
