The driver monitoring camera works well. It beeps loudly when it detects inattention ie eyes off the road.

And bear in mind, this is an ADAS level 2. It's not a totally hands off system. I have to be prepared to take control at all times due to various reasons eg. turn beyond its steering limit, roundabouts, traffic lights, constructions. Think of it as the better version of the car's line keeping assist.

I found that it lightens the cognitive load of driving, especially useful when driving longer distances.


Try Nebo.

I've tried them all, including Concepts. Concepts was great but it requires subscription and it gets slower when you have a very large drawing. I tried large Goodnotes paper too, but it was a bit clunky.Nebo was good, but then I kind of stopped doing large notes.


What about improving our own lives. I live in a first world country, work as a dev with decent earning. But finding things are expensive these days

If you work as a dev in a first world country, it’s hard to imagine you’re truly struggling in any real sense (monetarily speaking I mean) unless you’re in your first couple years I suppose.

Still, if it somehow is the case, then this message isn’t directed at you. It’s just a little hard to imagine most developers can’t handle giving up a thousand bucks a year or whatever, which could literally save lives in some cases.


Things have indeed gotten more expensive. But is it crimping your style? Do you eat enough $7/doz eggs and drink enough $11/gal milk to make a difference?

There are quite a few Americans for whom it is, and I'd also like to see more aid given to Americans who need it. Unfortunately, I don't see any effort towards that. Any savings from canceling foreign aid appears to be directed into tax cuts -- sadly, not something that benefits those who can't afford eggs.


I know it's not a key part of your point, but I'm curious if there's actually a place in the US where milk is $11/gallon. Here in Seattle it's remained around $4/gal.

Organic can be expensive. The Aldi near me in Michigan has its half-gallon at around $5-$6 usually. Regular milk is around $2.50-$3.50 a gallon.

statistically people reading articles these days are often well off enough that improving their own lives won’t mean much in terms of “sleeping under a bridge vs under a roof” or “eating or not eating”, whereas for others that might be the case.

Also nobody said you can’t improve your own life at the same time.

Also you helping other people doesn’t have to be necessarily monetarily.


Kiwi Browser. It supports regular Chrome extensions, including uBlock Origin

Those are high salaries. I make less than them, and I don't want to donate my hard earned salary to richer people than myself.

I bet if you get rid of those bunch, it will have net positive effect on Mozilla. These people are just leeches IMO. They get paid X number of times of the average Mozilla employee, but they don't really deliver X number of times the value.


Chrome is also fast


I have some shamefully bloated webpages and some rather low end computes. I don't know why or how and realize it is highly anecdotal. Just sharing my surprise. I don't have any extensions. (if you do add things to chrome that are native in brave I imagine it to work slower) Perhaps it is my limited ram that holds back (the more memory hungry) chrome. Not sure how regularly calling home affects chrome.


Hi, do you have these tweaks published somewhere? I'm particularly interested in knowing your GPD Win Mini tweaks.

Thanks


Yes you can buy something like this prebuilt. Lenovo workstations for example. Quite expensive new, but there are many second hands on eBay


Non ping-ponging lane following assist is already available in many cars including KIA and Hyundai models. They're very conservative and disengage very easily. I think it's by design to minimise their legal accountability


Not just legal accountability, but actual safety. They are designed so that they do not give the user a false impression of the extent of their capabilities.


I've been incredibly surprised to see that lane assist in my Kia is significantly better than that of most other (legacy non-hi-tech, think nicer hondas and lexus ICE/hybrid) cars I get a chance to drive.

I unfortunately don't have radar cruise control on my Kia, though, which would make highway driving even in traffic completely effortless, and this seems to be standard on themore expensive cars. Maybe it's for the better, though, because it does force me to be much more attentive on the road.


I am addicted to radar cruise + lane assist in my Kia. I use it all the time in traffic.


Hyundai actually has two systems, LKA and LFA. LKA just tries to bounce the car back when it detects lane edges, LFA actively keeps the car in the middle of a lane.

All Hyundai models in Europe have LKA, some (more expensive) also have LFS.


Also Honda. In my Accord 2018 it lane kept but didn’t even play a sound when it lost tracking.


DisplayLink (that allows to add more external displays than what Apple allows) relies on the screen recording feature. I think it creates virtual displays, captures and pipe them to the connected monitors.

It's going to be very annoying if I have to grant it permission on a weekly basis


Clicking a button once per week shouldn't be a huge chore.

You can even automate it with something like Karabiner or Keyboard Maestro :D
