Some information about the Toyota cases: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_... page 14 is especially interesting.

And more technical information: https://www.safetyresearch.net/Library/BarrSlides_FINAL_SCRU...


Impressive! I've made something a lot more hacky and limited for simple realtime use cases: https://github.com/fdkz/aniplot

There are still some mornings where one has to move to stage 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z-9RCuV0Lg


For me the biggest problem is that the registered letter is not the letter that was hit by the finger, but the letter that the finger was lifted up from. Slide-to-type is off.


This did not help in my case. I have 3 DisplayPort 1.2 monitors, and half of the open windows get still tossed around randomly when the monitors wake from sleep, or when the whole PC wakes from sleep.


I'm in the same boat with my Dell P2210t- it's DisplayPort connection "disconnects" the screen, which is really annoying when you're trying to operate remotely and your config doesn't match its anymore.


I just disable the windows update service under "Services" and re-enable once every two weeks (and run the Windows Update GUI to click "search for updates" or what's it called) to keep everything up-to-date. Has worked without problems for the last year.


Same here. I've found that all the other registry and policy methods eventually stopped working for me whereas disabling the update service has worked reliably for 9+ months.


They should just copy a linux distro. Mint would be a good one. Have a little icon that tells me when I'm out of date, then I can click it and update at my convenience. I think iphone does this, right? To operate their OS? So it is possible to make this work for "normal" users, whomever they are.


Mint can't auto-upgrade, so I don't think they're a good example...


No- it tells you when you need to upgrade so you can do it manually. That's the point. (Sorry for the late reply.)


> Why is zdnet trying to put this UK law as if it was something out of the ordinary ?

Because the 2006/24/EC data retention directive [1] didn't say anything about browsing history and even then was invalidated by the Court of Justice of European Union. The new UK law however:

"The law will force internet providers to record every internet customer's top-level web history in real-time for up to a year, which can be accessed by numerous government departments; force companies to decrypt data on demand -- though the government has never been that clear on exactly how it forces foreign firms to do that; and even disclose any new security features in products before they launch."

Output of the nesC compiler is one big C-file, so no problems there.


One example: when the usb cable is yanked under macosx while a serial port is open, 50% of the time macosx crashes, and sometimes the crash occurs randomly up to 2 hours later.


That's because the Mac OS X FTDI drivers that FTDI provides are absofuckinglutely terrible. Don't install them, use libusb from userspace...


Or use the less-buggy FTDI drivers that are provided by Apple in Mac OS X 10.9. The vendor drivers are no longer needed.


Did not know that Apple provided drivers, finally! I haven't played with an FTDI in a while!


I don't see a problem with the sentence "Much of aging comes from a misunderstanding of the effect of comfort - a disease of civilization". I read it like this: people think comfort is good and healthy and prolongs life, so they seek comfort and get fragile/sick - they misunderstand the effect of comfort.
