This is very sad news. I think that iMore was the first Web site I encountered where I was blown away to find an article on VoiceOver. It was then that I realized that accessibility features on Apple products weren't just documented on blindness-specific Web sites but that there was an awareness of this technology from mainstream sources. This is a sobering reminder that it's not just blindness-specific sites that could go away at any time.


Good morning everyone. Feeling a bit grumpy this morning, as you can probably tell, but nothing major that I won't get over. I hope you all have a wonderful day. If you need expert advice on persuasive writing, today I'm your guy. LOL
in reply to Bruce Toews

Hey, there. I can relate to the grumpiness, my friend. Hope it passes soon.


What language do you toot/post in the most?

Do you write and read Toots mostly in the same language or do you stick to one language or mix it up;
If you use a different language for different topics or day time i would be curios to know

В общем, сегодня у нас было внутрикорпоративное событие, где народ хвастался достижениями. Грубо говоря, этакий all-hands meeting по поводу релиза внутренней платформы для разработки, и разные команды хвастались, где и чего они достигли.

Ну что я могу сказать: после пары лет работы в Samsung я навсегда перешёл на айфоны. А после вот этого, Я БОЛЬШЕ НИКОГДА И НИ ЗА ЧТО НЕ СЯДУ В ЛЕКСУС!
Там просто ААААААААА!

Если не нарушать NDA, то, грубо говоря, я думал, что в автомобилестроении MISRA, AUTOSAR, CI/CD с параноидальными конфигами уймы анализаторов, расстрел из пулемёта за неинициализированную переменную. А здесь — нуууу, довольно ответственная разработка софта. Просто разработка, просто софта. С обычным легаси, с костылями, с хард-кодом, с кривыми BSP, требующими хаков в компиляторе. Ну то есть буквально та работа, к которой я привык, но НЕ В МАШИНЕ ЖЕ!

В общем, я был максимально прав, что всю жизнь считал, что в машине из электроники достаточно инжектора. Ну если очень хочется, то можно ещё ABS, но не более.

А теперь вот я увидел изнутри, как работает современное авто, и это, сука, вызывает у меня ужас и дрожь по всему телу.

Знаете, как открывается окно в современных премиальных автомобилях? А я вам расскажу!

Кнопка на двери, которая опускает стекло — нифига не кнопка, а энкодер, и прямо в двери установлен микроконтроллер, который считывает её состояние, и отправляет в CAN. CAN подключен к специальному грубо говоря хабу, который работает на линуксе (да, для «вторичных» штук там просто линукс), пакет идёт через обычный iptables, проверяется на то, что его отправил тот, кому можно, и откуда можно, и маршрутизируется в настоящую голову на QNX, там оно ещё раз идёт через файрволл (на этоти раз pf, который Blackberry портировал с OpenBSD ещё во времена оны), потом проверяется ещё набором правил, и если всё в порядке, то отправляется обратно с линуксовую маршрутизировалку, по направлению к стеклоподъёмнику. там оно проходит первую мааршрутизацию, закидывается во «вторичную» CAN-сеть, там ещё раз маршрутизируется в дверь, и в двери ЕЩЁ ОДИН контроллер принимает сигнал, и начинает драйвером мотора тащить вам стекло.

Само собой, на каждом этапе машина может запретить или поменять команду, скажем, сама закрыть окна на парковке, или запретить их открывать на каком-нибудь шоссе. Да, машина теперь постоянно на связи с материнским кораблём и получает оттуда команды, а сама отправляет туда статистику, скажем, по парковочным местам, которые видит бортовыми камерами и радарами.

А знаете, зачем она это делает? Потому что современному лексусу можно просто голосом сказать «Припаркуйся возле офиса», и он будет ехать по улице, вокруг твоего офиса, пока не найдёт подходящее место, а потом припаркуется туда. И если ты по пути заметишь более интересное место, можно просто сказать «Нет, припаркуйся туда», и показать рукой, куда. И ОН ПРИПАРКУЕТСЯ!

И мне сегодня показали на реальном автомобиле, что это реально работает.

Короче, дамы и господа, я готов объявлять Батлерианский Джихад. А мой следующий автомобиль будет как на приложенном видео.

Тупой вопрос. А сделать кнопочку, которая двигает моторчик, никак? А всю «умь» прикрутить к этому переключателю? Ну типа знаете, как есть в умных домах моторчики, которые двигают обычный тупой выключатель, если сказать «Алекса, включи свет», но при этом у вас есть бэкап? Как-то всё это капец несекьюрно.
in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion а у меня примерно поэтому жопа и горит.

А у моторчика там даже входа нет, там шаговый двигатель, со входом на десять обмоток, туда без драйвера подключиться нельзя, а как управлять драйвером знает только микроконтроллер

in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion он.
Но прикол в том, что в производстве вся эта электроника всё равно дешевле самого мотора получается
in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion
Справедливости ради - стеклоподъемник сейчас не просто с кнопочки управляется, но и с мультимедиа, смартфона, а еще и с ключа (закрыл машину - закрыл и окна).

Так что простым присоединением моторчика к питанию уже не обойдешься.

А если все равно городить огород для управления окошком через инет - то не проще ли и кнопку в эту же архитектуру добавить?



I'm chugging through a series of novels that i'm really enjoying, BUT at the same time I have all these little issues with it, and i feel like i want to write a damn book report breaking down all the tiny annoyances and oversights, but if i put that in a review folks would be like "damn. shouldn't read that"

BUT I want people to read this series. It's good. It's just that my brain is digging into all the little details that you don't notice when caught up in the story.

in reply to masukomi

and yet you've not told us what they are, so we can't! :)
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo I know. I recognized the irony as i wrote that, but NOT mentioning the name was intentional.

I think i'm going to finish the trilogy and then reread it before writing a review.

I have a lot of complicated thoughts about it - both good and bad - and I want to try and represent it well when I talk about it.

Side note: I'm afraid the 3rd book is just going to end on a massive cliffhanger and there isn't a 4th.

The Cookie Consent illusion:

Most users want to opt out of being tracked. Yet, many sites boast of high consent rates.

How? Through deceptive design:

- Hiding the "Reject" button, and making "Accept All" prominent
- Auto-accept by scrolling the site, with no obvious option to opt-out
- Pre-selecting tracking options
- Not as easy to withdraw as to consent

As per European laws, consent for cookie usage must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.

When one of the "car accident that wasn't your fault" scammers used to call my house, I told them I was driving a DeLorean and was being chased by guys in a VW campervan. I'm amazed I got as far as telling them I need help finding Dr Brown in 1955 before they hung up.


Anything better than @tweesecake out there? It doesn't even read entire posts now with JAWS if they are long.
in reply to Cleverson

@clv0 One thing I don't like already, is that it sends on enter. So you can't create paragraphs. Unless there is a setting where you can turn that off.
in reply to Cleverson

@clv0 Ah thank you. Would be nice if you could turn that off though, so that enter did it, and there was a specific key to send.

How does one go about begging for money from strangers online to feed your kids? I am out of options. The gig work I was using to keep us alive after being unemployed for 6 months has dried up. We are down to $20. My car will be repossessed soon. I'll lose my house in the spring when I can't pay the taxes. The electricity and water and phone will soon be cut off. I have never had so much trouble getting hired in my entire career. I don't understand it. I'm tremendously talented and have decades of experience, but all anyone wants is LLMs, the one thing I'm not experienced with. I'm worried I might not be alive much longer.

EDIT:

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help, whether it's a dollar or a boost. I don't have a target right now. Just trying to have food for dinner tomorrow. I'll make another post soon if I don't find a way to get some income first.

@hyc I think everything taken together points to that indeed. It's within their rights of course, but I find it rather strange.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

It's ok to deprioritize performance in favor of correctness. Unfortunately they don't seem to care much about correctness either.

We've been working with WolfSSL lately. I think we'll be promoting it more now.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

I think if OpenSSL devs ever faced with a set of alt implementation choices, with say one better for security and code clarity (can overlap, imo) on one hand, versus say perf on the other, they should pick bias to former.

since ssh/sshd is one of the biggest security SPOFs in modern computing. a massive pinata for black hats

so I *hope* thats why their perf is non-ideal

Our refresh release, Endeavour Neo, is available

It was three months ago that our fifth-anniversary release, Endeavour, was released and with the upstream changes, we released this refresh ISO.

I know I mentioned in the Endeavour release announcement that the Endeavour release name would be a one-off release name that wouldn't be followed up by a Neo and Nova release. But we decided to name this

Leasey update available. New in Build 9040.

When Pressing Insert+T to read the window title, if JAWS 2024 is used you will hear the visual state of the window, such as, Maximised.
As usual, press the keystroke twice quickly to virtualise.

Word Quick Navigation Keys. Leasey can remember the state of Quick Navigation on a document by document basis.
Check the documentation for details.

Microsoft CoPilot. JAWS no longer uses Application Mode and instead uses traditional web page navigation. This prevents JAWS from moving into and out of Navigation Mode particularly in lists of items.
In addition, if you move out of CoPilot and back to it, the virtual cursor is located in the correct position on the page.

VLC Media Player. In JAWS 2024, the total and elapsed time scripts are now functioning again.

Emoji. When using the Leasey key then Control+Shift+E, the correct emoji character is once again inserted into the document or text edit area. This was broken in the previous build, 9027.

Outlook Attachments. When using Windows11, and the Leasey file attachments list, copying and pasting into File Explorer should now be working again.

Microsoft Word. The list of recent documents is now functioning.

Interesting with the Insert T thing. JAWS now does it anyway without Leasey, if you press it twice.
in reply to TalkingDroid

@TalkingDroid Ah but that's the point. A lot of people want the title virtualised, and for years, we've had that on Insert+T twice quickly. So a way had to be found to give people that functionality while not spoiling what they are already enjoying. It's like Window-Eyes used to be. That always gave you the window state on Insert+T. Good memories.
in reply to Hartgen Consultancy

@TalkingDroid Although I preferred using JAWS over Window-Eyes, the fact is that Window-Eyes had some really nice features that JAWS never tried to import. One was the ability to move the caret to the next or previous misspelled word or grammatical error and I'm very happy that this capability exists with Leasey.
My other favorite feature in Window-Eyes was cursor keys, which you really can't do with JAWS without scripting.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield David, you can move between misspelled words in JAWS. Simply press M in virtual cursor mode.
in reply to TalkingDroid

@TalkingDroid You're right but the process for moving to misspelled words with JAWS is clunky and requires too many keystrokes. You have to enable the virtual cursor, move to the next incorrect word and you then need to disable the virtual cursor if you then want to make any changes. I never understood why JAWS never implemented keystrokes to move the caret/cursor to the next or previous incorrect item without the need to first enable the virtual cursor. This is something Window-Eyes allowed for and Leasey does this.
in reply to Hartgen Consultancy

wow, all these years and putting the Window State as part of the title call never occurred to me.

Wouldn't want it in the alt+tab order, I'll admit, but it's a clever place to put it for when you need to check.



It appears the Dutch government has decided to greenlight the EU plan to make 'big tech' force-install software on all European phones that will automatically report any questionable photos in your private chat messages to the police. This is not actually about protecting the children. This is about removing the very possibility of private communications.
