    The government isn’t saying where the Omed brothers are being held, only that they were arrested in March 2024 and have been in custody since.

    Not spooky at all...

    If extradited to the United States,

    So... Sudan? Unlikely?

    Bring it on I say.

    As long as regulation stays in place. Or, better, add even harder regulation (for from security standpoints as well as fiscal) to ensure these fuckers are forced to be actively responsible for the safety and give them no way to back off and abandon a plant.

    Let them donate excess power to the grid as well. Eh, fund housing nearby for the homeless.

    Greetings, non-native and curious here. I know a transport manifest is the document that lists contents being transported: items, quantities, etc... often used in long-haul trucks. Are there other documents like this? Invoiceable? If i own a small business and go buy, say, a laptop at another business (requiring such a document since it's a B2B transaction and the item will be carried in a company vehicle), is it still a "transport manifest" or does it have another name?

    Best places to buy batteries?

    I'm looking to replace the battery of a ThinkPad T410 (and maybe of a T480 as well but i haven't tested them yet). What are the recommended places to get them in the EU? I've already found [ifixit](https://eustore.ifixit.com/products/lenovo-thinkpad-p51s-p52s-t470-t480-t570-t580-and-tp25-replacement-battery) for the T480 but i'm more focused on the T410 atm.

    I have a 2nd-gen chromecast, it's factory reset. If i plug it in all it tells me is to install the app to start configuring. I don't have a google account not do i want to install/use google-related stuff on my phone. My home router doesn't register any new device, which makes sense since the cast doesn't know the SSID/pass of the WiFi. Does it try to ping some service/port? Multicast perhaps? Where would it get an IP from without authenticating? My (wired) PC runs gentoo. How can i get it to work in these conditions? -------- Well it's not a network client, it presents its own WiFi network. Got a laptop with a live distro to connect to it and run [this script](https://gist.github.com/interfect/5f68381d55658d334e2bc4619d796476) to configure it. Seemed to work, apparently. Then tried a bunch of clients: - VLC will just eternally remain in scanning mode - [go-chromecast](https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast) kept throwing errors even with host/port parameters - chrome wouldn't find the device (with the laptop connected to the hotspot) My guess is it needs to phone home to finish setup (the script has wifi name/pass parameters though) or i borked something. Not gonan waste more time on it, i'll just gift it.

    https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-in-vehicle-advertising-patent/

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19576214 > >Imagine your car playing you an ad based on your destination, vehicle information—and listening to your conversations. > > >Ford has patented a system that, per the filing, would use several different sources of information to customize ad content to play in your car. One such information stream that this hypothetical system would use to determine what sort of ads to serve could be could be the voice commands you’ve given to the car. It could also identify your voice and recognize you and your ad preferences, and those of your passengers. Finally, it could listen to your conversations and determine if it’s better to serve you a visual ad while you’re talking, or an audio ad when there’s a lull in the conversation. > > >If the system described in the patent knew that you were headed to the mall on the freeway based on destination information from the nav system and vehicle speed, it could consider how many ads to serve in the time you’ll be in the car, and whether to serve them on a screen or based through the audio system. If you respond more positively to audio ads, it might serve you more of those—how does every five minutes sound? > > >But what if the weather’s bad, traffic is heavy, and you’re chatting away with your passenger? Ford describes the system using the external sensors to perceive traffic levels and weather, and the internal microphone to understand conversational cadence, to “regulate the number (and relevance) of ads shown” to the occupants. Using the GPS, if it knows you’ve parked near a store, it might serve you ads relevant to that retail location. Got passengers? Maybe you get an audio ad, and they get a visual one. > > >Given how consumers feel about advertising and in-car privacy, it is difficult to imagine an implementation of this system that wouldn’t generate blowback. But again, the patent isn’t describing some imminent implementation; it just protects Ford’s IP that describes a possible system. That said, with the encroachment of subscription-based features, perhaps it’s only a matter of time before you’re accepting a $20/month discount to let your new Ford play you ads on your commute.
