Gonna be a bad fire season this year. We're due for one.

Don't worry too much about getting 'locked in' to a job, you can always do a career change, it's a lot easier than you think.

We also use way more than just our eyes to navigate. We have accelerometers (ear canals), pressure sensors (touch), Doppler sensors (ears) to augment how we get around. It was a fools errand to try and figure everything out just with cameras.

Tale as old as time.

Engineers: "This is possible but we will need to equip every car with an expensive sensor suite"

Management: "So you're saying we can just remove the sensors and figure it out with your engineering magic, you guys are really good at that, you got my iPhone connected to ICloud so you must be reeeally good with technology."

Engineers: "..."

Management: "Also, anyone not up to this task is fired."

Won't SOMEBODY PLEASE think of the children!!!

I'm so fucking sick of people using 'protecting vulnerable people' as a front for them being shitty. It's so obvious that they don't actually give a shit about them.

I have an old Viera 50 inch Plasma, it chews like 240W while running but has not skipped a beat in the 13 years we've had it
