At this point, I still have no idea what he's trying to say here.....
I believe it may be a reference to a common item in a stationery shop. Perhaps we should ask if correction fluid would be an acceptable substitute for a rubber?

In the UK (as I suspect is the case elsewhere, though everyone assumes otherwise) a lawyer, yes, has to stand up for their client, but they can't misrepresent what they know. At best they can get away with sophistry or avoid emphasis on things they don't think helps their case, but issues as simple as a client confessing to them cannot be covered up (if you go to a UK lawyer and say "They caught me stealing a priceless Rembrandt, can you get me found not-guilty?" the answer is "Not anymore I can't, find another lawyer and don't mention the fact you were actually stealing")
As I understand it in the United States, past crimes may be covered by attorney client privilege. Part of the job of the an attorney is to ensure that the process is carried out correctly, evidence can be inadmissible if gathered incorrectly. You can admit that you are guilty to your lawyer, some lawyers prefer not to know. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.richardpdavieslaw.com%2Fcriminal-defense-attorney%2Fcan-a-criminal-defense-attorney-ask-you-if-you-are-guilty%2F%23%3A~%3Atext%3DDefending%2520You%2520Regardless%2520of%2520Guilt%2Cjust%2520outcome%2520in%2520your%2520case.
Crimes in the present or future are not covered by privilege, in some cases lawyers are mandatory reporters. Evidence sharing rules could also make it harder for a lawyer to defend a guilty client. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lrwlawfirm.com%2Fwhat-are-the-limits-of-the-attorney-client-privilege%2F
No you don't. Most people with EVs charge them overnight; they don't use public chargers at all on a day to day basis. All people with gasoline cars, on the other hand, fuel them at public fueling stations ("gas stations").
I would change that to most people with gasoline cars fuel at public stations.
You can buy big tanks and have a truck come buy and fill them periodically. I volunteer at a camp and they have a gasoline tank and an offroad diesel tank. We have hand crank pumps on the tanks to dispense. The diesel is for the tractor. Gasoline is used in the Gator, golf carts, and smaller portable tanks for various small engines. I would imagine farmers and ranchers would have similar tanks for their operations. When you start managing a fleet of vehicles the question becomes is it better to have fuel onsite, issue fuel or credit cards, or reimburse employees.
One downside that onsite fuel has compared to electric vehicle charging is EPA reporting when the energy storage and delivery system springs a leak.

Yorkshire. Rossdee was even nice enough to put it in the subject line. I guess the four Yorkshire men were right.

That's great and all, but what if I want to make a phone call while docked?
It is my understanding that Air Pods and Beats are popular device. Other manufacturers also make headsets. I have observed lots of people using Siri to make calls or send SMS. The biggest problem I can see is making a good interface that changes appropriately as different docks are used.
Samsung has a feature that allows a phone to act like a desktop if you plug in a docking station. I played around with the capability one evening, it seemed usable. My problem is that I already have a laptop that I usually carry with me, it is just as easy to grab my laptop as the docking cable that lives in my laptop bag.
That does sound useful... when I am expecting a call from the school or doctor and answer the unknowns I'm invariably very frustrated at the various scams and real estate calls I end up picking up. Looking it up it looks exclusive to Pixel, though, any workarounds for Samsung?
How old is your Samsung? Mine has an AI assistant button when in a call. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fsupport%2Fanswer%2FANS00092302%2F
I would rather have a plumber who completes his plumbing work and then reads/responds to his messages afterwards, than one who keeps stopping in the middle of the job to answer phonecalls.
The problem is that a phonecall requires you to immediately stop what your doing to take the call, which is absolutely not conducive to getting work done. Asynchronous communication is massively better.
How big is the plumbing company you use? If it is just a one man show I can see your concerns having some merit. In my experience the phone number rings to the office where staff does paperwork, triage, and scheduling. The office staff then communicates to the plumbers as needed.
After YouTube noticed I watched a few HVAC and plumbing videos I have started seeing adds for software for the trades. While I haven't clicked on the ads to see more, I get the feeling that it is a CRM/ Ticketing/ quoting/ billing software all in one. I have seen CRM systems that integrate with the call recording system, SMS / MMS, and Email. If that is also setup for the trades, the communications with the customer would all be logged in the service event for the technician to view as needed.
This is the same company that said my NACS adapter should be available sometime in Spring. It's almost fall, still no NACS adapter.
Ok...what is a "NACS" adapter....??
NACS stands for North American Charging Standard, basically what Tesla uses. I believe all if not most manufacturers selling in the North American market have agreed to transition away from J1772 and start using Tesla's design. When the agreement was announced it was stated that after appropriate changes were made, non Tesla vehicles could use Tesla superchargers with an approved adapter.
This is something that seems to be more common. Not just driving slow, but slamming on brakes at random. What is it that in the past few years, slamming brakes at random on a highway is commonplace? Something about new EV AI that does this, as they can't keep a distance, or just poorer drivers?
Have you noticed any correlation between this phenomenon and the rise of adaptive cruise control? My newest vehicle has this feature, I like it but think a few tweaks could improve things. On two lane state routes I have noticed that the car will slow down with the car in front, if that car decides to make a right turn sometimes my car lights up a big brake warning in the cluster and slams on the brake. From my point of view the car is far enough through the turn to be out of the way that we could proceed at the slow speed and not come to a complete stop. In my other cars I would have maintained the speed we slowed to and accelerated once I pass the car that just turned.
When in stop and go traffic as long as nobody is merging the vehicle will slow and speed up with everyone else automatically. If a semi merges out of my lane sometimes it fails to lock onto the car ahead after it stops tracking the truck, when this happens I usually stop the adaptive cruise control instead of seeing how fast I will get before the new vehicle is recognized. I am not sure how to measure such things, but it seems the distance it takes to lose the lock on the vehicle ahead is greater than the distance needed to detect a vehicle.
What do you mean you are not doing backups?!>
What makes you think that I have something to backup? I have an old laptop with 4GB of RAM that I use just for watching YouTube videos and playing the occasional game of solitaire. Windows is somewhat sluggish, in the future I may need to either replace the operating system or the computer itself. To be fair I am logged in to Chrome and YouTube with my Google account and Windows has my Microsoft account. It is useful to be able to pause a video on a device and resume on the laptop, that only requires signing in to YouTube not backing up the computer. OneDrive has my files available, but without an office suite installed viewing and editing them may be difficult. If I setup Linux on it to do a similar role, I would probably sign in to YouTube, but would not transfer any documents or setup a backup system.
I could also see this being annoying at a library. How much stuff needs backed up between users? It may be beneficial to have a system that does an anti backup and removes stuff between users.
Windows 11 strikes again with annoying pop-up that can’t be disabled
The title suggests the popup can't be disabled, when I skimmed the article it seemed like signing up for OneDrive was the only way to avoid the popup. If that is true your solution while backing up the computer might also suggest setting up OneDrive to backup your files. At the moment I see an option to turn off notifications for OneDrive in Windows 11. The article could be slightly exaggerating, it did not have a picture for me to see if they are referring to the usual OneDrive message or something different.
You still have to sit at each computer and manually boot it to the USB drive.
In the past I have setup PXE booting on a network. After booting from the network I was given a prompt. Memtest downloaded and ran memtest, dban downloaded and ran Darik's Boot and Nuke and automatically erased all drives in the system. I would imagine that this tool could be setup to run from a network boot.
In the past I read a bit about Windows Deployment Services, I thought after install if computers were set to PXE boot it would check with the server if it should boot from the hard drive or a network image. If that is true you could possibly do all of this remotely. Would Intel ManageEngine allow a similar process to occur if it was setup ahead of time?
How about academic institutions?
Good idea, I suggest we write to the University of California and suggest they help us and craft an operating system and associated programs we can base our work on. Whatever happened to Xenix? If the University of California, Santa Cruz, could acquire the rights and a form a student organization to manage the codebase. We could look forward to the Santa Cruz Organization version of Unix, or SCO Unix for short.
Here's the thing though: any choice in this arena will almost certainly be in the zone of Normal Accident Theory. Most companies do not have their own fabrication teams, nor programming teams large enough to code entire operating systems plus all of the other software they might need. They're buying computer hardware, premade, from a major vendor. They're running a Windows version of some sort, or maybe some Unix/Linux variant. (Side note: Apple has basically given up even trying for the enterprise systems arena, and MacOS is a forked Unix variant so that Apple can barely-legally steal FreeBSD and NetBSD's code, write their prettified front-end, and never give any code back to the community.) Antivirus / anti-malware and other intrusion detection are likewise purchased services from SOME company. If it's not CrowdStrike, it's one of their competitors.
Would it help if organizations used multiple systems? If they had three Antivirus vendors and only 1/3 of the Windows computers had CrowdStrike, the other 2/3 would not have been affected. For best results you would probably want to make sure an entire department is not running the same combinations, a three person accounting team would have each person using a different antivirus. A brief search revealed CrowdStrike had issues with Debian a few months back, assuming they don't crash at the same time you could have CrowdStrike as an antivirus and differentiate by using different Operating systems. It is my understanding that genetic diversity is useful for populations instead of monocultures when talking with people that have some understanding of biology. Is there any reason the concept wouldn't help if applied to software systems?
About a month ago there were several news reports about CDK Global having issues and car dealers reverting back to paper. I vaguely recall fuel disruptions because of the software used by a pipeline company. Can we create two new esports for disaster recovery? Companies can start with a bare metal system and restore from backup as one competition. Another competition could be reinstalling all of the programs from scratch and importing the data to regain a functioning system. Both would be timed events, possibly bragging about high scores in the quarterly earnings report.
Its anywhere you see a "Stop Here On Red" sign, and the sign is telling you exactly where your vehicle needs to be to trigger the sensor.
I wish more people knew this.
A subset of those signs in my area also have a special light hanging that illuminates once the sensor is triggered. It makes it easy to see that you have stopped at the correct spot.
