Well, anything unpopular that doesn't use any software (even low-level software) that is also commonly used in popular environments. For example, game consoles, embedded devices or car entertainment systems often use outdated versions of popular browser engines. So to hack these, you don't need to be a highly skilled hacker, you just need to be able to try some older vulnerabilities.

And there are enough malicious websites that will just automatically check for these vulnerabilities. And then it's enough to accidentally open one of these malicious websites and even though nobody wrote the hack specifically for your car, you might catch some malware regardless.

Everyone has their irrational topics where it's hard or impossible to be reasoned with. The issue is that it's really hard to spot that with yourself, because in one's mind it all sounds reasonable.

Many firm beliefs that everyone of us holds are not nearly as much backed by science than we actually believe.

Es kommt sehr drauf an, ist meine Meinung. Du hast Recht, dass es selten ist, dass man Malware-Hersteller/Verwender erwischt. Aber wenn man mal einen erwischt, dann will man eine Handhabe gegen den haben. Es geht hier nicht darum das Verhalten der Bevölkerung zu ändern.

Die Helmpflicht hat hier eher was mit dem Hupverbot oder dem Handyverbot am Steuer oder dem verpflichtendem Einhalten von Höchstgeschwindigkeiten und Sicherheitsabständen zu tun. Man möchte damit (zurecht) die Bevölkerung zu sichereren Verhaltensweisen drängen.

Viele Leute befolgen sowas aber nur deswegen, weil sie Angst vor einer Strafe haben. Sie denken ja, dass Unfälle nur Anderen passieren, also brauchen sie sich ja nicht aus Sicherheitsgründen an die Regeln halten.

Deswegen funktionieren da nur die Regeln, die tatsächlich gestraft werden.

Gurtpflicht und Höchstgeschwindigkeiten funktionieren meist zumindest so halbwegs. Hup- und Handyverbot werden nicht gestraft also halten sich die meisten nicht dran.

Helmpflicht finde ich da eher auf der schwierigen Seite, insbesondere weil ein schlecht eingestellter Helm wirklich gar nichts bringt. Fährt man mit lockeren Bändern ist der weg vom Kopf bevor man aufschlägt.

Vergleiche das mit der Anzahl der Menschen, die während Corona die Masken falsch getragen haben (raushängende Nase, abgeschnittene Bänder, damit man die Maske hochklappen kann, uralte, dreckige Masken, Maske gleich ganz am Kinn), dann kannst dir ungefähr ausmalen, was eine Helmpflicht mit Strafen bringt. Und ohne Strafen/Kontrollen wird sich durch die Helmpflicht genau gar nichts ändern, außer dass man von echten Verbesserungen gekonnt ablenkt damit.

Das eventuell ein Infrastruktur-Problem vorliegt, wird gänzlich ignoriert.

Bzw., wenn man z.B. nach Berlin schaut, aktiv blockiert.

That puts your original comment into perspective.

I don't think there is an argument that could convince someone who wears their gun like it's a religion. They see that as part of their identity, and you can't change that with simple logic.

The toddlers need gun training. If every toddler had a gun, stuff like this wouldn't happen.

I never said that Temple OS is usable ;)

I mostly use solid basic shapes (like e.g. a cylinder) which I modify using extrude or moving edges/vertices and then combine using the boolean modifier, which can do union, difference and intersection.

Sometimes you have to switch to carve in the modifier to get it to work correctly.

The important thing is to only work with watertight objects. So for your hollow cylinder example I'd do the following:

  • Create a cylinder with the desired outer radius and height.
  • Create a taller cylinder with the radius of hole.
  • Move both onto the same location. The taller cylinder should stick out on bottom and top
  • Select the outer cylinder -> modifiers -> add modifier boolean -> difference to inner cylinder
  • Select the outer cylinder and export it with the option "Export only selection"

It was, 25 years ago. Same as Windows' security was absent at that time.

But people never update their prejudices, so all the jokes are from the last millenium.

If you want an OS that is really malware-free, you need to run temple os.

Because he put in the same comment, that high street and highway are called that way because they where elevated over the other streets, which is nonsense.

In fact, high street/highway are that way, because in Old English high didn't only denote elevation, but also a high status/rank/importance.

Modern English still uses that meaning, but it's rarer nowadays. For example, high society, high sheriff or high priest aren't called that because they are tall.

High is also used with a lot of words where elevation doesn't matter: high rank, high value and so on.

I keep getting asked if I'd sell these. But becoming a software engineer by trade has already ruined hobby programming for me, so I will not ever make that hobby into a job.

The term high in highway has nothing to do with elevation, but has the same meaning as in "high government official", "high society" or "high priest".

None of them are named so, because they are especially tall, but because they are of elevated status. Same as the highway or high street.
