Read all four books. I have read the series now. Perhaps 3x in the last 25 or so years since I discovered it.

The Fall of Hyperion is 100% a recommendation. The Endymion books are somewhat controversial. But I love them.

The nature of these posts is that by default the 4 posts are filled by reps from the 4 largest parties in the EP.

So there’s a conservative, a. Social democrat, a liberal etc.

Photographers are it an obvious term to search for on maps. “Photo studios” sure. But event/wedding photographers are a google search not a maps search.

Not OP but my guess would be moderation tools.

Looks up social control theory. It basically argues that we all are well behaved because we worry about the social consequences of our bad actions. You remove social control. The moral behaviours goes out the window. It’s pretty well supported framework for understanding human behaviour.

Do not worry Vestager lives for shit like this. She’ll make them bend over, take it deep, and pay her for her pleasure.

You’re close to the point but missed the elephant. The valuable thing we’re fighting over in this case is all the data collected by the cars.

Automakers lose some access when it’s Apple or Google serving the infotainment. Apple and Google also get access to this data for free.

Driver monitoring is a requirement. Not necessarily camera. Ford uses IR sensors inspired by the iPhone FaceID.

I think that is why Ford’s Blue Cruise that uses IR sensors like iPhone’s Face ID You s the better way to go.

But ultimately al L this tech can be misused. And will be misused.

[EU] How many months savings do you consider enough? (lemmy.world)

As the title says I am trying to see where people stand on this. Obviously this is all personal preference. But that is what I am after.

After depleting our savings when buying our apartment 2 years ago, we’re about to cross 6 months liquid savings in just plain old savings account with ability to immediately withdraw money.

(To clarify that is 6 month assuming 0 income, which is very unlikely given the social system of our country - so realistically we have even more in savings.)

As you can imagine, the interest in this account is not great, so I want to set a limit as to when we stop dumping every spare penny into the savings account and begin doing other things (likely try to invest).

My Synology is on LAN but not connected to internet (lemmy.world)
 

I am a bit at a loss what to do next.

2 days ago I got some notifications that Synology could not reach my box. When home I began checking and in fact most things could not find the box. (though fascinatingly SMB could access the box - Lightroom was happily seeing its files on the NAS).

Then I used Synology assistant and found the box (with a new ip ..ugh). But even when I connected the box is not connecting to the internet. I can access it via WIFI on my LAN .. I see the router sees the box, but I cannot connect to the internet.

(I attempted restoring network settings from backup, I rebooted router and box .. no change)

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Is there any good guide how to re-set and set up network settings and external access ?

If I need to restore to factory settings what is the best way to get back up ad running after? and not lose my data?
