What are the specs and how are you finding the performance?
if they had access to Windows-based software (Blender, Unreal Engine, 3D slicing software, etc.,).
All of those applications that you mentioned run on Linux too. Maybe check if everything you want to use runs on Linux and then you don’t need to sell your students’ souls on their behalf.
Right, but that dongle is connected to the CAN bus directly right? I was wondering what is accessible over just the smartphone integrations (CarPlay and Android Auto).
What car sensors are normally accessible to CarPlay and Android Auto, and what are they used for?
My car doesn’t expose any car features or sensors to CarPlay at all. I just use the connected display for maps and playing audio.
Could you link the RPi projects that you’ve seen? Sounds interesting.
You should probably let RealVNC know, because they don’t seem to have got your memo.

drspod@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Do you actually audit open source projects you download?English2·2 months agoIt depends on the provenance of the code and who (if anyone) is downstream.
A project that’s packaged in multiple distros is more likely to be reliable than a project that only exists on github and provides its own binary builds.

But it seems you are totally missing the point of Taler, as it doesn’t even aim to be anything like so called crypto-“currencies”. It’s a digital payment system like Paypal, but decentralized.
No, I’m not missing that point, I understand the design goals of Taler. You seem to have misinterpreted my comment. I am pointing out that the inability to store Taler currency in a cold wallet is counter to existing user education from similar systems (digital currencies) and therefore will lead to loss of funds of users who don’t understand how Taler works.
From the FAQ:
How to avoid digital cash expiration?
Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, your wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period. However, if your wallet is offline for an extended period of time, it may be unable to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!
You can lose money if the coins in your wallet “expire”.
The fact that this system is shipping v1.0 with such an anti-user design deficiency tells me all I need to know. I wonder how many Taler “beta” users will lose their cash before they fix the design. I wonder how much of the customer support load of the exchanges will be dealing with this issue.
And this comes after a decade of the cryptocurrency industry educating users to store their funds in a cold-wallet to avoid getting hacked, so it’s counter-intuitive to anyone with passing experience of digital currencies. If there’s one thing that we learnt from the cryptocurrecy industry, it’s that users don’t care to understand how the technology works, and will do stupid things. Anything that seeks wide adoption needs to be designed for non-technical people.
What a terrible design decision.
I thought this was going to be a new article or news, but it’s from April 9, 2024.
I think this situation has been picked over and rehashed now to the point where anyone who was going to change their behaviour will have already done so. If there is no update on the situation then all I see is you dragging up drama from a year ago.

Good luck alt-tabbing to the one you want.
This is what workspaces are for.
That’s it, I’m calling the police.

Only after they meet the requirements to be moved from unstable.

There is some advice on that page about how to deal with security updates for testing and I’m wondering how people who use testing take that advice, and what changes they make to get security updates. Or maybe you don’t bother. That’s what I mean.
