If they flicker it's because the designers/engineers did something wrong. It's an entirely DC system, so the only way they would flicker it's if they're using PWM control for the intensity of the lights. There are better ways to dim LEDs, which don't introduce flicker.

With halfway decent power stabilization, and the appropriate about of directionality in the lights, plus the lights being somewhere below the typical sedans window frame, the only time headlights should bother you, is when you're on a hill, regardless if they're LED or not.

IMO, one of two things is very wrong if you're getting blinded by anyone's headlights (highbeams not withstanding): either the designers and engineers that worked on the car are idiots, and placed headlights in a location that was going to blind people, or they used crap optics, etc.... Or, the owner of the car can't be arsed to have their headlights properly adjusted.

Honestly, it's a little of A and a little of B... Depending on the car and the circumstance.

One the person I knew actually had self adjusting headlights, which somehow were damaged and would not adjust properly anymore. They drove around like that for years before retiring the vehicle.

Can't fix stupid.

I agree. And that's problematic. Each company will have different policies, so it's important to know what companies do with your data, at least for the subset of companies that you actually use.

I'm not a trucker, I've just heard the stories.

My understanding, which is limited, is that there are limits on how long truckers can stay on the road before mandatory breaks.

Law, or no law, the management fucks will still fuck around.

Fair enough. Local admin is generally not something that I would want to restrict from people, especially those that are, or at least, should be, more knowledge than most.

I'll fight for that right for people most of the time.

Some users I would say should not have it, but generally developers are not those people. You know the ones.

IDK that I'd be so quick to refer to people who don't have kids as selfish.... Certainly there are selfish people that shouldn't have kids for that reason, but not all people who are willingly childless, are selfish.

I hope you and yours are safe and healthy. Hopefully no fatalities in your family and friend group on the local area.

Take care out there.

I try to be understanding with my software brethren. We're different sides to the whole. Ying and yang, so to speak.

That said, I've gotten some brain-dead requests from you developer types.

I'm not saying all of you are the problem, but there's definitely some of you that need to learn how things work.

As IT/network/security, using a well known port for something that's not what is supposed to run on that port, is inviting all kinds of problems.

Especially the very well known ones, like ftp, ssh, SMTP, http, HTTPS, etc (to name a few). People make it their mission to find and exploit open FTP systems. I opened up FTP on a system once to the internet as kind of a honeypot, and within a week or so, there was someone uploading data to it.

No bueno. Don't use well known ports for things unless the thing that well known port is known for, is what you want to do.

Traitor.

It's pretty inhumane, if I'm being honest.
