It happened to me quite a few times before I realised what was going on. You click the time and then click "go". It takes less than a second.

If he felt that his life was in danger from a car, shooting at it wouldn't reduce the danger. The only thing a pedestrian armed with a pistol can do to avoid getting run over by a car within short range is to get out of its way.

Just checked the Wikipedia article about the FOP. They look like a pretty nasty bunch.

There's no such thing as a "defensive shot" at a moving vehicle. Your bullet isn't going to stop a car. All it does is to change a guided vehicle into an unguided vehicle.

That's why US law enforcement agencies have policies that one should only shoot at someone in a moving vehicle if they would be an imminent danger to others if allowed to flee.

Xiaomi's timer app tries to be cool and fails at functionality. (lemmy.world)
 

If you open the timer app on a Xiaomi phone, you can click on a recent time to set the timer. Here I click on "19:00" and get 13 minutes. Why? Because if you click "go" before their gee-whiz animation is finished, you get whatever time happened to be on the dial at the time you pressed the button. Like, all they had to do was just have the button set the timer. And God forbid you just want to type a number. Nope. You have to spin a dial. It's literally easier to do this right, but they chose to make it suck because it has to look cool.

When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I'm about to replace a once year old phone because I can't flash the ROM, and I hate Xiaomi's native apps and don't trust them anymore.

My previous phone was a Xiaomi on which I installed LineageOS. I was very happy with it, but my GF's son had a very very old phone, so I changed it after only 3 years and replaced it with another Xiaomi. I'm deeply unhappy this time because they've made it practically impossible to unlock the bootloader without using dodgy unverified tools. It's only a year old and now I'm replacing it with a second hand Pixel.

Before the first Xiaomi, I had a OnePlus that I kept for six years.

Absolute immunity you say?

Sounds like the brownshirts get a blank cheque to do whatever they want. Maybe they can start smashing shop windows and kicking protestors on the ground now.

There are multiple manuals and trainings that say that officers should not shoot into moving vehicles, and that that won't stop you from getting run over.

If you're trying to get home safely to your spouse and children, get out of the way. Shooting at it makes you less likely to get home safely.

Wir haben das als Weihnachtsgeschenk gekauft (war ungefähr die 35€ wert die es kostete), aber wenn es ein Elektronenmikroskop wäre, wäre das echt der Knaller!
