Don't do this.

Downloading an exe from some random place is a huge red flag.

Windows lets you pause updates.

Might download some of these on an analysis workstation and run them through virus total and sandboxes. This could be fun.

I know businesses like to skip on spending money for upgrades, but still using 2010 is pretty far out. These just mom and pops that have no idea, or these just businesses that don't care?

I part of why I posted this was awareness, and partly because it frustrates me.

I don't know how you feel about traffic enforcement, but this is one of my least favorite ways law enforcement 'serves us'. At the same time, I also recognize that there's probably enough stories that justify it. If you or your family member were almost killed by some clown driving crazy on the interstate, you might be all for drivers getting stopped for 25 over speed limit.

So, most of me supports law and order, but I am also super irritated that the speed limit of 465 is so low. I feel like they want everyone to speed and get tickets. This isn't a very mature attitude, but I cannot find any proper documentation to justify the super low speeds. Did you see the speed stats Copilot cited from one of those sources? Literally everyone goes faster on the beltway, and my opinion is that's because 55 is too slow. I know the sayings 'speed kills' and stuff about faster moving cars don't alleviate congestion, I still don't think 55 is right.

There's some pretty terrible design flaws of the beltway, like the transition from the Northside to the Northwest side (865 split) which constrains traffic and is backed up for a mile+ most days.

Am I the only one who's frustrated about a lack of mobility, on top of the majority of the central population not being served by public transportation? It's not like you can park at a metro stop in one of the suburbs and take a train into anything inside the beltway. Even if you took the bus, it would be an hour+ right?

I guess since this is based on a state law, the population would have to press their legislative reps to change the law. I can't imagine there's any realistic fix for all the suburban commuter traffic that still has to drive in/out of the beltway area and downtown. Good thing all the corps are continuing to push RTO to keep that boot on our necks...

I spent Wednesday tracking down what was transferring too much data. It was domain controllers. The team didn't figure out why though. I'm waiting in anticipation. I also can't call people names without knowing/JK

This isn't necessarily the case anymore. They realized they could charge more money after all this parts pairing and proprietary stuff started.

Dealerships can make more money from repairs than selling. Especially if sales margin is lower due to online competitors selling cars cheaper.

This bill attacks one of the things preventing cheaper repairs and shops from helping .

Seems like meta views fediverse as a threat to monopoly.

I also wouldn't say fediverse needs to embrace meta. It can continue being what is wants and meta has to account for it. Fediverse doesn't have to be mainstream. Aside from Dev support, it's probably better to stay niche.

I'm guessing by the down votes this is better in a community for more specific IT, like sysadmin or homelab.

Also, the download link and password protection is a huge red flag.

Agreed.

Lemmy, you are biased. You probably don't intend to be, but it's true for now.

Going to sound weird, but I came here because of who I knew the vocal people were. I didn't understand many of their view points and reasons for being mad/hateful/etc. I am much more enlightened now and learn different perspectives everyday.

It is a giant echo chamber though if you are already very rooted in the spectrum here, and voicing decent usually leads to dog pile.

This is related to attitudes about news, politics, etc.

Yeah, oddly near by lights are the enemy of circles. Circles work well IMO when the traffic spaces out. Lights just make angry mobs, then they all hit the circle at once.

Even in Carmel, someone occasionally ignores the paint on the ground, and the sign, and tries to side swipe. I am always super aware of people in intersections.

It used to take 45-55 minutes to drive through Carmel on keystone or meridian from 465 to 146. Now it takes 8 minutes!

You have information? My lazy search said Edgar Hooker, Englishman. I'm a bit curious now.

I watched that. Didn't surprise me one bit.

The overreaching government apparatus doesn't inherently bother me, but we're really placing a lot of power and trust in those people, and that does concern me.

Ha, youi right about people going too fast in then. I see a soccer mom van going under the speed limit until they get into a roundabout, then it's Tokyo drift time. I'm usually unlucky and following them out just to return to painfully under the speed limit again. I'm the opposite. Faster on straight where no pedestrian and slow in circles. Slower in circles means people can merge in better and with more confidence like you mentioned.

I think the land scraping serves two purposes, stop a run through, and it visually blocks traffic since you've only supposed to be concerned about traffic to the immediate left I think.
