The young lad from up North (I think he might be from #Yorkshire ) warns about fake #AI #videos about #oldtimers (and other fake stuff)
It won't fool my generation, nor this lad who is genuinely into old #British motors but this stuff is becoming rampant (it particularly seems to target old #BritishLeyland #cars (presumably as #SAIC isn't going to set lawyers on them, but it means real folk with their classics are having their content stolen to make this bullshit..)
At least #WeirdCarMastodon remains trustworthy..

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@mhoye/116686742908478264
This may not be widely known unless you take an interest in #cars /and/ collect ancient books about #oldtimers - but in early 20th century there *were* cars with brake and accelerator positions swapped round - for stick shift clutch was always on the only due to the physical location of the engine but the locations of various gears also varied wildly (whereas today its generally only reverse which may be in different location).
I'm not sure if UN traffic safety guidelines mandate order of brake and accelerator pedals which I believe standardised around 1930s/1940s , but any automaker diverting from this would be *extremely* unpopular and become a pariah.
And yet, as @mhoye points out, this is tolerated in computer software UI (and now even in non-safety critical parts of vehicles)

Got an old #Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 #tablet I was gifted by a relative a few years back (he upgraded to a newer one).
I use it mostly to read #PDF documents of scanned #books about #oldtimers , #mechanic work and #electronics (so these are quite big PDF files).
Normal #AdobeReader is laggy on this old device, and I don't need the #AI bullshit bundled with it.
Can anyone suggest a better PDF reader for Android with 0 ads, decent privacy and good performance?

This was on some FB group about British #oldtimers (although anyone who has worked on #cars might get the joke ๐ )

Quelques vues d'Arlon
Arlon est le chef-lieu de la province de Luxembourg ร l'extrรชme sud de la province ร quelques kilomรจtres seulement de la frontiรจre avec le Grand-Duchรฉ de Luxembourg et ร une vingtaine de kilomรจtres de Longwy en France.
Quelques impressions de ce jour oรน le brouillard givrant donnait un aspect particulier aux arbres.

En outre, au dรฉtour de mon chemin, j'ai dรฉcouvert une antique Renault 4 dรฉcorรฉe aux couleurs de la Belgique, une belle rรฉalisation! On remarquera que le logo de la marque a fait place ร ... Mannekenpis!

Door een grote brand in een loods in Franeker zijn zeventien oldtimers en een boot verwoest. De brand brak gisteren in de loop van de avond uit en is aan het begin van de nacht nog niet geblust.

De Belgische acteur Tom Waes reed afgelopen weekend met zijn 40-jaar oude Porsche in op een pijlwagen. De auto waarin hij reed, had geen airbags. En dat maakt de bestuurder van een oldtimer extra kwetsbaar.

A #cat photobombed the 1930s picture of this village #garage in #Wiltshire #England (they are still just about operating today but only work on #oldtimers - their younger #mechanics all left the area and they weren't been able to recruit any more). You certainly wouldn't be able to stand in the middle of the high street taking photos today, you would probably get honked at for holding up traffic..
