  1. It’s not that we haven’t a clue about **connected** cars. We’ve been connected ever since we’ve had radios in them, and that’s going back a while. But in current models, all vehicles seem to be connected in ways that make them highly *intrusive* and potentially very *dangerous*. And we’ve known this for some time already:

    “In Australia, there’s no blanket ban on Chinese marques by Defence, but ASIO has warned ministers and public servants not to have sensitive conversations in their cars or connect work devices. But there’s nothing to stop them owning a Chinese EV.

    Trade Minister Don Farrell has a BYD Shark 6, the same vehicle that Hreszczuk hacked. [He] recently told a newspaper it’s the “best ute I’ve ever owned”. ASIO’s surveillance fears appear well founded, based on what else Hreszczuk is able to do to with the Shark even at a low level of access.”

    This article, based on a 4Corners investigation, clearly identifies the problems and potential horrors that these new cars with their *connectivity* have introduced on our roads, in our garages and work places. I’m rethinking any possibility of downgrading my fuelguzzler for a *green* EV. **I want a manual OFF switch in my EV** before I do that.

    Yet our govt(s) is idly standing by watching it all happen without a hint of tighter regulations or any legislative activity whatsoever. *More and more we do not own outright the things we purchase*. This is an outrage and must be stopped with legislation. This madness cannot be allowed to go on unchecked.

  6. Someone whom I follow on here mentioned that they had written an (open source) Chromium-based browser, implementing a "10 foot UI" (i.e. controlled by video/TV/HTPC remote control).

    This might solve a problem for me. So I'd like to find it again (or at least some such implementation).

    It IS possible that the person doesn't follow me, so boosts may help. Anyway, pointers appreciated.

  10. Artificial Intelligence: amiagent 0.5.3 - remotely control a real Amiga via MCP

    Thomas Lübker writes: "'amimcp' connects a real Amiga to an MCP server on a Mac or PC. An AI assistant can use it to work directly on the hardware: execute AmigaDOS commands, read and write files, capture the screen, and send mouse and keyboard inputs.

  14. My #mediaCenter #TV's soundbar keeps going into sleep mode, and the #dog ate the #remoteControl so it's an annoyance to pause a film, chat a bit, and then have to get up to switch it back on again. (Oh, and it's not an #IrDA remote so it's a drag to emulate or replace.)

    So I wrote a little program to make a periodic almost-inaudible sound to trick the soundbar into staying "awake".

    And that's the story of how a hacky engineer turns a hardware problem into a #software problem.
