  • The design of the car heavily influences driver behavior

    One part of the design is the “one touchscreen for everything” - which causes accidents by needless distraction for basic tasks. Our last car also fell victim to this - totaled after a Tesla driver crashed into its side due to doing stuff on the screen instead of looking to the road. I don’t quite understand how those things are still considered road legal in the EU, and still hope we’ll eventually get rules prohibiting this kind of UI, and forcing retrofit of existing cars or banning them from driving.




  • Some years age when I was still using some more google stuff (like an account for calling out from my PBX) I had each service assigned to its own google account to limit the impact of google doing something crazy to an account.

    Apart from playstore youtube red is now the only service left - and that’s about to go as they now made it too expensive, especially taking into account that they enshittified it so much that we’ve blocked it on the TV, and “adfree on TV” was the main use case there…
