    Three countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are disconnecting from Russia literally in 2 weeks for that specific reason, so it's an horrible idea to interconnect everything in t…

    Google doesn't want the leeches, they throttle the buyers who don't win enough, and Google was forced by the law to make lot of privacy improvements. For example, before the GDPR y…

    I needed some Chromium devs for a project so I contacted a few of the active maintainers on different platforms. Eventually had to give up: "sorry no I'm living in China, too compl…

    Assign one safety driver per vehicle, the remote safety driver is responsible (like a driving instructor and its driving student, except the AI is the student). This way, the inter…
