quote:Mazda is looking to add more simple, tactile controls into the cars. A quick tilt of the volume knob to the right or left goes forward or back single tracks—or holding it left or right fast-forwards it. A tap of the button mutes the system, and holding it down quickly turns off the screen and everything if it’s currently a distraction. what a great idea i can't believe nobody thought of putting "tactile controls you don't have to look at" in cars before, elong should get on this new technology

you'll never get cuphead running on that Mazda, the best you can hope for is some interactive fiction/twine stuff.

Krankenstyle posted:actually thats called CYA it's absolutely not. it means that you get endlessly deposed and that it's only your dumb emails that the plaintiffs get to pour over and then get put into lawsuits and it turns out that every bit of wrongdoing (that they can prove) somehow involves you. if you have some CYA email by all means save that email. having seen someone who endured being center stage in a decade of litigation whose only fault was a single poorly-written email (and, the converse, someone who got caught doing something because they wrote it down in an email when everyone else was smart enough to use the phone), the less of your emails that exist, the better. i guarantee you that you've said tremendously dumb things in your email. your email is not exculpatory, it's incriminating. plaintiffs get to look through it all and cherry-pick the stuff that doesn't look good. the best legal advice anyone who might ever get sued can get is to just plain stop using email or anything else that's logged by default.

i should also mention the final corollary to "don't save email you idiot" is the people i've seen skate scott-free because they didn't use email at all and so there was no paper trail to incriminate them

infernal machines posted:pasty suburban dads? the venn diagram of them and yosposters is two concentric circles Xaris posted:why not just say 'we are not liable for anything' 2) Unenforceable provisions can be ignored if they are reasonably  able from other provisions, meaning that other provisions and the contract as a whole aren't so intertwined with it that it is a hardship or impossible to enforce them without it.An example of this being 2007ish, when some dude skated on a tax evasion charge because the indictment did not adequately separate the tax evasion from the defendants failure to file tax returns–during a period in which the OMB control numbers in use by the IRS were expired, which serves as an ultimate and final defense according to the Clinton-era Paperwork Reduction Act. He still had to pay what he owed, but still. Someone mentioned the $1 lifetime of manservitude, but that is also shaky on the grounds of unconscionability and imbalance of consideration. A good object lesson on the importance of wording in contracts is the Coronation Cases. The broad strokes of that is that the coronation of Edward VII and there was a surge in lawsuits from spectators who weren't able to secure a refund from those they had rented rooms or balconies to watch the procession Those suits that lost had one major thing in common. Can you deduce what that thing was? At any rate, all of this is purely academic because, as anyone with more than passing familiarity with the practice of law knows, court cases are decided by a series of blowjobs.

There is a spectre looming over AdTech, and its name is GDPR: https://ico.org.uk/media/about-the-ico/documents/2615156/adtech-real-time-bidding-report-201906.pdf This is from what I understand to be a rather lax british privacy authority, so it's not looking well for later other European agencies going over the same stuff. In short, they are not happy at all and consider the whole RTB industry to be breaking basically everything in the GDPR. They expect the rest of adtech to have the same problems, but they target RTB first because they are the most obvious bad case. They also consider that the industry cannot correct itself and they will need to intervene with a heavy hand. Cherrypicked bits: quote:This means that the current consent requests provided under both the TCF and AB frameworks are non-compliant. Consent mechanisms must be appropriate for the processing of special category data. Market participants must therefore modify existing consent mechanisms to collect explicit consent, or they should not process this data at all. if I read that right it’s like “these folks don’t understand the requirements, and even if they did, it wouldn’t be good enough” If there's one techbubble bursting thing, it's ads going awry. Can't imagine both Google and Facebook struggling and the rest of the industry going on like everything's fine. MononcQc fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jun 21, 2019 |

car displays should all be fully operable with buttons and dials and such, but also have touchscreen support for navigating the same display when you're in a location that it's safe to do so in, imo
