Please link to where I said not to use copyleft licenses. Check the usernames carefully.
Note that I don't agree that GPL and MIT are equivalent, or that GPL becomes a non-copyleft open source license if not enforceable. IANAL but it might revert to the regular copyright law for wherever you publish software, not an open source license.
I make an open source, MIT licensed piece of software. I don't accept unsolicited contributions, but I document that people are free to fork the code and provide instructions on how to develop, test and build on your machine.
Search "LTT Windows Modern Standby" on YouTube. Sadly all the workarounds to turn it off no longer work reliably. For reliable sleep, buy a Framework (only current Windows laptop that still supports S3 Sleep) or Macbook.
Oh no, Windows Modern Standby is infamously terrible and unreliable. Here is a youtube video with millions of views explaining the problems in detail: https://youtu.be/OHKKcd3sx2c
I do all my <3 mile trips on a ebike these days unless it's raining/snowing or I need to carry something large. It's great. The lifetime cost of ownership is a little more than my annual running costs for my car.
I'm not sure about this specific use case, but a reason for using cgroupv2 over rlimit is that cgroup allows you to limit the resources of a _group_ of processes, which is handy if, say, your Python script uses the `subprocess` module.
LOL there's barely any regulation of motorcycle safety in the US. ABS brakes aren't even mandated here.
Pretty much the only regulation is the laughably bad DOT helmet standard. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BUyp3HX8cY). Every rider I know who wears a helmet, buys an ECE or Snell helmet instead.
While the majority of motorcycles in the US are recreational, there are many of us who use them as our primary commuter vehicle. Outside of the US, this is much more common, especially in Asia.
The Fortnine video being posted throughout this thread discusses the math- they're 50 times more effective than armor plates and are race-proven in motogp.
For context, the price of a non-airbag motorcycle jacket is typically $150 for a basic one, $250-400 for a good value, and up to $1000 or more for a high end jacket.
Also, the cost of a major motorcycle injury is easily six figures before insurance.
Kind of hard to put an airbag on a bike. Honda tried with the Gold Wing. It only worked to prevent an over-the-bars crash. Didn't help in common lowside and highside crashes. Plus most bikes don't have any room for an airbag anyway, as anyone who's had to work on a cramped modern bike can attest to.
Motorcycle safety gear is almost unregulated in the US. The one regulation (The DOT helmet standard) is an absolute joke.
I can legally ride my Suzuki motorcycle, which has a fully custom exhaust, an ultrabright LED floodlight and zero safety features, wearing no safety gear except eyeglasses in my state. (I built it as a dirt bike juuust legal enough to ride to the trailhead.)
It uses a calibrated tether from the rider to the bike. If the tether detaches, a valve is opened that inflates the vest. The tether is strong enough that it won't activate by accident but weak enough to activate in a get-off crash.
> Not enough time to ask an API if your subscription is valid.
Common misconception. The subscription check is done when you turn the device on, not during a crash.
> KLIM made a mistake here and should have priced the device in such a way to support it for the life of the product. If that means you're buying into a 5 year life after purchase, so be it.
They offer that option. You can buy the vest in one lump sum with no subscription.
