“asked”?

This is a ploy. Cuellar publicly snubs Trump to appeal to anti-Trump voters and drag votes away from other, better candidates.

Help me, stepsister…

so much pain

well… fuck.

Birdwatching is dull.

Not that there’s anything wrong with a little dullness. If watching tiny reptiles go bob’ bob’ bob’in along helps you relax, that’s cool.

Can you imagine the fallout if Obama had done anything like this?

Trained on a corpus of messages written primarily by the people who spend the most time using the Internet to talk to their friends… teenagers.

Imagine dumping the entire content of Snap, Instagram, Kik, Facebook messenger, etc, into a blender and attempting to derive a style of speech from it. The most impressive thing about these LLMs is that they’re (marginally) coherent.

People like you discouraged votes for Harris, and handed Trump his second term.

I have experience managing multiple network systems with user-facing endpoints. That’s irrelevant.

Nothing critical on a passenger-carrying vehicle should be remotely managed and it definitely should be frozen while the bus is in active service. The last thing a crowded bus in motion needs is the lights randomly going out because someone decided it was time for a patch install.

The right choice from a security and safety perspective is for any wireless interfaces on the vehicle to be read-only - they can send data out (like current location). Pushing software changes should require direct physical access, and should only work if the vehicle is parked. Anything else is a stupid unnecessary risk.

The simplest solution is to just restrict software updates to direct physical access, and put the USB port or whatever behind a locked service panel.

If the software can’t be infiltrated remotely, then there won’t be any security issues that are so urgent they need to be patched in the middle of a shift, they can wait for a maintenance stop.

Location tracking, diagnostics, statistics, security. Etc. it’s not a bad idea… for a bus.

There’s no good reason for any of that to be updated while the bus is on the road. It should be done at a service location.
