  1. First just give me a USB slot so I can download the update and apply it myself OUT OF BAND. no I will not pay a monthly fee for my car to have internet access, they can go fuck themselves if they think I will be paying for that.

    The problem is Car software engineers really really suck at programming and usability. The Engine guys that got the math down for the engine, steering, and suspension systems? they are decent mathematicians.. But the drooling morons that write the rest......

    USB slot next to the ODB connector, let users do it themselves out of band.

    Here in the USA we are starting to add roundabouts... problem is we are getting a lot of drivers piled up in the middle crying as they dont know what to do.

    Drivers here in the USA are pretty much as stupid as boxes of rocks because our drivers training and licensing system is designed so that even the incompetent can easily get and keep a drivers license.

    Lack of serious products?

    Crestron, AMX, Lutron, Hubbell, Leviton ALL make this stuff that is not based on cheap-ass android tablets and half assed networking without any kind of security in place.

    And all of those companies have been in business longer than you have been alive. There are tons of "properly more engineered solutions" out there and they have been there for decades.

    What can you do? you switch to your backup server.

    That is what professionals do, Why they don't have a backup server really makes me question as to the quality of their techs and engineers.

    Oh and WTF are they doing running their "server" on a desktop OS? Windows server would not have done and auto upgrade like that

    Vast Majority? Are you INSANE?

    The Vast majority have problems. Out of 10 friends and relatives with old machines all 10 had their computers screwed up by the "free" windows 10 upgrade because their 5 year old computers had hardware that does not have drivers for windows 10.

    In fact this is the majority, People having it fail badly. The minority have it work flawlessly or have a 2 year old machine that was running windows 8.1

  18. Hotel Cheaped out. on Hotel Experience With Android Lightswitches (dreamwidth.org) · · Score: 2

    If they used a REAL control system this would not be the issue. but instead they tried to do it as cheap as possible using consumer crap.

    Tablets at the light switches is insanely stupid as well. real automation lighting systems still have physical buttons at entryways and doorways for the lights.

    Whoever sold this system to the hotel needs to be outed and publicly shamed.

    You seem to not know anything about it.

    only 26 states are right to work and California is not. California is actually one of the most worker friendly states as no compete clauses are 100% toilet paper in that state and you do not have to abide by them in any way.

    Your company has ZERO loyalty to you and will fuck you over if it will mean any increased profits.

    If you have even a drop of loyalty to your company you are a fool. But then the american worker is generally too stupid to realize that most are getting fucked on pay to begin with and try to make up excuses for the company that they can't afford to pay honest wages while the CEO gets 8 figures yearly.
