Just like modern cars... I wish there was some kind legislation that would limit phone-home telemetry to emergency service telecommunication frequencies, and be opt-in only. That way any OEM operating under commercial cellular frequencies would thus be unlicensed, and subject to FCC violations and import bans. Like what OnStar was originally pitched as; only auto dialing to 911, and 911 only, if you were unresponsive after airbags deployed. OEM couldn't use the telecommunication frequencies for anything other than networking with emergency service endpoints on the same VLAN.

Anything recorded by the vehicle would be required to stay on the vehicle due privacy regulations, like the black box recorder for warranted forensic investigations. OTA updates could also be distributed offline for users to download and flash via USB, like any motherboard bios, so transactions would be write only.

Before your comment, I thought I recognized this person, but could remember from where. Then your hint referencing TwoSetViolin helped me recall this is Hilary Hahn. Haven't seen that channel in while, hope she still does those fun informal guest appearances.

Are the two Linux devices on the same IP subnet?
Are any of the other KDE connect features working?

I would also guess the smaller range of hardware revisions is easier to keep track of when considering something as device specific as microphone frequency response curves or approximate intrinsic camera calibration values, thus simplifying the post-processing or data ingestion from an aggregate deployment of recording equipment.

While Android devices are probably significantly cheaper, they'd vary quite a bit in terms of microphone, camera, and lens manufacturers, not to mention ADCs, gain to noise ratios and cheapest firmware, depending on what the OEM felt like swapping to for that minor product revision.

Not sure how precise these researchers are trying to calibrate and rectify field measurements, but if they're using internal phone sensors rather then external AV peripherals, then homogeneity across field computers would simply matters of data uniformity.

Segway buggies? Sounds like a great way to exacerbate the issue of runaway baby carriages. When they tip beyond the point of no return, they'll just yeet themselves off into the road.

Any open source designs for these?
I'd be curious about the joint fabrication.

That's just what I supposed the parent comment was referring to by missing an apparent joke as a kid.
Thus my uncertain question mark. I suppose the OP could clarify their personal revelation.

I agree in doubting that Gary had any intention for such an interpretation, simply depicting classic absurdity instead.

However, anatomical and impossibilities aside, you can't say that sexual slang is well known for it's grounded realism.
Eating or choking on pussy isn't exactly an uncommon euphemism, especially those who love to boast about their face-sitting escapades.

Choking on pussy?

Although I feel like The Far Side has always leaned more into pure absurdity rather than play at subtle innuendos. Does anyone know of other possible examples of the latter?

Are there hypothesis about the evolutionary pressures in the divergence of Iris colors between owl species? Does it have to do with social or mating displays, or is it more about the climate and nocturnal vs diurnal vs crepuscular hunting patterns?

But why did he give the bird of prey more than three front talons? It interferes with suspension of disbelief in this fictional horror. /s

Oh, nice tip! Any good way of emulating that on a mobile Android keyboard? Or do you just copy and paste a lot? Perhaps this could be done with a custom autocorrect dictionary injury?
