Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you’re the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

Had been like that for years.

Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn’t ending anytime soon.

Didn’t care that I’d had a TL cover for me as we’d always done.

Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.

Were you on EI still when you found the job?

That’d be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.

Makes sense about NCAP ya. It’ll get tested eventually we’ll just have to wait.

You seem nice

It comes and goes.

Have you seen this crash yet where all 4 participants survived?

It’s trashed, but you can see it got wrecked up to the passenger compartment on the front, and the rear is missing all the way into the back wheels.

Neither of those distances is insignificant for a crumple area. That thing had to be flipping and they absorbed that energy.

It’s not that Tesla didn’t choose to have it tested, the agencies haven’t wanted to test it yet.

They don’t test every vehicle and they don’t always test what they think will be low volume vehicles.

Teala could sponsor it, but it’s not like every manufacturer sponsors a vehicle that the testing agencies decide not to test.

For example, I don’t believe the model 3 highland has been tested again after all the changes, and if it has, not all the testing agencies yet.

But… it does have crumple zones.

The entire front and rear castings are designed to shatter in a high energy collision and crumple.

The size of a crumple zone isn’t as important as how it absorbs the energy and dispenses it.

You could have a 20foot crumple zone that’s empty and it’s be useless.

You can see it crumpled here. They’ve also posted a different video on the official X account of a crash test but I won’t post that to avoid linking them. here.

Since you got something so utterly basic wrong and posted it as true, I can only assume the entire post is fabricated.

Edit: took a screen shot instead of video. It crumples all the way past the front wheels

That’s what you need distress codes for.

Destruction of evidence is a much different crime.

I would suspect it’d no longer be legal to hold them indefinitely and instead at best get the max prison sentence for that crime instead.

A us law website says that’s no more than 20y as the absolute max, and getting max would probably be hard if they don’t have anything else on you.

You’d have to weigh that against what’s on the device.

Also, even better if the distress code nukes the bad content, and then has a real 2nd profile that looks real, which makes it even harder to prove you used a distress code.

I’m not sure how much it would actually help for a regular thief.

This is about protecting it against more sophisticated attacks. But the rest probably have those means if wanted.

I’ve never said otherwise.

It’s their job to find a way to hack into the phone.

This feature makes that even harder.

Right, but this is about them bypassing you entirely.

They don’t need your fingerprint or pass code if they can bypass it themselves. This feature protects you when they’ve seized it lawfully which can be for many reasons.

That’s all lawful.

They can search you and the area when arrested. They can search the car if they have probable cause that evidence will be in the vehicle

I said have a warrant or seized lawfully, not nust have a warrant.

Edit: I didn’t even write what I said I said correctly. Corrected it lol.

They usually do have a warrant or it was seized lawfully.

This is about keeping them out even when it’s lawful.

It’s not the same.

On an iPhone it’ll reboot after X hours of no use. That means it could go months without rebooting and the day after it’s in police hands it reboots.

The feature you’re talking about would need to be set to reboot every day at a specific time. Now you personally have to deal with that. Also until you unlock the phone as well there could be reduced functionality making it annoying.

Very different.

It’s for your safety.

That new surface is very risky, and if you don’t use the right connector it might catch the whole mini on fire!

it opens up a whole new surface for things. Soon there will be a dozen USB C ports on the bottom and you’ll need to buy special apple right angle cables to access them that they charge $30 per 1m cable.

Do people from Virginia never travel 350miles north?

The guidance on that page is incorrect and if that’s what they teach it might kill someone.

If you can safely change lanes then of course change lanes as your normally would do to avoid anything in your lane.

Beyond that it’s now dangerous. Stay in lane, hit the deer.

If you wouldn’t normally change lanes like that, then don’t do it for the deer.

The idea of don’t swerve for deer is very common and is taught in driving schools. If you’ve never heard it until today, well you were let down and today you learn. You don’t know dismiss it because you haven’t heard it.

Swerving is dangerous and even if you think you can do it safely, having a deer appear while travelling at high speeds is risky, even more so at night.

You’re supposed to slow down but stay in lane.

The reason you’re supposed to swerve for things like Moose is because moose are big as fuck and tall, and if you hit one head on, you will cut the legs out from under it, and it’s massive body will roll through the windshield and crush you, killing you or causing massive bodily harm.

This is from the Virginia DMV for example (emphasis mine). Them not having something about moose is actually bad as well.

Deer/Large Animal Hazards Tens of thousands of crashes with deer, elk, and bears take place in Virginia each year, resulting in fatalities, injuries and costly vehicle damage. To avoid hitting a deer or other large animal:

• Be alert at dusk and dawn especially in the fall.
• Slow down if you see a large animal near or crossing the road. Large animals frequently travel in groups; there are likely others nearby.
• Use the horn to scare the animal away.
• If a collision with a deer or other animal is unavoidable, do not swerve. Brake firmly, stay in your lane, and come to a controlled stop.
