I'd consult a lawyer that specializes in this sort of thing. You want to cross all your t's, dot the i's and dot the the j's. You don't want to find out later you were supposed to cross the Ⱦ the other way.

Tell that to the kids and pets that got run over because they were in a blind spot, backup cameras help to prevent that.

I completely understand not wanting the whole suite of modern safety features, I hate most them too, but they do save lives. If you don't drive that much, then they shouldn't bother you if they are there. Most can be turned off anyway. If you're that desperate to not have a rear cam, just tape over it, but please don't.

Even the "cheap", sub $30k new cars come with a lot of the safety features standard now. (Based on general internet rumblings), a used 2018-2022 higher trim car will probably be the sweet spot between having some of the safety features (that can be turned off), physical AC controls, and not having the ads and giant tablet screens. Personally, I wouldn't go any older than 2020 unless you find something well taken care of. A 2018 model year would have be released summer 2017, 9 years ago.

I get not wanting the internal camera and telemetry crap, but not wanting the other stuff puts you in the same group of people that opposed seat belts when they first became mandatory for cars.

Backup cams, lane warnings, blind spot detection, and auto breaking are all incredible advancements that have significantly improved vehicle saftey.

The features I don't like are things that take total control of the car like auto pilot, lane merging, auto park, or lane correction. It should not fight you trying to avoid something on the road. A little beep to say, "hey you're leaving the lane" is okay, a little beep to remind you to keep your eyes on the road is theoretically okay (but we all know the massive privacy concerns with that one.)

And to answer your question, yes you can get still cars with less of those features. Often the more advanced automation features are sold as an add-ons package or at higher trim level. Unfortunately, comforts like heated seats or motorized trunks are part of the same package, there is no getting one with out the other.

The sand people stopped participating when a new guy "Racer V" went off the tracks killing them all. It took weeks to clean up.

Its a shame Racer V disappeared before Racer X appeared, their races would have been legendary.

If you can see the light has gone out, it just means the light bulb needs to be replaced.

Cool Cammy, her videos are reminiscent of the early YouTube era.

Tom Scott started posting again.

He's showcasing some incredible people and the things they do.

Did you put on a cat ear headband, attach a tail and hide under a pile of pillows?

Hah, I think we'll be sadled with 100% of the debt and consequences.

ArticleAnother Leak: ‘Avatar: Aang: The Last Airbender’ Surfaces Online Months Before Paramount+ Debut By Jamie Lang | 04/13/2026 1:17 pm |

A major leak of footage from Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender is making the rounds online, and it’s hard to see this as anything but damaging for everyone involved.

Over the weekend, clips and now reportedly the full film surfaced online months ahead of its planned Paramount+ debut. The movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery, was initially meant to get a theatrical run, but late last year it was pulled and redirected straight to Paramount+.

The material shared over the weekend reportedly includes key story moments and unfinished animation, although some say the full film is now online, with reports suggesting the leak may have originated from an internal error or security breach tied to Nickelodeon. One Twitter user claimed they were accidentally sent the full film in an email from Nickelodeon. That seems exceedingly unlikely, but it raises questions about how the film could have gotten out.

The leak is a major blow to an already unsettled studio. Since being purchased by Skydance, Paramount and its subsidiary Nickelodeon have been subject to massive layoffs; their long-time and well-respected head of animation, Ramsey Naito, left the company; and just last week, it was revealed that Nickelodeon Animation Studios would be folded more tightly into CBS Studios.

It’s concerning yet entirely unsurprising how normalized this kind of thing has become. Another Avatar film, James Cameron’s in this case, leaked in 2023, alongside The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The difference in those cases is that the films being leaked were already released in theaters. This time, a film months away from release has now been spoiled by a few bad actors.

High-profile leaks aren’t just spoilers, either. They disrupt the economic and creative ecosystem that keeps these kinds of projects getting made. When unfinished work circulates widely, it diminishes both the artistry and the labor behind it, and can cause serious issues for future titles.

The upcoming avatar movie leaked, it sounds like the script, screenshots and ~~possibly~~ the entire movie is circulating.

Also for some reason (before the leak) Paramount decided the movie wouldn't get a theatrical release. Who ever is making the decisions out there is not setting it up for success.

Anyway, if you can watch the movie from an official source, please do so their numbers reflect as many people as possible.

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks fujiwood@lemmy.world


I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
