How is it a distration, when in fact, it's the opposite - it catches the attention of the driver going behind, they look at it, they can't miss it, and they keep the distance...

The Swarm, imho, is mind-blowing!

I can't wait for the future!

I agree. This looks terrible.

On a somewhat similar note, I hate how lots of cars in America don't have amber turn signals because the NHTSA doesn't require them.

They can be Amber or White, right? But yeah, I don't like it when people have white since it doesn't catch your eye as much.

When I was in high school, I put blue turn signals in my car. Yeah, that lasted about 2 days before I got reamed out by the 5-0. :pinch:

Because some crazy design doesn't indicate they are stopping. There's nothing better about it than a red light that gets brighter when the brake is pressed. Maybe if the car had rear sensors, it could detect if a car was coming up too fast and starting blinking furiously, but that doesn't need OLEDs and some flashy design. Braking is a simple concept and anything fancy, which stands out, is just a distraction.

Okay, then I still don't understand what he was getting at. Having designs in your brake lights would probably cause more rear-end accidents since it would be a distraction.

If you're distracted by the "tail lights" of the car "in front of you" and you rear end them, you probably don't need to be on the road. That's the whole point of this lighting system. To get the attention of the person behind you.

No they can be amber or red, so most manufacturers just use the brake light as turn indicators.

Everywhere else turn signals have to be amber.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
