  • He is correct that the forces are different. The equation for centripetal force is Fc = Mv2/R.

    Radius is the distance from the focal point, and each seat will be different distances.

    So he is technically correct that seat position could be calculated in perfect conditions with accurate measurements.

    But none of the data that reaches this service will be remotely accurate or complete enough to make that determination. It will only have one passengers phone data, and even if it collected everyones phone data, phone sensors have a margin of error well above what the difference would be. GPS data is only even marginally accurate up to something like 6ft, and really not even then. Then cars have a lot of other factors like suspension and compression in seats, etc, that would absorb enough of the forces to muddy the data even if accurate sensors were everywhere.

    Tl;dr; another cocky person that took a few physics courses but walked away with a poor understanding of real world applications talking out their ass.

    Definitely intentionally deceiving by OP.

    Working with exotic animals at a sanctuary is basically a labor of love. It’s a shitty industry to make a living in, but these kinds of places usually run on fumes.

    Still, the training fee, walkie deposit, and not supplying the tour vehicle are pretty sus.

    My wife’s car disconnects my bt audio like every 5 mins. There are certain intersections where it always connects. I’ve long suspected its because of other bt devices using the same frequencies. This is on a 2023 ev car using android auto.

    My shitty aftermarket bt radio I installed on my 2003 PoS is 100% stable. No problems.






  • I’m not well versed on the details surrounding this, but it sounds like Pi pivoted to supply businesses during the chip shortage, instead of direct to consumer in the more hobbyist space.

    That seems like a win win, well within moral business practice.

    Yes, Pi was founded (afaik) as a cheap minimalist PC. No thrills or bullshit, with a strong moral stance on making a barebones PC available to all.

    Pivoting to help keep a global chip shortage from causing a global collapse of anything needing simple circuit boards isn’t evil. It’s helping everyone get through potentially a lot worse than not having access to a mostly hobbyist device. And it probably meant they could use their own impacted supply line in the most efficient way possible.

    Hopefully the consumer Pi isn’t lost for good, but this seems far from corporate greed, but a necessary concession during a global disaster.
