TIL most cars have a black box that records information leading up to a crash

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_data_recorder#NHTSA_ruling

    Since there was already an overwhelming trend for voluntary EDR installation, the ruling did not require manufacturers to install EDRs in vehicles produced for North America. Based on its analysis, NHTSA estimated that by 2010, over 85% of vehicles would already have EDRs installed in them, but warned that if the trend did not continue, the agency would revisit their decision and possibly make installation a requirement.

    The mandate did, however, provide a minimum standard for the type of data that EDRs would be required to record, consisting of at least 15 types of crash data, including pre-crash speed, engine throttle, brake use, measured changes in forward velocity (Delta-V), driver safety belt use, airbag warning lamp status and airbag deployment times.

    In addition to the required data, NHTSA also set standards for 30 other types of data to be recorded if EDRs were voluntarily configured. For example, if a manufacturer configured an EDR to record engine RPMs or ABS activity, then the EDR would have to record 5 seconds of those pre-crash data in half-second increments.

    • Josh Hawley introduced a bill to ban members of Congress from stock trading. Democrats said OK, we'll support it if it includes the President and JD Vance. Now the White House wants to stop the bill.

  • Agreed, but let's not be naïve. Pay them a food wage, give them healthcare, and good incentives to be ethnical government workers. If you don't, then the corruption gets worse under the table.

    Looking at this, it looks more like Microsoft just screwed it's auth system in some way for him then intentionally banned him in particular.

    I as an IT guy have seen this before SOHO office accounts as well and entirely agree that MS has entirely lost the ability to do IT infrastructure in any useful way. Even at an enterprise level, Exchange and outlook used to be convoluted to learn and administer before they became cloud based, as regedit was your friend and they always buried the settings. Now, it doesn't require a degree in IT, but rather a pointy hat and a reading of spell books to make things work... Sometimes. Sacrifices of interns might be necessary at the alter of Support, before they'll answer the phone and you realize they have no more knowledge then you to.
