JDeArte | 3 years ago | on: 2XL – ‘70s toy that faked AI with an 8-track [video]

Dude, I was a kid in the 70s and I remember playing with it. We all knew it was an over glorified "choose your own adventure" 8-track audiobook player.

We put normal 8 tracks in it all the time - it was hilarious.

Saying it "faked AI" is a bit disingenuous

JDeArte | 4 years ago | on: Congratulations, Mini, you made the stupidest turn signals ever

California DMV motor vehicle code, in part says

25251. (a) Flashing lights are permitted on vehicles as follows: (1) To indicate an intention to turn or move to the right or left upon a roadway, turn signal lamps and turn signal exterior pilot indicator lamps and side lamps permitted under Section 25106 may be flashed on the side of a vehicle toward which the turn or movement is to be made.

If you feel that the mini is in violation by failing to do it's most basic of job of indicating left or right, file a complaint with the investigations division, and this state with the largest number of car registrations can fix it by forcing a recall or blocking registrations until it it fixed by the mfg https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv-complaints-ffinv-1/

JDeArte | 10 years ago | on: AWS Device Farm adds support for iOS

We created an Android AND iOS farm for automated game testing. You don't need to root iOS to get it done - it's just a PITA to do it right. You end up needing an attached Mac running XCode to send commands & you can't use the internet connection through the wire so we set up a local secure wifi network.

The only devices we had to "root" (aka put in developer mode) were some android devices that wouldn't allow us to change the HOSTS file otherwise ;-)

I'm glad that AWS is now offering this type of service, I can't wait to try it out.
