> motorcycles don't have back up cameras, air bags, etc.

why do you think that is?

Organ donation lobby no doubt.

most things you mention are mandated by the government, you can't sell a car in any western market without tire pressure monitoring, stability control, back up camera etc.

the manufacturers have no choice, it would be like suggesting they sell cars without seatbelts.

I hate tire pressure sensors, they are amazingly flaky and makes you uneasy about driving. That and the stupid alarms in my car that informs me that the temperature is below 4 degrees, it disturbs my driving.

You should be uneasy about driving.

For most people, it’s the most dangerous thing you will do today. If you are going to kill someone, it’s with your car.

But I don’t need flaky sensors alert me of no existing problem. That just makes everything worse.

False positives are annoying, but not knowing about a true positive is fatal.

Back up cameras are not mandatory until May 2022 in the EU.

Cars designed at least three years before they are shipped - so May 2022 might as well be tomorrow in car time.

Ah. Not only does our car (VW from 2016) not have one, I don't think I have ever been in a car that had a backup camera.

Reading in this thread that it's impossible to even buy a car without it is very surprising to me.

We're already only a few months away from 2022, most (if not all) carmakers present on the EU market have included back-up cameras in their vehicles. I know that my brother's Dacia Logan built in 2019 already had one.

Backup cameras have been an optional extra for a long time sure, but I don't think I'm aware of any car that actually comes standard with one. Well, maybe a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. I do have a backup camera in my 10-year-old Benz, but I imagine that the original owner paid a four-digit amount of euros for it back in the day.

'Rear Visibility' is required in new cars in US by FMVSS 111. Test procedure mandates field of view to rear of vehicles during backing, that are practical to satisfy with cameras. mirrors would require like a periscope to satisfy.

Yeah, but the US isn't the EU.

I have a 2016 Hyundai Accent. Unless the law is very new my car has no backup camera or much else. I'm sure there's an emergency tire pressure sensor but that's about it. Not much to my car.

You're pretty much right before the cut-off. The rule/law in the US kicked in in mid-2018.

you do know that no one burns crude oil right? it's not an either burn it or make plastic out of it.

Oil is extracted from the earth primarily to burn it, such as in automobile engines. The fact that it goes through a refining stage is irrelevant.

it's absolutely amazing that you are criticizing someone else for pushing an agenda. Please enlighten us, wtf is the lgbt agenda. it sounds scary.

It doesn't make any sense. He contradicts himself. If you bought a computer in the store (not tech savvy) then you are fine. If you built your own computer (tech savvy) then you can't figure out the bios settings?

Exactly my thoughts. He builds a "custom" computer, mix matches parts but is unaware of the difference between CSM/UEFI or MBR/GPT?

UEFI and GPT have been on the scene since Vista (2007).

Assembling a computer from parts doesn’t really require in-depth knowledge these days thanks to true plug’n’play.

No jumpers to set for CPU multipliers, IDE master/slave or IRQ/DMA/IO etc.

MBR/GPT and BIOS/UEFI aren't anywhere in-depth as clock multiplier, bus master/slave or IRQ/DMA/IO.

MBR/GPT and BIOS/UEFI along with SecureBoot are neatly explained in the UEFI and motherboard manuals. Also custom parts imply you're running XMP memory and need to enter UEFI to enable the advertised clocks anyway (Hello! JEDEC).

If you are so ashamed of your work that you need to do it under a different name, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it?

I'm proud of the work I've done on Sonarr. If someone doesn't want to associate with me because of it, then the feeling is probably mutual.

To clarify, they did fix the reimbursement issue but ignored the interview update issue.

Just to be clear, I was very clear with them during our conversation that it would only happen if they committed to keeping the spirit of AppGet (which they did)

I might be wrong, but I don't think to have MS behind a project like that causing it exponentially grow was a betrail of users.

I did, I've since updated the article at the end to note this,

> There was an issue with my travel reimbursement, So I contacted the HR contact and at the same time asked about the Interviews, She told me someone will get back to me about that and they never did. This was on Feb 14th, 2020.
