Yeah, based on the link in your first comment the answer is that there is basically no way to test impairment without just giving people impairment tests. So even though we may have moved to this because saliva tests are a bit dodgy, it’s probably not much better.

Honestly, I think we should just throw loads more money into getting self-driving cars sorted. Well, I guess there is already loads of money being thrown at it so we should wait it out. Then we can just ban driving and solve the whole problem.

Also see stats from:

• Lemmy.nz - https://lemmy.nz/post/12001861
• Lemmy.ca - https://lemmy.ca/post/15125231

Which are pretty similar.

Pretty sure that’s a plus subscription for if you want to support them. It gives you hourly map updates and weather and other stuff hardly anyone needs. But you can use the app fine without it.

I still prefer Organic Maps though.

PieFed communicates with Lemmy. Same content, different platform. That’s one awesome thing about federation.

There is also mbin (fork of kbin), and Sublinks, which is API compatible with Lemmy so should be able to use Lemmy apps with it (from memory, this is what Beehaw are hoping to move to).

I wish that would work, but I need a credit card with a billing address in a supported country!

Or I can spend $4k+ 😯 on the only one that’s on Trademe right now, but that defeats the purpose of having an upgradable laptop!

It can be cheaper, but it’s well known how hard it is to attract skilled workers to the regions.

There is a certain lifestyle that comes with it, but that lifestyle doesn’t always appeal. There are far more people moving to cities than there are people moving out of cities, generally. Many employers in the regions find they have to hire from overseas, it can be quite a problem finding skilled staff at prices businesses can afford.

See this is a decent use of LLMs! OK so the article said the team admitted other approaches would do at least as good of a job.

But can we try to use AI for scanning open source code to find vulnerabilities before they are released, rather than for watching your every move as you use your computer?

They only ship to specific countries. When they started it was US and some EU countries. Eventually they expanded, they ship to Aus but not NZ yet. And it doesn’t seem likely it will happen any time soon. They are also oddly protective, actively preventing people outside supported countries from buying their stuff.

I know it’s a risk I took when ordering from them, even at the time they were not shipping to NZ and were saying you weren’t allowed to freight forward. But that doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

I have actually done an order with some upgrades, I replaced the screen panel and hinges at one point, but that was probably a couple of years ago now. At that time I still managed to order with my NZ credit card, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Not sure, I didn’t know that was a thing! I know that Framework have been known to audit orders and cancel ones that are going to known freight forwarders but I can give it a go.

It’s also not that uncommon for companies outside the main centres to have to pay more than the main centres to attract skilled workers. Why would they move to Putāruru to work for the same money they can get in Auckland?
