Hang on baby…


Thank you Jeeves. Goodnight.


Same here. But also from a work point of view they’re a security nightmare. My job involves administering computer based driving theory testing. For people that have trouble reading we have a ‘voice over’ option that’ll read the questions and the four possible answers. Couple a set of these and a mobile phone hidden in their underpants or in the hedge, just the other side of the test lab window and we have a problem. Ones with physical cameras are an easy one. They just cannot test wearing the glasses, prescription or not.
These are different. We only caught one bloke as he was acting suspiciously. Dread to think how many have got through.
Excellent. Thanks.
Which model MacBook please? I need a new project as my old Lenovo Ideapad is dying. And I might still be able to use Snow Leopard.


Go Ukraine!


The only correct answer.
Trump is a senile, rascist, idiot.


That’s a rather disturbing article.
But when you think about it, it should have been obvious.
All those vehicles driving around. Mapping, listening, watching. And then you plug your phone in!
It’s a privacy nightmare.


What a total arsehole.


We don’t allow them where I work at a Driving Test Centre in UK. Which is awkward, as you can now have these glasses with prescription lenses. Candidates can either test without them, or don’t test and lose your test fee. We’ve had a couple of people refused a test and they weren’t happy. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.


It was inevitable.


Ha ha ha. The slimy toerag needs to be tried for treason. Like AMW he thinks he’s better than anyone else.


No, but it’s a good excuse/mask


Is it too much to say this is down to religion?


As well as Venezuela, Canada and Cuba.




You’d be surprised. We (Driving Theory Test UK) do not allow them into our test lab. They either test without them (locked away) or do not test.
Across our network of test centres there are usually a couple of attempts at cheating each day.
Such as tech assisted, like Meta glasses, or fake licences, or even impersonation.
Some people think it’s beyond them to learn and insist on cheating.


I tried that and it was very good. Have been a bit of a hopper over the years and kept going back to Mint. It seemed a bit slow though and so I tried a few others and ran GeekBench 6 on them and for the last few months have been with Endeavour. It has two results as gusty result is last version.

Apologies for formatting but it’s a table from Apple Notes 😉
Linux Mint Cinnamon 1077 1650 Cachy OS 1211 2756 Fedora Kinoite 1177 2643 Endeavour KDE 1278/1274 3292/3131 Endeavour Gnome 1135 2110 Manjaro KDE 1117 1848 Zorin 787 1134
Not the most scientific of tests but it might help someone. But for my purposes Endeavour is the one. Also the one I have least issues with.
Plus, you are uplifted by their presence alone.
Don’t need material ‘presents’.
