  • I have no idea what it’s about, but they do have great memes.

    I got a new phone recently, and it started from fresh with all the cookies being unrelated to my accounts and such. The pushed content started out with random shit, but a few days in it started revolving around things that involves anti-social women.

    I embrace it. I think it’s wonderful content, so it keeps feeding me strange stuff that women do when they’re not just showing boobs for likes on YouTube. It’s nerdy types doing nerdy stuff.

    I find it interesting to see what young women actually do. Mostly because I’m not a young woman. I do have daughters though. I’m waiting for them to revolt on me, but they aren’t. They somehow know that we are in this together and that I will support them in every step.

    You’re right, but even if everyone hates AI it’s just not possible to put the cat back in the sack and shut it down.

    Someone will want to use it or at least have the technology available.

    It should however be banned from being applied automatically. It’s such as waste of money and resources. I sure hope it’s not sentient. I’d feel sorry for it to have to carefully consider all my queries when I accidentally mistype the url for a porn site three times in a row.



  • I think it’s an update from January. The first produced R5s doesn’t seem to have the camera on the A-pillar. It’s part of the media system which is used in other models as well.

    I can’t imagine that rentals or fleet cars will throw a warning every time someone new uses the car, so I want to bet that the warnings can be disabled somehow with the right access to the ECU.

    Renault uses their own ECU computers, which are quite expensive, but previous versions have been accessible using an OSB dongle with other software.

    I’m sure someone will eventually figure out how to get into the system once these cars get old enough to reach the used market.

    It’s an EU decision. It will be coming to many more cars as it will be mandatory from July 2026 for all newly registered vehicles. Renault 5 is simply one of the first new cars to feature it.

    According to the same law, it is illegal to use the system in a way that can identify the person, it may not save biometrics, and it must function in closed loop without sharing the data. It’s looking for things like head nodding or looking away from the road for more than 3.5 seconds while driving over 50 km/h. The camera is likely using infrared lighting as it should also work at night.

    Anyway. According to the manual, it can be disabled by double tapping a button on the steering wheel or through the touch screen menus, though it will default to being enabled everytime you start the car as per the legal requirement.

    If you cover it with tape, wear a mask or drive somebody else’s car in which you don’t have a profile saved, it will simply use the last previous profile and show an icon in the dashboard as a warning that the function isn’t working.

    The question wasn’t about proof.

    It’s more like: If a guy is known for shitting his pants and it smells like shit when he’s around, are you going to require proof of shit in his pants before you deny him sitting in your brand new couch?
