Anon plays GTA: Dubai in c/greentext@sh.itjust.works

I don't think that Dubai, or anywhere in the UAE, ever had a ban on women driving.

Are you thinking of Saudi Arabia? Different country.

Sounds like somebody needs to go restore a train...

What are your weird food rules? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 20 points 3 months ago

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter.

I'm so confused. You pivot your elbows and smash the sandwich into your face like the letters hitting the page? You take lots of fast, noisy bites like the sound of typing? You nibble the top piece of bread from left to right, then the filling from left to right, then the bottom, going 'ding!' in between?

This just seems like the wrong way around... Surely it's better to build the shower so the water doesn't go near the tap? Just have the tap off to the side?

Imagine having a sink where the tap was directly underneath the spout.

What is the workaround for regionally locked DVDs? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Are you using a hardware DVD player? Google the model number +region unlock or region free code.

This toilet paper at my work in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

What always gets me when I see paper like this, is just how much manpower, engineering time, experimentation, materials science, and just sheer concerted effort went into making paper this fucking thin and useless.

Remote access to lan, isolated from the internet? (aussie.zone)

I'm looking at a permanent install of a Windows machine that runs a few digital signs. I want to achieve remote access and file upload to the Windows box, as well as accessing the internal web server of the displays on the same LAN. This LAN will be attached to a corporate network, but I would prefer if it did not have access to the internet. I'll have to work with the IT department to get this happening, of course, but I'm hoping to go in prepped with potential solutions. Could anyone tell me if these ideas will work, or what I'm missing?

VPN tunnel. This would be whichever VPN that their IT supports. Would I be able to simply install the client on the windows box and my machine, and then on my machine connect to the VPN, use TeamViewer in LAN mode for control of the Windows box, and web browser for control of displays? I'm assuming their IT would set up the upstream switch to only pass that VPN connection, so that the Windows box does not see the internet, and I cannot see their internal network.
Some kind of IPMI/PiKVM solution- This would be a second computer, attached to the corporate network, but not to the signage LAN. It would just be a KVM for the Windows box. I would then dial into that via its webserver, and control the Windows machine. The control for the displays would be accessed via browser on the Windows machine. I like this solution, as it keeps the networks separate, but I think that uploading files will be a challenge.
Or is there a better way?

Easier, more precise clicking

I'm happy they've moved on from testing on unwilling monkeys, to willing humans.

Industrial robot crushes man to death in South Korean distribution centre in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 21 points 7 months ago

Without knowing the setup, it's all guesswork- But if I had to guess, the program the robot ran through would be a series of movements that results in a box that is this size and this shape in this position being moved perfectly well to this particular spot.

Humans are not that size, that shape, or in that position.

I've not worked industrial in Asia, but where I have worked there has been stringent protocols around locking out machinery that has the potential to kill. For someone to enter a hazardous area, they have to remove any potential source of energy (eg, disconnecting power to motors, draining hydraulic pressure, lowering suspended loads, etc) and use a lock that only they have access to to prevent that energy returning. I'm guessing that this incident either did not have that procedure in place, or it was in place but not followed correctly.

The maximum size of a PDF compared to Europe. in c/importantimages@lemmy.best

[-] gazter@aussie.zone 21 points 9 months ago

Why the heck is it constrained in inches? If I open a pdf on two screens of different sizes, with the zoom at 100%, will the features be the same size or not?

I just want to say that I'm so happy that people are taking notice of privacy concerns in cars in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Grnrrth is a FOSS native qualitivate built with the Jot framework. It comfortably handles 2NUT, xrr, .gif, and any other Banbo hierarchies in a windowed, cross-system integrated module.
