I presume there's some dubious VPN method to view it but not sure I can be arsed. Part of the interest for me is the commentary and it just won't be the same.

Just a type of rose apparently according to Google, usually from Ecuador or Columbia.

Also renders any vehicle instantly unable to be sold outside the USA so there's that silver lining.

I've got an old rim brake Synapse. Enjoyed that a lot but fancied something more gravel biased this time. Secan is replacing a whole quiver of bikes I no longer fit due to injury.

It'll probably be Linux ext4 formatted though there have been other filesystems. So your Windows computer will need ext4 support.

If you attach a phone via USB, it doesn't mount as an external drive as such. The phone 'translates' filesystem access. It's more like networking two computers together.

Fairlight Secan. Bike fit put me on a 54T. Usually, before the injury, I'd have gone for a 56 but can't get that stretched out now. Also 38cm bars which are going to be weird. Due in a few weeks. Specialized Diverge was a good fit too but the Secan is more versatile and I like steel.

Got me nostalgic for Colman's German Mustard sarnies. Nothing else in there, just mustard.

When I work in Manchester I can see a KFC from the window within walking distance and people still order food using Uber/justeats for delivery.

"hundreds of people". Who'd have thought there would be that many stupid people in America.

Or brown. Brown sauce usually has tomatoes and tamarind in the ingredients.

And miles of discarded bags and plastic radiating out from it tossed from cars and vans.

I've shock absorbers on my car that were tested on the NΓΌrburgring. I would guess it has less potholes than the A56.

Did that end of December and put a deposit down. It's due end of Feb. I've filled the time umming and aaahing over things I can add to it. So far, tubeless repair kit, some taller aero bars, spare battery and charger. Having to stop myself ordering a second set of wheels.

Parents in Spain had to do reaction and hand eye coordination tests too.

Definitely easier now with standards for contacts/calendar entries. I can't remember what I used with my Palm Vx. The Psion sync software was pretty ropey too with macs. Weird to think I've still got contacts on my phone I probably typed into a Psion 3 in 1991.

04.01.2026 22:00 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Nope. Every phone I've had since the mid 90s has synced contacts from my pc/Mac with a cable at least.

Even on a bicycle GPS with 1 second updates and decent maps you often get ghost readings where you're mapped on the road when in fact you're in the bike lane 5m to the left. Phones are usually worse even in a specific app like Strava. This is why I have KOMs on the back alley behind B&M. πŸ˜€

Even said it doesn't in the article you've posted. The granularity of mobile data is 150m in the article. GPS granularity is about 5m in fine mode on a smartphone. Most car GPS systems use fused data where they combine map data with GPS as it's a reasonable assumption your car is on a road.

Her follow up videos to this are special too. "The bank still hasn't apologised"

No it does not.

Nah. Not installing a tracking app on my phone for that.

How are you collecting GPS data from pedestrians and cyclists?

The danger in this is the light sequencing gets skewed to the vehicles that they have data for and pedestrians and cyclists end up waiting at reds even longer.
