Or you could do something more complex, track the pilots gaze, put a liquid crystal filter layer over the glass and an outside camera, then track and block bright lights by darking the correct part of the window relative to the pilots gaze. A bit faffy and complex, but that would also block the sun, letting the pilot still see when looking directly into the sun.
Please may I have this for my car? I am getting fed up of oncoming lights from what I assume to be mobile stars on our roads.
Thank you for providing a reasonable an innocent response, it's very nice to not always be cynical.
For example. Just the other day, a client saw somebody crouched down hiding behind their car in the front garden, turns out it was a old lady who hid because she was terrified of some other dogs were going to attack her or her dog, so she was just scared, who knew the world is not always such a bad place.
Your both asking the questions I'm interested in !!!
from what was in the article it seemed as if the researcher's were going out of their way to make it work on AMD and even when they could prove it possible it wasn't easy.
*Disclaimer I am a bit of a AMD fanboi, not so much that I don't imagine AMD are not affected by this just hoping not.
@DougS
Many thanks for this sage advice..... Although ..... Since 6-7 years now all my android devices have not had replaceable batteries either, but yeah they have also been waterproof :D so non-replaceable for reasons other than shafting the consumer.
The issue is not the ability to change batteries it's the reason why that decision is made, and in Apple's case its to get more money from you, not to make the phone better, although this is now redundant as I believe the Iphone is also waterproof
The past week I have no kidding spent over 6 hours purely on hold (this does not include the hours spent trying to resolve the issues) .....
They also claim that their changes did not take their customers by surprise !!!
Only advice I can give people is to keep at it though, they changed our options each time we called and I didn't give up.
I love the way people scream monopoly over Microsoft then go all quiet when you mention goggle...
*whiney voice b.. b... b.. but I use google services and don't want to risk not having it.
Either way, have an upvote and a comment agreeing with you. Personally I couldn't care less if google went down overnight, I would just use another email address and deal with slower traffic for a while, oh wait faster traffic as 90% of advertising would stop overnight.
"However, a web where the only content is paid content."
I happily pay for a server to provide a services for free, believe it or not it costs barely anything to run, I could add even more sites and services if I wanted to, but I don't.
All this "we loose so much money on hosting webpages" argument is bullshit. It costs very little to host a website and provide content per user/Customer.
Nothing bad going your way*, Just a bunch of freeloaders providing a service for free that is generally of better quality than the big boys that actually earn money for it :/
There was a story about one of the streaming add-ons being used to create a DDos tool, although it was a generous description of the act.

@ A Non e-mouse
Everyone has something to contribute. I don't think I'd want to work in an office of straight white males.
Well I'm guessing as I am a straight white male with straight white male co-workers, then I guess you don't like me, not sure what I did to offend you though .....
I went to visit a potential secondary school for my son, whilst we walked past the gym a bunch of teenage girls were all dancing about, When I Queried this the kid showing us around explained most girls did dance for their GCSE (WTF moment for me). I cannot see this really being a benefit on their CV for any STEM based job or any job actually whatsoever, well apart from drama or as mentioned above pole dancing.
I still can't believe its an actual GCSE option .........
@Ivan 4.
Whilst Personally I have actually forgone Facebook for a while now, There is most certainly going to be groups on there that are fascinated by cloud formations. Whilst not a nice atmosphere as meeting in a pub to talk clouds, facebook is actually a good means to bring likeminded people together.
e.g.

My apologies for my impatience, in my current role, to much work is hard to imagine .... Therefore I was somewhat thoughtless about your situation.
I would absolutely LOVE to review CPU's, but unfortunately I don't have any further experience than just a simple consumer, albeit a eager one. I think somebody with some job history in the semiconductor business would be much better suited
Sorry for moaning on ;)
Haha, yup can't hide that fact that I am a AMD supporter, wouldn't quite say Fanboi, as I do have Intel gear and Nvidia gear dotted around the house, where it is cheaper/better.
I honestly do appreciate the time you have taken to respond to me, when I searched for Ryzen I couldn't find anything, Although you are quite right "Zen" does bring up results, I wholeheartedly apologise for not searching hard enough.
I genuinely look forward to reading your reviews be they good or bad, and couldn't agree more regarding acting as a advertising branch through Hype, but not even a small note regarding the press announcement had me wondering considering how big a shakeup it is going to cause. I promise now I'll behave in the comments ;) if not I'll refrain from posting :D
Many Thanks for the response, it is greatly appreciated that you took to the time to let me know.
Personally I don't believe the reason given considering the number of stories on hardware not yet released e.g. Samsung S8 and Gear VR yesterday, Hololens still not out for a while, there is a plethora to choose from of stories about items not released.
Ah well, only tomorrow to wait then, I await with baited breath for the avalanche of stories in regards to high end computing affordability being cut in half.
In all honesty, Why is there not a single story about the AMD Ryzen launch from the Reg? I was looking forward to reading an article on it and going through the comments and gauging the feel of the community here at the reg.
They are cutting the price of computing in half and you don't have a word to say about it ?
Intel have been caught trying to speak to reviewers in seemingly underhand attempt before they review Ryzen.
AMD have performed the biggest turnaround of a failing tech company and nothing nada bumcus !!
What's with the Stony silence ????
probably going to have to wait for the Ryzen release then :)
Also why has the Reg been so quiet about Ryzen considering all the fanfare and boot quaking Intel are currently experiencing ?
*edit just searched not 1 hit on the Reg for "Ryzen" !?!?? Intel a major contributor by any chance ?
a PAC code, will allow you to take your mobile number from one provider to another, saving you and others the hassle of changing your number.
You call your phone company ask for a PAC code, go to new provider get a new contract, when it arrives apply the PAC code, your old number will go to the new sim card.
After another £70 phonebill from vodafone for near on 20min of calls out of free min, normally I pay £16, I have told them to stick it and gone to Three, where they are happy to place caps on usage and warn you if your getting near your limit. blah blah you should keep an eye on your usage blah blah (windows phone).
Second time I have left vodafone due to bullshit like this, this time it is for good. It would cost them more to bribe me back than they would earn off me as a customer.
Although not on the same scale, it felt like it at the time, I have gone up against insurance companies in the courts (without lawyers) and it is a horrifying scary endeavour, which just makes you want to bury your head in the sand on a daily basis.
I congratulate her for being able to stand up against what is wrong and I am sad justice has yet again been somewhat blind to honesty.
Considering it is connecting over the net it should be assigning a new certificate to each device authorised to communicate with the car. and upon a factory reset, just remove all the certificates.
I cannot see why this is such a complex task ??
