What if we said you could turn any disk into a multi-boot OS installer for free without touching a single config file?

I enjoy Easy2boot,(https://easy2boot.xyz/) but this seems an interesting alternative.

Re: LiDAR doesn't work in the dark? WTF?

I agree. Humans have inputs, even though their mechanism maybe not fully understood, that I can't see AVs matching in the foreseeable future.

Many years ago, on a dark, wet night, I was driving my 6V VW Beetle (the one with the candle-power headlights) along an unlit part of an almost deserted highway. Maybe at around 60kph because of the terrible conditions. I got a sudden, urgent intuitive prompt "STOP". I immediately slowed to walking pace and out of the mist in front of me loomed a cyclist wearing only (wet) black, no lights, no white showing anywhere. He had possibly been crossing the road in front of me. Had I not heeded the prompt, I'm certain I would have got him.

I bet many other readers have had comparable experiences with intuituve flashes.
