It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This is absolutely going to get somebody who had a subscription killed because the airbag couldn't connect to the service to check in the 1/4 of a second it had to go off.
that's absurd, it probably checks in periodically when it's in range of service and then decides whether to brick itself. it's going to get somebody who had a subscription killed because of a database error or bugged firmware update.
Okay, so apparently there's an indicator light at the beginning that tells you if your subscription is active. Presumably they have at least one person who passed their realtime programming course and it's designed around making sure you never give off a green light unless the suit is ready to inflate.
But a company that charges a subscription for airbag deployment may be too cheap to hire actual software engineers lmao
You guys have courses for that? I just set CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=Y and go about my day.
