I rented a Hyundai Elantra. Yes, the wheel will move under your hand. Yes, it has hand detection, which is probably trivial to spoof. When I used it, winter had just ended and lines on the road weren't always clear, so it would occasionally disable itself. Trying to change lanes without signals isn't terrible, but certainly won't happen by accident.

I would by no means rely on this, or recommend relying on it, just like I wouldn't recommend relying on blind spot detection, but they can be handy aids to improve your overall driving, and can help catch your mistakes.

Hit the Steam button, go to Settings, then Controller. Go to the Non-Game Controller Layouts, do Edit or click the gear icon and do Reset.

If that doesn't help then I'm not sure of the cause.

Check your keybindings for that game, and globally. Did you hook up macro that would do this? Was it for this game? Was it for a different game, but you set it up globally by accident?

But is it more or less ugly than the Pontiac Aztek?

The deal between the devils. "You get to make them poorer and I'll make them die sooner. (And we'll all get richer.)"

These are the people who think weather forecasters are just guessing right now. Why would they need access to satellites to guess?

I'm curious about that rate for millionaires. I suspect it is lower, but not by much.

I absolutely think that privacy within your own mind should be inviolable (trusting corporations and even government to agree is laughable). Iain Banks' Culture series explores some of these implications, as well as who should be in control of your mental state. It's messy and hard, and is one of the reasons I currently wouldn't get a brain implant. I might change my mind if I had ALS, for instance.

I likely had undiagnosed depression for decades before I got treatment, from a GP, no less, after being dismissed by a psychiatrist. If you have concerns about your health, keep trying to get help, as long as you're able.

"What am I without my legs?" "What am I without my eyes?" "What am I without my arms?"

What counts as "the real me" has been evolving for decades, if not centuries. I'm not volunteering for brain implants, but I'm not writing off the idea sometime in the future. As for AI, this is going to be more of the ML variety, not the LLM variety. Think more of "neurochemical levels have been trending in a certain direction for too long, release opposing neurochemicals to halt the spiral" and less of a little voice inside your head giving quite possibly incorrect answers to whatever you're thinking of.

This is absolutely risky stuff, but less risky than recurring electroshock therapy? Hard for me to say. Note that the article is from nearly 2 decades ago, but there are articles in the news from just the last couple weeks.

Pretty much where I'm at. We absolutely should do everything we can to minimize the impact of American volatility to our economy, but damaging our economy more than necessary to do so is counterproductive. Stringing on the bullshit until we have a clear exit plan is the smart move, distasteful as that may be.
