Honda recalls nearly 2m cars in airbag scare | Business | theguardian.com

 

Honda has recalled 1.8m cars around the world after a scare over an airbag in another manufacturer’s vehicle but made by its supplier Takata.

The Japanese company said the recall covered five models made between 2001 and 2003: the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Jazz and Stream. In Europe 154,000 cars are affected and 45,000 of those are in the UK.

Fedora

I installed Fedora 20 and gave it a test drive. Whilst I was happy it seemed to run well, the graphics driver appeared to be flaky. Under Ubuntu Studio, I was getting a fps fullscreen using glxgears of around 60-65fps. Under Fedora, I was getting ~45 fps. I then tried Linux Mint Debian Edition, and that also had the same problem. So now, I’m back on Ubuntu Studio. But I might be vanilla Debian a go as well and see if that helps…

ecryptfs Setup

Some ecryptfs sites for reference, in reference to previous post.

In particular, use of the Private directory is the simplest setup as it encrypts stuff inside a known folder, leaving it in a scrambled state when you are not logged in, so that no-one can get at it.

If you only need access to those files on an occasional basis, then using the mount option is better.

Zombies Run – The End

After tolerating the instability of ZR3 for a long time, I have finally decided to quit using the app. It has become unusable, crashing EVERY use at least once and causing other apps to force close as Android tries to frantically free up memory for the black hole that is ZR3. Six to Start have not even addressed this issue, even though they acknowledge it is a memory hog.

The resources I have made — the Google Music tutorial page, and the Bitbucket respository, will remain up for now, but will not be updated further. If someone wants to pick them up and continue with them, by all means, do so, and let me know, so I can add a redirect or link to your site.
