I’ve been running Manjaro since Arch broke my old Chromebook eMMC drive on an update, and it’s been working great with the only thing being I have to manually install the linux-zen kernel because it’s not in the Manjaro repo.…
This explanation of a particular Flock ALPR camera feature is disturbing, as they do have the ability to apply text recognition for bumper stickers. And this would apply to the lettering and images placed on windows as well. And we’ll…
