do not turn off the bus.
@repeattofade Hope they don't encounter any detours, or the bus will have to turn off
@repeattofade If this bus moves more than 5% per hour, it's rigged to explode!
@repeattofade they need to polish their in-flight infotainment tech. 😅 (do you have a [rough] geo loc?)
@platymew @repeattofade Cellige, Texas (you can see it in the log)
@repeattofade this Speed remake is a bit low-stakes.
@alicemcalicepants @repeattofade The bus explodes if the firmware download speed drops below 50mbit/s. Keanu plays an overworked SRE trying to keep machines and networks from getting bogged down while 1000s of other buses also are attempting to update at the same time. Sandra Bullock gets bored and simply walks off the bus while the firmware update is happening.
@repeattofade
Please tell me the bus was not in service when the photo was taken.
@repeattofade Speed 3 is a weird movie
@repeattofade what if the bus... crashes?
@repeattofade
It’s now safe to turn off your bus.
@repeattofade you can go to prison if you flash your BIOS on the bus.
@repeattofade Surprised they don't have it hard wired to the battery with a sense wire connected to accessory power. That way it could sense when the bus is off and go to sleep under normal conditions, with the option of staying powered on long enough to finish updates in a situation like this.
@gerowen @repeattofade Two months ago we learned that flight data and cockpit voice recorders aren't connected to a battery on Boeing 737. I'd give the bus a pass.
@gerowen @repeattofade That would need people to PLAN their systems and for the implementation to be GOOD. And PLAN and GOOD are 4-letter words; -)

@gerowen @repeattofade

In Germany, I occasionally see a city bus or long-distance train unable to continue after a stop and the only (and officially determined) remedy is for the driver to mechanically disconnect the battery from the circuit, forcing a cold start of the entire electronic system.

@gerowen @repeattofade My laptop doesn't do this, so why would vendor-lock-in bus video software do it?
@davidr @repeattofade I dunno; it was just a thought, though to be fair your laptop's battery can't be accidentally disconnected while a process is running except under specific circumstances like you holding the power button or running it completely dead.
@repeattofade Everyone's too young, no one's made a joke about "bus error: core dumped" yet.
@futzle @repeattofade these buses come along one after the other and they’re also suitable for almost any bus route you wish to apply them to

@futzle @repeattofade

I was just wondering if this was the fabled S100 bus.

@futzle @repeattofade Yep, SIGBUS incoming!

@futzle @repeattofade And if it was an army vehicle...

SIGBUS: corps dumped

Where is General Panic when needed?

@repeattofade hmm, bet someone turned off the bus too... just seems like something that would happen.. I mean how many people turn off their computers during a windows update, and then get confused as to why their computer wont boot next time... enough that ms built the recovery program directly into the os instead of the install media (that most people either lose, or never get in the first place)
@repeattofade
Bus driver instructions now 4% more munbly.
@repeattofade that is the worst thing to see on a bus
@repeattofade Must be an update of the universal serial bus driver 😆
@repeattofade lol that’s great. Does the bus run Windows though?? (Looks like a Windows progress bar)
@codecat @repeattofade By the look of the filename, it's a .ihex file which is an Intel HEX object file, so I'm guessing it's probably running on a RISC-V ARM based CPU with Oracle Linux.
@Alkaris ohh good investigative work!
@Alkaris @codecat @repeattofade Risc-v? 🤓 And which SoC from whom would they be using...? 🤔
@repeattofade 😂😂😂🚌🚍🙋‍♀️
@repeattofade Speed : the 2025 remake
@repeattofade A bus full of passengers is forced to race across the continent while a crucial software update is progressing, putting everyone aboard, and the future of mankind, in peril. (featuring Leni Klum and Justin Long)
@repeattofade That is what happens when you switch to the Universal Serial Bus and get rid of all of the drivers
@repeattofade Hopefully that's not the update to allow ICE to remotely hijack the bus to auto-drive it to a detention center...
@repeattofade Having built a software update system for public transport signage myself, I know it can be done better -- where the upgrade runs in the background, is failsafe, and the only thing you see on the display is the reboot at the end. I've even done a writeup of the interesting parts: https://www.tahina.priv.at/hacks/there-be-dragons.html

@repeattofade sorry boss, can't make it to work today, firmware update bricked my bus.
@repeattofade If the updates arrive on a thumb drive, is it a universal serial bus bus?
@repeattofade also, please don't turn ON the bus
@repeattofade 🎶🎶🎶 Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' (Come on) 🎶🎶🎶
@repeattofade I imagine @askarel 's bus like that xD

@repeattofade Meanwhile, the driver has been told to turn off the bus if it's expected to be stationary for more than a minute or two...

Mind you, I've never seen those screens display anything useful and accurate, so why worry? :-)
