SAAB Automobile is the company that built the cars, their parent company was SAAB AB the aerospace and defence company that is still going these days.

SAAB Automobile was sold to GM back in 1989, and the SAAB 9000 series was produced under GM leadership

I have absolutely felt like I am missing something when I don’t have a dial, I like having a tool get a general idea of how fast my speed it changing, rather than having to focus on a number to see how fast that is changing.

I feel like this debate is about the concept of a seepometer as a simple number vs a speedometer as a dial.

Your claim that this speedometer was a lot easier easier to read than a normal dashboard, leaves out a bit, that is dependent on what situation we are talking about. In normal driving, I find the dash perfectly easy to read, this concept you have shown be seem to be lacking color coding which would make warning lights less distinct.

One of the best features in modern cars is when they have a HUD, that is fantastic.

An advantage of a proper dial is that you can instinctively see the change in speed by how quickly the needle moves.

The best looking dials on a dashboard I have ever seen is the dashboard from the Saab 9000 CSE.

This isn’t exacty what I remember, but close enough:

I love the green and orange colors, the car diagram, the turbo, temp and fuel dials are just great.

Granted I was a kid when we had that car, but the colors were beautiful

My Seat Leon has a digital dashboard, by pressing the “VIEW” button on the steering wheel it rotates between several different layouts, which can be customized.

I normally just have two normal dials, with a GPS map in the middle, fuel gauges to the left (because the standard place doesn’t line up properly) and a media display to the right (shows what song/podcast is playing and the progress of it)

I can make my entire dash be a giant GPS map display, with only a small digital speedometer readout, but that is annoying.

These new digital dashboards offer plenty of customizations, but the formfactor should be the same as a normal dash

Untill we have reviews, we can’t decide on what is a good deal or not.

IT guy here, if we gave developers the option to exclude whatever the hell they wanted from AV scanning it would just mean that we would end up with computers where the entire C: drive would be excluded.

No, can’t have that.

So what should a decent IT department do to give developers the access they need to do their job while maintaining a decent level of security?

Well, the least bad solution I have worked with was to have a non generic path that was excluded by policy.

Something like C:\Excluded

The directory was excluded from AV scan and allowed in policy, the user could put what they needed there and it would be fine.

Talk about hyperbole…

Google Maps is over!

No, the integration in the search results when searching the web might be gone, but you can still go to https://maps.google.com/ and find what you need.

This is not a significant shift with how we are interacting with Google, it is a minor change.

Calm down.
