That’s good, I don’t think we have much common legislation (delegated acts) for headlights.
(Oh, there is something, but it’s way too short)

And I’m really proud of EU legislation, it has procedures that get shit done and in a predictable manner.

Wow, that sounds … undrivable.
Especially if you say it’s a regular occurrence.

Like, you wouldn’t/are unable to see any pedestrians or cars in front of you. That is really not ok.

Stay safe somehow.

And also it’s not this-ish (the angle depending on each person)?

Oh, thx for the description, I’m starting to understand now.

There isn’t any inherent reason why we couldn’t use reflector tech with LEDs - there wouldn’t even be anything wrong of you would exchange an incandescent bulb with LED if it was certified correctly (by the manufacturer, which actually exist), by which I mean with the right power & with full round and equal light emissions (for the reflector to pick up correctly). The LED emissions needn’t be harsher (tho the cheaper ones def are, low cri led are more power efficient too, but project a diminished spectrum) tho I def understand you.

The projector style headlamps also come (came?) with incandescent (instead of xenon or led) bulbs which still had the issue you point out at your 2). It’s not a bulb thing, it’s a light casting thing.
And projectors (incandescent, xenon, or led) are indeed used exactly bcs of what bothers you - they bleed less light around their target angles so they are legally allowed to be brighter (since at level they can emit more light without it crossing the threshold of for much of it bleeds higher than allowed). Yes, this doesn’t account for actual daily life, just a sterile average (which positively def affects safety too - ofc besides the issue is blinded drives you pointed out). But road infrastructure is a giant factor here. Cars shouldn’t jump up and down due to road quality.

To points 2) & 3) I would add that it makes an enormous difference if you suffer from the slightest astigmatism - for me that was what caused the diminished vision when someone slightly blinded me (the pain is considerably less to in road situations).

It’s what makes “single bright points” tolerable for short durations & it makes easier for the brains to compute around it (with astigmatism points become more like lines & brains now have to interpret/check those + lines are bigger than precise dots & it takes more info to process them). This isn’t noticeable during the day & it doesn’t necessarily mean your vision is below average.

Can I ask in what situations?

Like on even, level road when they are facing you?
Or like a hilly road?

And we arent talking high beams or fog lamps (some people just drive with them constantly)?

Or are the cars loaded at the back which makes their headlights point to high up?
And people don’t use this thing:
(This is what I mean by auto-leveling & that the govs should mandate it - people aren’t doing it manually & don’t know what this switch does … or don’t notice their headlamps are illuminating peoples faces in other cars.)

Wait, the new cars are not law compliant?

Seems country dependent. Maybe even mean purchasing-power related.

But it’s a people problem, they either use illegal (for their vehicle) bulbs or the infrastructure doesn’t demand better.

My 10 year old car has that. Just adaptive headlights.

USA legalised them only recently - that’s why (“expensive”) European cars in Murikan movies always had the shitty incandescent headlights that in most markets weren’t even available.

What deregulation-used brain that that doesn’t demand safe legal infrastructure for their roads made this meme?
(LEDs are the way safer tech, if they aren’t used wrong)

Brighter headlights than incandescent bulbs provided is a safety feature - legislation needs to make you safe by insuring irl that it’s not directed to other drivers (various countries also set max candles at various distances too, but that’s not even the issue).

A yearly mandatory roadworthiness test & legislation about what the max distance from road headlights can even be positioned solves all problems (apart from deliberate long-beaming peoples peepers - which should be solved by fees/cops).

Not to mention nowdays few cars don’t have auto-leveling or adaptive headlights. So it feels like a half-solved perform.
And again, like automatic emergency braking, govs could just demand auto-headlight-leveling as minimal equipment from some production date onwards.

Are these Skyrim furry mods?

fucking-disk

Yeah, the poor thing won’t load even once before it gets nuked from orbit.

Oh, I’m interested in diffident small gossip - I would like to observe chicken politics, and bee politics.

All the disputes, daily fads, coups, 1:1 bonding rituals, etc.

This hurts my brainhole.
Nice.

I need this but in a civilised polandball style.

Well, I only know of one and you’ll need 12 angry men to pull it out.

Or wireguard, depending where & how they want to implement it might be simpler or better/worse on hardware.

People don’t say “install Windows”, they just want their PC to work. And if that PC isn’t for Adobe or kernel-level intrusive anti-cheat money-sucking games, there is no difference (except the spying).

Also the amount of maintenance with Windows after each update isn’t small (software like Shut Up Windows helps with regedits tho).

And most people don’t know what their OS even is.

But no, I’m not giving an iPad to people that want Windows :P.

Two bricks would be made in that case. >!In that PC case.!<

Since I’ve installed openSUSE Tumbleweed to everyone about 5 years ago I’ve actually done literally 0 tech support on that front so I’m superbly happy about that.

With Windows (albeit 7) there was always shit going wrong (not to mention XP before that which I basically regularly reinstalled). With various distros (Ubuntu & Debian mostly, but others too) there were frequent fuckeries of various flavours when upgrading.
