I got a very realistic one a while ago. It automatically activates when I open my front door. Very high resolution, multiplayer game play needs improvement.
There's something very analogue about this site. Relaxing in a way. Thanks for this.
(slight improvement for weather effects - they don't always move in the direction of the train)
I don't really get Finland. It says Finland–Helsinki Airport, but the stops say Lempäälä and Toijala. Those are about 150km from Helsinki Airport and there is no direct train between them (Lempäälä/Toijala and Helsinki Airport).
The videos are picked off YouTube and run in random directions, left or right.
I agree it's annoying there's no way to toggle the orientation of the chairs though, especially since clicking random 6 times got me 5 videos in the "wrong" direction and only one the right away around.
How can I select a specific line in a country? I keep getting new (random) lines when I click on the same country again, is there any way to actually choose a specific line?
As an example, UK law: you can legally photograph/video anyone in a public place, without their consent. Limitations to this exist, e.g. if the person feels they're being stalked or harassed, they can complain, and you could be arrested for breach of the peace.
Generally speaking it's illegal in EU due to GDPR. The major issue is Article 13. When you obtain personal data directly from data subject (which is what would happen when you record video) you need to give them the information that Article 13 requires.
Basically the only exceptions to this come from Article 23 (which is unlikely to apply) and Article 85. Article 85 covers "journalistic purposes or the purpose of academic artistic or literary expression", but it requires separate law in Member State and these then set out the requirements what actually qualifies under it. The standards for that tend to be much stricter than US' First Amendment (which allows essentially anyone to say that they are press).
(Hi, I'm a moderator here.) A comment like this breaks the site guidelines, so if you wouldn't mind reading https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules, we'd appreciate it.
I have to add, though: if you meant this as a joke, it's actually really funny! So it's a bit of a Shrödinger cat I suppose.
I've never seen such empty flights/trains in my life.
You don't need a simulator I think these are the best walking videos on the internet.
Also given your name it's funny because the Lemmings game is also essentially a walking simulator.
