Having your router limit internet connectivity time is effectively the same thing these days. There are some things they can do offline but not much anymore.
Yeah I get it. It turns out subscription services are everywhere and have been for quite some time so there's no need to really inform people about the pros and cons at this point.
Sure I don't own the games. But then again, I don't tend to replay old games ever. There are SO MANY new games coming out all the time, I've never understood the urge to go back and replay an old game. Chances are there's a new game out there that's the same idea but better.
My only point here is that GamePass Ultimate is basically paying more to have access on Windows AND Xbox and I don't use the Windows version anymore. It will save me money when it's time to renew. Hooray linux!
It's one of my only regrets from switching to linux full time last summer: the PC side of my GamePass Ultimate subscription is now useless because it requires Windows. I get it, but it still bums me out.
On the plus side, I prepaid using some crazy scam/exploit/deal/whatever from SlickDeals so it cost me like less than $100 for three years. And since I still use it on my Xbox regularly, I feel like it was still a... ... slick deal.
Short version: How do I install apps onto a different partition from the default in Pop_OS! (preferably from within the Pop Shop GUI)?
Long version: I have a dual boot with Windows and I shrunk my Win partition to install linux and eventually realized I wanted more space on the linux side so I shrunk my windows partition again. But Linux won't let me grow the existing partition since the free space isn't contiguous. Since I don't want to reinstall everything, I just created a data partition and have been using that for Steam installs. But I am still running low so yeah, looking to move some apps and realized it doesn't actually ask me where to install when I install. I saw this thread and figured I'd just ask.
Pretty sure they said they will have access to the Supercharger network. I don't see Tesla adding card readers to every supercharger. I think it's far more likely that the cars will talk to the superchargers just like Teslas do.
I guess my point is that you don't really DO anything. You don't have to fire up an app and log in and shit. The charger talks to the car when you plug it in and it just goes. Not sure what your hang-up is with apps (no judgement here, but clearly there is one) but in this case it's pretty seamless and a lot more convenient than some other custom payment apps.
I've only ever used Superchargers (I have a PHEV, but there's no need to charge that away from home). The Supercharger just talks directly to the car and handles it through your Tesla account/app. Once most cars are using the NACS connector in a year or two, I assume this will be how it works for them too.
At first I was like "oh that's dope, they're sending it to all owners, not just providing them for new cars purchased after the announcement." Then I realized they kept saying "eligible owners" and nowhere does it specify what eligible means. So I will reserve judgement for now.
I'm curious why this article is framed like Ford is doing someone a favor rather than Ecolab making a large purchase from Ford. Ecolab should be getting credit for shifting to electric. Not Ford getting credit for... selling stuff to people... you know, that thing is does every day.
My issue with the Volt is just that is was really crappy to be inside. It was a terrible Chevy interior combined with lack of space due to them trying to fit batteries into a platform that wasn't designed for it.
Yes, it was great on paper. But when it came time to test drive one I was really turned off.
Chevy should indeed bring back a PHEV option because they're just the most sensible choice for the most people until the charging infrastructure gets better. But the Volt kinda sucked so they should do something better like the Bolt.
You can just get an adapter. I have a Tesla wall connector and it works fine with my non-Tesla and a $100 adapter.
The problem is that you can't use the Superchargers with an adapter. You can use the non-Supercharger ones... I forget what they're called... but not the Supercharger because of how it handles the money aspect.

Personally, I'd use the router to limit access to locations and times. It's more reliable, easier to do, and lets you be less picky with your distro.
Using a DNS level content blocker like Adblock DNS is a great option, IMHO, and is super easy to setup.

I shrunk my Win10 partition from within Windows to make space to dual boot into linux so you definitely can shrink an active partition.

Rule of thumb: if a headline is a yes or no question, the answer is always no.
Do you still do this by just pressing enter when you change your password? (i.e. entering no password as your password)

Another blast from the past! I used to use EAC to rip CD's for waffles.fm. You know, perfectly legally...

I've always been partial to "wintermute". Not many people will get that reference these days.

Oh, cool then. Thanks, I don't use Xwitter so I would have never seen that. lol

That's how every PHEV works...

In case we needed another reason to hate dealers...
