Up until a mere few years ago the entire Makita tools warranty registration database was coming up in Google searches. All you had to do was take whatever person's info you got in your search result and incriment the number in the url to go through the whole database person by person. I emailed their support many times and they did nothing - eventually found a legal email and then the same thing happened like you had - fixed in a day, never even got a thank you (or a truck of free tools delivered 😂). I was surprised to see such a poorly designed system in the year it was.
Just got a HPWH too - I joked that we should put it in the bathroom and then it basically just recycles my heat in the room for infinite free shower hot water!
Not sure you'd want to be constantly writing to the internal storage of these on every drive like a dashcam - it can be hard on memory to be constantly written like that (hence often using high endurance SD cards in dashcams and having the ability to replace those when they kick the bucket with wear). Plus, a good dashcam would have front and back facing cameras and these would only see what you do.
That being said - I know some people who use the Gen 1 glasses to record things like racing cars and flying airplanes and the footage is bloody awesome from the driver perspective like that. I'd love to see the Gen 2 somehow safely incorporate a HUD for example.
IP banning in this day and age is crazy. Years ago I opened my app on hospital WiFi and instantly both of my accounts in there were banned for "ban evasion". Clearly someone used that IP address to get banned and now everyone using the public WiFi there is just getting banned.
It also made it clear that a big part of shutting down third party clients was so they could track us better. Made evident the minute my personal and work reddit accounts were banned together even though I never switched to the other login at all. With that move they could tie everyone's throwaways back to their real accounts.
A lot more than America becomes fucked when tiktok becomes owned by these guys. It'll become their global platform to radicalize youth Nazis from one corner of the globe to another. Time to hope the youth outside America are smart enough to see thorough this, but if our recent Canadian election was any indication then they are not.
Anything of this nature announced over the next little while has like a 70% chance of being related to the huge Salesloft/Drift hack. The wording here makes me wonder if it's also the cause for plex.
Literally zero issues with modern EVs and winters. I know someone who has two and both him and his wife commute a great distance every day of the year in them, for many years now. Sounds like you've believed some random Facebook anti-ev propaganda without fact checking it?
Haven't had a need to open one the entire time I've been on the OS! Other than for my own development needs, but that's my own use case and nothing to do with operating the OS as a user.
Having switched many relatives to Linux recently too, Mint will be your best jumping off point for a familiar feel and pain free experience as someone new to Linux. If you love that and find yourself wanting more, then the world is your oyster! I started on Mint and ultimately settled on Fedora Plasma after trying out a half dozen different options.
Yeah that's a good point in a sense. Mechanically I think they're a lot less repairable (or at least a lot less at home repairable), but from the angle of needing repairs, they also need less repairs because most of what tends to fail on ICE vehicles is all the mechanical stuff attached to the engine. Even on my hybrid I repair a ton less and my mechanic said that because all the accessories are electronic since they can't be belt/chain driven because the engine is off half the time that they're ultimately more reliable in the end - it's the mechanical aspects of them that fail on ICE vehicles.
The diversification that world markets are going through right now is wonderful tbh. Even at such a small level, we're getting so much great stuff at the grocery store to replace all the American brands my country has all but rejected now. Love seeing it at the enterprise level too, we might see a lot of other countries start having growing tech industries in their regions now.
I've converted a ton of my older family to Linux, it does everything they need as far as web browsing and some basic office applications, and it offers a polished enough UI these days that most barely tell it apart from windows, some even prefer the UI more. Even 2/3 of our home systems have gone full Linux now too (no more dual booting) and handle all my own gaming, audio and programming needs. I really hope this message keeps getting out there and we can cut back on ewaste and forced obselence.
I've never looked at theirs, but I know it's not uncommon for large entities to have handles on big sites just to reserve the real estate so imposters/scammers/bad actors don't move in and take those names.

His plan to cut funding? You mean the plan to put $150mil into CBC?
Kids will be out there studying for their ham radio licenses to setup wireless long range packet networks and bbs's just to exchange porn lol
Gonna end up with a country-wide rogue WiFi mesh network setup that's fed from neighboring countries haha

I have so many questions about this too.. Commenting to come back later for the answer.
Argue enough and you can sometimes even get the full term back! I did! Really laid into them about their union busting and political donations.
Man, what sort of
