If you think that’s bad, my Denon receiver had to update itself which for some reason fails 100% of the time when using wifi so I had to find the longest ethernet cable I have to connect into the back (or disconnect 20+ wires from the back to move it closer to the network switch) so that it could finish downloading the firmware and complete the update before it would start working again.

I imagine it’s possible but it sounds like they’re going after low hanging fruit like streaming sites and it also states that they can’t prevent people from using VPNs to get around the blocking.

Actually most vehicles are only 1-wheel drive unless they have a locker or similar installed (4x4 would be “2-wheel drive”).

With EVs I think the criticism is valid. The government is selling them at a loss using slave labor and it’s impossible to compete with that. The rest I pretty much agree. There’s too much idiotic “traditionalism” here in the US that’s holding us back in many sectors while countries like China play the long game and will crush us in that area at some point in the future.

Whatever happened to that guy who would include the Creative Commons license as a signature in every comment with the false belief that it would stop anyone from using them to train LLMs?

And I, Load Chodington, will be your arch nemesis and steal all your roles.

I buy Anker cables and they hold up really well to my kid’s cable abuse. They have a braided sheath around them.

It’s not EV credits it’s “cap and trade” carbon credits that they’re selling.

Don’t forget about all the searches for #Democrats and the like mysteriously returning zero results.

Or you’re a government with endless funds at your disposal.

How much are you paying for that if you don’t mind my asking? I looked into seedboxes very briefly in the past and they typically didn’t offer much storage. It was either lots of storage and little bandwidth or lots of bandwidth and little storage when looking at options to configure some sort of remote media server.

I thought that name was already taken by the chasm in between his ears.

Yeah I’m inclined to believe it based on the actions of numerous other police departments, but I’m also highly skeptical of it because of things like his message about if they find him dead naming not only the Fresno Sheriff but also his neighbor and a coworker. If I came across this on Facebook I for sure would write this guy off.

I do find it odd they ruled his death a suicide but then stated that he had three separate stab wounds to the chest. I have a hard time believing that someone could do that to themselves a second or third time, but who knows.

In my experience with hexbear and the like, “pro capitaist” just means they aren’t posting 100% negativity about the US or west in general.

Can you get around this by changing your DNS? I thought that’s the primary way ISPs can control your traffic (though I only enough about this stuff to be dangerous)

Yeah I’m just lazy and it would be a pain. I’ve actually already added a whole new circuit in the garage for a welder. It’s just easier if everything is already there.

You probably still can if you buy conventional oil but most cars require synthetic and the cost savings isn’t worth the risk and worse protection.

You don’t need a flat surface. I do mine in my sloped driveway. Just be careful with the jack (or use ramps) and be sure you’re filling with the proper amount. Can’t help much with the weather though other than suggesting you get really fast at it (I can do it in about 10 minutes easily) and use some scrap cardboard boxes to lay on.

I wish my house had these for lights and all the other crap I have plugged in high up on a shelf.

99% of my IoT stuff runs 2.4GHz only (except the Zigbee and ZWave stuff) so looks like I’ll still need it for years to come.
