The cool thing is that you can make basically any combination of parts into a router if you install Linux or BSD on it. Not terribly helpful for end user consumers that will get shafted by this, but at the end of the day it’s just a small computer.
Otherwise, smuggle some “foreign routers” in from Mexico or Canada like it’s the prohibition era?
It is THE e-commerce site I like to show people what I mean when I say “good UX”. It’s basically perfect. You can find the perfect part in less than 10 clicks, It’s lightning fast, no useless white space, no pop ups or cookie banners. Every site should be built like that.
Zoneminder and Frigate make it very easy to run your own security system without backdoors. It’s not hard, just takes some thought and effort to set up.
People said similar things in Japan in the 90s, and then had three decades without growth. When an asset bubble pops it’s not guaranteed the bubble will blow back up. This is a good strategy of course, but there’s no law of nature that the line always goes up. With the instability and debasement of the US economy it’s the most vulnerable they’ve been in many decades. I hope you’re right, but there’s a terrifying possibility things get even worse.
To be fair, it was a lot dirtier before the last couple weeks of rain rinsed off the layer of crusty salt scunge that was caked onto pretty much everything…
The Mazda rotary dial is awesome. It does 90% of what a touchscreen does, and voice control or a passenger can do the rest. If it can’t be done with three or four clicks of the wheel or Siri, then pull over safely and use the phone.
My old car had an aftermarket touchscreen CarPlay headunit, and I much prefer the buttons and dials on the newer Mazda. Borrowing somebody else’s (usually newer) car with a touchscreen feels like a massive step backwards.
Sadly it looks like they’re also falling for the touchscreen b.s. on the ‘26 year vehicles, big L for safety.
That would work perfectly if he listened to music consisting of a single tone of different volumes…
Only way that could make any sense would be if he was trying to make sure the speakers were in phase. If you’ve ever had one wired backwards there’s an exact spot where you can get them to cancel out, it feels bizarre. But you don’t need to adjust the cones, just wire things the right way lol.
Ah very nice, good to hear they addressed that. It was the only real deciding factor last time I moved my mail around ~2 yrs ago
Fastmail. It’s been around forever and it just works. And they don’t do anything weird with SMTP/IMAP.
mailbox dot org is also pretty good, but I wasn’t a fan of their 2FA implementation.
In Ontario it took $200 of bribes from Doug, Quebec shouldn’t shortchange themselves…
Hybrids use regenerative braking for the majority of their deceleration. There are Priuses (Priui?) with 200K+ kilometres on original brakes. The dust that brake pads shed is fairly harmful, so it’s nice that they produce less.
OM-5 of Panasonic G100 would probably be great for what you need. Can also get used/older micro 3/4 gear for pretty cheap as the other commenter said.
I like to walk around with my GX-85 (sadly discontinued now) and a 14-150 zoom, it’s a very good combo. 12-100 is better, but more $. Even the kit 12-32 is a surprisingly good lens.
A wireless router consumes single digit watts of power. A tablet or mobile phone consumes 1/10 or less of that. Making a slice of toast and a cup of tea uses more power than both of those devices all day combined. This is another silly attempt to shift blame from corporations and billionaires down to consumers and everyday people. Don’t buy it.
Certain things are fairly easy to detect like wheel imbalance vibration or a bad muffler sounds. but there’s so many “vibes plus experience” things that I don’t think software will catch. The human brain is exceptionally good at picking signal out of noise, and “feeling” a bad set of tires or an old timer being able to “hear” how healthy your motor is, aren’t really things you can teach an algorithm.
I’m sure somebody will try to predict failures, but it might not go well. Surely it will be used to gouge consumers, and of course the owners of self-driving cars won’t know any better.
100% agree. I love driving, road trips, windy roads, and take pride in having a clean and well maintained car. But I despise the car-centrality of most western cities. Any chance I get, I park well outside a big city and take a train in. It’s almost always faster and far less stressful. Even though I can parallel park, yield to cyclists, not run over pedestrians, and safely follow the rules of the road, most other people can’t or won’t because of how normalized bad driving is. Even worse, most people don’t really want to be driving and do it simply because their job/home are not properly accessible, so they have no other choice.
2 door hatchbacks need to come back. And colours, specifically red. I blame the insurance industry for the decimation of both.
Commuter rail is hilarious for this. All the same people that were in orderly lines, holding doors open, giving seats to older or disabled people, and saying “oh you go first” for the last hour spend thirty seconds back in the “safety” of their white SUV and they’re acting like absolute animals to all the same strangers.
GOAT vehicle. It’s purely functional in pristine egg form. Bulletproof drivetrain. Comfy as hell, even by today’s standards. If one ever comes up on autotrader in good condition I’m buying one.
He was most likely a real guy. But a guy Christian’s would absolutely hate: a brown Communist Palestinian who hung out with prostitutes, lepers, pariahs, refuted the legitimacy of the state, and organized massive mutual aid events to feed the poor. Probably a good dude. It’s a shame his followers are dicks though.
You’ll always catch me strapped with a F-91W
