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.

This is like two stumbling drunk parents arguing over who’s better to drive everyone home and telling the kids “shut up you’re not helping!” when they suggest taking a cab.

It’s a place for software that comes from a broken home and would otherwise be hanging out on the street in high-crime areas.

I’m thinking no.

The one comment that unites both liberals and conservatives in their hatred of the left.

You don’t come up with an idea, announce it to the world, and then start figuring out how to implement it.

Maybe in an ideal world but that’s not the world we live in.

Do you really think Amazon wants to pay humans to be cashiers?

No but if they spend a bunch of money and time designing it, spend a bunch of time and money retrofitting stores, and then a bunch of time and money marketing it and the technology doesn’t actually work when it’s ‘showtime,’ I can easily see a company with deep pockets like Amazon faking it all by hiring dirt cheap labor to make it seem like it works rather than the alternative.

Fair enough but I still view it differently than being locked out of using actual OEM features of the car. I do find this unsurprising though based on the metric fuckton of spam you get from SiriusXM after buying any new or used car from a legit dealer.

Your SiriusXM subscription doesn’t go to the manufacturer of the car. This is what they referred to as aftermarket subscriptions in their comment. It isn’t any different than if I subscribe to spotify Snr then connect my phone to the car to use it.

Your Android suggestion will only block ads in your browser. Something like AdGuard or PiHole will also block them everywhere else on the device.

Ad Guard and PiHole won’t block youtube ads because they’re DNS based and youtube ads come from the same DNS as the videos do. I bought a lifetime AdGuard subscription and put it on all our devices and it works well everywhere except Youtube. For that I just use Firefox and UBlock origin to watch videos on my phone and PC. I’ve never been a fan of watching YT on my TV or anything so this works fine for me.

Looks like he just got home from his job in insurance sales.

That’s not a catalytic converter that’s just a resonator (or possibly muffler) to set the exhaust tone. A cat is further up toward the engine and has O2 sensors before and after it. You can probably just clamp it for a while but the proper fix is to have a new resonator/muffler put in or have it cut out and replaced with a section of pipe.

It’s quite interesting to see them make this argument while also claiming that gun control laws can’t possibly work because criminals won’t abide by them.

Wouldn’t a company VPN bypass all that even though you are using your own internet connection to connect to the outside world?

Can’t install extensions on a work machine but you can add a network wide blocker?

*parking brake not emergency brake. Most of these ratchet down and wouldn’t be very useful in an emergency since they’d just cause your rear wheels to lock up and lose traction.

There’s still side mirrors, no? If you’ve ever seen a semi, those are 60 feet long, weigh 80,000lbs and back up without a rear view mirror or backup camera. Acting like this is an issue that’s going to kill people is a bit absurd.

It very clearly says it’ll be using your work hours and location information. MS is turning your hardware into a GPS tracker for your company.

5A is the max rating for USB-C. What you’re looking at is probably a 5A cable with a “10A” molded into the connector in true sketchy knockoff fashion.

To answer OP, USB-C connectors are often used outside of phones/tablets like with hobby electronics like boards to control LED strips that could benefit from more current. Unless this cable is super thick, there’s little chance it can actually handle 10A and even if it can, the connectors aren’t rated for that much current.
