My neighbours were like that. I saw them walk their dogs once in 10 years.

Their dogs are long gone and mine turns 18 in July.

That's right. It needs to have a RWC when you transfer it into you name, and it never gets checked after that.

You'd think from the $900 it costs to register a car for a year, there would be a budget to have a mechanic look over it for 20 minutes.

Melbourne, Australia: Zero inspections ever.

I purchased a used car a decade ago and I have never had a mechanic service it or inspect it. I had a proper shop do a head gasket swap 5 years ago and I legit think I could have done a better job just reading the workshop manual and having a go.

It won't get forced into a roadworthy check unless a cop pulls me over for something super obvious like smoke billowing out the side.

I know someone who bought a car second-hand and onsold it 5 years later with the same oil that was originally in it.

Almost all of selfhosting is editing config files, setting permissions and starting/stopping services.

Setting it up so you can administer a server by desktop is probably as hard as learning how to edit config files from a terminal. Maybe harder.

I stopped reading when it started suggesting VPNs. Your're far more likely to be profiled by a VPN provider than your ISP.

Privacy is not a product you can purchase.

Why would you go to Japan to live like a Muslim? I would imagine most Japanese would rather see their population shrink.

I like it, but it's a desktop layout and they'll get no adoption until it's available as a native mobile app

My work PC is so locked down these days that social media happens on my phone even when I'm at my desk.

I can be absolutely certain no apps can access my mic in the background. Even when in the foreground, there is a hot-mic indicator.

This guy just walks fresh onto the scene and starts dropping better observational comedy than I see from people with 20+ years of experience on both platforms.

It's "com.android.calculator2" which suggests it's the AOSP calculator or a close fork of it.

I have no issues with it. It calculates. That's all I need it to do.

It's such an easy fix too. Create a separate wall that only contains your friends' OC (not reshared garbage).

It's about 3 posts per day for someone with 200 friends, but I'd take it.

You'd think they would make it increment every half mile instead of doing something stupid like this.

It took me a while to find a toothpaste that didn't foam up, but had decent fluoride content. The foaming agent is usually SLES, and the brands that remove it are often hippies who also remove the fluoride too. I'm currently using Clinica imported from Japan because everything my country makes is basically a mouthful of suds.

Not because of advancements in technology, but because of erosion of regulations.

Ray tracing at 24fps is not a big ask for a modern gaming PC.

$345,000?

That's like, 2 devs and an 8 CPU VM.

That, and "public safety".

So, the manufacturers can pollute as much as they want and push the guilt on us?

This is a regulatory problem on the supplier side, not a consumer problem.

It's a reasonable assumption that someone in China is Chinese.

Google has found exactly what you're searching for. It's just they can make more money by suggesting something else.
