    Why? Nominally an anti TiVo clause is attractive for a community server, no?

    My aftermarket android auto display uses the type c connector for power input - wired directly to raw vehicle power. It will not run on 5v. It doesn't negotiate pd either. It just …

    Don't overcomplicate or overthink, is my advice. You listen to a generally fixed sweet of tracks? Grab them, put them in a folder on your desktop, and open the folder in any old mu…

    Not affiliated, but I've been using kagi's date range filter to similar effect. The difference in results for car maintenance subjects is astounding (and slightly infuriating).

    Dead ringer for the underground sections of Mirror's Edge.

    There's also the issue of lead in the brass nozzle, so you'd probably want to switch to a safer material there.

    In all my meeting software (the usual suspects running in the browser) the mic is always opened at the driver level, even if I'm muted. Perhaps it's to avoid latency when you unmut…

    I standardize all my two wheeled vehicles to the motorcycle layout for this reason. It bothers my push bike friends to an amusing degree but it's much safer for me. Plus I feel I h…

    A page linked from the article ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zLaBRWMSSnjGzMOpoZwUSw_H... ) cites a $4/day rental fee for the equipment, which works out to roughly $120/mont…

    Can't speak for op, but for me it's a question of control. If this service ends up closing or otherwise loses me as a customer, I have to update every single contact and account be…

    I find this part puzzling. I don't have to give a pencil manufacturer rights of any sort to art I make with their product. A notebook seller cares not for such rights either, nor d…

    My first generation bmw i3 is exactly this. Later models got much bigger battery packs.

    I understand that reads can technically cause read disturb, but isn't this normally handled by the controller? My intuition says that the writes caused by block rewrites should not…

    Second this product. I wanted an Ethernet version so I made my own (it's integrated into esphome and the circuit is documented here https://github.com/Kaldek/rat-ratgdo ). Apart fr…

    They've also got a non trivial audio tape collection, found so many interesting artifacts there. Love buying mystery tapes, sometimes you discover fascinating new things.

    Consider also Tube Archivist. If you just want to download a few videos it's overkill, but I use it to archive and index technical channels I like. It can do advanced full text and…

    Does it need to be? Both are bad in my reckoning.

    Maybe not at every intersection, but almost all parks around me have at least one. At least that's my experience in California and Washington State.

    So be it. Going 80+ at night might not be a good idea on most roads.

    Also look into DeArrow. Replaces clickbait titles and thumbnails.

    My experience is similar. I feel like I experience past events more as modifications to my world view rather than a log of moments. I like it, to be honest. I don't need to know th…
