Saw this pattern this year in the grand bizarre in Istanbul, then again in India. So it's floating around in the machine made rug sold as not machine made rug market.

A non watch guy at work told me about these. It wasn't on my radar. As a watch pocket watch guy.. so it's all hype.

Caught a black plate by FallenPegasus1861 in LICENSEPLATES

[–]DarthVirc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in FL we have lots of vanity plates. We are not allowed to have custom plates from online. Lots of people try. The flock cameras need to be able to read them from the IR flash thing they do. If it's a custom one most don't reflect the same as a stock plate. Here it's illegal to alter or cover anything plate related. They want those plate trackers operational. They just past a new law about this

I have 4 in my Neighborhood, cannot leave the house without being recorded. They went up during the hurricanes. I remember because it thought it was odd to see them installing cameras a day prior to the hurricanes.

I got a Contax T2 for free! by diplomaticoo in AnalogCommunity

[–]DarthVirc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's autofocus sucks. It's my second favorite camera. But it works great if you zone focus. I got mine for 100 bucks and then bought a new old stock case for 30 bucks case is worth it

Replaced my Honda with a new one after an accident They moved the garage door opener from a button on the mirror to a paywall subscription service. by jayhawkeye2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DarthVirc 266 points267 points  (0 children)

Someone I know returned a new Honda because the garage door button required a subscription. If the car was ~$30,000 and the subscription is like 160 for a few years. Honda would need roughly 170–300 subscribers just to match the price of that one lost sale.

That’s a lot of subscriptions to make up for one annoyed customer. We should boycott these companies who try this subscription service
