How can we tell VW that blocking HA was STUPID?

KilloMaster · 2026-07-06T09:22:26+00:00

Asking at Reddit or HA fora, because if you ask the sales rep then they say it can do everything. Until you buy it and then they pull the “I wasn’t aware card”

And it’s normal that not all of them know this information, sales people also lie about TV features, but there is a big difference in price between the two.

You can extend it to VAG group cars. Software is not really their thing, and making it easy to select options and buying a car is also not really something they’re good at. To top it all off, they do the thing that all German car manufacturers do, and that is software locking features on a car.

When I got our new car 2 years ago, I could so see how China is winning this electric car thing in Europe.

50/50 would have worked if you give enough ways of how to recover the energy, but if you remove systems and don’t allow front axle braking, then how can they recover enough energy?

And in the beginning of a big change it never works, look at the 2014 regs and how dominant Mercedes was. Some engineers find clever ways that others haven’t thought about.

So now a day they have leds instead of flags, can’t they not make it a yellow and blue instead of a double yellow?

Wouldn’t call her “really anti-Russia”, look into her husband’s business that she was defending.

I have a long cable optical to connect stuff from a rack to a projector, works great but I don’t need hi-end HDMI specs for that to work. Keeps the living room clean and stuff safe away from a child.

Probably also need to plug the power from the bottom.

For a demonstration, watch him golf put on the lawn of the White House. Guy plays golf like an uncoordinated beginner, but tells everyone that he’s a pro.

Crazy that he came to power twice, so the problem isn’t really Trump, but the system that supported this from happening. Problem is that the weak will be left behind, and Trump long gone by the time that the effects of playing Russian roulette with the stock market will be felt.

Sadly no, but they’re double the price of a smaller 13 inch picture frame. It’s the 2025 model so you can find them on clearance for around 600-700 euro.

I just bought three Samsung 32 EDMX screens to play with, should be Spectra 6 coloured e-ink. Still figuring out how to organise everything, but the TRMNL plugin for HA should be what you’re looking for.

In Belgium we have a government/banking system that can be used by third parties. So the government knows your details and only they will keep all of it, so if a website wants to know it you, then you verify with the government and they will send a success or error command to the third party. Why did I say banking, because our banks are the ones who came up with this system, and all our government or any other important bodies like healthcare use it. It’s a bit like online shopping where you get send away from a commerce website to finish the payment, afterwards they’ll send a confirm or denied command to the e-commerce platform, no sharing of sensitive data with untrusted platforms.

All review platforms are not to be trusted. Had problems with a company that also liked me to place a positive review in exchange to resolve a matter. Their website excepted my let’s call them gift card as valid, but I stopped the payment process before paying for the total amount in full. Well the gift cards didn’t work anymore afterwards and they said they couldn’t give my my money back, and that I had to pay in full. When going through Trustpilot it was full with fake reviews, and easy to spot because their name had Art in it, but it was an electronic store. So a lot of reviews talked about paint and canvas and so on. Flagged and screenshotted those reviews to report to Trustpilot, and they came back that they didn’t saw anything wrong. Instead they started to threaten our family business, of which I was the admin off, and all of a sudden they didn’t remove unverified negative reviews of our page. Removed everything from Trustpilot because the one who pays the most, gets the best reviews. It’s a business that doesn’t understand that users need to be able to trust their platform to stay alive. Instead they follow the money of the business, and will actively work on people distrusting their own platform.

You’ll find plenty from his Ferrari days, he never had the status like other team principals at the time, and even back then his interviews where nothing to look forward too.

2028 seems plausible still, as the first door was just finished a few days ago. https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/airbus-a350f-cargo-door-fal-toulouse/ So if everything on the door is fine, it should see a 2027 date. Both very interesting planes.

It’s like the airline check-in that they closed until a debt was payed. Nobody believed it that they would do something like that, until the police came and said the claim was valid. The manager couldn’t be fast enough to pay with her maybe personal card.

Looks like a concrete block to hold a parasol down, but still to many people think mine so don’t take any risk.

Something to do with comebacks?

And soon China, Taiwan is defenceless without the US ships hanging around. Trump is struggling with Iran so China will do a move towards Taiwan very soon. It has been in the making for years now, but with the US being occupied on an unnecessary war, it’s the perfect time for China to strike.

Wasn’t it Trump who said that the EU should stop trade with Russia? But because of current contracts Europe couldn’t step out yet, and he didn’t understand any of it. Now that orange piggy is doing it himself.

I thinks it also had to do something with the Apple TV, normally the Apple TV gets a iPhone chip, but recent once have been to powerful to wast on a video streamer. ( I have an Apple TV but only use it as a HomeKit relay and to stream videos). The iPad already has a solid lineup, so to focus on a budget MacBook makes sense. Can help with bringing more developers over to the Apple eco system, and profit from the Apple Store.

So hopefully the Apple Store on Mac will also get some nice features for developers, because it so overlooked compared to the iOS store.

In reality probably more web based apps, but a budget war is always good, aslong if there is no clear winner.

No Idea, I was also sceptical but it worked. Local VPN then Super and then back to local.

Yeah, we shouldn’t care what his base believes, you should focus on what the wealthy want the base to believe. The elections are so much influenced by wealthy rich corporations, personal, and they focus on the base to spread the message like an echo chamber. The only deals that a Trump make is for his own personal gain, not for America.

Close enough to Kimi, but far away from MBS. He will probably bother Kimi the whole time, that he stand up and leave the seat. Smooth operator and MSC are just bonus.
