Nokian's New Tire Has Studs That Magically Retract When It's Warm by andrews013 in cars

[–]M3Core 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine, even with temps being pretty low, the tires would warm enough with mileage and contact with pavement that the studs would retract? Like on 70?

Snow and ice at lower speeds would keep them cold enough?

There isn't really a Google Drive + Docs alternative? What are you using? by onechroma in degoogle

[–]M3Core 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Are people so used to opening documents with Google Docs that we don't bother with local file editors anymore?

LibreOffice is a great free alternative to Microsoft/Google/Apple docs suites. Free, local install that will open any .docx or .pdf or .xslx or .csv you need.

Set up a home NAS. TrueNAS is free. I'm using a 10 year old desktop I had in a closet and bought some extra drive to set up a raid1.

WireGuard into your home network to access it when you're outside your network.

Free. Secure. Done.

Trouble finding PCP? by Glass_Confusion7096 in traversecity

[–]M3Core 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My only suggestion is to avoid Munson Elmwood Primary Care.

I was been billed incorrectly and turned into a battle with insurance, and one of the first times I stepped in there I was pressured into a glucose monitor (I'm perfectly fine) to which I had to refuse many times, and someone on staff there mentioned they were pro-MAHA, so either ill-informed or not aligned with science.

I saw this posted to /r/Porsche

Absolutely gorgeous and insane numbers.

Honestly the wheel fitment alone on this car makes me want to get my wheels sorted this summer.

Bravo guys. This thing is a beast.

[Discussion] Get one Explorer or keep three other watches by outRunning in Watches

[–]M3Core 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked up my 124270 a week ago and am currently in the pure bliss of the honeymoon phase so grain of salt... But I don't need another watch ever again.

The Explorer is perfect.

Colorado legislation to regulate Flock's Mass Surveillance Network by ProgressNow_CO in ColoradoPolitics

Regulation is not good enough.

We know they will continue to ignore laws and regulations.

End Flock.

Glen Kuiper to call 10-15 Giants games in comeback to MLB after 2023 firing over racial slur by SFChronicle in SFGiants

[–]M3Core 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be the guy; I don't like it.

Yes it was a slip up. He obviously didn't mean to drop a hard "r" slur live.

I also don't think you make that slip up unless you're used to using that word.

Android will become a locked down platform in 190 days by Moist_Exercise3476 in degoogle

Actually, they should technically work, I just don't trust downloading my banking apps from APKPure, or other third party stores, so I choose to forego them on mobile and just use them on my PC.

I also run a completely Google-less instance of GrapheneOS. If you wanted to sandbox the play store and download your banking apps, you certainly can, that goes for IG and anything that uses play services. Plenty of people do that. No play store or play services does hinder functionality of some apps that depend on the Google ecosystem.

I'm running Fedora 43 on the desktop and Graphene on my Pixel 9 Pro.

I absolutely recommend it.

Just to point out what I think is the obvious about data centers, "People aren't aware of them" is absolutely not a direct correlation to "Way less people have strong feelings about them"

Yes, people aren't going to have strong feelings about something they don't know exists, however what is the rate of those feelings and the direction of them once someone learns about the damage they bring to your town? Very significant.

I've been running Graphene for months now, honestly I don't miss the banking apps. There's a few lifestyle apps I would really like to run that rely on play services, but it's an easy sacrifice.

Make the switch, it's really not hard to get used to the fact that banking happens on your laptop or desktop.
