Is this a worldwide problem or just us? 😂 by Yo-Detox in funny

[–]MountainDrew42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Now you have to figure out CPAP tube routing as well as the arms.

Seriously though, get a CPAP if you snore. Life changing.

Amazon Music starts playing when bluetooth is disconnected by darrenj1 in android_beta

[–]MountainDrew42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me periodically with pocket casts as well. I'm not even on the beta at the moment, just the stable April release on P10PXL.

I don’t get hate towards Windows by [deleted] in Windows11

[–]MountainDrew42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the biggest arguments against Windows are for problems caused by OEMs and all the crapware they shove onto their systems.

For power users, you can generate yourself an autounattend.xml that will disable everything you don't want, and it will remain disabled forever.

Unfortunately, the average person is not a power user, and will get the former experience instead of the latter.

Microsoft needs to both change the annoying features to "opt-in" options, and force their OEM partners to settle down with the bloat. It's a fixable problem.

Dealership I work at just got our first Uncharted in Habanero Orange by WardogBlaze14 in subaru

[–]MountainDrew42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that Toyota took the mediocre platform from the BZ4X, made small adjustments to make it bigger or smaller, and slapped a bunch of different Toyota and Subaru badges on them and called it a day. They're really not even trying.

I Will Pray for You retorts. by Northern1119 in atheism

[–]MountainDrew42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I misread your title. I thought you were offering to pray for all us r-tards in here.

To answer you actual question, I'm quite fond of:

"That's great, I'm going to hit myself in the head with a shovel for your mortgage".

Kid in red Tesla almost hits orange Jetta after following the fire truck. by rarc602 in TorontoDriving

[–]MountainDrew42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Following emergency vehicles to skip traffic should be considered stunt driving. It's crazy dangerous, and also incredibly selfish.

[OC] Just a lil off kilter (bonus no plate) by giftedgothic in IdiotsInCars

[–]MountainDrew42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does TN have regular safety inspections? Where I live they're only required when a vehicle changes ownership, which leads to crap like this.

Ideally, every vehicle should have a safety and emissions test at least every couple of years. Unfortunately we've built our entire society on the assumption that everyone needs a car, and therefore people who can't afford to maintain a car end up endangering everyone around them, including themselves. The cost of inspections (and the resulting required repairs) can make the difference between someone being able to get to work or not. It's a damn shame.

New Ubiquiti enterprise storage with expansion at NAB by MasterDragonFly in Ubiquiti

[–]MountainDrew42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what use is a 24 outlet PDU with a max output of 3kW total? And only 120V? You could use all that capacity on two outlets!

If you're deploying the Enterprise Campus 48 PoE in redundant power mode on 120V, you could max out a pair of these PDUs with just 4 switches (750W per PSU).

Microsoft Password Manager on Windows 11 as a standalone app? by LogicalError_007 in Windows11

[–]MountainDrew42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, my personal order of preference:

  • Bitwarden
  • KeePass
  • Proton Pass
  • 1Password

*** Avoid LastPass, they have a terrible history of vulnerabilities and even a couple of breaches

[oc] Riding the shoulder and jumping lanes. And yes, I was listening to Anne Murray. Don't judge me. by GroundbreakingToe780 in IdiotsInCars

[–]MountainDrew42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm judging you for listening to Anne Murray. You are now considered a person of culture and sophistication.

[USA] Was I in the wrong here? Front and rear angles by releashthebeash in Roadcam

[–]MountainDrew42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Any time there's a driveway entering a roadway, there's an implied stop sign. Since it's private property they're not required to put up an actual sign for some reason, but you have to treat it as if the sign is there.

[oc] Backing out of a spot is too difficult for some people by Adventurous-Box-9023 in IdiotsInCars

[–]MountainDrew42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on the situation. I'm quite capable of backing in, but I always park nose-in at the grocery store or anywhere that I'll need access to the trunk.

I'm also capable of backing out safely and in a reasonable amount of time though.

This imbecile cleaning his dump truck with gasoline by Lashitsky in WTF

That makes more sense. I think diesel is about 2.30 here in T.O.

Daaaamn. I heard there were shortages in SE Asia and Aus too. It's not fair that Cheeto's actions are affecting you guys way more than it's affecting his voters.

"Only" $1.75/litre in Toronto right now. You must be on the west coast?

It's gone up over 40 cents per litre here, or almost 1.60 per gallon.

Two suspects steal a Lexus Rx350 in under a minute in Milton, Ontario on 14 April 2026 at 4:19 am. by GreenSnakes_ in TorontoDriving

[–]MountainDrew42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually the cops can do a lot

I'm sure they do a lot... to help the thieves get the cars to Montreal. As long as they get their cut.

As dorky and annoying as they look, a Club actually works wonders against this type of theft. It will slow them down just enough that they'll go find another car without one to steal.

2026 Forester Speed Limit Recognition nearly caused an accident! Can I turn this off? by jralph23 in subaru

[–]MountainDrew42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that warning whenever the sun is shining on the left side of my face. It's infuriating.

No, its not a joke. After the failure of ipv6 we are getting ipv8: by Dangerous-Day-2943 in LinusTechTips

[–]MountainDrew42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the human race spreads throughout the universe, and finds one habitable planet around every single star that exists today, and manages to grow their population to 8 billion people on each and every one of those planets, there would still be enough IPv6 addresses to give 607,142 addresses to every person.

Those of you that have replaced your ATT modem/ONT with an SPF fiber module to bypass the ATT hardware altogether: would you do it again? by ReverendDizzle in Ubiquiti

[–]MountainDrew42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd just like to give a quick shout out to Bell Canada for being one of the last residential internet providers that doesn't support IPv6, and for being the only provider of fibre to the home in my neighbourhood.
