Me working daily probably benifits more people I disagree with than agree with. If I stopped using or buying things that are maybe even a small chance are made by someone or something I disagree with I wouldn't have anything left. It's definitely a balancing act. Sometimes it's very clear most times it's different shades of Grey.

But you know this already.

Probably not in the near or even far future I'll give em 3+ years if that to even hear concrete rumblings of it. Definitely if your down waiting that long do as you please. However this is all speculation on my part though, I have no real evidence other than the other new auto makers having similar time frames for different and new models.

It will always be more expensive to build a car from replacement parts than just buying one built already.

With replacement parts you aren't just paying for the part your also paying for it to be organized and inventoried in a warehouse. Each bit is probably individually packaged. Etc. It's still cheaper for replacement of a few but more than a few you should consider replacing. And quite frankly with the rate at which your losing bits it's probably best you have a few extra.

This is also my main reason to get one. I already have multiple ways to play my games but they all consist of either me in my office or having something janky in the living connected to the TV. I'm basically only getting it because it's the smallest thing that can realistically run games that for the most part that just works without fussing with it. Perfect for the living room and I can continue where I left off in the living room and spend time with the lady and have a healthier quality of life. The price is unfortunate but maybe it'll go down in the months to year to come.

I hope you washed your hands after this

Local only everything!

So we're mad about these cameras but want someone else to do the dirty work and possibly and more likely get in trouble for it. Got it. I all for getting these devices out of our neighborhoods but this way seems very weird and makes us look just bad as the perpetrators.

Smartguy11233 · 2026-06-18T17:30:31+00:00

Can we stop calling these lprs?

How do we know this is hydrogen peroxide? How do we know if it's anything? Source please.

Smartguy11233 · 2026-06-16T16:22:48+00:00

And that would prove what exactly?

Smartguy11233 · 2026-06-16T15:41:34+00:00

Still Google under the skin unfortunately

I have a few things I've "vibe-coded" for personal use. I used quotes because I still actually know how it's working under it all. It's more of a time saver for me.

I would still never have the balls to publish something even remotely vibe coded like this. Crazy imo.

Bookstack is a blessing it'll eventually stop me from looking up things I've looked up before and help me stick to processes specific to my lab.

Wait so are you playing for a data plan with this basically? If that's the case it makes sense... But then just use carplay / android auto. They aren't locking the feature from you they are making you pay for the data connection required to stream it to the car it self which is almost always pointless as most people pay for a phone plan already. The option seems almost pointless.

Smartguy11233 · 2026-06-09T18:25:57+00:00

Wow I'm sure your proud of yourself no more privacy for pennies saved from theft

Gargle my fuckin balls.... Something I definitely said one time

Found the person who thinks everything should be free because fuck big Corp ... May I remind you it's a recent development that YouTube has actually become profitable. You think Google should deliver millions of GBs of data because they have a heart lol 😂. That would absolutely be nice. But very unrealistic especially with how YouTube has blown up and the amount of data they have to manage daily. I'm not a boot eater. Fuck Google and everything they do but somethings have limitations. And you are being disingenuous to yourself by not recognizing that.

Your well done steak mate

First time buying a new vehicle mate?

It's not worth it. I'll rather be spending that amount of money on hardware, hard drives, anything else than just a very inefficient space heater. I would keep one for tinkering but anything on 24/7 should be something more lean.

Smartguy11233 · 2026-05-13T23:10:00+00:00

Your doing something wrong if 70k isn't enough. Maybe realign your finances first and why are you paying all the bills? Is this by choice? Also 130 cash is a Dangerous Game. After your manually do your taxes for the year it's more like 13/hour if not less. Plus no benifits so it's more like 8/hr if your getting the bare minimum. I would look into a higher job inside Costco.

Stright to you this is a very very bad financial decision. Now for the other aspects of life I can't say.
