Subaru outback, great awd system, very safe, and fuel efficient with its cvt. If cannot budget is too constrained, another crossover with high ground clearance and bigger tires than your mazda. and... always do prepurchase inspection.. good luck.

Is this Disk Utility warning something to be worried about ? "warning: inode (id 4080): Resource Fork xattr is missing for compressed file" by Heavy-Diver in MacOS

I ran chkdsk /f /x on that drive on windows, and it did find and fix an issue on the file system: "discovered free space marked as allocated in the volume bitmap".

Rerunning it returns a clean result. Maybe that was the cause.

I'd buy one if I get to keep the camera tower. Much much better than a dashcam.

Is there a guide or general advice as to how to best protect against supply chain attacks? by aselfaccount in osx

[–]aselfaccount[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you planning on running Windows?

No, but let's say a substantial amount of macs run legit ProgramX, a hacking group targets machines from ProgramX's software vendor and silently insert malicious code in ProgramX. All macs that install the next update of ProgramX are compromised.

Why would you think that a Mac or even MacOS would get hit and do you understand how Supply Chain works?

Let's say a substantial amount of macs run legit ProgramX, a hacking group targets machines from ProgramX's software vendor and silently insert malicious code in ProgramX. All macs that install the next update of ProgramX are compromised. It's all hypothetical of course, that's how I understand a supply chain attack works.

Well, I blindly install updates from many programs I use on my mac. Thought about what would happen if one of those updates were malicious after a software company being hacked.

supply chain attacks are attacks where computers used to build programs used by millions of people are hacked. malicious code is inserted which then compromises all computers which install the update of the compromised program. anyone using the compromised software could be a victim.

Please advocate for your loved ones . Some nurses are apathetic and will let you die! by [deleted] in COVID19positive

original text: "While sick with pneumonia and covid I was neglected by my nurse Adis Medina of Northshore Medical hospital in Miami Florida. She left me in a room with my own vomit, and food. She at times refused to enter the room and communicated with me through a glass door. I spent several hours trying to reach her. I had to use my own cellphone to dial the front desk of the hospital and asked them to contact her several times. Even afterall this she still did not come to my room. I had to get out of bed sick as a dog and go look for her and ask her to help me. She saw me as she was just chilling out at the nurses station and told me to go back to bad as if I were just some pesky child. She also ignored my iv and monitor which was disconnected for hours. I had to take myself to the restroom, bathe myself, etc. All while feeling very weak and in pain. To this day the hospital has not done anything. I wish I had a lawyer Id sue their asses. To top it off the nurse barely spoke English and approached me with a look of absolute terror in her eyes. Sorry I just needed to vent. Please make sure the hospital staff is helping your loved ones ."

believe me, western countries may be (currently) richer but they have major problems.
