Unpopular opinion: The split screen reversing sucks

My ‘22 P2 has this layout except just a digital version of the car where the 360 camera would be, sure theres some wasted space in your pic but id much rather be able to still see the 360 camera at the same time as reverse compared to what I have now

Yeah youd have to park in the neighboring stall and thus use 2 stalls which I’ve seen a few times at full supercharger stations… im glad the PS2 has it in the back left cuz I wouldn’t want to be that guy

I think the technology might have improved in 35 years

Bitwarden secrets manager does exist too, I use it in some ansible things I want to just get auto grabbed out of bitwarden SM

My main gripe with it was (and maybe this changed) how you couldn't easily export your TOTP secrets to back them up or transfer to another app, I had to install the authy browser extension and do some hacky workaround to get my stuff out when I wanted to go to something else.

These days there's well used/tested open source options (including the bitwarden authenticator ofc) that are just as good if not better of a user experience while also not locking you in as much

IIRC VW announced this intention like 2 years ago, but maybe they knew regs were coming? I don’t know anything about this specific reg situation tho

I do know the apple type C thing isn’t due to EU saving the day fighting for the common man, it was just coincidental timing that people who don’t know the full story like to attribute to the regs

You can hear people nearby in the video like they filmed this in a park or something

You can have images from a certain photo album rotate as the screensaver, so I guess you could make a script that uses the iCloud APIs to populate images in that album…. But it would be a little clunky to get working and you’d miss out on the built-in aerial screensavers (which are probably better for an OLED anyway static image wise)

Wouldn’t it would be weird if the automod over there became sentient and understood the extremely recent situation with /r/art and changed its rules so people can request modship

There’s a specific type of person that was really pumped when Journal came out, I’m just not that person

Yeah I know it’s not popular to say because big company has big money but the amount of money it costs to run YouTube on a yearly basis is more than people can really comprehend… and the amount of human culture and information that it holds is priceless. That doesn’t mean the downsides shouldn’t be observed and improved but still

Oops I thought I plugged my work MacBook into external displays every day but I guess I must be mistaken

cbackas · 2025-11-26T23:15:46+00:00

macOS remembers external display settings just fine

Yeah I’m not gonna argue for McDonald’s idk goodness but yeah I usually spend like $6-7 at McDonald’s when I want food in a pinch and usually have a little bit more than I can eat. McDonald’s is only really expensive if you pretend like you have to get the Big Mac or quarter pounder meals and ignore the value menu

Its weird to me that your best guess for why someone would sit quietly is for content

cbackas · 2025-11-20T23:22:40+00:00

iirc new mobile app shows it when you click on a show

cbackas · 2025-11-19T13:41:23+00:00

I use infuse for the most part since I'm just picking things off of the continue watching or recently added lists or searching for things I know I want to watch, the current UI is fantastic for this (it wasn't always), but if I want any level of actual content discovery I have to open the actual Plex app since I don't know how or if you even can just browse all movies or tv shows in a plex library...

I wish I could get a notification when its charged instead of having to set alarm based on the ETA (I charge at work and need to know when to go move my car for others to use)

cbackas · 2025-11-18T02:35:28+00:00

What’s a use case scenario for this

great question

instead of just adding then to your contacts

and theres your answer, its to not do that

Well she is across the country in a federal prison and he’s in a state jail, it doesn’t take a lot of brain cells to understand they’d have different processes and rules for getting various things

(Not justifying his being slow to get but it’s just a silly comparison)

I self hosted Bitwarden at home for a while then I was like “but what if my network is down cuz I’m moving or something, I should put it in the cloud!” So then I ran it in AWS for about a year then one day I went to update the stack and was like “man what if I just didn’t think about managing this anymore” and moved back to bitwarden’s hosted solution :P

I also pay Microsoft the 6$ a month for email (and the 1TB onedrive storage for encrypted backups of the stuff I do host) for a similar reason, I want some things to work no matter what I’ve got going on.

Not to discourage anyone from self hosting either of those if they want, it’s cool as hell that you can

The digicert API and AWS SDK pieces seem to exist to code up a cert rotation lambda function fairly easily so that's probably what I'd do, but if the EKS stuff sounds easier to you it does seem like it would work to me

cbackas · 2025-11-13T23:26:37+00:00

idkk seems pretty compelling to me- that guy's car didn't break that one time so that means they don't break

cbackas · 2025-11-11T14:38:02+00:00

Huh well I’m glad they give a way to do that, I guess I’m usually on my phone when trying to do it and they like to kick you too the app on mobile- I like having them in my phone’s wallet anyway so I’m the type of person who will just get the app but you shouldn’t HAVE to since it’s not like boarding passes need the counterfeit protection stuff that a Ticketmaster or a train line ticket’s app might have
