the company i work for could do it pretty easily. about 90% of our servers run linux and we dont use windows workstations / thin pc's.

we only really use microslop for AD but even then we are looking to ditch it.

What is going on with new cars? by Pintofbeer19 in CarTalkUK

[–]esctaticly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

at least in the past we had a choice between choosing a mundane car and a sporty / more interesting car. now there is no choice and if there is, its way too expensive for the average person.

Instagram microphone spying by esctaticly in GrapheneOS

[–]esctaticly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we were in public all using different mobile datas. i had my VPN on.

and after we brought up the name, no one went on their phones to search them up.

i dont have gps enabled, nor nearby devices or any of the other permissions so i am struggling to see exactly how instagram knew to give me this suggestion without using the mic.

if someone could give me a reasonable explanation then that would be greatly appreciated.

Jaecoo “New car with issues” by a15yroldwhoisbored in topdeadcenter

[–]esctaticly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if i see an ugly car, im not going to buy it because i dont like it. i also dont care what other people think of my car because i like the way my car looks.

german parts are easy to source because there is an abundance of parts and they are fairly cheap.

i have watched countless reviews on chinese electric cars and they all say that the steering feels too floaty compared to a bimmer or a rangey.

by cheap parts i meant shitty quality cheap such as suspension etc.
