Aftermarket means it was supplied by an accessory manufacturer and not the original equipment manufacturer, generally without the OEM's blessing. It's really more of a car term than a computer term.

No he's not saying the data is unavailable, he is saying it is absurd for the police to demand your help in convicting yourself or another.

The Bio/LeR industry is very innovative but also very secretive so I doubt you will find very much about it.

Right, but you aren't going to raise hell if someone makes more money on your work than you did. That's not the attitude of a craftsman, but business folks think in terms of lost potential revenue and junk like that and thus are n

What we really need is a good dialer/sms/mms set of applications and some easy to use USB LTE radios that can do voice and data at the same time. Then we could all be making perfectly usable phones by plugging the parts together a

People used to talk like that when someone suggested they switch from windows to linux. My my, how times have changed... Yes, those things work. You'll want to select hardware that is well supported though for the best experience.

I do not mean this to be mean, it is something that made me feel less stupid and worthless when I was younger. Smart doesn't often succeed all by itself, but hard work usually does. You gotta put in the work if you want the result. Luc

What advertisers? I haven't seen any on mastodon. In fact, I think the network would be actively hostile to their presence.

It absolutely is not broadcast as long as an algorithm is selecting posts for you. Air TV is broadcast. The radio is broadcast. Those platforms do not not selectively choose their audience to maximize engagement. There's no innocent on

What's so wrong with engineering a novel solution to a difficult problem? Are you suggesting that hackers cannot hack behavior and must rely on the medical community?

Thats a reasonable point, but this isn't a standard product. Only one company in the world is making them (of this level of quality and performance), and the market has been far more receptive than they can handle. If you want your new

I buy 4 and 8 packs of rechargeables and 20 and 40 packs of disposables. I handle the rechargeables a lot more, but there are certainly more disposables by count present in my home.

Your preference indicates that you have been captured. They will use it to move you to a platform they control eventually. Maybe you'll like it, but it won't be more free. It will have a ToS.

Thanks for calling out FOSS. Microsoft's open source contributions absolutely do not enhance our freedom to compute how we wish. Nothing they are doing will help you compute ethically, or prevent someone else from imposing their ethics

The explorer firestone tire issue (overheating fuel pump, rollover, boom!), the ZJ grand cherokee fuel tank recall (totally unsafe without a tow hitch installed behind the tank), and the ford pinto come to mind. Heck, on my dads 66 chevy, i
