I switched to Google Drive and plan on switching to Syncthing once I get off my lazy ass. I already have some stuff on Syncthing and so far so good.

Not using the brakes isn't particularly good from a maintenance perspective since your brakes will rust and stop working.

There's no ignition in BMWs anymore. Even if you don't go for the full keyless package, the start is still keyless. You just pay extra to have the doors be keyless too.

Probably power-wise, yeah. Most keys only have little coin batteries and people want those to last for years. I have a "smart" BMW car key and it inhales the battery. I don't think it can go more than a couple of weeks withou

Except those guys had it go so far that trying to insure a cheap Kia was extremely expensive, since insurers considered them a toxic asset.

You should probably not use Facebook then. How is it that the answer to an American megacorp trying to hoover all of your personal data is to try to get another American megacorp to add universal barricades to your device?

Wouldn't creating an archive on the filesystem and then deleting the archive cause more writes than just creating it without a delete?

I have a 1000 W e-bike in Europe (Finland). Like a 250 W one, it's road legal and restricted to 25 km/h. The only difference is that I'm required to have liability insurance on it, which is about 100 €/year.

You don't really have to record the phone call. If anyone in the press wants to hear them saying that they don't block legal content, call them and ask about Steam. They have a ready-made PR response that they will read to you.

Amex is only available on Steam in the US. I have a basic free Amex card as a backup, but I wouldn't be able to use it for my Steam purchases. Presumably because the processing fees are just that much higher. Somehow I'm able to u

I'm not American so I've never stepped inside a BestBuy and Walmart. The last place I checked was a Lidl, where they only had the console ones.

I know that physical Steam gift cards exist but I've quite frankly never seen them anywhere. Nintendo/PlayStation/Xbox cards are pretty ubiquitous though. I recently tried getting a Steam one from a grocery store but they onl

There actually was an incident last year where a man fell to his death at a construction site in Helsinki. I think the man's companion said there was a small gap in the fencing at the time. https://yle.fi/a/74-2011

I'd guess the driver since he was using his phone, then dropped it and was scrambling to pick it up when the accident happened.

Most of that $329 million is punitive, not compensatory.

"Autopilot" isn't even the most egregious Tesla marketing term since that honour goes to "Full Self-Driving", which according to the fine text "[does] not make the vehicle autonomous". Tesla's self-dr

My EdgeRouter X just mysteriously died once when I had to reboot it. No idea what happened to it but it just never was accessible through any means. Hopefully the Unifi devices are better since I eventually replaced it with Cloud Gateway Ul

I doubt that Dropbox is able to compete on price against companies like Google, who can bundle all of their Google services in the same package as Google Drive while being able to reduce hosting costs through sheer scale.

I recently used an electric car charger where the charger is controlled by a mobile app that's basically a thin wrapper over a website. Unfortunately I only had a 0.25 Mb/s Internet plan at the time and it took me several minutes
