I am 100% certain, that if you go to a Ferrari dealer and buy one of their cars, they will clearly inform you of their rules. Of course you can have a friend to buy it for you, but again, it's Ferraris choice who they want to conduct b

You are free to do whatever, but companies are also free to choose who they conduct business with. In the case of Ferrari, their products are essentially also rolling advertisements, so modifying them goes against what they are trying to se

It's not a bad thing to realize that one can be wrong and then strive for change.

The Ferrari Testarossa (F110) is probably the most beautiful of their line IMHO, hair-rising roar it has too.

Stupid question, but what if you just open an account at a credit union, then have that one connected to plaid? If it needs to see transactions, just have your salary deposited there, then an automatic transfer the same day to your real acc

If you live in the EU and bought the car there, the GDPR still applies, even if data is sent to Toyota in Japan. You have the full right to view and ask for deletion.

There have been an alternative out for a while called Pixelfed ( https://pixelfed.org/ ) Tried it for a while but wasn't enough cats.

Well, implementations of UEFI are all over the board because vendors have their own ideas, that leads to compatibility issues. It is also a security risk, as it is essentially a huge system (compared to BIOS) under the actual OS, compromise

I've noticed it is a quite common attitude in society, not paid enough to care so they don't.

Instead of a gym another options are joining volunteer groups, a fraternity order (Oddfellow / Rebekahs), a local D&D meetup or local motorcycle club. Sharing a common interest is the easiest way to make new friends.

TIL about limiting logs. Very useful, I had no idea.

Considering the name of the crew, the title would be better off with "Pro-Iran regime". It is a small but important difference.

It depends? AFAIK healthcare in UK is tax funded, and smoking with its long list of damages to the body, takes a portion of that taxpayer money which could be used on something underfunded, like mental healthcare.

I mean drugs are also banned, and how does that work out?

It seems weird that Google wouldn't have some kind of observability alert on outgoing email. 10k emails per week is a lot.

Might be an idea to switch to a bank or credit union that have better customer service?

Many commenters blows up here but you have to see this from the non-informed consumer perspective I think. What I mean is, yes, WE know Win11 barely works with 4GB and WE know that 6gb is quite generous for a Linux machine, but they don&#x2

Seems a lot of commenters here dislike their decision, I like it though. LLM-generated projects, articles, blogs are low-effort products lacking authenticity. And the discussion on LLM itself can in the long run be fairly tiring, follow r

The criticism against this decision seem to often miss the point of it IMHO. Let's be realistic, there IS a problem with sideloaded apps being downloaded by ignorant people, and they do get scammed/hacked or whatever. This leads t

Budget-wise it becomes impossible. Coin-operated meters means someone have to come around checking the meter, collect coins, check the parking tickets. One person can only cover so many devices per day. Then you have mechanical maintenance,

No conspiracy here. Brewdog had a loss of 37m GBP last October, and went into something similar to Chapter11(?), american company bought the remains and saved what had any value left. So not really "evil company buys good company and f

If you visit US, I really recommend a detour to the Kennedy Space Center if you can, there's a ton of interesting stuff especially about the Apollo program.

Well, you may not like it, but BK probably have done their research and found that employees positive interaction with customers equals more sales. Yes, there are probably a thousand other actions they could take to increase number of sold
