IIUC, "Content ID claims" are not actual DMCA takedown notices (or similar) and thus filing them in bad faith isn't perjury. Youtube's T&Cs likely shield them from liability to a large extent. You might be able to ge

I appreciate the value of time, but the reality of Dropbox and similar commercial solutions is that they're constantly changing and forcing their customers to deal with those changes. A good self-hosted stack may take more up-front eff

Is it or is it not true that EVs shed tire rubber particles at a significantly higher rate than like-for-like ICE vehicles? I said it was low-hanging fruit because it's my understanding that it is: since EVs (again, correct me if I&#x2

Limiting EV torque off the line is probably one of the lowest-hanging emissions reduction fruits out there, given that (by estimates I've seen) tire wear for current EVs is in aggregate 20-50% faster than ICE vehicles.
