   Re. Apple, I bought an iPad, took it to another country and gave it to someone. After a few years when they tried to access it, they could not. I contacted support, they wanted to see the purchase receipt before helping to unlock it.

   Our university subscribes to Adobe Products Suit- when all of their functionality can be replicated with FOSS. They sent out a survey about this before they started the subscription and I answered negatively to that, to no avail. So that&#x

   I have a move to the East Bay area planned in next 6-8 months or so, if you can hold out for that long haha.

   I don't think that's the only reason, and it is not by choice either. California weather is more temperate than the rest of the US and it is more suitable for many types of crops compared to the rest of the US.

   Looks like you only read the first page of the draft. There is a whole one and a half page section (2.4. Towards a solution: A taxonomy of data leakage) that describes every kind of leakage the authors considered for this work.

   I totally get it. I never had cigarette or alcohol, and obviously it was hard for me to blend in to certain groups. But then I also found other groups through common interest where I could blend in- video games and even IRL. But still I fee

    I have met more CS graduates who have little clue what's going on beyond what they copy pasted from stackoverflow compared to those who do. Both in the Indian subcontinent and right here in the US. Self-taught folks actually have the c

    I hate the Windows 11 taskbar and using ExplorerPatcher to revert to Windows 10 style. Thankfully ExplorerPatcher is yet to let me down. If it does happen I will probably switch to Chrome OS Flex.

    I am a hardcore PC gamer.. but last Christmas I was at the in-law's place and we had a blast trying out a bunch of stadia pro offerings. So much so that I seriously considered buying FIFA on stadia. I just think there's too much o

    Is the claim that not enough houses are being built or have been built backed up by data? Real estate investors don't seem to have much problem finding homes to turn into rentals.

    Not change your whole like in a drastic manner, but maybe at least live in the 3rd world for a significant amount of time- should be enough of an eye-opener for a lot of people.

    It very much depends on personal experience. I lived in SE Asia for the first 30 years of my life, then moved to the US. There are so many things that Americans and first world people take for granted what would be considered luxury in the

    If there are no vehicles or pedestrians near an intersection, Teslas should be allowed to run stop signs at regular speed, no need to even slow down /s

    That is the genius of it. Cheating in Wordle is so easy that there is no point doing it.. But sharing results etc. has high homophily effect.

    I own two Toyotas myself ;) An 8 year old Corolla that I only occasionally drive, but it never fails to take me from point A to B; another is a new and exciting Highlander hybrid which I only need to fill once every 500 miles.

    I like that. It will be interesting to see how sustainable their brand image is in future given those attributes.

    it makes a mockery of so many absurd rules other manufacturers in the US have to follow. Really raises question how Tesla get away with these.

    Toyota are doing fine because of their reliability. Can the same be said about Tesla?

    I am referring to the early 2000s when half the Hollywood celebs were driving Prius [1]. Prius carried the hype about hybrid cars back then the same way Tesla is doing now for EVs. [1] https://www.autoweek.com/news/a208

    Tesla is basically the 2000s prius. It is cool now, but in near future won't be anymore.

    Kia/Hyundai cars are great. However in recent years there's been more than a few cases of engine fire. I myself had one rental Elantra engine stall on me last year. It was at about 25k miles. On the other hand I have owned a 14 Co
