I assume you joke here but large parts of the car enthusiast community are considering this strategy for near term. 2010s is widely argued to be era of "peak car" in terms of vehicles that are well built with minimal complex extra

Exact same experience here. In the 2010s I ran my own VPN exit node on a dirt cheap VPS so I could access streaming content in my country of birth. Worked great for years, but nowadays so many sites simply block non-residential IP ranges th

This technique of pressing the dead key to the starter button works for quite a lot of brands, not just Stellantis vehicles. Always worth trying if you are in a "keyless" car with a dead key fob battery. In my experience virtually

While it's easy to dismiss some of these as niche, many of them such as file system access and USB device support would completely change how some software could be delivered. By not supporting these, one is forced to make a native app

Depends of course upon which UK legal system we are discussing... The right to roam provided in Scotland under Scots law is often cited as one of the best examples of the concept. The UK is more than just England etc.

It doesn’t negate the issue at all, especially as sdkman is an optional extra tool. If working with others, that default is not always going to be the one your team develops against either. If you are just trying to pick a jdk and don’t eve

I don't find this particularly egregious - Google has long required ALL apps on the Android store to provide a privacy policy, even if they collect no data whatsoever. A privacy policy can help confirm the absence of data collection as

The TV License check is purely an honor based system for now - you can simply say yes and no further inquiry is made, it does not ask for any kind of reference. I suspect this changes in next few years once they finally decide on what TV li

The best option is just to assume any IPCam is unsafe and firewall them off in my experience; even with a fully open source camera stack connecting it directly to internet is not that great a practice. Put them on a no internet access VLAN
