Could we just like... have a standard for this already? Instead of two proprietary protocols that do the exact same thing... All it is, is a display and touch screen.

A good example is when I go to the late night drags at Portland International Raceway. It costs like $70 to get an NHRA license for a year then each event is like $30. Then you can run down the drag strip over and over and over. Meanwhile l

Drag racing is a lot less strict on noise. Your car would get kicked out of a lot of races. Even the 24 Hours of Lemons has noise limits. Most sanctioning bodies do because they don't want to get noise complaints from neighbors who mov

People in sideshows aren't in the car scene. They're people being idiots in cars. Lots of them in their parents cars. You rarely see any real enthusiast cars at these events. Just mom's stock BMW or Dad's charger. They

I've had similar experiences with MacOS. I uncheck that goddamn box all the time and still it relaunches previously opened applications half the time. If my application or computer crashes, I don't want the crashy application to o

If we never noticed it, do we even need it? I don't use FaceTime, but have never been bothered by where people are looking in any other video conferencing software.

Using GMRS requires a $15 license that has no test and is good for 10 years. But nobody ever gets the license. GMRS is constantly full of chatter everywhere you go. Nobody ever mentions needing to get a license. You see YouTubers constantly

It's even simpler if you have an HT with a Bluetooth KISS TNC. You just pair the radio to an Android device, and run APRSDroid and off you go. No cables or configuration of a PC needed. The B-tech UV-PRO and VGC VR-N76 just got firmwar

I'd rather have specialized robots that do a particular thing well, rather than some crappy humanoid robot that can't do anything well. Being humanoid shaped just limits them to being worse than humans at human things. I already h

Go buy a console if you want a AAA experience or just don't play it. Jesus christ the complaining about a free game that someone built for fun is unbelievable.

It reads like a comment from someone who has never experienced depression. just exercise! just eat healthy! just relax! just don't ruminate! just be not depressed! So easy when you're not depressed. Fucking impossible for a lot o

It's true that a lot of people medicate themselves in various ways. It doesnt mean an SSRI doesn't work for a lot of people. This sounds like a very dismissive statement.

When I was taking busiprone, it would give me zaps about 30-45 minutes after taking it. Its pretty much the main reason I quit taking it. Nobody could tell me WTF it was or why it was happening. Not something you want when you already have

It's not just modern devs, this has been an issue on Windows for a long as I can remember. There have been cache cleaners, registry cleaners, etc for as long as I can remember. Devs installing shit in the root of my C drive since the W

People call Safeway "Safeway's" all the time. This one kinda drives me crazy. Fred Meyer is also not "Fred Meyer's" but at least I can see why that would happen. Then you have Vons, which used to be "Von&#

I ran Ubuntu on a Surface Pro 2 like 6 years ago. Touchscreen seems to work as well as Windows as far as I can tell.

I still don't get why wheels even need drivers at this point. It's 2024 and even with a legit version of Windows, there are all kinds of problems with all different wheels and all different games. We have a couple of axes and a bu

I haven't seen one either. But I haven't needed to connect to a public WiFi point in years. That might be the difference. Usually where there is public WiFi I can just tether on my own phone.

Just go get an old car tape deck from the junk yard. A lot of them will have a built in amp, RCA output, and run on 12v, and is very compact. My garage stereo for years was an old Blaupunkt CD player with an aux in. I mounted it on the bott

Don't forget about their massive trash site "Underscore" or whatever that is purely designed to get people to click affiliate links. No fucking integrity.

There are so many laptops that Linux works great on right out of the box. I've used it on brand new models straight from Dell/Lenovo/HP etc and it's worked out of the box. It's weird to me that you call out Linux fo
