I hate all of them. They all let people get away with scams (just different ones), and give no shits about their customers as long as they are taking fuckloads of your money.

They're not suing customers. Flippers are buying them, but they're not customers. They're marking the cars up, and immediately selling them to some sucker for more money. The second owner in this case is the true customer, wh

This is exactly what it is. Same thing other manufacturers have done with other high-end cars. Like the Ford GT for example. GM is cancelling warranties on some of their high end cars for the second owners as well to deter flipping. https:

It was so full of security holes though. Someone could just send you an email, and without you even opening it, it would send more email to your other contacts. It was really bad.

It's funny, I see people cover up the webcam on their laptops all the time, but not their phones. They forget that there's a camera on both sides of the phone.

It's not as buggy as you're making it sound. You can keep using Windows all you want. Due to one little edge case. Fine. I'd rather use the buggiest, shittiest window manager than put up with the user-hostility, the ads, the

It's not even that... they aren't recommending Apples at all, but they're going to try to get you to buy something else that is more profitable. It's like going into the store and then they're like "Here's

Google is so fucking dumb. They had the market with Hangouts. Everybody used to be on it. And they fucking burned hangouts users over and over, and now nobody uses it. They blew it, and now they should suck it up and realize they can't

I skipped breakfast for years because I was too lazy to make it. Then I ate fast food and pizza all the time and I still got fat. You're not gonna lose weight just skipping a meal.

I mean, I totally feel you. At the same time, I'm fine with a few ads. But holy balls, YouTube throws so many at you, it's unbearable. And it's the same ones over and over and over. Do they not have very many advertisers, or

Everybody has different side effects. My ADHD meds have basically had horrible effects for me that slowly crept in over a matter of months. Like it was so slow I had no idea it was from the meds. I was on low doses that should not have caus

But here's the thing I don't get. People don't learn how to use them. They won't read the manuals or give a shit. You, reading the manual and learning the car, are the exception. I can't count how many times I'

It's a bummer, but considering that all I had before Starlink was 768down/128kup, this is a godsend. It will never be as good as an actual good wire-line connection, but whatever, that's not really it's point. Anybody wh

It still does. Especially after heat cycling, and taking on all the garbage that gets past the rings, and all the moisture that collects in the crankcase. Maybe sitting on a shelf is fine, but in the engine it definitely will break down. I

Oil changes? How does the ECU know? Only if someone resets the oil change indicator. All you have to do is reset the indicator and not change the oil.

It sucks. There's basically no other choice except a Pixel phone. And even some of them are locked if you buy it through your carrier. I would get some Linux phone even if they aren't perfect, but I have no cell reception, and rel

This is such annoying generalization that is mostly not true. It's just a smug attitude. Tacos get horrible gas mileage and they're every bit as bad for the environment and are not actually any more reliable than an American full

Tacos get the same if not worse mileage than full size trucks most of the time. Then they all put huge tires on them, load them up with $20k in overlanding gear that they never use and hurts gas mileage even worse. Maybe they think they are

It's an extra layer, but is that really another 'factor'? MFA would prevent someone with a compromised key from logging in. Password protected keys do not.

This is an odd comment. Do you think CVS and Walgreens pharmacists working in retail locations have anything to do with the pharmacy lobby? I kinda doubt it. I doubt hourly employees at the stores were clamoring at the bit to have more thin

We ran our own some time ago and worked closely with the state government who also hosted their own email at the time. They had Barracuda e-mail filters that they used, and they would constantly flag our emails to them as spam at random tim
