What exactly are you saying that we CT owners "deserve"? I like my CT. It has served my family well for a year. It's a car, not a political statement. I hope that this kind of vicious sentiment doesn't become mainstream.

I canceled my Spotify premium subscription because they showed sponsored content in the app. Not as egregious as jamming ads in between songs, but I still don’t want to have to scroll past a “sponsored” UI element to get to what I’m actuall

The former. Still get the degree they need for the career they want, but explore other subjects, extracurriculars, sports, exchange programs, etc. I focused almost entirely on "take the hardest CS and math classes" so that I'

by qwerpy 2y ago
I somewhat regret my math degree, which was in addition to my CSE degree. I didn't need to learn complex analysis or Galois theory. I've forgotten all of it. CS was rigorous enough for my 20 years working in software engineering.

Right but in my non-scientific test I found uBlock to work better so I don’t use the Brave blocker. My prediction is that Brave will eventually say that it’s too costly to maintain v2 in their fork and that people should just use the Brave

I use Brave and am satisfied with it. The occasional hassle involved in turning things off when a new unwanted feature shows up or when I have to install it on a new machine is worth it for uBlock Origin and the Chromium performance and com

That’s not enough. Many sites serve ads from the same domains that they serve content from. Google, meta, etc. You need to have extensions that can parse the DOM and remove content from it.

It occasionally helps to get the vandals arrested. Doesn't seem to be deterring the vandalism though, which is what I care about. I want to be able to go about my life without having to worry about coming back to a graffitied/dama

Time for the "source?"-ing. If it is an undisputed fact, then is there any reputable media that plainly states "Elon did a Nazi salute"?
341.
by qwerpy 2y ago
It's wild how "Elon did a Nazi salute" is now taken as an unquestioned truth. Most of the time here, false or exaggerated statements are "source?"-d and nitpicked to death, but not this one because so many people wa

Pro-EV Tesla-owning conservative here. There aren't many of us, and for those of us in a blue city (e.g. Seattle) we now also have to contend with Kristallnacht-like environments for Tesla owners. Politically apathetic Asians are proba

I got a Brother printer (MFC-L2750DWB) entirely because they were the only good guys on the market when it came to this sort of thing. But instead of buying a 3rd party toner cartridge, I reused the original starter cartridge and refilled i

Ok for the most part I'm getting real sick of the politics being shoehorned everywhere but this is genuinely hilarious, even as an American.

I'm in the same boat. I set up wireguard network on my unraid server at my main house. Then set up a network to network bridge to another unraid server at my other house. My devices (really just my phone) can use either a phone to LAN

I have kids and I plan to occasionally leave them with the grandparents, and vacation away from other people's screaming kids.

by qwerpy 2y ago
I have two kids, and I'm firmly in the "why pay extra to be a parent somewhere else" camp while my wife is the opposite. However I have to admit the kids do get a lot out of trips, even if it's draining for me. They alwa

Yes you still do. Sophisticated companies (Amazon, Google, Meta, many others) will serve ads from the same domains that serve the content you actually want. Pihole can't block the ads without blocking everything. Ad blockers are necess

Not every organization can make decent clients/apps. And those that can will embed unblockable ads and dark patterns into them. For example Amazon.com is usable with an adblocker but the Amazon app is a horrific mess of ads. Facebook.c

Brave still works with ublock origin but every month or so they pull a windows and some new Brave feature I don’t want gets turned on or featured in some way. I wonder how long they’ll maintain manifest v2 compatibility. Once they throw in

Cheap way to power the home directly is to get a generator inlet put in ($500-1000) and connect the vehicle to that. You can then use either a vehicle or a gas generator, which is useful during extended outages when you need to top up the c

That's on the higher end of household usage. On the lower end, during a cold windstorm in the PNW I was able to get it down to 600W (15 kWh/day) because I have mostly natural gas appliances. My Cybertruck kept us going for nearly

We had a nearly week long power outage due to a windstorm. Tesla has a power gateway, only usable by Cybertruck for now. that detects grid failures and automatically fails over the entire house to vehicle power. My Cybertruck (123 kWh) kep

It’s even worse than that. My dad didn’t even vote for that side. He just likes the car. And yet he’s “marked”. Very ominous behavior.

They probably should not have offered it in Europe until they figured it out in their home country. Too many different things to handle in all the different countries.

Counterpoint, I helped my father buy a model Y and it helps him do the 2 hour drive to visit his grandchildren. The FSD marketing has been a bit over the top but it’s still the best system by far.

That sound bite successfully spawned hundreds of outraged comments even on this “intellectual” discussion forum.
