The people saying it uses your phone’s Internet connection are incorrect. The vehicles have built in cellular modems and connect directly. The OEMs negotiate cellular contracts to provide service in their vehicles with ATT, Verizon, etc.

Features like remote locking/unlocking, etc. would not work if it relied on being connected to a phone.

I can’t use the Internet on Mobile without an adblocker. The user experience is totally unbearable

I’m still waiting for offline bicycle, transit and WALKING directions. Why can’t it tell me which way to walk without internet but it can tell me how to drive a car??

Yeah take away Saidin and Rand is still a master swordsman. He was shielded and killed was able to kill 2 warders, one of them unarmed and the other with the first one’s weapon.

I think GRRM did admit he was taking the piss a bit with that one to be fair to him

He also wrote a short story in which 1 armed Jaimie bested Rand al Thor. You can’t take him seriously

I honestly think a lot of these terms of service agreements are legally unenforceable, but they don’t get contested in court very often.

Like if they say “you consented to the arbitration agreement” I could just argue I never physically signed anything and it was actually my 5 year old who agreed so he could watch TV.

It acts similar to a VPN connection and is able to block network requests to tracking sites/APIs.

Lemmy and Kbin should be pretty interoperable, but Lemmy and Mastodon don’t federate particularly well, or at least, the user experience of federation is not great. The formats are just very different since Mastodon doesn’t have much of a concept of groups or communities and doesn’t have post titles and so on.

But you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon and posts to the community will show up in your Mastodon feed, and you can boost, favorite (upvote), and comment on the post.

My retired mother was trying to look for a new Nintendo Switch dock for my niece. She asked me if she was looking at the right one on Amazon and showed me one with a picture of a real looking Nintendo Switch dock except the logo was blurred out.

I scrolled through the Amazon results and was having trouble figuring which was the real one. instead I went to the official Nintendo store and sent her the link to the switch dock from there.

Amazon is really a horrible user experience for buying anything that isn’t cheap junk.

My fridge is designed to store food and has multiple shelves and drawers. My counters are a flat surface area and I’d rather keep them clear for active uses like cutting, prepping, etc.

There are also appliances competing for space on the counter like coffee machines

I guess there’s the pantry but it’s also just that I’m used to keeping them in the fridge and it’s not like it hurts them to go in the fridge.

Anyway, point is it’s really not that weird to keep them in the fridge

I still put farm fresh eggs in my fridge because it’s just a lot more convenient to store eggs in the fridge than on my counter where I have more limited space

I live in a major American city maybe 4 miles from downtown and I have a farm with fresh eggs and produce a block from my house.

I don’t understand the tab hoarder mentality. I can’t stand having too many tabs open it makes everyone disorganized and less useful.

My workflow is to open random links and searches in private tabs and then when I’m done with the search I just close the window and they’re all gone. I also split subsequt searches up into multiple private windows with a few tabs each so once I find what I need on one search I can close those and have the ones I’m still using ready. If there’s something I need to reference later I can move it over to the regular browser window or bookmark it.

Makes it easier to manage and doesn’t get out of hand that way.

Hard to find exactly that with a Google search but here’s an example of roughly what I was talking about

Not hard to imagine doing the same but with bike lanes and sidewalks

Yup, if a school bus is coming then everyone going the other way better slow down and watch out!

It’s about not making it fit “comfortably”, not that it can’t fit at all. Drivers who feel uncomfortable naturally slow down and pay more attention.

The road can have unnecessary curves that the sidewalks and bike lanes do not.

There are other ways to slow vehicles as well such as chicanes that narrow the street at certain points such that only 1 vehicle can pass fit through it at once, raised crosswalks, etc. There are a lot of ways to design the street to force drivers to slow down and pay attention.

Unfortunately, if drivers have room to speed then it comes at the expense of the well being and safety of everyone else (even other drivers).

I agree that winding culdesacs suck btw, but a street grid doesn’t solve the problem if safety in front of a school. If designed poorly it can make it worse since long straight streets can easily be turned into drag strips of speeding vehicles. Street grids are fine and good, but they should not allow drivers to go faster than is compatible with a pleasant and safe environment for people outside of the vehicles.

Yeah same here. I tried searching a few days ago when another article first came out about this and I couldn’t find anything. Even using the links in the article.

Maybe the products were all removed in response to the article?

It’s buried in the settings, but you are right. Thanks for the tip!

If they could just add album sharing and maybe face/object tagging it would be pretty solid imo
