More like wasting space and time. GTFO the way.

You want to sit and chat with someone, go to where there is space to sit and chat instead of inconveniencing everyone.

This is my workplace, but with literally everything, not just code.

Not to mention mugs with crowdstrike branding on them, but only for 1/3 the invited people.

Pull the battery and clean it separate from the mower. Anywhere near the shaft or battery compartment wash without high pressure, the rest, blast away.

I think there’s a third category, though may be a small offset of the first. Those who would like to, but don’t have the day off and can’t afford it.

Should have given him a USB with write protected password in text file. Tell him to keep it on his person

Holy shit, that’s some sketch there. When you decide the least incriminating thing is to say nothing and abscond with a drive… damn.

And the 8" were probably the cheapest.

So, as always in government, you get the minimum that satisfies the contract.

Depends what the definition of “best” is.

In capitalism “best” is the most profit for the least time and effort.

Let’s be honest here: they hate that the companies are jerking them around and using bullshit programs to cause even more problems, instead of employing people to solve the problems.

They definitely can. The Chevy volt complies to the standard, but anything outside (ie to do with the battery diagnostics, or electric propulsion system) is behind a completely different protocol where most normal readers won’t read.

Considering how every company is trying to paywall everything, I don’t doubt they’ll continue to push the “limit” further and further from any standard.

The bigger problem is, being ALLOWED to plug in your laptop and delve through the logs.

The right to repair has died with manufacturers following in Tesla footsteps, who is following the guidebook from apple.

But a child process is already a child, not an unborn fetus. So they don’t care.

Nice. And then soon it’ll be “watch this add to take the fastest route”.

Then “subscribe for an add free experience” without subscription you get the add, as well as navigation that requires you to drive to a detoured location and take a picture of said location before continuing on to your destination (or yet another detour add, if the trip is long enough).

Look at us, peak civilization here.

Depends on what you need.

I use my truck about the same as you. But get 13mpg towing, and 18 not.

1995 Ford 250 PSD.

It’s not comfortable, it’s not fast, it’s not fancy. But it’ll pull whatever I put behind it. Carry almost anything I will ever need to (definitely more than I want to physically unload), and it’s economical, and “future proof” in that I can modify in almost any way and still register without new diesel problems (high pressure pumps eating the entire system, def fluid and filter plugging, egr cooler plugging etc.)

Personally I’d say get an older diesel that is in ok shape that you can make what you need.

Gauge pressure not absolute

It’s not the right choice, but alcohol has been doing well for me for this.

Dad died last year due to what I feel is my fault…

Sounds like it’s the opposite of unsafe for the companies continued profits.

Is it ok to be cautious? Yes! But mostly when you want to setup your own system and record or monitor your own premises. In which case you can select systems or cameras that have features and functionality, as well as connectivity, in ways you decide.

You want to use the ring app to be notified someone is at your door? You’re gonna have to give their system access to the video. But, you can also setup your own system without ring, and use self hosted tools to do essentially the same thing.

As for being cautious that cameras on the street are tracking you? Hard to really do anything about that (even though the effort required would be prohibitively immense to track an individual through all the various systems).

Second note, the metal pipe has to be continuously metal from at minimum where it enters the house, don’t trust that if you see a metal water pipe (or drain pipe) that it’s grounded.
