Maybe try getting an MEP for Greens/EFA or the Left?

Isn’t the master branch the submissive one? Always behind, getting force fed content from the other branches.

If the IT departments of any major corp allows anyone within their network to enable this feature, they and everyone the work for need a permanent waning label for idiocy and utter incompetence attached to their resume.

I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.

But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.

I switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).

I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.

Also, it’s easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

Cheaper labour in the most expensive town in a country that is well known for high labour costs?

Which only works when timezones exist. Without timezones, the question would need to be “what time of day is it in ?”, and you’d get “morning” or “afternoon”. Any answer to that question is inherently more fuzzy than 8:25 or 17:16.

They’re also hosted entirely in Germany, and really transparent about how many government requests they receive, most of which they outright deny.

Also, you can pay by literally mailing them cash, which I find mostly funny, but it does allow for true anonymity.

HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

First Paragraph of the readme.md in that repository.

If you brick your car’s firmware, at least you can keep driving without unreasonable levels of difficulty or distraction

That’s impossible for a large portion of safety critical systems. Engines don’t run without a controller, they literally control the fuel injection valves (and have done so for decades). Brake systems have physical failsafes for when the electronics die (I.e. basic hydraulics without the booster), but you should not be able to move a vehicle without a working brake system after it stopped.

The shitton of software running modern cars is there for good reason (at least large chunks of it), lots of which is safety, especially in the drivetrain.

It’s completely different for infotainment, which I agree the vehicle should be able to function without (although the dashboard must work)

Automotive vim when?

I haven’t yet sent my life savings to a Nigerian prince, so there are no scams.

Yeah, no reason not to. Takes only a couple of seconds to boot, and everything is reset to a clean state.

Plot twist: This was posted by another Indian software development company doing in a false flag marketing operation to discredit their competitor.

You just ordered a thousand liters milk.

There seems to be an interval in which the app actively actively polls data from the car. It defaults to 4h and only during daytime.

I guess if you set that to a very short internal and the car is not currently charging (at which point the 12V battery does nothing) there could be quite some battery drain.

That said, draining the 12V battery of an EV to the point where you get problems seems difficult.

I think locking apps to only their own files is a terrible idea.

If a program creates unencrypted, unsecured files on disk, those files should absolutely be free game for any other program. Because if they’re not supposed to be read, they should not be unsecured files on disk.

It’s still an entirely pointless waste of energy for digital drug money.

the time limit should be way longer given how long previous versions of Windows have been supported.

What version would that be?

• Windows XP: 2001-10-25 to 2014-04-08, ~12.5 years
• Windows Vista: 2007-01-30 to 2017-04-11, ~10 years
• Windows 7: 2009-10-22 to 2020-01-14, ~10 years
• Windows 8/8.1: 2012-10-26 to 2023-01-10, ~10 years
• Windows 10: 2015-07-29 to 2025-10-14, ~10 years

I bought my 4A from a refurbisher two years after release, for the original retail price. Which is kind of insane, but there simply was no alternative for a similar sized phone at the time.

I really like it though.
