You’ve got to figure, if some is still driving their 20 year old Saturn or Mercury, they are a careful driver.

I think this is very true, but western media isn’t going to probe this point.

US government doesn’t grasp that sanctions will only further motivate their internal technology development, until it surpasses US tech. China isn’t North Korea. They have plenty of local talent and capabilities.

The US govt is unable to fathom that SMIC internally innovated to allow 7nm, and now 5nm process that does not need the sanctioned tech. Also, SMIC is likely stretching the truth, calling their N+1 tech 7nm, just to taunt the US.

A new radiator hose / heater hose is only like $20-$40 I think…

I have no idea what cats think, but when talking to them I refer to clothes as “fur,” so I guess I’m assuming they don’t know the difference.

A great way is by charging for volume of trash produced. My city works that way (pay per bag) and we produce very little trash (sometimes not even filling a trash bag in one week). It also makes you really consider buying something when you include the potential cost of throwing it away, if it is not reusable.

I don’t hate Google. But some of their services/products are more buggy then the competitors (gmail, chat, chrome) and some don’t have much utility (free form search for products or recommendations, maps) so I use the better competitor products, where it benefits me. And I use the Google product when it offers me a benefit (search for technical documentation or finding a specific URL, chrome devtools). In some cases I’m locked in (gmail) and in that respect, it’s frustrating (but not unique to Google)

What’s worse, the parking or the broad generalizations in the comments here?

To me this appear more like a minor update to sales projections for upcoming quarters, rather than a strategy shift.

I’ve had the same pair of Rockport boots for 20+ years.

How much disdain I have for change (“they are just making it worse!”) aka grumpy old man syndrome

If you login to the Gmail app on any device, it can also act as 2FA. Does not need to be the one where they send the push…any logged in device will work.

And, you could also earn too much to qualify

A malformed (attacker crafted) webp file could cause Chrome (or other Chrome based browsers) to execute arbitrary code when rendering it. The file might be embedded in a web page you view. Other applications that use Skia for graphics are theoretically affected too.

It’s impossible if the vendors stop shipping os updates. I can’t use an out of date phone for my works 2fa push. Kept my phone for 5 years and it was still going, but the planned obsolescence got me.

Well, I just bought my current car (actually, truck) a few months ago so I certainly hope it does not explode tomorrow! A Miata was in the running for this recent purchase, though. What does a truck and a Miata have in common that I would be considering both? IMO they are both honest about what they are: there is minimal software interfering between me and the machine (at least the case for basic work trucks). No drive modes, lane assist, intelligent cruise, auto braking, etc. Thats pretty rare in modern autos.

Recent Miata’s seem like they would be in good company with your other picks
