I knew exactly what book the image was from as soon as I saw it, but could not for the life of me remember the name. Thanks.

Exactly!

I have seen so many people say the 3.5mm port takes up room, and it is such a crock of shit. The space it takes up is practically non existent and it costs almost nothing implement.

Like literally if I’m making a custom circuit board, or even bread boarding, with a microcontroller of all the IO currently on phones a 3.5mm jack is probably the cheapest and easiest thing to implement. It’s a hell of a lot less of both than say a finger print scanner and I don’t see anyone calling for those to be removed despite the fact that many people don’t use that feature.

For whatever it’s worth I have been using a Fairphone 5 in the US for over a year on T-Mobile.

I live in the US. I blame 40% of the people at a minimum, and likely more than that.

Why doesn’t she have to ask me out? That doesn’t seem very equitable.

You are allowed to record content like a broadcast though, which makes me wonder if that means that ripping is illegal, but piping it through a capture card isn’t?

Technically I’m half right and half wrong (I think). It’s not illegal to backup media that one owns, but it is illegal to break DRM/copy protection which is required to rip most physical media these days.

Suffice to say the legality of it is a cluster fuck, but the morality, in my opinion, is pretty clear. Fuck the corpos.

But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.

That’s not an Individual Retirement Account

That just sounds like a worse station wagon. Which, being the owner of a Subaru Outback station wagon, I can confirm.

You don’t sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.

It wasn’t Bowser, it was the finance guys that were placed at the head of the company after Satoru Iwata’s death.

I know it can last longer than that, but I think there is a benefit to doing so even if it doesn’t need changed that often. It’s the same reason I have my mechanic do my oil changes instead of doing them myself. It’s so that they can look at the rest of the car and let me know about problems before they become a much more expensive fix. Kinda like going to a doctor for a yearly checkup and blood work.

I can fix almost anything on a car if I know what the issue is and have the shop manual, but I don’t work on cars enough to know all warning signs or quickly diagnose things.

However, I do realize how difficult it can be to find a mechanic that is trustworthy, competent, and reasonably priced. I’m generally not a fan of dealership mechanics or the places that are dedicated to cheap oil changes. Not saying none of them have good mechanics, but it can be hit or miss.

Patreon and Wikipedia are things people pay for that they can get for free. I have long wanted a way to directly find Firefox development and sustainability.

You beat me to it 🤣

You are correct, I had terms swapped around in my head. Tempered glass is what glass break devices were designed for. Newer cars are swapping their tempered glass windows for laminated glass windows which traditional glass break devices do not work on.

From what I have gathered glass breakers don’t work on tempered glass laminated glass (which is what newer cars are now using). I read somewhere that fire fighters essentially have to use a sawzall in order to get through a window like that. Pretty much everything I can think of that’s almost as compact as a glass break requires power or batteries of some kind which would be yet another thing to remember to charge and maintain.

Not that it would be OK as a commercial product, but I have wondered how small a shape charge could get and still make a good enough opening for egress.
