ExLisper,

And the inseminated cows goes “o fuck, I’m late again! I can’t go thought this again. my career will go to shit”.

ExLisper,

85% after 2.5 years is not good. My car battery has guarante of 80% capacity after 6 years. 20% of range is a significant difference so I take car of my battery and don’t charge it above 80% if not needed. It’s the same with laptops. Current models can easily last 5-10 years but having only 50% of capacity after that time would be a problem. Sure, if you’re intending to throw it out after 3 years it doesn’t really matter but if you want to use it for as long as possible you definitely should take care of the battery. It’s pretty much the only part that degrades (except maybe keyboard).

How to get a private car

Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...

Privacy and cars are mutually exclusive. If you want privacy use public transport and pay in cash. With cars you have licence plate scanner, cameras and tollbooths everywhere (no to mention that most people drive with their phones on them). “They” will know where were you driving no matter what car you use. The question really is what data are you trying to hide and from who? The obvious thing to do is not to give your data to advertisers. Selling you shit is the whole point of most of the data collection. Just get extra phone and use some fake google account for android auto and you should be fine here. As for car companies all they will gather is some generic data about your driving habits but guess what? Everyone knows this already because driving is not private (again, if you want to hide this use public transport). So yeah, it would be nice for car companies to be more transparent about the data they gather and how they use it but it’s really not a big issue. If you’re paranoid about it then don’t drive. If you’re driving the data your car is leaking though analytics is not your biggest problem.

ExLisper,

There are degrees of privacy.

And what did I say? “Just get extra phone and use some fake google account for android auto and you should be fine”. Kind of like I’m saying that while total privacy is not possible you can find a good compromise, wouldn’t you say?

ExLisper,

Is this the best joke ever written? No. Wait, I meant yes. Yes it is.

ExLisper,

Who even operates them?

You’re not going to believe it but it’s Donal Trump.

ExLisper,

Even more alternate take: Ukraine got a sympathy win like in Eurovision?

Fun fact: Conguito character was created in 1960s and influenced by recent Congo independence.

ExLisper,

It’s a matter of taste.

ExLisper,

Everyone can leave it open or close it after use. It’s up to them. The next person will know what to do with it in both cases.

ExLisper, (edited )

As it’s name implies, it’s a crime. As such it’s not legitimate but it’s also not a sin. It’s up to each individual and his morality to decide if he wants to be a criminal or not and it’s up to the society to stop criminal behaviors that have negative impact on it as a whole.

ExLisper,

It doesn’t matter, the roll works in both cases. If someone disagrees be the bigger person and just agree with them.

ExLisper,

Sorry, all judgements are final. No returns or appeals.

ExLisper,

Yay. Just don’t watch it if you don’t like it.

ExLisper,

As Sci-Fi? Clearly Star Trek. It’s actual Sci-Fi when Star Wars is just fantasy in space. As franchises both have better and worse movies/shows and can’t be compared objectively.

ExLisper,

I mean I always knew that Oscars were mostly about hype and not actual artistic value but getting offended that the most hyped movie of the year didn’t get all the nominations is just weird. Mattel run multi-million, non traditional marketing campaign and got a lot of people exited about the movie. It doesn’t say anything about the acting or directing in it.

RaspberryPi becoming unresponsive at random intervals

Issue Description: I have been having this issue with my raspberry pi running dietPi where it seems to lock up and I cannot SSH / access any of the services on it. The interesting part is that the interface seems to be up and I can still ping it on the local network but shows no video output. usually I get about 3-6 days before...

ExLisper,

Yeah, I had the same issue. Sometimes it was the SD card, sometimes the network interface (not your case obviously), sometimes things connected to USB, sometimes it was running hot… I gave up and now I just run everything on an older Slimbook Zero. Yes, power consumption is higher (still pretty low) but so is stability.

ExLisper,

Come on people, it’s funny. Blind chicken and everything.

Did you fly to Germany and travel back in time there or did you travel back in time in US and travel to Germany in 1930?

ExLisper, (edited )

It’s not for you to decide based on arbitrarily chosen data points. If Linus says he’s Finnish (another commenter said he does) then that’s it. Also, think how strange it is to insist that someone has one ethnicity or another. Categorizing people like that based on their genes or language is sooo previous century. Time to move on my friend, time to move on.

ExLisper,

What? You’re confused. I’m saying he’s a Finn. The other guy says he’s Swedish.

ExLisper,

There were multiple reports about sleazy companies reaching out to developers of popular apps and Chrome addons and offering them money for their accounts. The money is really good but there’s still a lot of devs that can say ‘no’. They will just use to track some people, it’s not a completely new business that will grow and earn them money like Instagram or something.
