yeah, i agree. it costs them money so there’s little to no incentive to run that stuff for free.
also the price is reasonable (about as much as a single Nano ec2 instance on aws + mobile plan that’s required to connect the car to the internet) and pretty much negligible when compared to amount of money you’ll be spending on that vehicle anyway.
then there are privacy concerns tho. do you trust kia with knowledge of your exact car location, 24/7? (I’d assume it doesn’t connect to their servers without the subscription?)
also that information (Exact location of all kia vehicles, with exact model numbers and registration information) seems like a goldmine for car thieves if leaked (or accessed by a third party.)
also, fuck heated seat other hardware/local software subscriptions

this subscription involves a mobile plan and access to a backend service though

vox,

you’re paying for a backend service and a constant internet connection for your car here though, not for some client side feature that can be easily unlocked

  1. they’re not using a conventional network
  2. they still have to pay for the backend infrastructure
  3. my point is that this is not a client side feature, so it can’t be unlocked by some cpu vulnerability. This is a case in which a subscription service DOES make sense

pihole does not deceypt https traffic, so it cant change dom. even if it could, it can’t modify stuff added by js.
also it can only block whole domains, not individual urls

vox, (edited )

pihole uses the same method of blocking as adguard dns but is more configurable, and since it’s usually self-hosted you have full control over it.

btw, nextdns is pretty good too (think of it as a managed configurable, slightly more private alternative to adguard dns, great if you’re not into self hosting).
it lacks custom domain blocklists tho. you can add your own white/blacklisted domains but not whole lists, except ones provided by nextdns.
also, it’s a paid service. free tier includes 300k requests per month, which is enough for ~1.5 devices from my experience.

pihole is not a replacement for ublock

i use sync. there’s nothing even close to the quality of the client. (The onlt client that implements material you in a fun and usable way, sync is usable one-handed)
I had been using Liftoff for a while (before switching to Sync as soon as it came out), which i quite liked but it feels a lot worse than sync

yeah it stutters but i got it to playable framerate. (60-70 fps) (performance mods are pretty much REQUIRED, get sodium and like 50 other fabric performance mods, you’ll need all of 'em)
it has a 4 core 4 thread (no hyperthreading) 2ghz amd a6 and 6 gb of ddr3 ram, out of which ~4.5 is usable
also it has a terrible hdd which I don’t feel like replacing.
arch with gnome takes 2 minutes to boot, pop os with kde used to take around 5-6 minutes. (windows is painfully slow btw, around 10-30 minutes to cold boot, fast boot or hibernation is not that bad tho)

debian is stable as in “nothing changes”, not “nothing breaks” (but tbf it’s a consequence of that)

vox, (edited )
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

i think it’s better.
the only downside is minor visual bugs with the taskbar, and the edge causing issues if uninstalled (may cause update loop or permanently break all pdf files unless you set another handler and previewer beforehand)
explorer got little bit slow ever since the tabs got added but it’s definitely not unusable, and I’d rather take 1 second hit to the loading time than an explorer without tabs

local accounts still work, even on home edition
ads in the start menu work the same way as they do in windows 10 (pinned tiles that download actual apps from the store, you just need to unpin 'em)
I still don’t have any of the ai stuff, and pretty sure they should be controllable with a simple group policy

vox, (edited )
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

you don’t need to do anything convoluted or remove your internet connection, you just need to run a single command before doing anything (which will cause your oc to reboot and the offline option to unlock)

vox,
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

it worked for me even with an internet connection, but you probably should still disconnect the internet while installing windows, you’ll get less bloatware

these are mostly enterprise systems right? like terminals/pos stuff where the system is responsible for just running the ui?

win11 has labels tho, you’re lying

vox, (edited )
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

its faster to change the ip using the win11 settings app than with Control panel, also DNS over HTTPS is missing from control panel and only available in the settings app

vox,
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

windows 7-style control panel is one of the most non intuitive uis ever created
