I'm getting that same way.

Currently trying to chase down some automatic sun shades that don't need an app to do time-based cycles. Shouldn't be this hard, but every band wants you to use absolute garbage apps.

There really isn't a way to realistically shield against relay attacks. Most people say "just go back go physical keys", but those are even less secure.

Phone-as-key and keycard systems are vulnerable in the same way.

Ironically, I think Hyundai is the only company currently doing biometrics. They have a face unlock and fingerprint start on the GV60 in some markets iirc.

That applies to every manufacturer, and no, there isn't really a fix.

It's also not really happening in any meaningful numbers, at least yet...

It takes less money to move than you might think to move. If you have a specialty (especially in STEM) it’s really easy, and most jobs will even provide language classes for free.

Unfortunately I picked the wrong specialty (architecture). Still trying to get licensed by the end of the year, that's the only chance I have at another country maybe recognizing my degree. Regardless, it's not very in-demand.

Oh, yeah, my local wore off halfway through. When they applied more, it felt like they lit my nuts on fire.

My recovery was honestly pretty bad. I was bed-ridden for about 2 weeks, then 8-ish months of aching pain all day every day. Not actually sure when it finally cleared up, I just realized I hadn't felt the pain in a while. My first nut was about a month after the procedure, and that was also a very unpleasant experience.

My case is abnormal, but even more rare is the guys that continue to be in pain for the rest of their lives. Didn't find out about that until I started digging deeper because of my persistent pain.

That said, I still 100% recommend getting it done.

Gotta get creative to get any decent addresses these days. I've been trying to establish a company name (with an available, short-ish, simple URL) and it's surprisingly difficult, even getting into weird TLDs. Really annoying, especially since a lot of them aren't actually being used.

Finally found a 9 character made-up word that I could get the .us TLD for, and I think that's about as good as it's going to get.

You also need to be careful when deleting your account - when you do, they'll send you a "there was an issue with your request" email that tries to get you to register again by prompting you to "log in" to fix it. The log in is creating a password for a new account.

So although charging an EV is by no means fossil-fuel-free, it’s considerably less fossil-fuel than an ICE car.

That was my point. Even in the worst case it's comparable to 60mpg.... No ICE gets 60mpg. And in a decade it'll be even better.

Last time I looked (a few years ago), a 100% coal powered EV had similar emissions to a 60mpg car.

I doubt anywhere will still be coal powered in a decade, with how fast plants are closing. But that EV will still be there on its 3rd owner.

And specifically falls back to a very small mms, something like 100kb instead of 3mb for images.

That's why you always hear crap about androids having terrible cameras - most people only experience them through excessive apple compression.
