The surveillance is mostly done on the inside of the car, not the outside. Parking sensors don’t really provide useful data for them to harvest, but that is why they cost so much to replace. If you don’t care about parking sensors you can just replace your bumper without them, the car doesn’t really care after you tell it “you didn’t ship with parking sensors”.

Maybe after reading 30 pages of the manual it might make things clear. But IDK about you, but I don’t want to read through the owners manual for 10 different printers before buying one.

And a raspberry pi will do a hell of a lot better job at doing that than the printer.

Our brother printer at work is otherwise a fairly great printer. But dear god does it have the WORLDS WORST wifi connectivity. I had to put it directly under an AP at work so it wouldn’t try to connect to one on the other side of the office at 0.1Mbps and constantly dropping packets.

There’s a lot of things you can do though. Big ass Walmart parking lot? Park in the very back. Office on the 4th floor? Take the stairs. Shit I’ve started practicing taking the 30 flights of stairs up to my office personally.

There’s a lot of little things you can do that add up.

Sorry, this is an AppleTalk household.

Thanks, I think I’m gonna print this off and frame it.

Because of how important reading is

Reading itself isn’t what’s important, it’s mental stimulation that is. And more importantly stimulating different parts of the brain.

Blocking is for the weak. Subscribe to the content you want to see and (mostly) only look at your subscriptions.

The only things I have blocked are porn communities/instances.

Why block them when you can just not argue with them?

I assume this is like the cell phone “ban” we had in our school when I was a kid. Which is the phones should never be seen during normal day to day. If there’s an emergency then nobody is gonna tell you no.

Obviously kids are going to bring phones in anyways regardless of the ban.

Ban them for a year or two.

I think valve game’s longest ban length is like 5 years.

More than just the cellular radio.

I think this was built into the SOC itself, or the GPS module, but it runs 100% independently of your OS, even on custom firmware.

Taking a sip generally isn’t that distracting. But when the cup doesn’t want to go into the cup holder no matter what you do, and you have to look down to figure it out is.

I’m actually all for this. If you’re driving your #1 priority should be paying attention to the road, and any distraction should be avoided if possible.

The Germans had it right not having cup holders in their cars.

They should strap a gopro to your car during the driving test so they can review the footage if you’re that bad.

Lifting weights, shooting, weighing less.

I already do this, you don’t understand how boney my ass is.

The problem I have (and OP may have it as well) The chair might be comfortable for the first 3, 4, maybe 5 hours. But past that it’s a problem. Plus what’s comfortable for you ass isn’t always comfortable for your back/neck.

That was where I started before I went distro hopping on my test machine. Ubuntu had a really annoying issue where the fingerprint reader would randomly stop working waking up from sleep. Going into sleep sometimes just didn’t work, and battery life was also pretty awful.
