ATi EGA Wonder, it could do a whopping 640 x 350 with 16 colors!

looks like the first line says that you got banned and gives a reason, (note that I don’t know anything about you or that community, just pointing out what I saw in the list, nothing more)

It's not the numbers but the content, if they are good natured and have knowledge or entertainment to give the numbers will follow BUT people will also watch a dumpster fire. People with high numbers but lack the rest are not influencers. IMHO, People that go around saying they are "influencers" usually are not and are just bullies trying to throw around weight they don't have to get free stuff or cause harm.

A lot of independent mechanics will use the manufacturer scan tool and service applications or use a 3rd party scan tool/applications that is licensed through the manufacturer and still uploads the data.

Wait isn’t this the guy that sent porn to a bunch of law makers and cops last year?

Yep, I do use these on thing I really want to see, but for most of the NYT stuff, It will be on another post with no paywall.

i will give that a try

Thank you for posting the text,

Unfortunately I’m using a mobile app/browser for Lemmy and last time I looked there was not any paywall remover plugins.

The NYT bot seems to be posting a lot of articles, so I just blocked them a few min ago, no use seeing the posts if I can’t read them anyway.

paywall

It gets worse, Auto makers are now building cars with options in them that require an online subscription and disabling access for more than x time will shut off the option(Tesla, BMW, and others do this now). There is talk about putting the car in “Limp home” mode if access is cut (Car will only have 35mph max speed and limited functions, no HVAC, no Radio, etc.)

😂 Jammers might work, but then you run amuck of the FCC, in the US anyway not sure what other countries feel about jammers.

I know someone who is in engineering at one of the big Auto makers, we where discussing this issue and the person told me that even if you remove the SIM (disable cellular internet) The dealer we still upload all the data from the “black box” to the auto maker when they connect to OBD / CAN diagnostic port in your car during service. The manufacturer’s service software just does that now the tech does not even have to initiate it. Also some dealers can automatically connect using RF to your car as soon as you enter their lot, This can be by Bluetooth, WiFi, and/or the CAN bus via the keyless entry module or TPM (Tire Pressure Monitor). There was an issue a several years ago with hackers gaining access to Jeeps while on the road via RF.
