You also lose the ability to access the TV settings, leaving you stuck on the default settings, which is one of the reasons why most people root their phones.

Get something like this, but look for something that uses a 1/4” hex end for using it with a regular bit driver screwdriver if you don't have a drill that can go slowly in reverse.

You're thinking of Kristi Noem.

I'm just waiting for better VR support (formerly WMR, now Quest 3), and my system (Thinkpad T15G) is Intel/Nvidia, occasionally with an Nvidia eGPU, and I've heard good support for that just isn't ready yet. Linux would be great if I had a budget to build something entirely optimized for Linux, but right now it's just not right for my system and budget.

I plan on trying it out again soon, but I just don't have time for a new learning curve right now, even if I'm fairly tech savvy.

Fingers crossed I'll have a place to die in glory over soon (offer submitted today)

Ugh, did they really co-opt flying the fucking flag upside down? I deliberately put the dumb little flags that came with my shooting earmuffs on upside down because it works well with my "defend equality" patch... This country is in crisis and the fascists are the reason why.

I know, and I've known gay men who think the same thing, I'm just contributing my 2¢. Bi-erasure is something that I deal with fairly routinely as a blue collar worker, and I feel that gay folks having an anti-hetero bias is more hurtful than straight people having a hetero bias because I expect to find more community from other LGBT people because I can't always expect it as a baseline from straight people.

It's funny in the context, but as a bisexual guy in a poly relationship, it really bums me out when other queer people treat the appearance of heterosexual as a demerit (see gold star lesbians, etc...). Humans aren't binary in any way, but we act like we can only be attracted to genitals and not have exceptions to a general rule because of an emotional connection.

As someone who rides an already heavy bike (it's just old), and drives a hybrid, I just don't personally see motorcycles ever really being a meaningful use-case for hybrid tech. Batteries are heavy and current electric bikes already don't get fantastic range, so it just doesn't make sense to add more weight to get less range. Stop-start application may have some use in a dual clutch transmission, or maybe on pulling the clutch in, but that's only useful in traffic, where you really want consistency and reliability when you don't have any buffer space, and most bikes get better fuel economy anyways..

Didn't mean to rant a bit, I was a hybrid and EV diag tech for Chevy for a bit and I gave it some thought.

1984 Honda VF700S and a 1st, then 2nd gen Toyota Highlander hybrid.

Acquisitions ultimately work to stifle innovation, proven here and in nearly every other industry. It's a damn shame
