Elon is a nazi but this was always bound to happen as we expand our presence in space.

Imagine the radio signature of any of the hundreds of orbital megastructures in sci fi.

You bring up thought crime but forget that the entire point of newspeak is to reduce the ability to think at all.

Most people can’t own their consumption patterns while under the constant barrage of mental reprogramming that is advertising.

They transitioned most of their devices to usb save the iPhone before the EU legislation went into effect.

Apple caught shit for going USB-C only on their laptops years ago.

Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)

Is there a reason for bind mounting and not just configuring the db to point at a different path?

If you have other Apple devices the Apple TV is the best option.

Plex makes an app for it, and infuse makes a fantastic media server client.

Also enables all kinds of useful home automation integration, and FaceTime via your television(this is a game changer).

They would have to drive the anchors deep into the ground to have any effect. The types of anchors I’ve seen on these things are little more than tent stakes to keep it stationary.

I think these need to be strapped to concrete barrels to be safe. Or banned if there is any wind over some limit.

How does it feel to always be the smartest person in the room?

Excellent would be a stretch. They will be a variation on a Haldex system, and you’d have to look up which variation your particular model has.

I’ve yet to see a haldex type system(the type typical on FWD platforms) consistently outperform Subaru.

Nissan fans like you and I are the hardest hit by their fall.

Always buy certified used. The Subaru CPO program with gold warranty is a great deal and you can save thousands.

If you don’t buy Subaru, still buy used if the CPO warranty is good and cheap.

What is your budget?

Subaru CVTs drive like shit but not near as unreliable as Nissan units. Different manufacturers. I don’t know what chickens they sacrificed but it works.
