That would work perfectly if he listened to music consisting of a single tone of different volumes…

Only way that could make any sense would be if he was trying to make sure the speakers were in phase. If you’ve ever had one wired backwards there’s an exact spot where you can get them to cancel out, it feels bizarre. But you don’t need to adjust the cones, just wire things the right way lol.

Ah very nice, good to hear they addressed that. It was the only real deciding factor last time I moved my mail around ~2 yrs ago

Fastmail. It’s been around forever and it just works. And they don’t do anything weird with SMTP/IMAP.

mailbox dot org is also pretty good, but I wasn’t a fan of their 2FA implementation.

Same, I miss my 03 Camry. That thing was a beast. Took hard hits from some wildlife, got backed into, had branches fall on it, and still made it to 300K km and never once broke down. It was so rusty my mechanic told me to get rid of it before it broke in half. When I donated it to the kidney foundation, it drove up into the tow truck under its own power.

Sadly, Toyota doesn’t have the sauce anymore. We looked at new Corollas and they felt way creakier than the “golden age” ones. Plus their CEO is a maga chud now :(

In Ontario it took $200 of bribes from Doug, Quebec shouldn’t shortchange themselves…

Hybrids use regenerative braking for the majority of their deceleration. There are Priuses (Priui?) with 200K+ kilometres on original brakes. The dust that brake pads shed is fairly harmful, so it’s nice that they produce less.

My cat’s got the cone of shame because he kept blowing up his CVT’s.

OM-5 of Panasonic G100 would probably be great for what you need. Can also get used/older micro 3/4 gear for pretty cheap as the other commenter said.

I like to walk around with my GX-85 (sadly discontinued now) and a 14-150 zoom, it’s a very good combo. 12-100 is better, but more $. Even the kit 12-32 is a surprisingly good lens.

I run iptables on Debian, on a cheap aliexpress minipc with dual NICs. Been using more or less the same config for about five years. It’s simple, boring, and works great.

Laws like this are enforced selectively, by design. If they were serious about privacy, they’d be issuing citations to everybody with a ring doorbell. Not just because the videos always face public areas, but because the recordings are stored insecurely on US datacentres.

I agree that we should be doing something to retaliate against the US regime, but to be honest they’re doing a fine enough job of that themselves. Best thing we can do is pivot our exports to Europe & Asia, become a new leader to developing nations and emerging markets, and stop being vassal for US foreign policy. That’s what really hurts them, not import taxes.

A wireless router consumes single digit watts of power. A tablet or mobile phone consumes 1/10 or less of that. Making a slice of toast and a cup of tea uses more power than both of those devices all day combined. This is another silly attempt to shift blame from corporations and billionaires down to consumers and everyday people. Don’t buy it.
