A bad exhaust can be extremely loud, but while it negatively impacts comfort, noise level, and emissions it doesn't impact the drivability or safety of the vehicle. So people who struggle to cover the costs of vehicle maintenance will often neglect it.

Recover several hundred GB of disk space, if my team's experience was any indication.

I was casting a video to my shield from my phone and ended up needing to pause for a phone call during an ad roll. Pausing worked fine but the play button on my phone was completely unresponsive after. Thankfully the shield remote still worked, but clearly play/pause during ads is handled differently than during normal videos and something is broken.

It was and still is valuable to be able to maintain the devices and machines that you and people around you use. I'm not sure why you seem to be implying that stopped being the case for cars.

Yeah, I'm just sort of also complaining because it feels like I have to use it.

I have a hobby development project with a modest community and maintain a Discord server basically because it's necessary in order to avoid reducing my potential community reach by at least 50%.

I'm active on GitHub and respond to comments and issues there. I maintain an official thread for my project on the official forum for the game it's related to. I also keep all documentation, downloads, and guides off Discord and on the clearnet. Discord is still easily 80% or more of where people look for information about the project.

The pictures aren't very good I'll grant you that, but they definitely don't require even one kWh per image, and besides that basically everything made with a computer costs power. We waste power on nonsense just fine without the help of LLMs or diffusion models.

It's an extremely bizarre suggestion given your request. I do want to defend the game (though not the suggestion) a little though.

It initially presents as you say, but offers you opportunities to fight back in your capacity as border control. Letting in the right people can help the resistance and incite a coup, or enable you and your families escape from the country. It isn't just Be A Good Tankie Simulator 2013, though you can play it that way too.

D-Brand paid him to bleach it.

I can't speak for anyone else but I definitely didn't have gravity explained in school as the rotation of an objects 4-vector due to a temporal gradient.

Micro$oft

I dislike Microsoft and basically everything they've done with Windows post-7. Every machine I own that isn't expressly for gaming is running Linux, and one of the two that are for gaming is also running Linux. When I build a new gaming tower to replace my current Windows one it will also run Linux, I just can't be bothered to switch OSes mid-way.

And yet people using childish denigrating nicknames like this immediately makes me disinclined to engage with the conversation. I don't understand how anyone expects to be taken seriously while throwing around schoolyard-grade name-calling like this.

Bell and Rogers actually don't share their towers in Canada.
