@Pyr_Pressure @TheLoneMinon Cars are seeming to forget who is in charge.
I've a mate who's just dropped over 100k on a brand new LandCruiser and deliberately went for not the top-spec because it has too many "safety" features. And he's still finding things like it won't drive if a door is open - so no leaning out to reverse his towed caravan. Lane departure assist is ridiculously aggressive (and actually dangerous when towing a big caravan). Dog on the back seats sets the seatbelt alarms off. And way too much other stuff. Some of it can be disabled permanently with the aid of an ODB dongle.
Car makers need to just stop.

@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai depends what you're labbing. any sort of virtualisation etc then a mini PC from Beelink or Bosgame etc. networking have a look at Ubiquiti stuff.
yes, you can get "refurbished" stuff pike Cisco switches or whatever. but consider if big, old, slow, power hungry, umsupported kit is what you are ok with (it may well be)

@Lodespawn @EvilBit that sounds like a shortcut to a bad time

@BeardedGingerWonder @BOFH666 always worth googling around for the Service Manual rather than User Manual for those things. And YouTube. Probably find the correct order in which to take it apart without too many curses.

@4am @BOFH666 would it know if you filled the rinse aid reservoir with water?

@p03locke @shalafi i have a primary email that uses a TLD released in 2014. I use it for any mails that aren't e.g. government or financial. The number of systems/servers/transports that haven't been updated to accept it is quite an annoyance.
I avoid email anyway.

@ivanafterall @ramble81 IRC with emoticons

@Jinzul @cm0002 yep. i drew the line. no kid's music in the cars. And we had Classic Rock Bathtimes.

STOOL

Slack Slabbath

Fleetwood Sac

Talking Beads

Jethro Dull

@SLVRDRGN @TokenEffort I feel the same when handed an iThing these days. I don't think it helps that the ones I'm handed have had everything on them moved around and whatnot by children.

@IrateAnteater @yesman if they do the "show secret" or whatever the option is called when your 2FA setup shows a QR code then you can copy that plain-text and save it somewhere (safe!) to just plumb it in to whatever authenticator app you decide to use elsewhere.
If you use something like BitWarden then it can generate those 2FA codes for you and sync between whichever devices you use.

@stetech Thanks for the nudge. This is the one https://timsh.org/tracking-myself-down-through-in-app-ads/
