I’m curious how you can take it back if I no longer have it. Say I spend it on activities and services, how can you recover it? Physical goods, you might be able to take those.

Interestingly my iPhone will autocorrect ducking to fucking for me. Guess I use it enough?

We thank you for your sacrifice

1€/month isn’t bad at all. How did you notice such a small increase and not chalk it up to a fee or something. Watching that bill like a hawk.

Serious question: how does war thunder end up with the leaks they do all the time?

The two red lines are at a right angle, you can connect them and solve for the hypotenuse using the normal a^2 + b^2.

At this point you now have a second triangle that contains the X you want. Also, since the outer shape is a quarter-circle (assumed) you know that the corner in the bottom right is 90 degrees which makes the two side equal in length.

Since it’s an equilateral triangle, and you know the hypotenuse, you can back it out with c^2 = 2a^2 and solve it that way.

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet

Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:

• Traffic
• Remote (app) features
• Music

Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

Something else that people don’t think about besides the backend server is the connectivity. A lot of these cars use LTE with eSIMs that can’t be replaced, and getting an internet package for it will be next to impossible since Tesla gets them at bulk rates. Once upon a time cars did allow “bring your own SIM cards” but not anymore. Also as cars get older the cell networks get shut down. Some companies did offer upgrades but that was few and far between. Most just said “sorry, you’re SOL”.

So even if you could hack your car, your car won’t have any way of talking to a custom endpoint.

Don’t forget Natalie Portman covered in hot grits along with Natalie Dormer and a clone of the former.

I made the joke that we’ll have SystemD/Linux replacing GNU/Linux and the number of “well asckuallys…” that popped up was simultaneously humorous and saddening.

Wait, what? I have a feeling I was better off being ignorant.
