Eh, automatic cars will let you go into "manual" mode in which you tell it when to switch the gears. Mildly useful for steep hills to stop it from switching back and forth in some rare scenarios.
Look ma, I'm swearing on the internet. No matter the content they comment under, they prove themselves incapable of actually engaging in a discussion. It's always the same pointless "CeNsOrShIp BaD" adding absolutely zero value to the comment section. Don't even try to argue with that crowd, they'll downvote you into oblivion.
I always use VPN connected to my home network on my mobile device. This allows me to enjoy my PiHole even when not home. Though IPSet adds overhead for the network traffic, I like thinking that this setup uses less data in total due to not loading ads.
Both is very good. And PiHole will actually speed up slow internet as depicted in the meme, because the ads never even download in first place. Those that do get downloaded get squashed by your standard Ublock Origin.
You definitely get people with EU "gear" at large gatherings in the EU like protests and parades.
