  • Does this mean I won't need to go to a dealership, play games to get a fair price, have the dealer's branding permanently affixed to my car, and be constantly hounded by the dealership to buy more things from them?

    But if it means the car is going to come with mandatory Alexa I'm out.

  • It may or may not be a concern to you, but if you are hosting it from your home then people will be able to determine your IP and rough physical location.

    If you're on American cable internet and expecting a lot of traffic, your upload speed may become a problem.

  • The American education system has failed you. I'm assuming by "a progressive candidate" in this case you mean a third party, but in a first-past-the-post voting system, voting third-party is a protest vote. At best, people voting third-party shows that voters don't have confidence in the major parties, but at worst it helps your least preferred of the two major parties win the election because you're not begrudgingly voting for the candidate you hate less. A third-party president is an unimaginable upset.

    But if you're not living in a swing state nobody cares how you vote for president anyway. Hopefully you got a good option for Congress in the primaries. That's the only thing I had any chance of influencing at a federal level for this election cycle. I'm not in a swing state and in the final election I only got one option for senate and all one candidate could say was that they weren't the other candidate.

  • The other problem is that the mouse does not click properly. Apple is still stubbornly refusing to put a second physical button in their mice. For almost 20 years they've been selling mice that can emulate right clicking by using a touch surface, but it seems like you still need to hold the mouse funny to avoid accidentally doing the wrong click because your other finger is resting on the other side of the mouse when clicking. At least they got rid of the little ball that likes to scroll horizontally while you're scrolling vertically and gets clogged easily.

  • Samsung "Advanced Intelligence" has a "Process data only on device" setting:

    For added privacy, process data for advanced intelligence features on your device instead of online. Online processing of data provides the best results and is required for some advanced intelligence features.

    Other AI features provided by Google or other apps may not honor it.

  • Android 4 was the reunification of Android 2 for phones and Android 3 for tablets. I think it coincided with the launch of the original Nexus 7 and Google Assistant, and I think I was installing third-party Android 4 builds on one of the first US phones with 4G LTE.

  • Untracker lets you copy links on Android without tracking parameters, but it's so annoying in YouTube. I have to click the share button to get the fake YouTube share menu and then swipe past preferred options that I never use to reach the "more" option that reveals the real share menu and then select Untracker to see the link and then it gives me the option to copy (for sharing) or share (which also gives the option to copy). Often going through this process causes YouTube to stop playing.

  • You need to factor in other economic factors. How much is this in terms of median salary? How much is this in terms of child care costs? Currency conversion is based on how much the currency is worth in the other country.
