Kinda depends on the car. Volkswagen cars are pretty "hackable" with OBDeleven which is a wireless interface for the hilariously named "VAGCOM" protocol.

I got an OBDeleven for my 2015 GTI so I could unlock stuff and customize. Enabled rolling down the windows with the key fob, being able to display the engine oil temp in the dash and also setting the accelerator pedal curve to linear.

He's got a pretty interesting podcast about the supreme court, called Making the Case. Been listening to the first couple episodes, it's kinda dry but informative as hell

I wonder if something like a leapmotion would work well in that situation. Many years ago I tried out leapmotion in VR and it worked fairly well at tracking hands and fingers

Samsung does produce the xcover series for construction/industrial use. I seriously considered one, the issue was it would have been a downgrade for me in CPU, display and doesn't have dex

If your work wants you to have mobile messaging/email then they should issue you a work device. I never put work stuff on my personal phone or computer. And I don't put personal stuff on a work device. If I pay for a device I have full control of it.

You can try with chromium based browsers that are more privacy friendly. I find Vivaldi works on sites that don't like Firefox. There's also brave or duck duck go's mobile browser.

So excited to see nuclear thermal propulsion actually flying. We were so close with project NERVA back in the 70s

Got a source for that? From what I've read the official stance is that if the account has any purchased games its not eligible for deletion: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/24/23805783/ubisoft-delete-game-accounts

Because sensational news headlines/articles

thousands of years of famine? I'd love to read more let me know! Also I don't believe there have been any famines after the British left.

Yeah but one can infer that it's not a literal governmental force but a societal force

Use the app, pop ups, auto playing videos/ads, the internet has become incredibly shitty. I went to BBC News (historically a bastion of good web practices) and they now even have a big popup to get you to sign up.

Fascinating, thanks for the link

Also easier to get tracking info through installed apps. Ultimately, yes, money.

The Indian region has historically has been pretty resilient to famines, the exception to that is during British rule there were several famines leading to the starvation and deaths of millions. The consensus seems to be that these famines were a result of British policy. I've never heard of this unsustainable growth and famine argument I'd love to read more if you can provide sources

There's some incredibly impressive megalithic structures in India. Look up Ajanta and Ellora caves. I believe the Ellora temple is the largest monolithic structure ever created

Didn't a lot of former members of the opera dev team go on to make Vivaldi? I really like Vivaldi but I always come back to my bae, Firefox

probably just differences in cameras, lenses and exposure times

It's because Google's corporate culture rewards new products over maintaining old ones. They'll happily dump a product even with tens of millions of users to push a new one. Funnily enough the main Google products I see consistent mainstream usage of is all the old ones.
