Unlikely. Car manufacturers don't particularly care how you're going to charge it. That's a you problem not a them problem.

They're resisting because Oz has been a place they can dump polluting cars that are cheap to make. The big markets like EU and California have mandated EVs, if they can delay the cutoff here it buys them time to do the ramp ups they should have been doing for a decade.

Toyota in particular is the worst culprit, they spent a lot of money in the US trying to prevent ICE being banned, because they bet on hydrogen and lost, now they're doing exactly the same delay tactics here.

Here in the UK Tesco and Sainsburys now give a lower price at the till for loyalty card members

Not everyone on the internet lives in western countries with 1gb fibre connections, hell remote parts of the US are still stuck on very slow ADSL if they don't have access to starlink.

Your seeder may be in ButtFucke WY or could be in a little village in Phillipines or Nigeria

Every time you take your car to be serviced by tge dealer it's plugged into a diagnostics computer which reads the ECU, with the price of storage it is entirely possible that disabling the cell connection just causes the ECU to write it to local storage for upload at service read. The diagnostics machines are definitely connected to manufacturer servers.

Doing so is trivially easy the telematics is going to be caching before sending, all you need to do is manufacture that cache storage to be large enough (and it's flatfiles we're talking megs not gigs) and tell the software not to delete until it has an an acknowledged receipt of transfer.

Similarly, when I'm on a contract that requires O365 and teams and doesn't supply a work device I use Edge strictly for work to quarantine Microsoft away from the rest of my usage on Firefox etc.

Yeah that's the one

If you type a word then backspace to correct spelling it removes the space from the word before it. Basically smooshing everything together

I installed both Jerboa and Liftoff and ended up on Sync.

I run Linux and 99% foss software on PC and same on phone.

Sync was the only android client I tried that was usable. The keyboard bug in jerboa was maddening

You post a lot of links from "stop population decline" is this your website ?

To expand on this (very correct reply), simply download the win 10 install media from microsoft, run the install, during setup it will ask for your licence key and there will be a little icon saying something like "I don't have my key handy I'll do it later" the install will then finish fine and the only restriction is you can't customise wallpaper.

Other things to note, do NOT connect it to the internet when you're installing, let it moan and then you can create a local account. Otherwise it makes you setup a microsoft account.

Do use 10, don't use 11.

Dual boot works but windows has to be installed first and it will mess with your linux boot - backup your machine before install. I'd run up a windows Virtual Machine first before doing a dual boot install if it were me

Should work, provided you can access the bios to choose it as the boot device. The usual issues with this are: 1. It's a school / work PC and BIOS access is locked 2. It has weird hardware and you can't get network access working to sort it.

1 is common. 2 isnt common any more.

Make a live boot usb and try it and see.

Yep, the vast majority of press in the UK are unequivocally still for Brexit for various reasons, and pro Tory. Starmer is playing the "give them nothing to get hold of" game.

Doubt it will work when they managed to turn eating a bacon sarnie into a drama, they'll make something up.

Lib-Dems are centrist but otherwise yes

I use BAUH as a GUI "update everything in one click" does repos, aur, flatpak, snaps, appimages. Paru is CLI option for repo, aur and flatpak. I dunno if it does snaps never checked.

I've not had any trouble with HPs, burn a boot USB and boot a live distro and see if it works.

TBH I must have been lucky because the only linux hardware support grief I've had with laptops (a dozen all different brands) has been wifi cards/drivers. The one time I had that problem I coughed up the £20 and replaced the pcie wifi card with an Intel one.

Then again I don't try to make fingerprint readers work which apparently is a pain

Plato in the original version, although it's actually an invented quote from a PhD student in about 1905

So what happens when a lot of bad laws are passed, and the legislative system only listens to 1-5% of the population ? Should obedience still be lauded ?

I guess a Bully XL could choke on a pug while swallowing it ? Is that the danger pugs present you had in mind ?

Hectares are also standard in Australia
