disposable income is called as such for a reason.and these companies are just an extension for people's whims since people have voted for them with their data and wallet. so the system is running as intended and there is no need to be worried
it took two to take care of one person. it took only 10 years for me to become almost autonomous, but still only financially dependant. i cant as a single person take care of two people, not only 10 years, but basically 30 years or how long they will last while becoming more vegetable. at least i was a vegetable for the first 4 years..the nerve of some people..personal responsability..what does it even have with all of this ?
yea man buy an old car and riddle it with fancy features: (TPMS):tire monitoring pressure system, Lidar for brake anticipation and also highway cruising, parking sensors and cameras back and front, dashcams front and back (even cameras at the door handles like a Tesla). Tbh i like it when an old car gets modded by third party with latest car features that way u really saving the environment from a ton of metal junk. A BMW or A Tesla are just filled to the brim with sensors, but also more parts mean more breaking parts so there should be a balance between refurbishing an old car and making it basically undriveable with breakdowns.
I read about that as well. i really take chinese tech breakthrough news with a (fat) grain of salt. apple buying all the N3B wafers, and rest of makers waiting for 3E node wafers in 2024..then comes MediaTek and invents 15 Ångstrom nodes..dafuq
as long as the ecu allows u to start ur car even when changing the radio or tinkering with the infotainement system i wouldn't mind..but i probably doubt it: car manufacturers will really tie critical car features to spying hardware so they could reach their end. yea, an older car is the best answer for this. also ecu firmwares and sensors and car parts needd to be open sourced somehow
if they have helped their son to raise sooner on his feet and could afford to live by himself , he could have been at least remotely able to make their life a smooth sail..but when u stuck living with them and has to deal with their shenanigans with nothing significant to expect in return in the future then thats the infuriarating part
i am the eldest at 28. they r 76 and 66 respectively..dont recall me on them going deaf..and i agree: they can be stubborn as a brick, especially when having an alpha dad lol. infuriariting ? can't state enough..but i always pour one out to cope with all of this..and maybe waiting to find someone reasonable i could live with 🤷
i am holding on to my 2006 dumb hunk of metal..no spyware..also solid body instead of those new cars with body made of thin aluminium..or the alternative which would be an impotent electric smartphone on 4 wheels
lemmy.wold eats up most of the feed and eclipses smmaller coms, in a way that i hav to filter it so i could see the niche and curious stuff, which happens to be interesting most of the time.
i remember looking it up on flat, or less likely on snap-store (i rarely open it..so probbaly flathub yea), and it doesn't to be maintained really i agree
