“Not available” in a given country doesn’t really mean anything these days. You can buy anything online and get it shipped anywhere. The question I have is does it work on American wireless networks? Because if it does, you can figure out how to acquire a phone…
Did someone say “bribes”? I take bribes!
Explicitly not the point of my post…
Yeah, Musk has gone insane, anyone can see that.
But Musk aside, LEO satellites are still really the only viable and economical solution to the problem of broadband in rural areas, and Starlink seems to work great.
Also, the objection that resulted in pulling this funding looks pretty bullshit. Several other broadband providers are getting these same funding deals for doing basically nothing.
Right! Big surprise, politically engaged people are generally angrier. And angry people can be a bit of a dick.
That all checks out…
when was the last time Hollywood made a creative movie?
Most Pixar films. They’re entirely animated in cg, and yet I highly doubt the ability of an ai to generate a better final product.
no versions for systems other than Android and iOS
requires phone number (common argument)
Ok, those are legitimate complaints, and I suspect they’re related too. It would be nice to have a web client.
hard to integrate bots, notifications and automatic services for the future use
Personally, I’d say that’s a feature.
Signal is super giga great, the cons list is short, but if we want everyone to use something it has to be an universal protocol, not one app.
To be fair, signal is an open source protocol that anyone is free to implement. Signal protocol
I realize now that I misunderstood the objection, I thought you were saying that using signal was an unreasonable level of paranoia, but I can totally see why turning off notifications seems that way.
Ah, fair enough.

But why?
In a nutshell, yeah that’s pretty much it.
Does it make sense to have local government? A mayor or a city council that decides how to run a town? You could (and certainly will) end up with with situations where some things are generally legal in the country, but illegal in some specific towns.
States are really no different.
This doesn’t matter because everyone should be using signal.
Or until you overwrite that malicious logo again?
This is what I’m wondering
I gotta be honest, it’s great and all that obd is a standard, but… How about a simple USB port?
I mean seriously… A freaking USB port.
Yeah, the battery is gonna weigh a lot.
You need a 20 lb electric motor to have absolutely butt-kicking torque in an EV.
That makes sense. Currently I have my raid split, so 10tb are primary media storage and 10tb are backup. My plan is to set my internal raid to be entirely media storage and use the Synology as just a simple network backup system. This will at least double my storage, good enough for now.
I use the headphone jack every single day, both with my headphones and with an audio-in cable for my car.
I’d be lost without it.
Also, I’ve tried Bluetooth headsets and they’ve all died on me for various reasons. I want relatively high quality headphones, and whether they’re wired or wireless, good sound tends to cost more. But I don’t want to spend more on something that will die quickly, so it’s wired headphones for me.
