There’s always a first…

My home value hasn’t started falling yet, according to Zillow, but the appreciation seems to have leveled off.

Please sit on my face

My boss has a Land Rover that was in the middle of an OTA update at one point in the first few months he owned it. Wouldn’t start and appeared basically dead, and he didn’t know it was updating. He had it towed to the dealer and it had finished the update by the time it got there.

Does it really sound that odd? I would expect the exact same from USA-based companies regarding USA laws. Companies generally don’t like hosting illegal content.

That cat is named Maru, and he has a very well documented affinity for boxes.

I had an American-made 2001 Honda Civic that didn’t start having significant problems until it was well over 100k miles. Had an American-made 2007 Accord that never had a major issue with 116,000 miles. Now have an American-made 2023 Integra, and I hope it fares the same.

Edit: but our American-made '96 Astro was a total piece of shit.

I have, and as a tab hoarder, the transition has been rough. I really miss the tab grouping feature from Chrome, and I haven’t found any FF extension that suitably replaces it.

I had already switched to mobile Firefox years ago for extension (uBlock) support, and that was an easy transition.

Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you:

“It is this Court’s opinion that this rule infringes on businesses’ First Amendment right to free speech.”

The car itself should never come with something that will require recurring payments.

Cars already do. Satellite radio has been a thing for decades now. I’ve never used it. Never felt the desire to use it. I haven’t even taken the free trial. I’m less annoyed that it exists, and more annoyed that I’m forever fated to receive unsolicited junk mail for this feature that I have to unceremoniously dump in the recycling bin every couple weeks.

As for the remote start, yeah, it’s kinda bullshit that they’ve removed the more permanent, older version of a feature to replace it with something out of the owners’ control. If anything, it should exist in parallel with the key fob button, not replace it entirely. I’m less concerned about the fact that it’s a subscription than I am about the prospect of that feature dropping support down the road with no recourse for the owner.

A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle doing in the nucleus of an atom. But in this context, Proton is a translation layer that allows games that were built for Windows to run on Linux.

I just meant you’d have access to them. Didn’t mean to imply they were all good. I mean, I owned Shadows of the Empire on N64.

Every Star Wars game…

Flight Simulator

Batman: The Animated Series

Unique art style (it was drawn on black paper), excellent writing, excellent voice acting.

There’s such a reference in a well-known song, Mr. Sandman

Sandman, I’m so alone

Don’t have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
