I blame their mothers.

Mine had a 3-speed crash box with an unusual shift-pattern that basically made the theft-proof. It also ran on both LPG and Petrol so I could drive it everywhere without having to refill.

Petrol was reasonably priced back then and LPG was even cheaper.

Since it is the opposite of Overtaking, it is typically called undertaking, especially if you try to undertake a large truck with limited visibility on the passenger side.

Sounds like someone is upset that they can’t get their citizen monitoring software on the majority of citizens phones.

But then she would miss out on dinner, family movie night and other social interactions!

As posted above, same here. We use the Intercom feature on a HomePod to call her down. She hates it because the whole point of AirPods Pro is so she can ignore everyone!

I’m trying to train the rest of our household to use our voice assistant intercom feature.

One of the kids hates that the intercom interrupts whatever she is doing, as far as she is concerned, she ignores everyone else and uses her noise-cancelling earbuds for a reason.

Before anyone asks, I have already trained them to not say anything personal within earshot of the home assistants.

Because the hardware is being made obsolete for a reason. They are inefficient compared to modern hardware, consume way too much power and there are cheaper and more powerful options available.

A modern ARM-based computer like the Raspberry Pi 5 can outperform most computers and laptops running Windows 10 and have a smaller environmental footprint.

The problem is that the obsolete hardware is not cost effective to decommission and recycle. They have not been designed for an environmentally conscious world.

This also provides a minimal level of security against robocall scams.

The only thing complicated about signing up for Mastodon (and Lemmy) is choice of instance.

Some people need that choice made for them, even though it does not practically matter. Most instances federate with content on other instances and it is possible to migrate your content to an new instance if you change your mind in the future.

Fortunately there are regional instances for both for me so it was pretty much a no-brainer for me to use aus.social and aussie.zone
