It’s not the numbers but the content, if they are good natured and have knowledge or entertainment to give the numbers will follow BUT people will also watch a dumpster fire. People with high numbers but lack the rest are not influencers. IMHO, People that go around saying they are “influencers” usually are not and are just bullies trying to throw around weight they don’t have to get free stuff or cause harm.
There are no “real” alternative OS available for apple devices. You can get some IDE “lite” apps like Visual Code, Python Editor, etc. but these a meant as companions to a PC IDE not meant for compiling, linking, testing, etc. You might be able to trade the old iPad for an old laptop you can put a flavor of Linux on.
A lot of independent mechanics will use the manufacturer scan tool and service applications or use a 3rd party scan tool/applications that is licensed through the manufacturer and still uploads the data.
usually not, you have to be the person who stays there, you can’t sublet. And you still have to pay your percentage weather you use your time or not.
Sounds like a time share. You would own a percentage of the apartment with a bunch of other people, You would have to book the time you wanted to use the apartment and you would be limited to the number of weeks you could book as the other people would be there when your not. Also lots and lots of rules!
It gets worse, Auto makers are now building cars with options in them that require an online subscription and disabling access for more than x time will shut off the option(Tesla, BMW, and others do this now). There is talk about putting the car in “Limp home” mode if access is cut (Car will only have 35mph max speed and limited functions, no HVAC, no Radio, etc.)
😂 Jammers might work, but then you run amuck of the FCC, in the US anyway not sure what other countries feel about jammers.
I know someone who is in engineering at one of the big Auto makers, we where discussing this issue and the person told me that even if you remove the SIM (disable cellular internet) The dealer we still upload all the data from the “black box” to the auto maker when they connect to OBD / CAN diagnostic port in your car during service. The manufacturer’s service software just does that now the tech does not even have to initiate it. Also some dealers can automatically connect using RF to your car as soon as you enter their lot, This can be by Bluetooth, WiFi, and/or the CAN bus via the keyless entry module or TPM (Tire Pressure Monitor). There was an issue a several years ago with hackers gaining access to Jeeps while on the road via RF.

Yep, when they ship the AD, tracker, or popup off to another site the block will work but on the same domain it fails to block.

Microsoft’s Bing API services (the source of DuckDuckGo’s search data) went down at approx 3am ET and has not yet returned to service. Bing, DuckDuckGo, CoPilot, ChatGPT and more are unable to use the Bing services so in turn are also not working or not working fully.
You got a nat 1 on your perception check, however I rolled a 20.
good for covering your ears in case of Vogon poetry
I work in IT and users will get upset if you give them the “Please put in a ticket” line. So for the people that might grumble at this stance but there is good reasons for it in addition to not clogging up this community it’s good for QA. I’m new to Lemmy so not sure if the SAs and Devs frequent !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml but I suspect they do and driving support questions to a common spot will help analyze need for new features, UI changes, bug fixes, etc.
Just my 2 cents but I like your stance.
