Blaming remote work, the avacado toast of 2023.

I don’t remember being confused. But it was definitely one of those movies where I had to sit for 15 minutes after the credits rolled to process the emotional impact.

No, you misunderstand. You’re thinking of DHCP. The parent poster is talking about CGNAT, where hundreds or thousands of customers of an ISP may share the same public-facing IPv4 address. It’s impossible to self-host anything in this scenario, there no way around it and DDNS won’t help you.

Oh sheeeit! I used revanced on Android, but I had no idea there was also a Firefox extension for that. Thanks!

Not even, though. Practically all the YouTube “creators” these days have [this part of the video is brought to you by scandanavian interwebz to keep out teh hax0rs] sponsored segments that are [Have you shaved your fuckin’ nutsack lately bro? Check out this ball hair trimmer from clipyerjunk dot com] littered throughout [zzzzzzzzzip … ^reecrootah ] their videos.

That being said, some of them at least put effort into finding and vetting content-relevant sponsors that can actually be helpful. I can kinda just barely tolerate those.

When you unwittingly leave yourself a code timebomb

Agreed. This is well outside the scope of native browser functions. Firefox already has a rich extensions ecosystem. They can just include the extension with the browser by default for all I care, but as a native feature, this makes no sense.

Bruh… read the room. I’m reasonably certain OP’s comment was a lighthearted jab in a community of people who are probably all in good shape.

Sorry, I don’t know where or how I broke the rules, can you show and explain it to me?

No

But then how will I avoid breaking rules in the future?

Yes

They intentionally choose to handle errors poorly.

Just like they intentionally choose to handle updates poorly, DON’T YOU WANT TO REBOOT FOR THE FIFTHEENTH FUCKING TIME AND LOSE YOUR SESSION WITH 29 PROGRAMS OPEN ACROSS 8 DESKTOPS WHILE RUNNING A RENDERING PROCESS?

Meanwhile, Linux: why yes, I’ll update the kernel in-place without rebooting and keep your 784 day uptime.

To be more fair, it should be way easier to use root on Android than it currently is, and it could be done without compromising security.

Like, I shouldn’t have to dig through mountains of unofficial documentation from weird sources, only to the find that, whoopsie, this method doesn’t work for your particular submodel of phone, you have to take this ultra-specific path that’s prone to issues and may not work. Oh, and make sure you backup your entire device, because rooting will wipe it and now you have to spend your entire fucking day restoring everything.

Like, just give me the option to enable root access somewhere in the developer settings. It can even be an obscure (but simple) process like it is to enable developer settings in the first place by tapping “about” a dozen times or something. Put up a half dozen warnings explaining why it’s “dangerous” for mortals to enable root for all I care, just make it work.

Microsoft errors be all like

Contact your administrator

Motherfucker, I am the admin.

Jesse, we need to cook the books

My car just has an aftermarket head unit with BT. I just map my route on my phone and set it in a cubby.

Reality is often disappointing

Nah. Plan ahead, use your phone’s GPS with voice instructions.

There are likely a lot of complexities here.

Battery tech will need to improve greatly and be minimalized. EV batteries are currently massive, heavy, and generally engineered as long, wide, flat modules to be installed beneath the floor so they keep the center of gravity low and the vehicle balanced. That’s not really possible in an ICE vehicle with all the frame molding around existing exhaust and drivetrain components, and you most likely can’t just have some sort of modular battery and motor unit that you just drop into the engine bay, as that would put a ton (literally) of additional weight on one end and mess with the balance.

The draintrain components may need to be replaced or the motor outputs modulated to prevent the torque from ripping it apart.

Power steering and brakes will need to converted to electric assist. AC and heat would need to converted to electric.

Older cars (early 00’s and older) with cable throttles will need to be retrofitted with drive-by-wire, or use some sort of adapter module that connects the cable and converts it to digital inputs. Same with brakes.

All of the electronics (lights, wipers, windows, locks, radio, etc.) will need to be rewired since there’s no longer an alternator.

Probably will need upgraded suspension and brakes to handle the extra weight.

There’s probably a lot more I’m not thinking about or not even aware of. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to happen outside of rich enthusiast circles, which is terribly sad, because I completely agree with you. Basically everything made after around 2010 is total dogshit.

You sound like fun.

We seriously need strict regulations to reign in this bullshit.

Subscription anything needs be illegal unless it’s an active service being provided.

Screens should be flat out banned in cars. Fuck your infotainment and sale features, I don’t care. If we agree that phones too dangerous to use while driving (and they are), then a having a fucking tablet glued to the dash is literally no different. Plus, we’re still in a global chip shortage, we should be conserving them for more important things.

Self driving features can fuck right off. It’s absolutely mind-boggling how these systems are allowed on public roads with zero regulatory oversight.

Most active safety features are bullshit workarounds for shitty design and engineering that create massive blindspots. They also create lazy, complacent drivers who become dependent on tech that subject to equipment and logic failures. Good visibility can’t just suddenly stop working.

Anything bigger than a sedan or station wagon should require a special license for industrial and ag use only. Fuck your compensation-mobiles, they’re literally killing us in more ways than one.

None of this will ever happen because we know who really owns our governments.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
