what happened to K.E.V.I.N.!?
just wait until "5g" network slicing becomes more of a thing, soon you'll see all these manufacturers putting UE chipsets in them to bypass end user wifi completely... that's really what the commercial IoT vision has been about all along, big data => dangerous (🎵 cool 'indie' music plays 🎵)
100% agree, it's also how I keep my 98 Camry alive outside the occasional trip to the junkyard.
meh, it still has some use. my dog tore up the plastic housing on garage door sensors out of boredom and there was no way i was calling a local place to quote out parts for a 14 year old opener... found the same pair of sensors (albeit used) on ebay for $25. a little dog proofing later and bingo bango, back in business. but usually it's my last resort for obscure stuff that i can't find anywhere else and i have to be really desperate.
that and the flowing stream of doody down the rear window, keeping true to his name i see.
I dunno why, but the "known for ReiserFS, murder" made me laugh harder than it should have.
Brother®, I know what you mean
hell yea! and peter fucking weller too, the only robocop in my book. it may not be the best looking game, but that alone sells it for me.
another thing with the iPhone/Apple ecosystem is everyone having roughly the same experience for a given generation... the android platform is a wild west of varying degrees of hardware performance and capabilities. take a cheap ass carrier branded phone vs. an S23 ultra... both are running the same underlying android OS, but the carrier phone is going to be a barebones platform barely capable of running anything other than the OS... and then you factor in how well the manufacturer integrated their crapware on top of android, people willingly pay the Apple tax for a reason. personally, i'd never give up my s23u for an iPhone, but i'm also not Apple's target demographic.
98 Camry has joined the chat
Another old girl that refuses to die, but sure likes to keep me busy and my wallet empty. I'll get maybe a few weeks to enjoy the peace before something else decides it needs replacing, but luckily I do all the work myself... easy enough these days with YouTube and Toyota Camry forums.
the upfront cost for something like geothermal is still outrageous, though. anecdotally, i bought my house with an older unit that ended up catastrophically failing after the reversing valve got stuck and destroyed the compressor. only 1 local shop in the area serviced the thing (same people who installed it when the house was built...) and the unit had long been discontinued since the company that made it (hydro delta) went bankrupt years ago. it was over $15k to put in a new updated unit... luckily my home owners insurance (with the help of a rider i added a year earlier that covered home systems) footed the bill, albeit after a long and arduous battle with the 3rd party shits that state farm outsourced it to. now this new system has a 10 year warranty on parts and labor, otherwise, i would have switched to gas in a heart beat. i can put in a new gas unit every year for 10 years at the same price... so while the geo's monthly electric bill is nice, i wouldn't dare install a new residential build with geo... plus add another easy $50k for the loop field if it's a new install.
i'm afraid what's going to happen once then 10 years are up since that always seems to be about the time major home appliances fail... probably try to move by then so it isn't my problem, lol.
