Thanks!

Yea, poor choice of words...I was in a rush, haha.

At least now the English is mostly correct, but they’re still very bad at describing what niche settings do.

Haha, so true.

Anymore I'm entertained by inwse product labeling.

Latest funny by-line on a product box:

"Just make the product".

Hahahahah

It really depends on where you live.

I've used winter-rated all-season tires that are incredible in icy conditions - Nokian.

I've never seen any claim that winter-rated all-seasons work as well as winter tires (but there's certainly a lack of making it clear how they're different and when to use each).

Each manufacturer lists both, and lists the differences (including things like temperature ratings, traction ratings, etc).

It's pretty clear from the traction ratings alone that a given brand of winter-rated all-seasons are quite different than their winter tire.

Depends on the tire and the winter.

Places where winters are icy and long (NorthEast Coast/Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, etc), you want proper winter tires if you do any regular driving.

If you live somewhere winter has snow, but isn't icy (plains, the non-mountain areas of WY, CO) you can get by on Winter-rated All-season tires, especially if you're in a city where speeds are lower and roads are kept well-cleared.

It all depends on the usual conditions and where/when you drive. I work from home when it snows because it would waste a lot of time to drive in the snow. We only get a little at a time, and it clears quickly, so it's not worth having full winter-only tires, winter-rated all-season are fine.

This is correct - Syncthing will notify you of sync conflicts, and will store the conflicting files in a subfolder of the sync job on each device.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

You create a physical folder on device one, and in Syncthing create a sync job (which Syncthing calls a folder) and share it to device two, defining how the share works, and Bob's your uncle.

From syncthing.net:

Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it’s transmitted over the internet.

Uggh... Lol.

Tasker is probably the most capable, but has a significant learning curve.

Automate and Macrodroid are easier to learn, but more limited.

Maybe start with Macrodroid, get your feet wet. It's easy enough that my simple macros wouldn't help - MD walks you through creating a macro.

Just can't imagine how these people don't see their actions promote greater use of encryption

I think you missed this part:

It's like the sears catalog on the intertubes

You know, where you can edit things quickly, or even have the price update automatically as your costs change.

Yep.

If I have to ask, I'm not going to afford it.

Guess they think they make enough profit in gouging those who call that they don't need to publish for the rest of us.
