We hear about all the young people making a big deal of their successes in their early years. Twenty-something tech gurus or entrepreneurs that make their fortune early.

Who here is past 45-50 and maybe made a switch or restarted and found success and a modicum of happiness in their new position?

Let’s clarify this title a little. White hat hacker found a way to see the poorly secured database containing said info. It hasn’t been stolen or found on the web, so it wasn’t “leaked” publicly in the sense that it was deliberately made available.

Windows 11? Ads. New outlook program? Ads. Old outlook iOS app? Now injecting ads there too.

Ads are a cancer on the internet.

Yeah, but if you start labeling neighborhoods as “bad” on a mapping program you have a different set of problems.

People need to be aware of their surroundings and not cluelessly follow programs like this.

What the F, TJ? Want to make a loyal customer of 15+ years quit? This is how you do it. We’re a union family, we vote with our dollars too.

FTR I’m generally against the death penalty, so same, don’t give me grief. I’m of the opinion that if it’s gonna be done, don’t fuck it up.

Ok. So regarding the implementation it sounds like they fucked it up. As you said (and I previously implied) it sounds like they didn’t properly exclude oxygen/remove waste CO2. Kinda hard to believe they fucked up something so simple considering the ton of evidence on hypoxic accidents.

I’m curious how they implemented this. The air completely has to be replaced with nitrogen, no breathing in a mix of nitrogen and outside air, no oxygen at all. People that enter confined spaces with no oxygen pretty much just drop and are dead quickly, so this doesn’t sound like they did it right.

IMO they didn’t crush anything?

The apathetic remained.

Those who have niche communities that aren’t available elsewhere likely remained.

Several of my subscribed subs are completely gone or functionally extinct due to lack of participation.

Anecdotally I find reduced participation in other subs, people seem less willing to have a discussion.

Personally I’ve moved on to Lemmy/KBin/etc. and spend most of my time there now.

But “crushed”?

So they’re taking shows away from people who have already purchased them and moving the shows to other services in order to try to make potential customers subscribe to more services?

Fuck those guys, especially for ripping off people who already paid for the content.

Here we go again. Instead of being forced to subscribe to shitty bundles of cable channels in order to get the channel you do want, we’re being forced to subscribe to multiple shitty services to get the shows we want.

This industry is a one-trick pony. Literally giving the worst service they can to force people to subscribe to more services.

You forgot conservative/republican, anti science, reactionary, pro-gun, etc. just being white and Christian isn’t enough because you can still be a liberal or have some actual intelligence.

Too poor to have the time to educate themselves, look for other jobs, or move. Not much has changed with Walmart, infamously they have been making the taxpayers prop up their employees’ low wages and benefits for decades.

…and the Native Americans.

Then you shouldn’t worry about being monitored.

I’m not the enemy, but my speed is checked by radar, my license plate read by automatic scanners cameras on police cars, my internet activity monitored for DMCA violations, etc.

Join the rest of us, you don’t deserve to be an exception.

DIY PHEV? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Been mulling this over and did some digging on the internet but can’t find a solution or really any advice on the issue. Is it possible to DIY your own PHEV? Plenty of PHEVs out there of every stripe, consumer cars, Supercars and even LMDh cars that are gas/EV combined and some are incredible performers with the combined output of the electric and gas motors.

Doesn’t seem like there’s anyone trying it from a modding perspective. I assume that logically there’s a lot of software managing the interplay between the motors, regenerative braking and the like, and this is probably the sticking point. Man, I’d sure love to find a plug’n play setup like an AIM system or Holley controller that you could program the values for the “tune” of each system and go.

Just a pipe dream, I guess? Has anyone seen such a thing?
