Same here in Canada. I think its legitimate learners. Not sure why you think age has anything to do with it, theres no max age to learn to drive. Hell, my late grandma didn’t get her licence/learners permit until she was in her 60s.
Could be related to an influx of immigrations as well, plenty of people didn’t have the luxury to get a drivers licence or own a vehicle.
That or people are just too lazy to remove them haha.

Unfortunately a lot of consumers don’t understand this. Even if they use “pro” apps daily. These same people will fall for Apples marketing tricks here regardless.

Let’s be real bud, there’d be a Tims on each side of the bridge, and ones always outta chocolate timbits.

Retrotink has been a life saver for me getting all my retro consoles hooked up to my new tv.
- Comment on Cars are a 'privacy nightmare on wheels'. Here's how they get away with collecting and sharing your data 1 year ago:
1: there is, but at this point its pretty niche and scattered. Lots of its hush-hush due to like you said potential security/insurance concerns. Mostly used for cracking and getting system/diagnostics readouts and error codes, Fowithout forking out cash to do so through the so called “proper channels”.
- Comment on Should I replace my SSD? 1 year ago:
Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.
- Comment on Should I replace my SSD? 1 year ago:
Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.
- Comment on Should I replace my SSD? 1 year ago:
You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info
Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.
Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.
- Comment on Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam 1 year ago:
Starfield has its issues for sure. But anyone rating it worse than FO76 is absolutely delusional. Or atleast of we’re comparing launch vs. Launch. Not launch vs. 5 years of active update post launch.
- Comment on Top games for emulator? 1 year ago:
I also enjoy super mario world. Games primo mario action. Super mario RPG is great as well.
OOT and SM64 are great play throughs, and if you’re interested in learning some speed run tech it can expand the fun.
PS2, you gotta play some GTA vice city and San Andreas. Shadow of the colossus is great.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
Ah yes the clips! I stand corrected haha.
I haven’t owned an Apple product since the ipod nano, so the only lightning cables im used too, are user owned devices, which are normally chewed up without the little side clips functioning.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
In that reasoning they made confuses me.
I’ve also never had a usb-c just fallout/ feel non-secure. You’d think with the increased surface area with the usb-c ring fitting between the port wall and the center peg of the port would increases gripyness logically. Vs The single peg insert of a lightning cable.
But eh, im no physics doctor.
- Comment on Anyone Else Having a Blast? 1 year ago:
Yeah thats true, i was mainly giving the poster some leway at a consumer level. I made the swap in my personal systems in 2014 and havent looked back.
- Comment on Anyone Else Having a Blast? 1 year ago:
Brother, im not claiming you complaining about a point of contention is an issue at all. Get off your high horse. We all know the game has performance issues
Also those games you listed are bing impacted by slow access times of your HDD. They just are not impacted as much as the one you are currently complaining about.
Starfield has a SSD listed as a min req for the game. You not meeting the min req WIIL cause issues.
Intel 670p nvme drve is $0.035/gb a WD blue 7200rpm HDD is $0.030/gb. Its a roughly $3-5 difference per TB.
If you really need that $3-5 bro, i can send you it lol.
What about the rest of your specs? You got a pentium 2 in that thing and 512Mb of ram or somthing sheesh? The futures now old man.
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
Ah fair enough, for some reason i read a different mod submitters name. Ty for the clarification!
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
Just use one of the 6 other DLSS bridge mods kekw.
- Comment on Anyone Else Having a Blast? 1 year ago:
Yeah physical spinning disks haven’t been relevant on mondern systems outside of cold data storage since roughly 2016. Price difference between SSD and HDD are pretty much the same up to the 1-2tb range. Its also listed in the minium requirements for the game.
Think its time for a modern storage medium my dude.
- Comment on Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok. 1 year ago:
Wholey depends on the content of said delivery platforms. Tik-tok content does tend to lean towards mindless entertainment. If it was a bunch of learning or information content as the majority, people would have less of stink about it.
Too much of anything is bad obviously.
- Comment on LMG has made a response video to Gamers Nexus' concerns 1 year ago:
Linus always came off to me as one of those people who shouldn’t be mangement. Idk, just watching him in videos feels frustrating, and he seemed to belittle his employees in a joking/non-joking manner.
Some of the other “techs” do seem to be very knowledgeable, and i feel bad for them to have to work under a man child.

As a sysadmin/dev you should know its not a computers = bad situation. It’s God awful system implementation, trash software, trash components, and even worse redundancies.
It’s like you’re saying “why use email, when i can send a physical letter” in some aspects
But I agree these manufacturers produce shit products in the form of vehicle electronics.
