Interesting. I’ve never had an issue with it over multiple insurances. Maybe it’s just the plans my employers went with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same, I loved my Pebble Time Steel. I still do, and I still wear it sometimes (still got a week long battery life), but my daily driver is my PineTime.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 1 hour ago:
I have a decent sense of time
I don’t lol. I mean can check outside, even out in the middle of nowhere, and have a rough idea; but I like knowing it because that’s just how my brain works.
and an abundance of options to verify it
Sure. Phone, computer, microwave, oven, TV, wall clock, city clock tower, someone else’s watch, etc. Again, I like having it right where I can find it.

Pine64’s Pinetime is pretty close. I use one. I like it.

As a friend once wrote, “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”
I mean, some of us kinda need that.

You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.
Do you know why most people don’t get those?
Insurance won’t cover them.
My insurance covers this.

Sure Bobby. I went and got myself an open-source “smart” watch that pairs with another FOSS app that doesn’t send anything outside of the device.
What? Not like that? Oh, too bad.

- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 2 days ago:
The ~2010 runaway Toyota hysteria was ultimately blamed on mechanical problems less than half the time. Floor mats jamming the pedal, drivers mixing up gas/brake pedals in panic, downright lying to evade a speeding ticket, etc were cause for many cases.
I owned an FJ80 Land Cruiser when that happened. I printed up a couple stickers for myself, and for a buddy who owned a Tacoma, that said “I’m not speeding, my pedal’s stuck!” (yes I’m aware the FJ80 was slow as dogshit, that didn’t stop me from speeding).

Wow. Every time I read about Comcast I’m reminded why I hate them so much.
I pay $89/mo for gigabit fiber and a static IP through a local ISP. Not comcast. Hopefully never again.

Easier for the gullible maga base to remember and parrot as if the title actually means anything. You know they don’t actually read the bills, they only know what fox tells them.

It says Honda right on the side of the engine.

Of all the manufacturing companies, I would expect nothing less from Honda.

I run portable Firefox on my work PC. I refuse to use chrome. some of our apps require Edge, but outside of that, I don’t touch chrome.

There’s already an app for this, called Goblin Tools. It breaks down tasks for you into more easily digestible subtasks.

Elitism?
Dude. I am an almost 50 year old, former truck driver with no formal education on any of this shit, and yet, I managed to figure it out.
“I, a person of low self-esteem, figured it out. You’re stupid and lower than me if you can’t do the same thing”
That’s literally elitism, my dude. You’re acting as if figuring out a specialty task somehow puts you on a higher pedestal.

You need to readjust your point of view, friend. It’s not a skill issue. It’s a “most people don’t have the kind of experience necessary to even begin to understand what goes on inside the magic internet box” issue. You’re speaking at a completely different level than most people understand.
- The average Joe doesn’t possess that capability in the slightest. It’s just Bob from Finance. The only time they interact with a computer in any meaningful capacity is at work, where IT fixes their problems.
- The average Joe is someone who declares “the wifi is broken” when they forget the password to their online banking portal.
- The average Joe will take their kid’s stick-drifting Nintendo Switch to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and get upsold a Switch 2 instead of listening to their kid and getting it fixed at the local repair shop next door for $50.
Do you see where I’m going with this?

That’s an auction, my dude. It’s already at $26, not including the $22 shipping charge.

It takes a special kind of router to have such settings
Eh, most good quality routers from reputable companies can handle separate VLANs just fine. My old Asus RT-N66U had that capability right out of the box. I use Unifi now, which obviously has that as well, but I’d be surprised to
