Let me guess, automatic transmission? I have a manual Rio and I can push it in half the time in third gear. Not redlining anything, just less conservative shifting.

I came here to say exactly that. You can blame Musk for many things, but the cars are only as good as their drivers, and they are some of the worst I’ve seen indeed.

More often than not the annoyance filter hides the popup/consent page in its entirety, without bypassing it, and the website is unusable.

The only things I need are uBlock origin and consent-o-matic.

And then there is “TWP - translate web pages” as long as the native translation function doesn’t cover any Asian languages.

Been using all three since forever, with custom collections on Fennec (Firefox-fork) you could already install add-ons for a long time.

I bought a USB-C to 3.5" converter so that I can use my headphones. If I had an actual jack, I’d be using it every day.

There is no clause regarding lending it to just about anybody who’s asking, so reviewers will get their hands on one regardless.

Though the actually vetted reviewers like mkbhd who then fail to get amazed despite trying really hard actually paint a better picture for me than a known skeptic shittalking it.

That has been suggested for decades, problem is that if any of the transporters blow up on their way to space, you essentially have a dirty bomb covering half the planet. No bueno.

Not at all, but long term storage of exhausted nuclear rods still costs an unknown amount of money endless centuries into the future. So you can’t really put a number on the final bill.

The whole interior setup is flexible and can move around. I’m normally with you on my dislike for videos, but here a visual representation is really helpful. You can watch it without sound though, it’s self explanatory.

Yeah I had to fast forward through that video, it just sounds like an ad. Wasn’t impressed by a long shot.

They allow extensions to be sold and completely reworked without telling the user jack shit. So I doubt they care about that either.

And how, prey tell, should a music streaming service that delivers suggestions based on your preferences deliver content if not by analyzing your listening behavior?

If you’re afraid of that, then there’s no music service whatsoever you can use.

I’m in China and work as head of IT security for a European company. As such I monitor my phone religiously for any transgressions. Netease Music works with zero permissions (unless you want to use the downloader) and doesn’t try to exfiltrate any data whatsoever.

Install PCAPdroid and see for yourself, you can monitor all traffic on system level on a per app basis.

Yeah I’ve been using NewPipe x Sponsorblock for about 5 years, the main benefit with Spotify was that frequently accessed songs are stored locally, while newpipe streams them all over again, unless you explicitly download them. And the spotify algorithm was much better at suggesting related artists, my youtube algo is overwhelmed from all the non-music stuff I watch.

NetEase Music. It’s a spotify clone from China, and the VIP version costs like $1.20 a month.

It doesn’t spy on your phone and requires zero permissions (I’ve tested this extensively), but you will need a VPN set to China, Hong Kong or Taiwan for it to work (assuming you don’t live in either place).

I’ve used it for a few months, and every time after 60 days exactly spotify killed my account.

It’s nice if you just want to listen to adfree music, but not to actually build a library you can rely on.

Time to consider Xitter a hate group and ban them.

Allegedly. And no proof was presented. The letter cited was nowhere to be found.

Fennec is also using Gecko.

So which country has neither wind, water nor sunshine then?
