Doesn’t matter, google is well known for tracking related accounts using a variety of methods - be it location data, connected IP, tracking cookies, device proximity, even things like usage habits, etc.

Every country has a different way of securing cards, and north america sucks at it.

Depending on the payment processor, here in Canada you need my card number, as well as one or two of the following: PIN, Postal Code, CVV/CVC, a voice changer and my mother’s maiden name, etc to do a transaction without my physical card.

With my physical card you don’t even need that for $2-300 purchases (depending on retailer), or more if the retailer hasn’t blocked swiping/the thief has access to a swiping card reader.

Jokes on you, I hated all of them.

My car was too cheap to have an electric liftgate, though I don’t know if I can open it with a dead battery - never tried, and never had a battery so dead it needed replacing that urgently. Very possible it doesn’t open with a dead battery though, at least if the vehicle is locked when the battery dies.

An old escape maybe? Mine is a '21 and definitely not like that.

I wasn’t trying to disprove the point, I was just curious what ford vehicles the battery is up front and impossible to remove.

And honestly, for how often a battery needs to be removed, under the spare tire in the back is not bad at all, and there are still jump points under the hood and easily accessible. Clearly labeled too.

Really? My battery is under my spare in the trunk.

My lithium batteries on the other hand I think you have to remove the back seats to access, but I honestly hope I can afford to trade it in before I need it.

Ah, didn’t know it worked differently for spdif, never had anything nice enough to use it.

But there is a setting to disable that? I don’t remember where I found it because I don’t remember where to find any settings, but you can definitely disable automatic shut off of audio devices.

Their habitat has also shrunk so much, and their population dwindled so much, that they have gotten fairly inbred and that is causing more aggression and insanity.

There is also a female polar that keeps breeding with grizzlies, and those offspring are consistently more aggressive and dangerous.

Did the ringing finally stop?

Most companies charging for dlcs are AAA devs, not indie. I assure you they can afford to keep the lights on.

We don’t even own our shitty coffee anymore, and most of our mcmansions are owned by foreign investors.

Air cooling and closed loop coolers have gotten better, and honestly no one can afford to spend $3000 to get 3° lower temps any more.

A series of unfortunate events was pretty bad for me.

My grandpa kept buying them, and i read them because I didn’t know how to not reqd a book given to me, but they definitely taught me how to say no to a gift.

This reminds me, I should put my default search engine back to whoogle again.

Neurolink has been used on 1 disabled person, and it was “working” for about 2 weeks before it was announced there are “problems” with the connection to the brain.

Oh, and it has killed a bunch of monkeys.

BC actually has a tax exemption on used EV sales already, it hasn’t helped.

Honestly though, put in a passenger train through all the small towns that goes 100km/h (or more) that runs 3-4x a day and I would go back to only owning a bike I swear (though not really, winters up here suck).

Regardless, a solid, affordable train service would remove my need for a hybrid over a full EV completely.

I definitely agree that I am an outlier, but due to the size of Canada and how many remote towns there are (especially in western Canada, which Ontario and Quebec pretend don’t exist), there are an unfortunately high number of outliers.

Honestly, more than getting everyone on full electric cars that don’t have the range needed to compete convenience-wise, Canada needs to invest in better long distance transit options, be it better (preferably electrified) bus systems, or expanding on our train systems (and stop price gouging the very few passenger trains we have).

The most recent failed response to poorly trained drivers was tripling the tuition cost without offering any subsidies to help pay for it… And companies used it as an excuse to stop covering even the amount for training they used to.
