That’s right. It needs to have a RWC when you transfer it into you name, and it never gets checked after that.

You’d think from the $900 it costs to register a car for a year, there would be a budget to have a mechanic look over it for 20 minutes.

Melbourne, Australia: Zero inspections ever.

I purchased a used car a decade ago and I have never had a mechanic service it or inspect it. I had a proper shop do a head gasket swap 5 years ago and I legit think I could have done a better job just reading the workshop manual and having a go.

It won’t get forced into a roadworthy check unless a cop pulls me over for something super obvious like smoke billowing out the side.

I know someone who bought a car second-hand and onsold it 5 years later with the same oil that was originally in it.

I stopped reading when it started suggesting VPNs. Your’re far more likely to be profiled by a VPN provider than your ISP.

Privacy is not a product you can purchase.

Why would you go to Japan to live like a Muslim? I would imagine most Japanese would rather see their population shrink.

I like it, but it’s a desktop layout and they’ll get no adoption until it’s available as a native mobile app

My work PC is so locked down these days that social media happens on my phone even when I’m at my desk.

I can be absolutely certain no apps can access my mic in the background. Even when in the foreground, there is a hot-mic indicator.

It’s such an easy fix too. Create a separate wall that only contains your friends’ OC (not reshared garbage).

It’s about 3 posts per day for someone with 200 friends, but I’d take it.

You’d think they would make it increment every half mile instead of doing something stupid like this.

Not because of advancements in technology, but because of erosion of regulations.

Ray tracing at 24fps is not a big ask for a modern gaming PC.

It’s a reasonable assumption that someone in China is Chinese.

Google has found exactly what you’re searching for. It’s just they can make more money by suggesting something else.

The punishment is 12,000x the crime.

There really should be a cap on this sort of thing.

But hey, I once got suspended in school for stealing 5 cents. I even admitted to quite openly.

The first robot across the finish line, Tiangong Ultra – created by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center – finished the route in two hours and 40 minutes.

The winner of the men’s race on Saturday finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes.

What a misleading headline. This was a 13 mile race. The robots lost by about 8 miles.

I tested my car and the speedometer, trip meter and OBD give 3 completely different values. It’s kind of expected because all manufacturers make overreading speedometers.

I think comparing trip meter/odometer, OBD and GPS is the way to go. It would be amusing if Teslas are programmed to behave when something is monitoring it over OBD.

Just fit your own dashcam. Some models have GPS logging so you can track where it is every second of driving.

Another way would be to log OBDII metrics, and compare the vehicle speed, odometer and time. If you don’t get s=d/t then something is up.

It takes a bit of effort. A chromecast sideskirts your DNS and uses 8.8.8.8. I had to intercept the traffic and redirect it to my DNS server with easylist on it.

I have an open access point and my neighbour’s TV is on it. I’m not sure if it was deliberatel.

Didn’t Musk and Zuck want to literally fight recently? I don’t think they are friends.

I assumed they would log everything and create a profile in you from day one. I signed up with a fresh email account.
