It matches what the Ford CEO said about the same (or at least very similar) car. Was that also Chinese propaganda?

There are a number of indicators for where someone is from that might be visible to site operators, far beyond a simple IP address. You could try an incognito window (because cookies), as well as changing your region settings.

Beyond that, try spinning up a VM (VMware has a free version, as do many others). Install a fresh OS on it, always pretending to be in whatever your destination country is. Install the (e.g) UK keyboard, select a UK timezone, etc. Install your VPN right away, before opening a browser.

Strictly from a physics/electrical standpoint, I’d like more information on how a single lightning strike can hit 89 people. Shouldn’t it have followed the single fastest path to ground, and hit 1 person?

Most (US) companies don’t consider the US government to be a significant risk to their business, partly because they’re already subject to it.

They also commonly believe that Microsoft can secure these keys more effectively than they could do so in-house. And they’re probably right.

Now, it’s an entirely different story for any companies not subject to US law.

I’ve seen it, too. No idea what’s behind it, but it tries to download a .ts file.

You are correct that apartment dwellers (more accurately, people that can’t charge at home) don’t typically have EVs. But that’s BECAUSE they can’t charge at home, meaning the whole thing will be a terrible experience.

I’m not sure how much it will help to have fast chargers at a grocery store. Even the slowest charging vehicles are done (10%-80%) in about an hour, with most done significantly faster. That limits your shopping time.

All of that said, Electrify America has been doing the same at Walmart for a few years now. They even charge you if you remain connected for more than 15 minutes after charging is complete. So I guess the model must be working for them.

There is a ratio, which may be a new experience if you’ve only used public trackers. It’s not really a big deal if you have some patience, though.

TL (as do most ratio trackers) gives you bonus points for your time seeding, even if you have done nothing more than make it available. You don’t have to upload even a single byte unless someone wants it, and you’ll still get points. These points can be used to buy upload credit.

If you simply keep seeding everything you download, and buy credits as needed, you’ll quickly have more ratio than you could ever hope to burn. No need to spend money or anything.

As for limited content, it’s a general tracker. You probably have niche interests, so you would be better suited on a more specific tracker. I’ve almost never had issues finding anything mainstream, although quality can be a crapshoot. That’s the main reason I usually use other trackers.

It’s not entirely true that you can’t identify him from that Facebook account. It’s just really, really hard.

Facebook almost certainly knows who he is. Like specifically, name and all. Their data mining is VERY extensive, and he likely has other accounts.

Anyway, with a lawyer’s help, you can (possibly) get a court order for Facebook to reveal what they have on the guy. They certainly have things like IP addresses and timestamps, but they also probably have name, other associated accounts, viewing history across the web (from those “share with Facebook” icons/links, even if untouched), and hundreds or thousands of additional pages.

Is it worthwhile? Probably not. But it can be done.

Something tells me the demographics don’t overlap very much. I’m betting that most people going to a club already have and use a Facebook account. Unless there’s a massive cultural difference among young adults in Australia.

Opentrackers.org posts open signups. TorrentLeech is at least as good as the public ones, and it has open signups a few times per year.

Otherwise, you can apply/interview for RED and a few others, work your way up through the ranks, and use the invite forums. This is how you get to the really big and really good trackers. But it’s also a lot of time and effort, which most people don’t want to do.

You might get lucky on the open signups. Every top-tier tracker was once a tiny site with no users. If you join and contribute, they could be the next big thing, and you joined with minimal effort.

New password idea: start with the value of pi, up to the minimum requirements. Each time you have to change it, you add the next digit. Now you’re learning!

When you open the image, at the top right is a button labeled HD. Tap that and try again.

Apparently it’s been there since the Reddit days, but I didn’t learn of it until later.

Sounds like you’ll have to tune in to find out. As will I, because I love a gimmick speed run.

ETA: googling that exact phrase shows a romhack that’s exactly what you think - you start at the end of each level and have to make your way back to the start. Should be fun!

What makes it seem convoluted? It’s slightly more complex than a standard electric stove, but we have and use countless devices on a daily basis with this technology. Very rarely do they have any issues with the charging/discharge circuit.

Yes, the batteries will eventually need to be replaced, and it could be an issue during Thanksgiving (etc) when a ton of power is needed all at once. But I really think you’re overestimating the usage it will get.

In any event, this is why they’re running it as a pilot. Any real-world issues will come to light before a larger rollout.

This is part of a series frequently known as “Microsoft interview” questions. The most famous one is, “Why is a manhole cover round?” They are partially meant to gauge your problem-solving abilities, but more importantly see how you react to a question you did not (and could not) prepare for. They’ve since fallen out of fashion, because it was always a terrible way to gauge roles like software developers.

During US prohibition, there were “grape bricks” with warnings not to dissolve in water and place in a cupboard for 20 days, because then it would turn into wine.

A simple negation probably won’t cut it legally (the bricks had a significant legal purpose), but you could probably word it in a similar way. For instance, “While VPNs are effective at anonymizing yourself during piracy, they can also protect your privacy from data mining ad companies”.

At some point, you’ll have to conspicuously avoid the topic and let people infer. Remember when high-speed connections were advertised as being great to “download movie trailers”?

In my experience, nope. Assuming it works as promised, the situation (usually) gets viewed as a skill gap. You think their code is bad, because you don’t understand it well enough. Unless you are personally willing to redevelop it, of course.

Are they from China/Chinese clients? A number of these are modified to never seed, so they always show as having 0%.

One detail you may not have considered is who can perform the work. While there’s an independent mechanic on every street that can fix any ICE, there’s only a tiny fraction that can fix an EV. You probably don’t even have an EV mechanic like you did with ICE.

That means you’re taking it to the dealer. Dealers are expensive.

Source: I’m in this exact position. I got the 60k warranty, knowing that I probably won’t use much of it.

If you are a complete hard-liner, you’re going to run into one very particular, and peripheral, obstacle: your employer will almost certainly issue you a Windows laptop. It may not be a large part of your job, but it will be there. Very few companies will offer a Mac, and even fewer will offer Linux.

You might have to work as a freelancer, taking on tasks that can be done without Windows. But even something like web dev will require testing on Windows.
