You can use the app that is the subject of this thread:

Why not use concrete instead of asphalt? This person registered a 20 degree difference between the concrete sidewalk and asphalt road.

Isn't some of this information encrypted, if the app developer chooses?
Another vote for Adguard. it works perfectly.

Heavier users aren't causing the damage though. Heavy vehicles like busses and semi's cause the most damage.

Apple doesn't track anywhere close to the amount of data that Google collects. Equating them is very disingenuous, IMO.
I determine when to change the oil in my car based on how the engine sounds.
That 2022 car has maybe 12 more years before the battery will require replacing, assuming it degrades 1% a year so hopefully prices do drop.
I doubt everything is equal. AVs are likely driving many more miles on the road each day than the majority of other vehicles.
I think people are misinterpreting car free. Car free likely just means more of a park and ride type situation. You hop on a designated bus that will be available at various locations, and that bus will take you to the venue.
As a driver, I have a lot more control of what scenarios I find myself in when driving vs when taking the metro.
Re:US targets surging grocery prices in latest probe on Saturday August 03, 2024 @09:42AM (#41146575)
I don't really run into marketplace items when I use Walmart for groceries unless I seek them out, as they are shipped the same day from the store.
What does one have to do with the other?
how would you know how to reach per-site resolvers?
Higher property taxes generally would lead to lower home prices.

But really, this applies with anything that you purchase. If the sales tax inceases, you may be taxed more for an identical item that was purchased prior to the sales tax increase.

States and cities have a variety of ways to tax people. They don't need to rely on property tax.

Sure, but there are other potential hacks that this leak exposes that marketers may now be focusing on more so now they would have otherwise based on the information in the leak.

Loom in the title got my attention. It is the only reason I clicked on the link.

It is unfortunate this is being discussed rather than the product.

> monopoly of Jewish people in finance

what is the monopoly of jewish people in finance (source?) and how does this cause israel to rank second behind India?

My iPhone 12 Pro Max looks pretty much brand new, despite never being in a case. I really wonder how much those cases really help these days
When I send photos to an android user, I just use a different method. it really is not a big deal.
Apple opened up the app store for game streams back in January.

You should be able to do this with Siri. You can use a shortcut if it doesn't work out of the box.
a lot of that can depend on your commute. If you commute over hills, you can expect shorter time between replacing brake pads.

Having said this, if you can go 70k+ miles with the same brake pads, you could likely go much further than that if the car had regenerative braking.

Can't you backup your device locally?
If you watch the Tom Scott video, the owner goes into the maintenance and why he was selling the property (IIRC).
Re:ICJ Orders Israel to Prevent Genocide Without Cease-Fire on Saturday January 27, 2024 @01:30AM (#39153178)
> Palestinians have over the years engaged in many good faith peace talks.

So has Israel

> Honored their side of many cease-fire agreements.

So has Israel

> The status quo (before Oct 7) was pretty great for Israel and terrible for the Palestinians.

The status quo was partially the result of Israel being repeatedly attacked.

> Palestinians will gladly take any serious peace deal, even if that deal strongly favors Israeli interests, because the status quo is unbearable.

I think that if this was the case, October 7th would not have happened, Hamas would have surrendered, and the hostages would have been returned.

Having said this, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is highly complex.
