RCS isn’t good enough. There is only one app that it works on. Sometimes, no… often it just doesn’t work. I’m currently starring at a thread that used to work, but now I can’t send messages too. I made it! Everyone had rcs.

Fuck the whole thing.

OK good advice. Thank you

Oh this is great, thank you

That is great news. But you guys get so many more options than the USA does. I guess that makes sense.

I know all capitalists see lines going down as bad, but that is still a ton of cars and profit. Oof.

Maybe you don’t realize but one of the major issues with modern cars is firmware compatibility. Porsche is super egregious about it, others do it. But basically let’s say you take a gearbox out of a specific car because it’s wrecked. You need a laptop from a dealer to pair the replacement. They not only will not sell you the software or connector, they have legal protections that say they don’t have to.

Hell, even DRIVE your car.

Ok since no one here is giving actual information, there was a guy on Rich Rebuilds channel a few years ago that had done a lot of work in this space. I think it was this video: https://youtu.be/o-7b1waoj9Q

Any way, at the time he had made a ton of progress on the hardware. I don’t have the mental energy right now to dig in to see how it’s gone, but feel free to do so and post back.

Sync

Agm is fine, but I’d guess you really need a trickle charger more. Also something might be sapping power, like something plugged into a USB port.

I’ll second bitwarden. I also have proton-pass but use bitwarden.

The fact it’s in fdroid is great

This is really sold advice

I did not realize they had an authenticator… That would be convenient. I think I’ll do that.

I think I need an education. What do you mean if I have the key? When I look at bitwarden settings, I do see a setting for “Log in with passkey” but it’s different than the Two-step login. EDIT: wait, I think I see, under the two-step login there are providers for Authenticator app, Passkey, yubico key, or duo. I think I get it now.

No

Yeah, but it also usually outperforms SPY.

Typically it is cheaper.

I’ve posted this on lemmy once before, but assuming you’ve maxed your 401k or other retirement, my go to strategy has been to buy a few shares of VTI every paycheck. If there was anything left over, or I couldn’t afford VTI, I’d buy SPYG. I’ve been doing this for a very long time and it has paid off well for me. I’m not rich enough to stop working, but if I lost my job for a while, I’d be fine.

Then on a personal level, join a local sport. In my area there are a bunch, indoor soccer, flag football, volleyball, rock climbing, etc… This gets you cardio without having to force yourself to go to the gym.
