It’s time for Americans to embrace small cars

400 miles doesn't get you halfway across a single state in the western US.

Well if you broaden the definition that much, then it sounds like iPhone batteries are already user replaceable since I can easily purchase the necessary tools from iFixIt.

If that's really the definition, it's an awful definition and exactly why we shouldn't regulate stuff like this. Torx are objectively better than Philips or flathead in every possible way.

Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

Ah, that's interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

FYI, I don't always see local posts (although I'm trying to explicitly take a look at the local tab once per day). If you post stuff that you hope I'm going to see, please mention me so that I don't accidentally ignore you!

Satellites Are Rife With Basic Security Flaws

2y 10mon ago in technology from www.wired.com

Are you speaking from first hand experience? I don't have experience with commercial satellites, but I can say from direct experience that scientific satellites and other spacecraft absolutely run a (real-time) traditional OS these days (and even a decade ago). That said, we do take serious measures to secure our vehicles. I don't think I want to say any more than that given the nature of the discussion.
