In the US that's annoying, sometimes they show price per oz, other times price per lbs.

I have a passkey on CVS, but that YubiKey was eaten by the sewer.

Thankfully I can still log-in with a password & text. But how to reset the passkey? No-one knows.

Edit: I take that back, for some reason they stopped taking the password I used when setting up the account. It's only email or SMS with code verification + birth-date.

I get a lot of these messages via LinkedIn. They say I'm a good candidate for a job, write something, and tell me if I'm interested to apply via <link>. If a recruiter wants a cut, I expect them to work for it. Me filling out a form isn't that.

Unsure if they are real recruiters, or bots. Most of the ones contacted me were based in either Nigeria or Pakistan.

I know it's prejudice, but anytime I click on a Profile and see either of those 2 countries, I immediately hit back and never ever respond/contact that person ever again. It sucks to be an actual good person from those countries, but I don't wanna be scammed

This is not a good defence against being scammed. Like if this is part of your strategy on not getting scammed you should probably go back to the drawing board.

In other words, you’re defense strategy against being scammed should survive talking to someone from these places

Perhaps this is not their entire defense strategy, just the first layer?

I dont know. If u knew how to fight someone, and defend yourself would you still put yourself in situations where you would need to fight someone? You would avoid them in the first place, and then use it if you absolutely have to

I had issues with the Siri Beta. I would ask it to open the garage door, and often it just... failed.

Un-enrolling from the beta fixed it.

— Open the garage door, Siri.

— I'm sorry, OptionOfT. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Quite annoying that you need to get the top plan for 5 cameras, and you cannot get more.

I like tinkering with this stuff, everything around me is a perpetual lab, so I have more than 5 cameras that I'd like to hook up to this. But I REALLY don't NEED or WANT 12TB or storage.

I want all of these integrations to be possible locally, without having to send my data to the cloud.

But I cannot. A lot of these nice integrations aren't offered for fully-local setups.

I wonder if this will change how often people in the USA change their oil.

Comparing BMWs (which are worldwide cars), the oil change intervals in Europe are literally 2x what they are in the USA.

E.g. my previous 2019 M240i (B58 i6):

Europe: every 30,000km or 2 years, whatever comes first.

USA: every 15,000km (~9,000 miles) or 1 year, whatever comes first.

I get that fuel is dirtier in the USA. I get that engines work harder in the USA because of the heat, but a 2x reduction in lifetime?

And this is applicable to ALL the BMWs I've seen.

My BMW M8 with the S63TU4 4.4L V8 takes 10 liters.

Previous one one which had a B58 took 7 liters.

In Belgium it was until 1977 that you could buy the license.

I disagree. I think this happens as soon as the MBAs come on board, where everything becomes a metric, and you work towards OKRs.

You probably don't pay for a copy or move there as well.

You probably don't pay for a copy or move there either.

(I'm Flemish and made that mistake before).
