Confirmation of anecdotes or gut feelings is still science. At some point you need data rather than experience to help people and organizations change their perception (see: most big tech companies lighting billions of dollars on fire on generative AI).

Believe me it's better to be ignorant about this...

Or... They do what they did last time the lifetime was cut down from 3-10 years down to 395 days... Just issue you a new certificate when the old one runs out and up to whatever the time period you bought it for...?

Let's Encrypt isn't the only CA to use ACME, you can auto renew with basically any CA that implemented it (spoiler: most of them have)

I've been using this to automatically skip ads on my Chromecasts (youtube ads and in video segments) for the past year.

It's literally sponsor block but for all of my Chromecasts

You must be new on the internet...

Why would it be risky? I'm genuinely curious if you have any resources (other than Apple's, because they're obviously biased) that show that a third party battery is dangerous.

As far as I know, as long as the battery meets the dimensions, nominal volatage, chemistry/max charge rate/communication to the charging circuitry, discharge rate, it will function safely.

A battery is a battery is a battery. There's no concievable reason I can think of that would require you use an Apple branded battery. If you have evidence to the contrary I'd love to see it. Knowing proper battery safety is important if you mess with them in any capacity (which I do), so something I may not be aware of is important to know.

I mean I have a greyhound who can countersurf, you just put baby gates around the kitchen and food. Keeping stuff out of snoot height/range removes most issues.

Part of it is training them that it isn't an appropriate thing to do. It usually helps that if they behave (and we're eating something the pup can safely have) they get a bit of food as a treat.

Training is a must and especially with a dog that big you need to make sure they know what is expected and appropriate. Doing that sets them up for success and makes it much easier to care for them overall.

That's correct, NHTSA required it federally on May 1st 2018. I may have mixed up some local laws or regulations that happened in 2015 (when I bought my last car they mentioned that all their cars were required to have backup cameras)

You're aware that by law most cars after like ~~2015~~ 2018 have to have a backup camera in the US right?

If it is broken they are literally breaking the law by not fixing it.

Yes, you can have your mirrors and rearview but the camera removes your blindspots that those miss (you know things like a small child that is behind your vehicle). It's a critical safety feature that is broken and needs to be fixed.

edit: NHTSA required it in 2018 not 2015, Canada probably has similar laws on the books too

I'm not a huge fiction person in general, most of the books I read are textbooks/technical manuals or other non-fiction.

Some documentaries are fine, it's highly variable based on the subject matter and how much the director tried to make it "movie-like".

I'm not a fan of music most of the time, I only really listen to it when I'm exercising. It's basically to set the vibe for my brain.

However I do play role playing games quite a bit, which for some reason my brain has decided is not boring.

Podcasts though, make my brain release that sweet, sweet, dopamine drip... I listened to something like 52 days worth of podcasts last year? Again most of the topics are the same as the books I read.

I do consulting, so podcasts fill the void between meetings, if I need to taking a break, or as an escape hatch so if I have a particularly hellish client, I don't fire them.

I don't particularly like having "free time". If I'm not being productive, my brain goes "Ah, I see we decided on depression as our option. Magnificent choice sir!" I basically have to scratch a particular itch my brain wants me to scratch to maintain my mental health.

Which is partly why I'm in consulting, it scratches that itch and I get paid so it's kinda a good gig.
