At the moment, about all you can do is let others know and submit the log to EFF so they can better understand how these stingrays are being used.

Or I guess if you’re feeling froggy; look around for a van/trailer with suspicious antenna(s).

I flashed a $10 orbic to take to local protests.

What a roll model.

Don’t worry, it’s still sufficiently janky. Apparently the databases containing all that info just disappear when the companies shut down.

Kind of I guess. Didn’t have home internet so I would park my car in a home depot parking lot with a laptop torrenting off the public wifi and then walk the rest of the way to work.

No; I don’t think there will be.

An attempt at optical camouflage.

Anecdotal, but I ran a box fan in that exact orientation (facing/blowing down) for years with no issues. I used it for an overhead fan in a garage.

I think the word you are looking for is pedant.

Better vocabulary will help get your point across better. Without also sounding like an edgy atheist teen.

You 3D print something with no serial and it’s untraceable.

Except for all the metal parts they used a debit card/paypal to buy.

For what it’s worth I have yet to actually physically see a new vehicle without an oil dipstick.

It seems to be mostly a euro thing. BMW stopped using oil dipsticks nearly 2 decades ago. Land Rover also somewhere in the late 00’s.

But I agree it’s a moronic idea. Not only does it prevent you from checking oil condition like you said; if it’s after an oil change, it takes about 15min just to check the level (and another 15 if you messed it up). At $150+/hr shop rates, that adds up.

Yoga 11e here. Fedora (Plasma Edition) worked perfect right out of the box.

Hell yeah. This will help scratch that Stalker itch while the newest one gets a little more time in the oven.

Edit: it didn’t. :( They managed to make them worse.

Is that even remotely feasible without spending more money than it would take to buy a rolling medical center?

Here’s a decent rundown.

Won’t anyone think of the children poor Apple, Boeing, Nike, & Starbucks? How will they survive?

Easy fix.

“Pokable” was my first hope too, but it doesn’t look so.

Well, my original question stands. Is it really a better business decision to choose not to sell at all vs raising prices.

I run a US business where the cost of materials has always been volatile and the cost of the end product follows that. 40% swings aren’t uncommon and just get passed onto the end user; my profit stays relatively the same. So I can’t fathom just locking the doors when things get expensive (and people are still willing to pay it).

I could understand it if they were doing it as some form of protest, but then it doesn’t make sense to only stop selling the low priced options. That’s just hurting the people furthest removed from what you are protesting.
