Stellantis is fucking trash. Imagine paying like $70K for a Jeep and then the manufacturer tells you to park it outside, away from your house, and don't charge it. The fact they issued the recalls but don't have a pathway to fix them yet is fucking wild.

One thing that is easy to overlook - use a high quality USB cable to connect the phone to your PC for web installation of the OS. There are many garbage-quality cables floating around out there that may charge a small accessory but could be lacking in the data transfer department.
Karl Jobst has done some good investigative journalism on the auction fraud and the "fractional ownership" trading platform scams.
Historically, auction houses and platforms are often using relationships with celebrities and influential people to artificially boost the prices. The platform provides the veneer of a neutral open-market sale. The celebrity provides the "credibility" of a rich buyer, justifying the record price on the game or collectable.
I'd say don't take any retro game prices at face value, and understand your own local market before buying anything. You can list things for any price you want on eBay. Doesn't mean the product is routinely trading at that price. Wata can list and claim a "sale" at a ridiculous price on their own platform, and currently there is no way to credibly verify that sale was to a real buyer, and not pre-arranged or fraudulent in some way designed to inflate the precieved value of the item.
Is he named after the band?
Been daily-driving Linux for several months now. There are literally zero critical workflows that I can't do just because I'm not on Windows.
40% of things I use my PC for are browser-based. 40% have an equivalent FOSS app. 10% are Windows apps that run fine using Wine. The other 10% I can live without.
If you are going to carry, please for the love, get training. And at this point I'd say avoid the Sig P320 entirely. There's a non-zero chance that dude got clapped partially because his CCW piece discharged while the cop was carrying it away, and the other guys overreacted to hearing a shot.
Yeah, let's not do any of that shit either.
I had completely memory holed The Specialists until just now.
Love how they incorporated the peak Matrix fanboy culture into that mod.
Here's an idea. How about we abandon ragebait shortform slop/garbage aggregators entirely, and stop rewarding them with excessive device permissions and personal data.
In light of recent events I would advise against choosing the Sig P320 as a carry gun.
GrapheneOS is about as close as you will get.
Have burners if you want, but realize that with vanilla Android or Apple iOS on those devices, they will suck up a lot of data about surrounding devices, Bluetooth devices, and wifi networks. This can be probabalistically matched to your real identity even if you use VPNs and you aren't using any known accounts on the burners. As for GPS data, that's even worse.
Its probably best to have at least one "normie" phone you do boring stuff on, a Graphene enabled phone for sensitive-but-not-illegal daily driving, and anything spicier than that should be a burner in a Faraday bag, which you cycle and destroy/discard regularly.

I guess because he has (mild spoiler) 3 total "guns".
