There is no real need to use captured products though, so OP's question is flawed.

Any desire to use said products (or not) needs to weigh the pros and cons of the captured products vs alternatives.

Or if the fuses apply to too broad of a system, the wireless modem should be able to be disconnected.

Manufacturers like to implement this capability using modules which can be used across their lines of vehicles. Here's an example for a 2017 Silverado, but you'd want to research service manuals / diagrams for the vehicle you're considering buying: https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/2017-silverado-removed-lte-modem.660593/

I'd like to think there is a universe where Nintendo and other companies recognize the value that these add to their brands and proactively issue free licenses to use the IP as a component of how they maintain and enforce rights.

I also think it's not limited to poor people. I've absolutely heard well-off people referred to as "white trash" based on their behaviors.

This is the equivalent of saying that MS Outlook is a community. It's not and neither is Lemmy. Each server has its own rules, and each community on those servers can add rules beyond that.

Address a specific community or server, there's no central control over the fediverse.

Because it's tldr: did the article say why muskrat would be subject to brazilian laws?

Yeah, by several years I mean a decade now - how time flies! In the book "The Complete Guide To Making Mead" by Steve Piatz he describes "a predictable and repeatable meadmaking process that can produce drinkable meads after months of aging, rather than years".

Such information is also available elsewhere online at sites like the meadmakr guide.

Like with other fermented beverages, some recipes will have potential to transform more with extended aging while others are better fresh.

The knowledge of how to make good mead has greatly matured in the last several years. With modern techniques there is no need for years of aging! The exception being if you purposely want micro oxidation characteristics.

Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There's only one party, the party of the Oligarchs.

Is not the same as

all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

Refusing to see nuance in the difference between the sentiment of these two statements does a disservice to yourself and your cause (unless you're on the side of the billionaires).

So here you go since you missed the distinction: they can both be (and are) corrupt, without being "the same".

People like to point out all the ways they're not the same and one team is better than the other. Fine. Those things can all be true, and politicians in both those parties are still corrupt.

It was only a couple presidents ago that Democrats had the House, Senate, and President. Even then they couldn't get their own members to vote for anti-corruption legislation.

OP makes a statement that all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

Wrong. OP never wrote that - YOU made that statement as a strawman. You should try to be a more honest person.

Disproves which part of what he wrote?

Or disproves the strawman you set up yourself?

I'm not sure, but your comment seems to imply an assumption that the foam was designed to be external to the air path and is getting unintentionally sucked in? That's not the case, the foam is literally only inside an "air chamber" that the air directly travels through.

I could send you a Cease and Decist notice on my finest letterhead insisting that you stop being a stupid overreaching authoritarian. That doesn't mean a court would uphold it. C&D isn't proof of anything.

That depends on which package you're comparing. As noted before, the lowest 2023 has a towing capacity of 9500 lbs while the low end of the range in '95 was 7500 lbs which is not capable of towing the Kubota skid loader. Comparing the high end of the ranges, the '95 comes in at 10000 lbs vs 13300 for the modern build. That's a huge difference.

Examining the 3rd picture in the OP, it looks like a 2000ish Toyota Tacoma which is no where near comparable having around just 1/3 of the towing capacity of 2023 Silverado 1500s.

The '95 1500 with closer-yet-lesser capabilities has a form factor much more similar to the 2023. The major changes to form follow function. There have been major passenger safety improvements and around 25% improved fuel efficiency. There's more going on under the hood. It's not empty space - just ask anyone who's had to work on one.

No. For workers volume is not the likely issue, weight capacity is - and the two vehicles are very different especially for towing.

While I agree that pavement princesses are stupid, saying:

oversized modern one's that aren't any better at work than the much smaller ones of the past

is either very disingenuous or ignorant.

The image calls out towing and compares something like a Daihatsu Hi-Jet with a Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

In the are where I live, if you're building a retaining wall you might bring a skid loader such as the Kubota SVL65. Weighing in at 3840kg (8465 lbs), the kei truck couldn't pull that with its meager towing capacity of 600kg (1323 lbs). Meanwhile, the lowest 2023 Silverado 1500 has a towing capacity of 4309kg (9,500 lbs).

A popular block used for retaining walls here is 40x30x6cm (16x12x6in) & 37kg (82 lbs). The Hi-Jet can haul 9 blocks in its bed, or about 13 in a trailer. Meanwhile, the Silverado could haul 23 blocks in its bed, or over two full 48-block pallets towed on a trailer.

Which comment in the issue thread leads you to believe that?

The developer's closing comment is that it wouldn't be worth it to implement that feature in Lemmy.

One way would be by implementing features the Lemmy devs have no interest in such as better interoperability with other fediverse platforms. If any added feature turns out to be well received and in demand, it would pressure the others to implement similar.

That way, you don't need to connect them to the manufacturer's (probably insecure) cloud.

The problem is that these projects do connect to the manufacturer's cloud.

I agree that the company is handling this the wrong way, but it is possible for 3rd-party code to negatively impact the service for other users. The right way to address any legitimate issues would be to have reasonable rate limits and work with the developer to fix any concerns.

This is also why I believe in choosing devices with local control instead of those which require cloud services. For example, Louis' video mentions air conditioners. Get one that can use a wired thermostat that you control over Z-Wave or ZigBee.

airbags are single-use. [...] If you test it to confirm you lost the air bag

Please try to avoid presenting your hypothesis as fact. If your third sentence was phrased as a question it'd be fine. Currently it's misinformation.

Of course it can be tested without destroying it. The actual air bag component could be disconnected from the rest of the device and the connection point monitored for the appropriate voltage/current required for activation.
