Not only do I use pi-hole, my so called smart TV never connects to the Internet in my household. Hell, I don't buy any smart devices period.

Vampire$ is criminally underrated.

"Tough" questions and no consequences.

Perhaps battery swapping tech for larger vehicles makes sense, depending on the usecase.

Municipal waste collection seems like the perfect usecase for electrification. Low speed and frequent stops.

Was there an issue on the desktop? I just use wired because I don't need my desktop (Fedora) to be wireless.

I bought the GuliKit KK3 MAX and have nothing but good to say about it.

I use it with the Steamdeck via Bluetooth and wired with my desktop. You can also switch out the stupid Nintendo button layout for the normal one. Also, no proprietary software needed to configure or update it.

Thanks!

The date IS the major/minor version. Knowing when the thing was released is bonus metadata. A lot of people find it useful.

Hell on earth? Not even close. It's a parking lot. I don't get the hate this particular lot gets.
