That is not exactly what they are saying. You could create a private fork of a public repo and the code in your private fork is publicly accessible.
Thanks. I gave him this suggestion and the one from others about using the manufacturer’s proprietary drivers.
Thanks. I’ll let him know. I think he has either a Canon or Lexmark.
The issue you are experiencing likely has nothing to do with the VPN. Network connectivity is not needed to unlock the car. I have been in places with no cell phone signal and it still works.
I do sometimes experience the same issue you are. If I wake up my phone, then it works. So it may be working for you not because you disabled the VPN, but because you woke up your phone and it then sent out the bluetooth signal to let the car know you were nearby.
Thanks for summarizing this up for us. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
Amazon has been progressively getting worse and worse. I was not a member of Prime for the video. It was a nice perk.
The combination of Amazon making it hard to search for things to buy, the huge amount of low quality crap for sale with confusing descriptions, and this most recent change of putting in place ads if I do not pay an additional fee has led me to cancel my subscription.
They have taken the enshittification too far. Good bye Amazon. Hello Home Depot, Target, et al.
Why not use one of these instead? The main downside I see is that you can’t send messages. But there is no monthly service fee. :)
lol. He is just stirring the pot. It’s what he does. I recommend ignoring him and just using something else. It is either going to sink or not.
Ex-twitter seems to me to be going in a disjointed “by the seat of the pants” direction. It’s like a kid playing with his new toy. “My toy, I make the rules and I don’t care what you think.”
The thing is, it technically is his toy. It is not a global square. It is a private company. I take issue with what has been going on, but my opinions are irrelevant to the situation.
I think you need to search for it on lemmy.world and then subscribe and post from there. I’ve had luck copying the urls and pasting them into the lemmy.world search.
I’ve also been using Duck Duck go. I hadn’t heard about Startpage before.
I’m on the bandwagon of no “smart home” devices that connect to the cloud. I build a lot my own little controllers with the ESP8266/ESP32 using MQTT to communicate with OpenHAB.
OpenHAB has served me well, but I started using it so long ago that I have not tried out some of the newer options like HomeAssistant.
Here is one of the devices I developed a long tome ago. It used an old chimera of a board, the Arduino Yùn. https://www.instructables.com/Introducing-Climaduino-The-Arduino-Based-Thermosta/
The code referenced in the Instructable is much older code. I don’t think I have my current and much simpler code on Github for the ESP8266. If there is any interest, I can push it.
When they give you that QR code for the 2FA app, print it out and file it away. That is the seed.
