I’ve been using Linux for a long time. I started with SLS Linux.

It’s a lot easier now than it was then, but it’s still a lot of fun.

Efficient. Keep the fraud post where the fraud originates.

As intended.

I was just in the apps control looking to check if there were any permissions I could fiddle with for Android Auto, and I noticed “Android Auto for Phone Screens” was still installed.

That was the version that worked when you didn’t have support in your car, but it’s been disabled by Google for years. I didn’t even realize it was still installed. I’m taking a shot in the dark and uninstalled it to see if maybe it was somehow interfering.

Probably not, but it’s not like I have much else to try.

Unfortunately, the issue is intermittent. It sometimes is fine for months. So, the only way to know if it’s fixed is to wait long enough to be certain it isn’t going to happen again.

I’m trying to decide how much irritation my manager can handle.

Thanks for your reply.

It’s always happened, even when the phone was brand new, and it happened with the previous phone as well.

I have used a cable to connect to the port on the car in the past, and I’ve give through several cables.

One of the most frustrating parts about this issue is when googling I just get lots of advice about how to connect Android Auto, nothing about losing signal when Android Auto is active.

I just tried googling again, and the results are all about the phone losing the connection to the car, not the phone losing the cellular connection.

I’m thinking of replying with this:

I replace a phone when it becomes intolerably difficult to use due to hardware failure.

My current phone was bought refurbished in July of 2020. Phone before that was purchased in 2018, and the phone before was purchased new in 2014.

The current one is a Samsung Galaxy S10, and I’m not seeing any reason to replace it yet.

Not only do I love the Godfather and The Godfather Part 2, but this past weekend my wife and I watched the Godfather Epic. It’s the first two movies edited together in chronological order. It’s a bit more than 7 hours in one movie.

It would probably kill you.

Yesterday afternoon, my wife had a doctor’s appointment at the hospital. When she was in the lobby, someone was playing the Godfather theme on a piano. Then I see this post. The universe can seem weird sometimes.

Tell me you were planning to commit war crimes without saying you were planning to commit war crimes.

Although, they’ve also come out and bragged about doing things that are war crimes.

When my wife and I bought our house almost 30 years ago, it didn’t have a fridge or a washer and dryer. It had a dishwasher and a range. We bought the fridge and washer and dryer when we moved in.

We’ve replaced the range twice and the dishwasher, washer, and dryer three times each.

The fridge is coming apart at the seams, but it still keeps food cold. Most of the door shelves are gone. Both crispers have broken and been put back together with epoxy. The deli drawer is cracked such that it falls out of its track and has to be carefully put back. We want to replace it, but every time we get ready to, another large appliance bites the dust and its replacement gets postponed again.

I’m afraid to even talk to my wife about replacing it at this point because it feels like if I mention it, the washer and dryer will go.

I think they just established that we can bring them back if we want to.

Just because RFK jr is a brain-damaged POS doesn’t make vegetable oil automatically the better choice.

They are talking about the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, which suggests that using vegetable oil reduces cardiac disease, but leads to earlier death.

Rejecting science because it happens to be included in the garbage that an idiot believes would make you an idiot as well.

Edit: While re-reading what I wrote, I realize I’m also taking about the scientist who ran the study. He believed that his study would show that vegetable oils are healthier than animal fats. When the results proved the opposite was true, he hid the data.

If you want it to be really good, use beef tallow instead of oil.

The Whitehouse?

I certainly hope the rest of the world is paying attention this time.

I’m not sure how complicated things can get, but here’s something I designed with OpenSCAD that I thought was fairly complex:

If you sing along, the lyrics are, “A dream is a wish your heart makes.”

When I checked earlier, it looked to me like it would be libel because it is a more or less permanent, published piece of media.

Seems like this should be a libel case filed against the YouTuber.
