I thought that a major reason humans were so successful is because the older members of the tribe could protect the children while the others hunted.

I only run ublock origin and I don't see ads. How would Pi-Hole help me?

A major use case seems to be ads in phone and tablet apps.

I also use ublock origin in Firefox on my Android phone though!

Makes sense if you're on iphone.

Is there any way we can make those lunatics work for those weeks, so the sane people can take more time off to actually live their lives?

It's about controlling expenses after having a large income.

With a small income, everything goes on necessities. FIRE isn't possible.

old.reddit.com is still ok. Don't tell anyone or they'll take it away.

I have an auto-redirect userscript set up in Firefox so I never see reddit.com.

Adblock bro.

The day I can't block ads is the last day I use youtube.

Everyone knows a major catastrophe is coming. Scientists have been talking about the tipping point for like five decades now.

It's a done deal, we were too stupid.

Is it really that onerous to turn headlights on manually? That's not a feature that I envy.

It switches automatically from low beam to high beam. Very useful as I don't have to continously fiddle with the switch. The auto lights and daylight running lights are standard on all new cars. I love it. I never forget to turn on the lights. Even if the illumination from streetlights is sufficient to see, we also have to be seen by ohers.

Interesting how the question is about disabling collection, but the answer is about connectivity.

The perfect modern consumer/sucker...

My car needed another key. The stealership quoted me >$400 for it. I took it as a personal insult and did the research and ordered an OBD device and also discovered you can order replacement keys on aliexpress, and they'll even cut them for you with a good picture of your existing key. It was actually a fun project and very satisfying when I was able to successfully program and link the RFID chip to the ECU to start the engine.

May not be feasible with more locked-down modern cars which I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, but I was able to fix it for about $150, not including my time of course. But I have the OBD device to use next time now as well.

I needed a ford key, but only had a single key.

I bought a kit off of amazon "simple key" that included a programmer and a key with rfid chip. I think about $80.

You plugged the standalone dongle in the OBD2 port, did a procedure and it would take a few minutes and you would get an "original" key.

(The programmer said it was then locked to that VIN)

They key blank provided needed to get cut (did it at home depot).

I could then get additional rfid blanks for $7 and cut and program them.

Once you had two original keys, you could do the "DIY programming" method to make keys 3 and up.

The DIY method was something like "insert key 1, wait 3 seconds, remove, insert key 2 wait 3 seconds remove, insert new key, wait for something, remove" and you would get key 3, 4 ...

There were similar but separate ford procedures for programming the buttons on fobs to lock/unlock doors, etc

What's your plan for the future? I have an old car, but I know it won't last forever.

My plan for the future is a trailbike, a tent and a shotgun.

But with regard to a car, I don't know. I'll just do the best I can when the time comes. I'm hopeful there'll be options available or where I can cut antennas or whatever.

Which I read this a month ago. Mazda dealer charged me $450 for mine. I figures the entire system is propietiary, so they can charge whatever they want.

Excellent. Sounds about what I’ve paid.
