Oh I agree with you and am not defending this practise. Was just trying to explain why it’s done.

All four seats are heated for free if the battery explodes… /s

Because it’s cheaper for them. Building all the cars the same simplifies production and inventory management. They don’t have to configure each car for the end users requirements; they just use software to turn these features on.

The question that should be asked is if they can put these features into the car and still make a profit why are these added features so expensive as all the fees are 100% profit!

Check out the extension ‘cookie autodelete’. Enables you to set safe sites and will automatically delete all the other cookies when you navigate away from a page of close the browser. It’s real simple to configure and works a treat. It’s also available for chromium browsers. (I use it in Edge for work purposes)

I thought it was supposed to be the best privacy browser but after reading these comments my view has changed completely and have switched all devices to Firefox.

Smartdns is your friend for iPlayer and other UK geo fenced public tv services. Been using it for years and years…

Deleted all my comment and post history from there when I was directed to Lemmy. Zero regrets. Have not looked back. Find the engagement here far better; proper discussions without the trolls. Loving it… Also tried Mastodon and enjoying that too even though I never used twitter.

Used to spend hours each day on Reddit and was active contributor on the subreddits I subscribed to. Hoping we get some of the less popular and specialised communities here so we all got to make an effort to support the smaller ones by posting and commenting.

This applies to other electronic devices other than just phones right? Are things like tablets, earbuds, smart watches, etc also covered?

What have google brought new to the market before killing it before it gains momentum? My prediction is for them to fall first out of the big tech companies.

In A.I they have lost the race already and the competitors are going to eat their web search in the not to distance future. The biggest thing they have right now imo is android and that only on mobile phones as the tablet is dominated by Apple.

They have lost trust with the tech savvy as we all know their products have such a short shelf life and we have been burnt before. They have very few chances left.

It’s a sad fact but the vast majority of my fellow country people are bloody idiots and as long as there’s something good on the gogglebox or the local Wetherspoons is still open then there’s bugger all to complain about.l and they will tow the line.

Brexit / tories / civil liberties eroded such as the right to protest all went ahead without a hint of rebellion. Now it’s their privacy and more civil liberties that are being taken and hardly anyone is taking any notice. It really is a sad state of affairs.

Many thanks for sharing Kathie. Been looking for a music player that was actively supported and open source. (Am old school and used Winamp in the past for the mp3 collection)

That’s great. Many thanks for coming back on this.

lol, none taken…

I think more people do this type of management than you would imagine. There are plenty of mail apps that have options to allow you to bcc yourself for each mail sent.

There’s a lot of cases I can think of where you would want to apply a rule or process for a sent mail; this has always been possible in previous versions of Outlook but there are no options to do this in this preview version.

The nail in the coffin for me was the rules engine. You can no longer apply rules to messages you sent. I have a rule that moves my sent messages into the inbox as to be able to file all mails into categories such as “requires attention”, “waiting on someone else”, “expenses”, etc.

Couldn’t find an option to bcc myself on each mails either which would have achieved the same.

This is the way I have worked for years and is my natural workflow so is critical for me.

Amen! Recently had a major project with Microsoft and an external partner and thought teams would be an ideal solution to share data, calendars, plans, etc. Nope! The switching of accounts made it totally unworkable; even with the support of the senior microsoft engineers a workable solution wasn’t found.

Will give it a try tomorrow then. (The outlook beta really put me off)

If you switch to another account does it sign you out of the others? This causes us real issues in our company. Basically we have a holding company and several other companies each of which is run independently with different tenants. If we have a teams site and want to share with users from the holding company we have to create accounts on our domain which then makes them unavailable on their tenant when they switch. It’s a pain in the bum; several sites that would she great as teams sites are instead hosted as sharepoint sites due to this.

I hope it better than the new outlook which is in test. I tried it for 2 days before switching it off. It’s truly awful.

That’s great to know… Ty.

It a dilemma isn’t it. If you had a business partner that decided to change the terms of the relationship so that you felt you had to leave would you let them keep the intellectual property to allow them still to make money from whilst you had nothing?

I thought about it long and hard and decided that I would take all my information as an archive and remove it from reddit. Once we have an alternative I will be more than happy to upload it to another resource.

I was looking for support for a network issue and google returned me to several Reddit posts. Everyone of them was deleted or the sub was private. It’s usefulness it’s diminishing real quick.
