At the moment, about all you can do is let others know and submit the log to EFF so they can better understand how these stingrays are being used.

Or I guess if you’re feeling froggy; look around for a van/trailer with suspicious antenna(s).

I flashed a $10 orbic to take to local protests.

Taking out ~10 screws to remove the bottom panel and access the battery? That’s par for most laptops.

Kind of I guess. Didn’t have home internet so I would park my car in a home depot parking lot with a laptop torrenting off the public wifi and then walk the rest of the way to work.

Bottom.

No; I don’t think there will be.

You 3D print something with no serial and it’s untraceable.

Except for all the metal parts they used a debit card/paypal to buy.

Oh I’m sure there was. Unlike my neighbor who put up an official looking “No street parking” sign in an attempt to keep people from parking in front of their house. It lasted maybe 2 weeks.

Always question authority.

LPT: Not all signs are legally binding or even enforceable.

For what it’s worth I have yet to actually physically see a new vehicle without an oil dipstick.

It seems to be mostly a euro thing. BMW stopped using oil dipsticks nearly 2 decades ago. Land Rover also somewhere in the late 00’s.

But I agree it’s a moronic idea. Not only does it prevent you from checking oil condition like you said; if it’s after an oil change, it takes about 15min just to check the level (and another 15 if you messed it up). At $150+/hr shop rates, that adds up.

Make sure it’s a ‘cam in a theater’ version too.

OK, USA. Meant to add that. Definitely quieter overall.

With ICE being given carte blanche to do whatever they want with no oversight; would you be having a gathering? Even if you were 110% legal, would you risk getting someone who isn’t snatched up?

I tried to be festive and have been blasting Mexican music for the neighborhood; but it’s like 10pm and I’m old, gotta shut it down.

Hotdogs in ramen, hands down.

Our poverty “treat” as kids was toast with tomato sauce and a slice of government cheese, for a makeshift pizza.

If you can’t find it used or local, use eBay!

About half the time I try that, the seller just buys it from walmart/amazon and has it drop shipped to me. So I’m not sure how much good that does.

“Pokable” was my first hope too, but it doesn’t look so.

Well, my original question stands. Is it really a better business decision to choose not to sell at all vs raising prices.

I run a US business where the cost of materials has always been volatile and the cost of the end product follows that. 40% swings aren’t uncommon and just get passed onto the end user; my profit stays relatively the same. So I can’t fathom just locking the doors when things get expensive (and people are still willing to pay it).

I could understand it if they were doing it as some form of protest, but then it doesn’t make sense to only stop selling the low priced options. That’s just hurting the people furthest removed from what you are protesting.

But like that article says, automakers have ~3 months of inventory already in the US. They aren’t pausing sales, they are just continuing selling what they have here while betting the tariffs get lowered before they run out.
