Returned a multi-week Hertz rental a couple of days ago and had to fight with the staff to get to get a written acknowledgement of no damage.

Customers are supposed to just trust Hertz employees will self-report damaging the car after it has been turned in? Absolutely laughable considering how many times rental companies try to screw over their customers.

This is great info and I won’t be renting from Hertz again.

Great; how do I get my Mother to do that over the phone?

That’s not going to scale as I share out my server.

Are you incapable of recognizing that in this context my comment was a joke? What the fuck is wrong with you?

That’s not going to scale…

How many mothers do you have?

It’s not a cake walk, but I’ve something similar for a friend who can barely turn on his PC.

The OpenWRT router was fully configured before shipping it to him and the existing router’s needed Wireguard port was opened by me using the Comcast Android app. All he had to do was connect his TV to a new wifi network. That wasn’t easy, but he ultimately succeeded.

3 - An OpenWRT router with Wireguard connecting to another router 1000 miles away will do the trick.

I’d give you 10 to 1 odds that all of these criminals are strident Maga Trump supporters.

Have a couple OP 9pros and they’ll be the last OP devices I buy.

There are severe bugs that OP never fixes and make using the phone for something like navigation unreliable. Battery life can be great one day and terrible the next when not even using the phone. Also OP sells carrier specific hardware. My TMO phones can’t be used at AT&T or Verizon, severely limiting our options. My understanding is unlocked Pixel phones can be used on any carrier.

I really wanted to load Graphene, but even without it I’ll consider a Pixel device.

It is surprising how difficult most camera companies have made it to avoid their subscription services.

Multiple companies that used to offer local rstp streaming have summarily removed support in firmware upgrades without notifying their customers. Even companies that support it (like Foscam) demand developer agreements be signed to get basic camera command information. Tp-link supports rstp but requires an phone app and Internet connection to configure their cameras.

Like you, I will never connect my cameras to the Internet, but we are slowly approaching a time when that by itself will be a cause for police investigation.

A Tennessee school district fails to follow their own review procedures and expels a student who likely did not need to be expelled.

As they say in the South: “Thank god for Mississippi.”

And he said it was to warn others (not to make a threat.)

Musk did the equivalent of full on grabbing and slowly squeezing that boob and then insisting it was a gesture of respect.

But many of the signs target Elon Musk specifically, and his most famous brand, Tesla, calling the vehicles “Swasticars” and comparing Musk to a Nazi.

Musk; “How many legacy media publications, talk shows, whatever, try to claim that I was a Nazi because of some random hand gesture gesture at a rally where all I said was that my heart goes out to you,”

I live in an area with lots of Canadian snowbirds and they are pissed.

Most left weeks earlier than planned this spring because they “feel unwelcome in the U.S.”. Some are selling their properties and others have vowed to not come back as long as the felon’s in office. The reports of ICE detaining international tourists for weeks has made them unwilling to cross the border. Those same people are avoiding U.S. products like the plague while in Canada.

The felon’s done damage that won’t be easily undone.

Impaired driving is also solvable. On-demand breathalyzers, smartphone saliva tests, and eye-tracking sensors are all tools that already exist to stop drunk and high drivers before they even start the ignition. Uber is already testing real-time driver sobriety verification. Why aren’t carmakers racing to put similar tech in every new vehicle?

There’s no fucking way people will buy those cars is why. I rarely drink and will never buy a car that required a saliva test or blowing into a tube before starting. Like it or not, any car that includes that equipment would be DOA and a financial disaster for the car manufacturer.

Bad design goes both ways. I have a couple of small kitchen appliances (coffee machine & toaster oven) and their beeps are impossible to hear if there’s the slightest bit of background noise. It makes using them a PITA. And then there’s my microwave which could wake the dead.

The Tate brothers will be extradited to the UK after they are tried in Romania, the British government said, according to The Telegraph, which quotes Security Minister Dan Jarvis.

The announcement comes after Andrew Tate gave a post, the day after the presidential elections, in which he said he was leaving Romania and hinted that he was doing it because of the fact that Nicusor Dan came out as president. In fact, he even supported George Simion and even gave several posts in this regard.

In March 2024, the Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled that the two influencers could be sent to the UK, but decided to postpone it until the conclusion of the criminal trial in Romania. That’s after the Bedfordshire police obtained an arrest warrant, in which they are charged with rape, human trafficking and setting up an organised crime group.

Andrew Tate, 38, and his brother Tristan, 36, deny all the charges.

The minister’s confirmation marks a first when a British official says the Tate brothers arrive in the UK to compare to justice.

In a letter sent to McCue Jury & Partners, Minister Dan Jarvis "expressed his deepest sympathy for all the victims of these abominable crimes. We are absolutely firm in our commitment to combat sexual violence in all its forms and support survivors. These persons remain criminally investigated in Romania for human trafficking, rape, money laundering and the establishment of an organized criminal group. It is notorious that the Tate brothers were arrested at the request of the United Kingdom, which was accepted and processed by the Romanian courts, who agreed that the brothers would be handed over to the United Kingdom after the conclusion of the internal proceedings in Romania.

Matt Jury, a lawyer representing the four victims who sues Andrew Tate, said: "Finally, we have confirmation from the UK government that the Tate brothers will be handed over by Romania to be tried in the UK when their prosecution is over. But this can only happen if they are in Romania at the time. It is now essential that the Labour Party ensures that this will happen and that the victims of Andrew Tate will be done to justice. Brothers can’t be allowed to slip through their fingers. While we welcome this important step, the Security Minister has not yet been able to explain why the United Kingdom did not call for the extradition of the United States or the United Arab Emirates when it had the chance.

Last month, there was talk of the possibility that the Tate brothers could be arrested and extradited from Florida days before the information that revealed she had assaulted her ex-girlfriend in Los Angeles. However, no request was made from the Ministry of the Interior.

The office of James Uthmeier, Florida’s attorney general, said on March 7 that he was prepared to “go through” any official extradition request issued by British authorities.

Andrew Tate is accused of suffocating his ex-girlfriend Brianna Stern so loudly that he almost lost consciousness. It all happened at Beverly Hills Hotel on March 11. He denies the allegations.

She claims the assault took place at the time when Andrew and his brother Tristan left Romania for Florida on a private jet in February after a court order was lifted to them that restricted their travels.

Wow. You claim I’m lying in a post correctly identifying the bomber made less than 12 hours after the bombing and also confidently state, “The information regarding the bomber came a 12-24 hours later.”

Two months on Lemmy, you know everything, have zero content submission, and think you are so amazing that you can lecture others. You are nothing but a troll.

Are you completely illiterate, or do you just make things up for fun?

THERE IS NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOMBER AT THE LINK YOU PROVIDED. NONE.

Before accusing others of lying get your own fucking facts straight.
