I’m not aware of any car manufacturers selling their own diagnostic ASICs, so it’s not an extra margin to squeeze afaik…

What? The errors are intentionally vague so the drivers are forced to go to a dealer, giving them a chance to lie and pretend that’s something very serious and very expensive, while all they’re going to do is a reseat of a cable and a error reset

Btw Car scanner supports showing obd data on Android auto. It’s a game changer for hypermilers

I wish they would just use a standard otp algorithm and I could easily use any auth app instead of a dedicated one

So, they allow divorce, but that comes bundled with a near death sentence for both?

Wasn’t easier to just forbid divorces? I’m guessing the elite needs divorces for when they find a hotter girl.

They seem to imply that if instead of eating a snack you have a cigarette, then you’ll lose weight

Now that they found a business selling mercenaries they need to increase the birth rate

The problem is needing to prove it. The more far is the relative, the hardest is to get the documents

If he was born in the 1800s and all the documentation (passports from the 1900s, other stuff) is now gone, then now you need to hire some archivist that goes to find and check the handwritten records located in some remote church (the Italian government didn’t even exist at the time, birth records were held by churches) since last two centuries ago.

Of course that means that rich people can buy citizenship by finding some dishonest archivist that certifies a forged handwritten birth record and creates fake proofs of existence

It exclusively hurts their own citizens that are living in Ireland or other people that needs a visa to go to spend money in Israel

All the loyalists being fucked in the end by that coward

The ultimate betrayal

I wonder if Russia took him as a pawn to be traded for something valuable

The people that voted for milei definitely doesn’t care about that, it’s a minuscule issue compared to the rest

Italy is weird about giving citizenship.

Normal foreigner? LOL in order to get citizenship you need to pass a language test, being a legal resident for decades (=paid at least 100k in taxes), with the “green card” that expires every 1-2 years but takes 6-12 months to get renewed, with requirements that change every year and the queues at the immigration office are massive (go in line at 5 am, get to the booth at 4 pm)

8 generations ago your grandpa had Italian origins? LOL just fill the form and get the citizenship, no language test required.

Basically almost all south America is eligible for an Italian passport because you just need to prove to have someone of Italian descent in your family tree, no matter how many years or generations ago. No language test, no need to find a specialized job, thanks to that 250 years old ancestor you will get:

1. Unlimited Schengen travel
2. Free healthcare
3. Right to vote in a country that you never visited in your life

Isn’t that great?

context: now that he’s dead and no longer controls many media outlets in UK, it came out that Mohamed Al-Fayed raped over 100 female employees

that conspiracy was pushed by him and his media outlets

It won’t work. Each of those companies isn’t going to actually cut production, just sell the excess on the grey market. Private company cares about profits, the real plan is to have someone else to cut production and raise prices

i don’t think that there’s no check at all. There’s either a server side check or a digital signature to verify, or both. You can trick the train ticket check (here they don’t even scan the qr code, they see the screen on the phone and continue) or the lazy airbnb landlord, but that can be done also today

it’s more like searching messages for some keywords, then use the result to justify a full car search

and they accept that as a valid id? I mean in a store ok, but a public official? It’s incredibly easy to make a fake screenshot

the digital version of id cards are glorified qr codes: they scan it and their device downloads from the government servers the official version. Or, for offline usage: the qr code contains all the data, signed with their key, they check if the signature is valid

it completely negates the usefulness of a site like that

why on their website they still link their (now abandoned) xitter account instead of the active bluesky account?

edit: their xitter account is dead, right? The latest post that it shows without log in is from 2022

it’s a number that i pulled out of my ass but yes, it’s about annualized failure rate. If the average battery breaks after 9 years, then it means there would be a lot of free replacements under the 8 year warranty. Like for hard drives they give 3 years warranty but it’s normal to assume that it lasts 10-15 years and not break immediately after 3 years (exception: [western digital inserted a timebomb[(https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/13uyk41/wd_red_pluspro_issue_drive_being_markd_as_warning/) to mark their drives as faulty via SMART as soon as the warranty is expired)

for the mitsubishi imiev most batteries are still working (different chemistry from modern ones) even if the last ones have been made in 2013

I’m not surprised at all.

Almost all automakers are offering a 8 years warranty on the battery. That means who made the battery (=the one that would ultimately pay the bill if it lasts less than 8 years) is expecting an average of 15 years or more

Can you say the same for a normal engine? After 8 years it will start to give lots of problems. Oil leaking, compression problems, dirty injectors, and so on

Aren’t they “silently” migrating to a different but identical app called lemonade or something like that?
