Yeah, $70 for one sensor installed is pretty cheap. Is your $300 number for all 4? Because that's more expensive than Discount Tire's price...

I have a better source:

$70 at Discount Tire.

Like 99% of automatic transmission vehicles have a radiator built this way. Even my 1995 Camry had a radiator like that (manual transmission though).

That transmission was used in the US as well, before they switched to a ZF trans.

The real reason is that owners would not reseat the dipstick properly, which would cause a vacuum leak and a lean fuel mixture that would trigger the CEL.

That is absolutely piss-poor design. But definitely a BMW thing to do.

But I enjoy terrible sequels...

In all seriousness, half the reason I want to watch Robocop is because of the "futuristic" Ford Taurus. I had a 1992 Taurus (second gen) for a couple years and simultaneously loved and hated that car.

Same. I finally dumped Windows 10 on my gaming PC for LMDE6 a few months ago, and I already see massive benefits. It runs games faster, I can do anything I want with it, including multiple simultaneous user sessions, and can even admin the thing entirely from my phone via Cockpit or plain ol' SSH (VPN/local network only, of course).

People will always gravitate towards tools that make their lives easier. That's never gong to change, and is a driving force behind why we have the technology we do now.

That said, this AI shit is clearly not ready for primetime. I do not trust it to have access to my files. Machine learning and LLMs have their place - my phone's keyboard (FUTO Keyboard) runs a local LLM model that learns my swiping/typing habits and trains the predictive text feature on that data - but that's a very specialized application, and I have control over it.

Hell yeah. I run LMDE6 on my gaming PC. Runs fucking fantastic, even plays games faster via Proton than it did on Windows natively.

I haven't seen Robocop yet... I need to. Saw some clips last night. Looks like fun.

MS Paint doesn’t give you advanced features like background blurring/removal and object removal.

Nor should it. It's fucking MS PAINT, not Photoshop. If you want advanced features, use something more advanced. Adding shit to MS Paint when it's gone virtually unchanged for decades without complaint is unnecessary feature creep.

They’re not “calling back to the mothership”. Why do you think they are?

LMAO

By being against them adding these features.

You understand the terms "opt-in" and "opt-out", yes?
