About the only thing they’ve really embraced is electric motorcycles as they’re quiet.

It’s not specifically “the” bar, but the original comment was saying they didn’t see how Tesla would even be considered, and I felt this feature is one reason why someone may still consider a Tesla.

For me, my dash cameras have come in handy when my vehicle was running, but the hardwire mode has not been able to handle what I wanted it to. I want my next vehicle (whenever that may be) to be an improvement over what I already have. I have personally had my vehicles damaged more than once whilst it was parked, and I have always parked well. Sentry mode would have been very bloody useful to have the responsible parties pay up. Instead, I was left with a damaged car, which was notably rather heartbreaking when one incident occurred within the first month of ownership.

EDIT: My motorcycle was hit and if I hadn’t had known, I wouldn’t have been aware enough to take it to the shop to be inspected in case any of the internals had been damaged. Sometimes damage can be internal and without an alert, you would be putting yourself in danger.

I’ve had a Ford (mid range SUV) and a Toyota (base model sedan) which were both damaged whilst parked, and nobody left a note. Lots of people posting in the community groups about carpark damage and no notes being left, and no luck with local cameras.

So yes, it is needed.

I am unaware of any other EV that has sentry mode on the cameras like that on the Tesla. Would absolutely love to be proven wrong.

AFAIK Kia has a Korean only release EV6 that had it, but none of the other options utilise the whole suite of cameras to record.

Yeah I ran into these solutions but unfortunately I can’t seem to find any USB-CEC adapter other than the Pulse Eight, which doesn’t seem to ship to Australia in any economical manner.

I ended up getting a Flirc USB, couldn’t get the existing TV remote to work with that (once paired with the TV it stops sending IR signals, and the TV wouldn’t let me select the PC input as needing to activate the IR mode on the remote), ordered the Flirc Skip 1s… and now that’s working well enough we’re using the Skip1s as the primary remote for the TV as well. About 150AUD down the hole for this solution, and it’s not truly turning the PC off, but close enough!

We sold our PS and now have a gaming PC hooked up to the TV.

Been a few teething issues with convenience issues like being able to turn it on from the couch, but the experience has gotten pretty smooth now.

Back in the day, the Galaxy Note 4 had this monster of a battery made for it by Anker, and yes it came with a replacement door. It was a beast.

They can ban you from using them as a business, which is often what these fines are about.

A lot of clinics have failed to attend fees which are pretty much kept not to ever collect, but prevent that patient ever booking again.

When you say sudafed, do you mean the real sudafed with pseudoephedrine, or is it sudafed PE with phenylepherine?

Make sure you get the real pseudoephedrine.

Yeah I vastly prefer AliExpress, there are items in a similar vein with the ‘pick three!’ type, but those are in the significant minority.

On the whole, they’re used to East Asian health professionals, and some even deliberately seek East Asian doctors.

They do NOT like South East Asian HCWs, but will tolerate it. There are regular requests in community groups for an ‘Australian’ doctor, and whilst there is plenty of pushback from commenters about what makes a doctor Australian, they tend to say they have issues with the accent (not overly unwarranted, I have an Australian accent but can speak fast, and this is probably the most common feedback I get).

There are a bigoted few who will actually refuse to see Aboriginal clinicians.

Quince and cheese on crackers is a common thing, so jam cheese and bread just seems normal to me too…

Preorder for mk in AUD is $114, fortunately. 😅

…still fucking steep.

Most of the common ones now do wireless streaming from the PC for PCVR. But yes, for PCVR games you will still need a PC to run it. There are some VR headsets that are capable of running some games on it without a connected PC, like my Quest 2 can run Superhot or BeatSaber etc.

The fit site release has a mod included for flat screen mode.

I bought a StinkyBoard thinking I would be so productive… I was not. Perhaps I’m not being imaginative enough with its use. 😅

Oh that’s cheeky. China has control of the current Panchen Lama, don’t they?

There’s a reason guns were called the great equalizer.

Body glide blister balm, and laundry wash sheets (so much tidier than washing powder!).

Most of my other stuff seems standard to me…

Those gl-inet routers are really handy. Great if you have a bunch of wireless devices too, login to the hotel wifi with one device, spoof on the router that device’s MAC, then you have “one” device hooked up to the hotel wifi… And everything else connects to a pre setup wifi network and you don’t have to login on all of them.
