I always use a virtual credit card number (like Citi provides) everywhere which has a daily hard limit.

Musk has been lying about Tesla's full self-driving for a decade. Why stop now?

The lies worked. They boosted Tesla's share price as intended.

Yes millions have bought into this scam of the decade since 2016 based on the original FSD videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG68SKoG7vE where the driver seat is only occupied for legal reasons...

Alas the scam will continue to sell well into the next decade after buying Trump.

I've bought 4, so far. Will never go back to gas.

Same, once you go EV can't stand how slow and stinky gas cars are.
jijojv commented on The networkQuality tool on macOS   cyberhost.uk/the-hidden-m... · Posted by u/cyberhost

One nice thing about macOS is that many of the system GUI tools are graphical wrappers around a command-line tool that does the real work.

Most of them live in /usr/sbin

I keep a list for my students. Here are some:

   diskutil
   mdfind
   mdutil
   plutil
   networksetup
   softwareupdate
   screencapture
   pmset
   hdiutil
   pkgutil
   caffeinate
   osascript
   defaults
   launchctl
For example, mdfind lets you use Spotlight search on the command line. diskutil powers "Disk Utility.app". pkgutil lets you install .pkg files and also get information about programs installed that way. screencapture lets you take screenshots from the command line (you can specify which windows, etc.)

Anyhow, there's a bunch.

There are also random useful executables not in $PATH. This program powers your WiFi menu:

   /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport
Try "airport -I"

A silly one-liners to print out your overall WiFi strength:

   airport -I | grep -E 'agrCtlRSSI|agrCtlNoise' | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e 'N;s/\n/ - /' | bc
Put that in a script called "wifi-strength" and walk around your house with a laptop while running the following:

   watch -n1 "wifi-strength | say"

Very Nice! One caveat is that say won't speak the "minus" if your SNR became negative.

echo '-30' | say

echo '\-30' | say

I have a gut problem. I don't really know what it is. It's been like 4 or 5 years since it started.

Doctors don't seem to know what's going on but basically my stomach acid destroys my throat and I can even feel the acidity in my mouth but I don't have heartburn or any other common symptoms. I've been on omeprazole and other PPI and several more drugs without any improvement.

In all these years it stopped for around 3 weeks when the doctor prescribed me 2 antibiotics and domperidone. Then it went back to "normal". They won't prescribe me antibiotics again because after being tested everything came as negative. Now they basically tell me to take more omeprazole, which doesn't change anything.

All this made me realize that it could be a gut bacteria problem. Maybe the antibiotics killed it which made me improve and then it came back again. Maybe it was due a diet change. My only hope is that more research like this is done in the field and maybe one day I'll feel like a normal person again.
