Or if the fuses apply to too broad of a system, the wireless modem should be able to be disconnected.

Manufacturers like to implement this capability using modules which can be used across their lines of vehicles. Here's an example for a 2017 Silverado, but you'd want to research service manuals / diagrams for the vehicle you're considering buying: https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/2017-silverado-removed-lte-modem.660593/

This is the equivalent of saying that MS Outlook is a community. It's not and neither is Lemmy. Each server has its own rules, and each community on those servers can add rules beyond that.

Address a specific community or server, there's no central control over the fediverse.

The knowledge of how to make good mead has greatly matured in the last several years. With modern techniques there is no need for years of aging! The exception being if you purposely want micro oxidation characteristics.

Almost every state requires some manner of concealed carry permit

Are you intentionally untruthful or just ignorant?

Is your definition of "almost every" LESS THAN HALF?

These are facts which are easy to look up and here you are spreading misinformation.

One way would be by implementing features the Lemmy devs have no interest in such as better interoperability with other fediverse platforms. If any added feature turns out to be well received and in demand, it would pressure the others to implement similar.

That way, you don't need to connect them to the manufacturer's (probably insecure) cloud.

The problem is that these projects do connect to the manufacturer's cloud.

I agree that the company is handling this the wrong way, but it is possible for 3rd-party code to negatively impact the service for other users. The right way to address any legitimate issues would be to have reasonable rate limits and work with the developer to fix any concerns.

This is also why I believe in choosing devices with local control instead of those which require cloud services. For example, Louis' video mentions air conditioners. Get one that can use a wired thermostat that you control over Z-Wave or ZigBee.

airbags are single-use. [...] If you test it to confirm you lost the air bag

Please try to avoid presenting your hypothesis as fact. If your third sentence was phrased as a question it'd be fine. Currently it's misinformation.

Of course it can be tested without destroying it. The actual air bag component could be disconnected from the rest of the device and the connection point monitored for the appropriate voltage/current required for activation.

Just because people use display names for that doesn't mean display names are a good place to indicate pronouns, and it especially doesn't mean that having a client use usernames is alienating anyone who currently puts non-name data in a name field.

I'd much rather there be a dedicated field where it can be treated with the importance it deserves and not just lumped in with other miscellany as a kludge.

you can license programs made with GPL code under Apache

No, it's the other way around. The GPL doesn't allow you to remove the user protections.

For this headline/article, and US english in general, park passes do not refer to parking. The passes referred to would also not be used while they're on duty.
