I've seen a dozen DVDs cracked in the spindle-hole across multiple box sets from this travesty of a design. Bought replacements and exchanged them. Seems they went back to a more sane storage format and these disc-eaters were just unloaded over the holidays or something.
And GM was never one to understand electricity. They make the worst wiring harnesses, do stupid shit like mounting computer modules next to the HVAC core where large heat/cold changes happen leading to corrosion. They don't use the right metals in even bulbs/sockets, so it looks like you have a burned out tail light and, lo and behold, it's just galvanic corrosion.
It is amazing they managed to get an EV to leave the lab, let alone assembly line.
Most recent old ep I saw that I remember, there was a chloroform store with bottles of chloroform, up close, they each had a scribbled "chloroform" label on them, but they edited and lazily scribbled out the word on the bottles with a slightly different color at that, except for one angle when Homer's holding a bottle and they didn't scribble out the edge. Not the best example, just can't recall others. Scenes are completely cut, edited, removed.
Other shows have similar, there was an American Dad ep from the early seasons on replay now, news headline in the intro credits said a pro-union joke and they just whiteboxed over the headline.
Not that it's a new concept for them, apparently the original The Santa Clause movie had a 1-800-SPANK-ME joke I recall hearing as a young, that they edited out on the second VHS run of the movie and all subsequent runs.
Bigger would be leveraging Android System SafetyCore or iOS mediaanalysisd to stalk-spy on the contents of everyone's phones on-demand for the State. The software is already there, and on both platforms have deep entitlements..
Check too, to see if any of the tickets you use can just be presented as a QR code or e-mail. Requiring apps for simple things like that is so stupid, in general.
Gamification of reviews is one of the biggest reasons for CI/CD existing. Releasing pointless version bumps with no code changes on most apps. The whole update psychology needs to change, in general.
The only downside is Pixel 10 support is coming via alternative methods from standard, as Google stopped shipping the binary blobs to run the hardware. Pixel 9 series may be the last to have truly native Graphene support. Graphene is looking into long-term solutions though, although last I heard they were looking at Qualcomm-based chipsets which is bad news on some level, as they're a US military contractor.
Yeah, you can directly download their APK and it has its own alternative push service that doesn't require Play Services. This version also has its own internal update mechanism to keep the app current, or you can use Obtainium. Best to get it closest to the source, especially these days.
Remember, Stephen Miller directly and Peter Thiel less directly are likely driving this. Mango is just their senile puppet/mouthpiece/fall guy. Not that it makes it any less serious.
Average vehicle width in the US increased from 73.4 inches in 2003 to 77.1 inches in 2023.
Ford Explorer: The 2005 model had front/rear track widths of 60.9/61.3 inches while the 2025 model has 66.9 inches for both front and rear track width. An increase of about 6 inches front and 5.6 inches rear.
Chevrolet Tahoe: Overall vehicle width increased from 78.9 inches in 2005 to 81.0 inches in 2025 which suggests track width along with it, although not spending more time searching specs.
