They stopped being good cars in 2004. Twenty years they’ve been shit, and people are still swallowing the gravy.

I used picknbuy24 to get a Nissan Tiida for $1200 USD with like 25k miles. Parts are normally the same as they are on already imported models.

Is it just the frayed wires that’s causing the issue? Did they short together to destroy the charger?

That’s true, but they use nonstandard voltages on their chargers, and it can be tough to find an aftermarket that matches both the voltage and current of stock. Then you run into the “Dell has detected a non-Dell charger” scenario.

Are ya winning, son?

If they don’t match exactly, the laptop will lock you into power saving mode or battery operation only. Real John Deere vibes.

Dell is really crappy about third party chargers. When you get one of their laptops, you are stuck in their ecosystem. They used to do this with memory as well… then they didn’t… then they did again. Don’t know which phase they’re on right now, but I’d dig on eBay or Craigslist for an exact replacement.

I used to work next to small commercial bakery, and they would give us stuff from time to time if it was near the sell-by date and they hadn’t scheduled a shipment.

One day they gave us some of those tiny vending packs of muffins, the ones with two little colorful things in plastic. They were awful. So bad we bet that even the ants wouldn’t touch them if we left it out.

It’s been three years now and that muffin is still there, identical to the day we set it down (not counting the dust).

Rape is so funny!

I like to tell myself that these are the death throes of a dying ideology.

Even if it’s just a gesture, those people deserve more than they got.

I’m a subscriber. It’s like a customizable RSS feed with a source metric and a built in browser, which makes it nice to just have an exit out of a site completely if their ads are annoying and just go to the next independent source. Their ‘Blind Spot’ tab helps me find things I don’t normally dig for, and the curated feed I have set up for local.

It’s a nice service, but the subscription is really only paying for the convenience of being in their ecosystem, and a few good stories that slip past drudge/apnews/aljazeera.

That vendor story was so greasy it reminded me to take a shower.

I live less than an hour from Elon and ended up canceling my starlink preorder after eighteen months because I figured it was never going to come.
