That split system is how it works where I live. Obviously it's quite difficult to have competition for the infrastructure. So I can choose who delivers power (well, I mean it comes from the same grid. But different companies buying power from the same spot market charge you different amounts ๐Ÿคท) but the infrastructure is a monopoly. Not only do we pay a fixed fee for the infrastructure, but also a transfer fee (and taxes, and also taxes on the taxes)

So in the end I pay more for the infrastructure part than the power consumption.

Recently I have been seeing "vegan butter" in the store. How this is not margarine eludes me. But my vegan friend assures me it's completely different.

Who's excusing anything here?

This is a pihole/Adguard home type service with centralized blocklists. No more, no less.

As far as I am aware "they" cannot inject anything into any website. That would require some pretty nifty mitm attack.

I have not personally reviewed all of the code, but the people making AsusWRT-merlin that this router runs have a pretty good idea about it. I will let RMerlin speak on this issue, knowing more about this than myself.

It is definitely something to be aware of and consider for yourself. But just maybe people have some knee jerk reactions sometimes that are not helpful.

It's running Merlin, works pretty well. Then again, all it does is NAT and DHCP (and apparently the parent control thing)

To be honest, that filter is so useless I didn't even remember it was on. ๐Ÿ˜ Can't remember if it blocked anything else ... ever

Asus had some different ideas about libgen.rs ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

My parents had them and were ecstatic at how great they were. Unfortunately that's in the past tense.

They lasted longer than other nonstick, but in the end they started peeling just like other brands and they went back to cast iron and stainless.

Response is important (probably most important really) but in your post you said your earlier comment was "would be very on-brand for Tesla to have issues with the seatbelts."

My point was, that everyone has these kinds of issues. Honda recalled 450k vehicles for seatbelt issues. Volvo had another one with mistorqued bolts that might result in the middle seatbelt in the back to come off completely. (Not known if it actually happened)

Not sure how many other brands I have heard of where the steering wheel falls off though ๐Ÿ˜
