Yup, cigarette money enabled all kinds of shenanigans. Engine swaps for qualification, new engines every race, spare third cars, it goes on. 2004 was the first year that specified engines must last the entire race weekend and introduced penalties for swaps.
Porsche was talking about racing, where the primary focus is reaching the finish line faster an anyone else, and over-engineering can easily get in the way of that goal. Back in the real world, no race team would agree that their cars should disintegrate after one race.
Not all homeowners are built for even these simple tasks. I watched someone try to replace a receptacle live, all while wondering why it was arcing and tripping the breaker repeatedly.
The number of false positives using only motion is tiring. You want smart detections otherwise you're stuck reviewing endless clips of spider webs and swaying tree branches.
Yeah the standard "this call may be recorded for quality or training purposes" preamble shouldn't cover for slurping your voiceprint to further the butchering of client service that this call centre is here for.
Including random IT gear from the storage closet? It absolutely was some airport property and random accumulated crap used to pad out the bag to hide the theft.
It's 100% because the VGA cable came in the box. Nothing about cables pulling because my lazy counterparts would not even screw in the DE15 cables half the time.

For that job you needed one of the opaque round ones with a more flexible plastic. It had to friction fit over the centre of the keyway so it could deliver some torque as you were working the tumblers.
Just knowing what is bought together with menstrual products can influence how they're marketed. It can influence where certain products are placed on shelves relative to menstrual products, where and how they're marketed, which brands in your conglomerate to co-market with, and so on. This is the most innocent use of data in aggregate. The real creepy shit follows now that it's individualized and easily deanonymized.
We thought Hillary and Kamala were shoo-ins too. This rot runs deep throughout the electorate, something the media and parties know and are all too willing to exploit.
You think the data brokers aren't aware of varying spending habits? You might be surprised to learn the number of people living day-to-day, cheque-to-cheque who don't have the ability to stock up on much of anything. These are the consumers who are "ripe for the picking" in marketer's eyes. Back in the late 90's this would have been much harder too, probably working with not much more than cash register receipts.
