There are only two industries that call their customers ‘users’…

I dunno, I reckon ‘DRAL YAES’ goes harder

I’ve switched both my laptop and desktop over to Linux (Bazzite and Fedora respectively) in the last 6 months.

The last time I tried to daily Linux (over a decade ago) I ended up switching back eventually, but this time I really don’t think I’ll need to. All of the games I play most often work perfectly, the dev tooling is even better than it is on Windows, and the hardware compatibility side has been completely flawless.

Gone are the days of having to hunt down obscure Linux drivers for your touchpad or webcam. Everything just works out of the box.

Hot take: Nintendo peaked with the Wii.

Old? Check. Male? Check. Hung out on Epstein island? Check.

Seems like a perfect match to me.

Assuming your Fiesta produces < 100g/km CO2, looks like you’ll now be paying £20/year (as it was manufactured before 2017, different rules apply) - could be worse!

Not quite. Even existing EVs (with some exceptions for older vehicles) will be charged the new basic VED rate of £195 when they are next due to renew (which could be in up to a year’s time).

What EV purchasers were trying to avoid was the expensive vehicle supplementary tax of £425/year for cars with a list price of over £40k, which EVs purchased/registered since the start of April are no longer exempt from.

As the vast majority of new EVs on the market fall into that price bracket (including all Teslas except the base tier Model 3), suddenly the yearly tax for most new EV purchases jumps from £195 to £620/year.

Right now none of the native clients support SSO. It is a frequently requested feature but, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be implemented any time soon. As with many OSS projects it is probably a case of “you want it, you build it” - but nobody has actually stepped up.

For web access, stick it behind a reverse proxy and use something like Authentik/Authelia/SSO provider of your choice to secure it.

For full access including native clients, set up a VPN.

Oh fuck me, HOW in like 25 years did I not get that pun?!

Something to note: Tesla has two vehicle APIs, the Fleet API for commercial accounts and the Owner API for individuals. This change currently only impacts the Fleet API.

If you are an individual owner who accesses your vehicle data from the Owner API (usually via a self hosted tool like TeslaMate), this does not affect you. Yet.

Even without an official rank, on Voyager he was still considered a Department Head and (more importantly) the CMO, which gave significant authority (even exceeding the Captain on certain medical matters), regardless of whether or not he was ever given any pips. The same thing would likely apply on subsequent postings.

If he ever had to be assigned a rank for clerical/administrative purposes, it would probably be the default required rank for a Starfleet CMO candidate for the class of ship he was serving on.
