If you want to try replacing the battery yourself it looks like they sell new batteries for that scooter.

Here’s an iFixit guide on replacing it.

Also GoTrax claims it has a 2-year warranty. It might be worth it to see if they’ll send you a new battery for it.
Old Sega consoles like that probably need their electrolytic capacitors replaced. I’d say like 80% of non-working Sega consoles I’ve had just needed the caps replaced.
While I doubt there are like scientific papers on it or anything, the reverse correlation seems to be pretty strong. I know a lot of trans women who work in tech (IT support, programming, electronics, etc). There are also plenty of memes in trans communities about how we all work in tech, especially programming. If you search for “programming socks” or “Unix socks” you’ll get stripped thigh highs for instance.
Now whether trans people are more likely to work in tech, or if people in tech jobs are more accepting of trans people or something else, it certainly seems like trans people have a slight affinity for tech jobs.
Exercise would still increase your respiration rate. So you would be incentivized to get more steps either way.
They are kind of two separate things.
Pi-Hole will work on literally every device on your network. It can block ads on smart TVs, cell phones, etc. It can prevent certain forms of tracking on video doorbells, voice assistants, cameras, etc. You can also set up custom DNS to restore online service to old game consoles or to host web services at home.
You also get all the metrics. For example, I can see that my computer reaches out to my printer several times a minute and that the Oculus app for my Quest 2 was reaching out to its servers even when the app was “closed”.
You could also use it as a sort of parental control. It can provide one set of block lists to the parent’s devices and a different one to the kids devices. Or you could do the same with IoT devices so they are only allowed to reach out to the services they need to be able to run.
uBlock is still important though. It’s possible to get around a DNS filter like Pi-Hole by serving ads from the same domain that the core service is served through. uBlock Origin can do things like block YouTube ads for instance.
Huh, you’d think almost any tow truck would have a jack and a set of wheel dollies. They use them all the time to move vehicles where the tow points aren’t easily accessible.
Not every package that comes with xfce has a name that starts with xfce4, just most of them do. You may need to identify and remove other packages too.
I think the meme is referring to the first vowel.
I’d be curious to see how the newer shows stack up. I’d bet they’d do a bit better, but it’s hard to know. For example, Discovery has Burnham and Tilly, and they even share quarters so they are likely to talk a lot, but it is still a pretty male dominated cast. Lower Decks on the other hand, I’d be surprised if it didn’t get a 100% since half of the starring characters are women (Mariner, Tendi, Freeman, T’Ana).
To be fair, critical security patches for Windows are often delivered out of band (not on patch Tuesday). And malware definitions for Defender are daily.
Not trying to defend Microsoft entirely, but not everything is delayed until their monthly update schedule.
This is basically what Ottawa is doing. The only mistake they made was that it doesn’t work when it snows… in Canada.
Yeah, maybe someone can explain to me how this isn’t a vehicle at this point. Sure, it’s smaller, but having a 1000 pound vehicle using bike paths and multi-use paths seems dangerous. This feels like someone trying to pass off a small car as a bike in order to circumvent safety standards more than being a real form of micro mobility.
