You don't even need to do that, just get the video to start playing and then press F12 to open the dev tools as the video will keep streaming and you'll still be able to see the network requests despite the messages.

Just looked this up for myself and it's indeed partially correct (mostly webp, jpg, png, etc though).

You left out an important part which is that they're proxying these requests through their own servers to avoid the source being found.

This way they could be placing the files on servers that actually require some sort of authentication such as a login page and once that's done the sky is their limit as you could even be hosting files on Discord and it would be very difficult to find the source.

User -> Pirate proxy server -> Github (or some other site)

Most ads load asynchronously now so it won't really slow the site down. As for your revenue, it depends a lot on your traffic and where it's from.

Could it simply be that you have auto-join enabled and that you're connecting to another network in that area?

It actually does render it although the car manufacturer chooses the template.

See page 18: https://developer.apple.com/carplay/documentation/CarPlay-Ap...

It does however both surprise and annoy me that a cable is required for running this in 2024 which is the reason to why I personally never use it.

I wasn't aware of the weather forecasting features so I will have to withdraw my previous argument.

Sure, but at the same time you were very limited on the amount of features that you had compared to modern tech.

You could compare it to my pet rock that's impossible to hack, but at the same time it doesn't provide me with anything other than emotional support.

>Why disparage a useful feature by saying people should just settle for an inconvenient solution and search pages of HN titles?

The reason being that I'm against oversimplification and I believe it dumbs the community down. The beauty of HN for me is how primitive and free from clutter it is so that I can focus on the content.

>This is a news site. Why would you expect the people arriving to already know the news they came to learn?

I'm not, you can simply find the answer by going through the first few pages, I just don't believe an effort needs to be made to make it easier than that.

Easiest thing is to just do it with JS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39065858).

Sure it's not correct according to W3, but then again, we have about >200 errors on the page already so it will just be another drop in the bucket (https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombina...).

I don't think that would be an issue as people would get used to it, but it shouldn't be needed (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39065835).

Technically it's very easy to add the black bar as it's already added manually and all that would be needed is to add a "data-id=" which would contain the news ID and a regular "id" to the black bar's "<td>" and once clicked it would send you to "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=[DATA-ID]" (perhaps also add "cursor: pointer" to the CSS as well to change the cursor when its hovered).

Again, this is trivial and can be done with minimal work, but it should not be needed at all.

I don't think this is needed as it's very obvious who it's dedicated to. If you don't know about the event, then all you need to do is to literally just go through the first two pages (probably just as you would when you're visiting the site which is why you cam in the first place) and you will see it mentioned.

I personally don't think there's a need for this as this is not Reddit and the average user should be able to figure this out on their own.

RIP Dave Mills!

I don't think they implement that into the cars as developers have to consider that a car may be unused for a longer time and perhaps even be completely discharged.

I think this would be the best approach for you as you would get all the advantages of having a new car while still remaining "off-the-grid" as long as you don't bring your phone with you.

Thanks for making the world a better place

Have you considered purchasing a newer car that you can modify?

I would assume that it would be trivial to just remove the antenna for the mobile data and once that's gone then 1, 2 and 3.

As for the touchscreens you always have buttons on the steering wheel so you will have to be content with that.

That makes absolutely no sense. The advertisers can't advertise to Albanian so they can't pay for neither impressions nor clicks.

If you mean that the goal of this is to attract advertisers by seeing a larger view count, then that doesn't make any sense either as I don't think there's any doubt among advertisers that YouTube is the leading video platform online.
