And of those, I bet 997 are closed as duplicates by admins who didn't understand the question asked.

That's a fun puzzle. I converted the code to C# and managed to get a 20x speedup. Not sure how the code would fare in Java, but I presume that things that are slow in C# are probably also slow in Java.

PHEV vehicles seem incorrect. The Toyota Rav4 Prime has a range given as 42 miles, which is true for electric only, but it also has between 400-500 miles of gas range.

After playing around a bit, all the make/model/year drop downs are empty and I can't get them to work again.

Small typo: "Receive Submissions" has a typo in "recieve".

I you consider that the plan from the start was to destroy Twitter entirely, then everything is going swimmingly. The major hiccup was for Musk to be forced to buy it for much more than it was worth, but other than that, Twitter is pretty much on it's way to being just a hollow husk of its former self.

My math fu is not good, but am I understanding this correctly: In Z/Z, every integers "maps" to 0, so 2+2=5 is equivalent to 0+0=0, so 2+2=5 is true in that system...?

Reolink.

I broke a camera while installing it and when I contacted them to see if repair was possible (because, as I told them, the camera being broken was entirely my fault), they just asked for a copy of the invoice and sent me a new one.

The other "Windows Forms" should probably be in there somewhere... a COM wrapper used by Visual Basic (and other languages, but mostly VB). From 1991 (VB1) to 1998 (VB6)... out of support since 2008, but still faily widely used in legacy applications.

I just freshly reimaged a Surface with a Windows 11 ISO that had no drivers for the Surface, so I had no wifi during setup... an offline account is definitely still possible.

The Windows 11 Settings UI does everything it can to hide it from you. But you can use the old "Local Users and Groups" applet to manage them. (Run the condescendingly named "lusrmgr.msc"...)
