Unfortunately yes, my Porsche Cayman's service is usually at least twice that of my wife's BMW 4 series.

Because it's a cool hack, it's new and he is showing it to people on HN.

Probably because of a mix of ketamine, magic mushrooms, ecstasy and adderall.

I cancelled my Adguard subscription when I found out the founder and team are russian. That's big enough of a difference for me.

From what I understand, they log in to a citrix-like webpage called IBM Host On Demand and then start a java applet which is essentially a 16-color 3270 emulator that's connected to z/OS mainframe.

I work with a lot of COBOL dinosaurs in the bank, I often like to watch them work on their 16-colors IBM z/OS host terminals, it's quite mesmerizing. Sometimes they show me some interesting code that was written before I was alive (I'm 36), or tell me stories about big mainframe incidents in the '80s, where they would get called in the middle of the night and flown to a different country to fix a bug because there was no remote desktop back then.

Adguard is Russian? Thanks, just cancelled my subscription.

Surely that's not why the interface is a laggy 10fps piece of shit and the touch latency is over 200ms. If my iPhone 3GS from 2009 can display the UI in 60fps without lagging like crazy then so can a $100k BMW that's straight from the factory. It doesn't need hundreds of extra modules.

I wouldn't even mind replacing the analog meters with a computer screen if it worked well. Instead it's a laggy slideshow where the tachometer is just basically an arrow randomly appearing in different places a couple times per second.

Crazy right? Here in europe they just tell me that my medication isn't covered and I have to pay the whole price for it - if I don't like it, I can switch the government and move somewhere else.
