Tire pressure monitoring sensors don’t transmit continually. It probably varies from one manufacturer to another, but it isn’t enough that a fixed camera could reliably catch them transmitting. They have a battery, and the accuracy has to be balanced with life span. The older systems you mentioned mostly used things like ABS sensors to sense tire inflation issues. No wireless signals with them.

I not familiar with high end vehicles, maybe jaguars etc are different but an average person will have or did have what I mentioned for the most part.

Tech changes, maybe next year we get wifi TPMS 🫤

Also common with folks who have experienced emotional/physical trauma.

Not who you replied to, but thanks for explaining! I saw the /j but still didn’t get it. I wasn’t a good chemistry student…

I don’t remember the movie well, but remember it being dark as well.

Isn’t this a trope? I could well be off haha, but if so I wonder if this is where it started.

I thought this was a pretty new thing, and I have been using Linux longer than it has been around. Clearly I have not hopped distros enough.

I have no excuses! Thank you for pointing this out. Not sure what my issue was earlier.

Interesting choice by Voyager. But it is nice that there are apps available for fediverse users who want them!

I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t use voyager, and find it to be off putting that voyager would share a link in such a way that is essentially an ad for itself.

I shared the direct link for the rest of us 🙂 it doesn’t seem that ! is needed anymore.

I find it frustrating that the same author wrote both of these articles, published one day apart, but made no connections between them.

Edit: I couldn’t read earlier…

I wonder why voyager does this?

Ya, part of the reason palm down is important is that if a dog does bite, it is structurally easier for us to turn around and away. But at that point it’s just nasty stuff and nobody wants that. We want happy dogs! So far I’ve only been bitten twice and and no skin was broken (small dogs).

I really feel this. My job has me interacting with the public a lot, and sometimes they have dogs that want to come to me for pets or to say hi. I don’t always know if they are friendly and just have to position myself both to be attacked and to defend myself. It almost always leads to confused dogs. I’ll pet them a little, but won’t let them on me. Too risky in the places I work.

It is pretty great when I see camper and dogs again, and I know they are friendly, and the dogs seem to recognize me, and then we can dance haha.

Thanks! Now I think that when you said “card is online” you meant the SIM card, not credit card. I use an alternative OS that, as I understand it, does a little to offset the tracking but it is, indeed, outside of my scope! I mostly have my phone on airplane mode, even away from home, but of course not always. I do know that this OS eliminates the ability for the phone to call home when on airplane mode.

whenever that card is online

Do you mean when the card is an active card viable for use? Or stored in the phone somehow? I’m curious what online means and if I am doing it… I don’t have any payments connected to a mobile phone but I do have a SIM card, probably paid for with a now expired card.

Well, I did it. I am sure I have more work to do but I do not have to worry about the other stuff. Thanks for your encouragement!
