6 years is one hell of a run for OEM blades! Have you ever looked into silicon ones? While they cost more, they are completely silent and as they wear down they actually fill the minor imperfections in your windshield making it act like it's been covered in Rain-X or similar.

I bought a Jeep a couple years ago and the factory ones came on and scared the shit out of me because I forgot normal blades make that sound.

It definitely helps. In GrapheneOS, Google Play Services can be installed, but it is sandboxed and doesn't even have network access unless you allow it.

It solves so much more though, like through scoping you can give an app access to your contacts, or just specific contacts; to the app, those specific contacts are the only contacts that exist on your phone.

It's one of those things I'm glad people do, not to be offensive, but to be specific.

Prefixing it like that is pretty awesome as someone with a tofu alergy might be fine with chili, but might need a warning when the recipe has been changed.

AT&T came through and wired my neighborhood for fiber, all except for the 14 houses on my side of our street. I have AT&T copper in my yard but they don't offer sign up's anymore. They "completed" my neighborhood in 2022 and moved to the next.

Oh and congratulations! It'll be an adventure, have fun and cherish those moments (even when you're pulling your hair out lol).

I would highly recommend "Let the baby drive", a super oversimplified summary could be "Nap when new baby naps", but there is so much more in there.

The devs just need to make the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 of the screen blank bars. Boom, sight never contains more than 1/3 questionable material. As an added benefit, sales of old 4:3 monitors would go through the roof.

Next time you go to replace them, look into silicon ones. They're amazing, I'll never go back.

My wife bought me a work sharp something... it uses belts instead of wheels and is amazing for my pocket knives (most knives really)!

I use a more traditional wheel type one for the kitchen knives because I heard the more beveled edge from the belt one wouldn't hone as well (and I'm too lazy to constantly sharpen).

I'm pretty sure the key is stored on the device, which is backed up to Google. I cannot say for sure if they do or don't backup your keyring, but I feel better not using it.

End to end doesn't say anything about where keys are stored, it can be end to end encrypted and someone else have access to the keys.
