  • Maybe you don’t realize but one of the major issues with modern cars is firmware compatibility. Porsche is super egregious about it, others do it. But basically let’s say you take a gearbox out of a specific car because it’s wrecked. You need a laptop from a dealer to pair the replacement. They not only will not sell you the software or connector, they have legal protections that say they don’t have to.





















  • I’ve posted this on lemmy once before, but assuming you’ve maxed your 401k or other retirement, my go to strategy has been to buy a few shares of VTI every paycheck. If there was anything left over, or I couldn’t afford VTI, I’d buy SPYG. I’ve been doing this for a very long time and it has paid off well for me. I’m not rich enough to stop working, but if I lost my job for a while, I’d be fine.

    Then on a personal level, join a local sport. In my area there are a bunch, indoor soccer, flag football, volleyball, rock climbing, etc… This gets you cardio without having to force yourself to go to the gym.
