Can't install extensions on a work machine but you can add a network wide blocker?

Because the people in your private trackers have port forwarding enabled so a connection is still made but someone else who hasn't setup port forwarding won't be able to connect to you.

Prowlarr allows you to manage all the indexers/trackers in one location. This is helpful if you want to add or remove one or limit things from being automatically downloaded from site A but not B, C, and D like when you join a new private tracker and need to build ratio first.

My wife's Edge had a faulty backup camera too, but Ford didn't issue a recall, so I had to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new one and install it myself.

They also have defective ABS modules that corrode when in contact with brake fluid. They did issue a recall for it with the Fusion and MKX but not the Edge. Hers lost complete braking pressure while driving because the ABS valves stick open and bypass the line going to the brake calipers. Luckily, she didn't crash, but once again, I had to shell out $800 to get a new one and spent two days replacing it myself.

Counterpoint is that this recall can be done OTA instead of requiring you to make an appointment and visit a dealership which is a million times more convenient. Your car has had recalls too.

*parking brake not emergency brake. Most of these ratchet down and wouldn't be very useful in an emergency since they'd just cause your rear wheels to lock up and lose traction.

There's still side mirrors, no? If you've ever seen a semi, those are 60 feet long, weigh 80,000lbs and back up without a rear view mirror or backup camera. Acting like this is an issue that's going to kill people is a bit absurd.

It very clearly says it'll be using your work hours and location information. MS is turning your hardware into a GPS tracker for your company.

We could just keep giving him new couches to keep him distracted and away from anything sort of governance.

5A is the max rating for USB-C. What you're looking at is probably a 5A cable with a "10A" molded into the connector in true sketchy knockoff fashion.

To answer OP, USB-C connectors are often used outside of phones/tablets like with hobby electronics like boards to control LED strips that could benefit from more current. Unless this cable is super thick, there's little chance it can actually handle 10A and even if it can, the connectors aren't rated for that much current.

So Amazon gets to be the sole distributor of printer paper, the manufacturer is some old growth harvestor in the Amazon using prison/slave labor for harvesting/processing, and even then you're paying more for a worse product than when a well regulated and unionized workforce was producing the commodity a decade earlier.

That doesn't really make sense in this context as this paper is made by Canon not Amazon. You could make the argument that Canon is using rainforest paper, but then the rest of this kind of falls apart.
