Same here. I only support those companies because they're the best options for what they offer, and I'm not gonna let perfection get in the way of progress. Even though Mozilla is making some business choices I don't agree with, I'm gonna keep recommending Firefox until some other non-Chromium browser comes along (which unfortunately isn't gonna happen for a long time).

Same with AMD- they are so much more friendly to the open-source community than Nvidia or Intel, so I will recommend them to everyone, until the moment they start being worse. At that point, I'll start recommending whoever seems best at that point in time.

You could always put it into service as a network wide ad blocker with PiHole. Might also speed up web browsing a bit too, since PiHole also works as a DNS cache.

Start feeding it too, or get one of the neighbors who's been feeding it to help out. Your best bet is a feral cat trap, which are kinda pricey, but if you call around to a few local rescues or "trap, neuter, release" programs, they may be able to lend you one. Then you can likely just use food to lure it into the trap.

Of course, if this cat used to be someone's pet, you could even just try luring it into a garage or, hell, a big cardboard box, from which you could put some thick gloves on and transfer it into a pet carrier

That's fair, although I think that depends a lot on the type of car you drive. There's an option to tell Maps what type of car you drive (electric, hybrid, or gas), which will change the results, because cars with regenerative breaking often get better "city" milage than "highway" milage.

It also probably depends on factors like how aerodynamic your vehicle is, because it makes a huge difference above ~50mph (air resistance/drag increases exponentially with speed)

It does indicate the "fuel efficient" route pretty clearly though, and always gives multiple other options including the quickest one that isn't as efficient. If this is what's causing the issue, OP just needs to look closer at what's on their screen.

.....a wifi card that uses a certain type of M.2 connector

Works perfectly on Sync

I've been out of the game for a few years, who's TG?

They totally might have figured something out. Hell, they could have gotten a hold of some of Sony's original disc-pressing hardware to reproduce the copy protection. It really is the Wild West when it comes to these retailers

I mean, even if they did, this isn't an emergency since they're not in any danger. The station is still working fine, they have plenty of supplies, etc.

Aw shit, it says this is supposed to detect when an app's binary has been tampered with... That means it's probably gonna be used to block stuff like ReVanced. I hope they can find a way around this that doesn't require root.

I've been running PiHole for awhile, in short it's your own DNS server that's configured to block DNS requests to known advertising domains. So when you load a website and it sends a DNS request to PopularAdvertisingCompany.com to load an ad, PiHole blocks the request so the ad can't be loaded. It's useful for devices that you can't put an ad blocker on, like iPhones and smart TVs and such, but can't block stuff like YouTube ads cause they come from the same domain as the videos themselves.

It also has bonus features like DNS caching which can speed up web browsing.
