What's a good trade to learn?

i like being an electrician (low volt, basically stuff that carries some sort of data), unionized work gives a nice sense of comraderie and a great pool of knowledge on structure of jobs and contractors. a lot of the work is indoors too and the pay and benefits are great

Discussion: Is Android Doing Enough to Protect Your Privacy?

(on pixels at least) if you go into your google settings from the settings app, manage your google account, data and privacy, web and app activity, google is tracking literally EVERYTHING you do on your phone if you have this on. this was the most egregious invasions of privacy I've ever seen, baked into android and hidden away for users to disable, and it's even harder to disable if you dont have a pixel. google does not give a fuck about "privacy" on android, they could start by just tearing all that stuff out but thats how the money is made so we're left with alternatives like grapheneos.

Rad Power RadWagon 4 Review: I Ended My Friendship With My Car

Reply in thread

i sold my car so that i could buy an ebike back in february, i now have 400 something miles on it and haven't had to spend a dime on any maintenance (although i probably should have...) but when it comes to PEV's they're definitely one of those things where if you spend more money to get a better quality product you'll have a much better experience. also since bikes are more standardized its easier to find replacement parts and if you're willing to put the time into learning how to mess with it you wouldn't even need to rely on a repair shop.
