I am aware of, I'm just saying that they started gaining features that you get on Waze.Pretty crazy how connected Google is to every damn thing on the internet.“Your smart home pings Google at the same time every hour in order to determine whether or not it’s connected to the internet,” Dhruv tells me. “Which is funny to me because these devices’ engineers decided to determine connectivity to the entire internet based on the uptime of a single company. It’s a good metaphor for how far the internet has strayed from its original promise to decentralize control.”
In some cases, the Google block means apps won’t work at all, like Lyft and Uber, or Spotify, whose music is hosted in Google Cloud. The more frequent effect of the Google block though is that the internet itself slows down dramatically for me.
Most of the websites I visit have frustratingly long load times because so many of them rely on resources from Google and get confused when my computer won’t let them talk to the company’s servers. On Airbnb, photos won’t load. New York Times articles won’t appear until the site has tried (and failed) to load Google Analytics, Google Pay, Google News, Google ads, and a Doubleclick tracker.
And one day, blocking Google could be even harder. With Sidewalk Labs, a product from the company to “smarten up” urban areas, Google’s trackers will extend into the real world, tracking not just how we move around the web but how we move around our cities. That would lead to tracking that Dhruv and I might not be able to stop.

I dunno man. That is a debate as old as whether Royal Purple or Amsoil is the best oil... You will get 1000 different answers. I have tried both sides and I am sticking with the evil fruit. My friend is a die hard Droid fanatic. My preference is clear.. but the battle lines are as strong as dems vs reps... Everyone is

I actually have an iPhone and it's definitely nice... but myself and everyone else I know with an iPhone uses Google Maps, Mail, Calendar, Drive, etc. as it's always seemed better than the Apple equivalents. Maybe I should give them another try as the slight privacy advantage is definitely preferable. I haven't reevaluated any of them in a few years.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 6:01 pmI dunno man.

I am unfortunately tied to the google suite for work. But my google usage is literally purely for work purposes. We don't even have Office.... all G shit. Not saying they are bad products but... I don't use them for personal things on purpose, and it really isn't detrimental to my quality of life.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 6:20 pmI actually have an iPhone and it's definitely nice... but myself and everyone else I know with an iPhone uses Google Maps, Mail, Calendar, Drive, etc. as it's always seemed better than the Apple equivalents.

Yep. Email/Gdoc/calendar are all pure google. I have never worked in a corp that was full on google.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 6:24 pmHuh, I didn't realize large corps like that rocked the Google shit. We are all Microshit and a much smaller corp.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 6:22 pm

Pricing of S2000s seem to be all over the place.
You see the suspiciously cheap one for 9k that’s probably even nastier IRL than the photos suggest, and then you have the nice but not mint ones that are 18k or more.
I love the way they look but would a low double digit priced one even be worth looking at?

The whole damn thing.
Yep, they are supercoogles wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 2:44 pm S2000 prices are definitely creeping, but having driven a couple I can understand why.
The clean, really low mileage examples are in the mid 20's or more. Solid drivers with 40-80k can still be worth high teens if well maintained. I'd love to have one in the garage, personally.
There's a local guy with two insanely clean examples and I want them both.

cars and nothing like that will ever happen again. I tried to trade a guy my 
for one and we were really close, but 
now... can go on track and has powah. S2000 is more fun in handling/shifting departments.I like the slow car fast thing. With the crazy short gearing and frantic motor, it feels like you're going a hell of a lot faster than you are. It's easy to have fun south of 70mph, which given my desire to avoid losing my license or dying, I really appreciate. Top down, motor screaming, slamming gears, it's the only car I've ever gotten out of with my hands actually shaking a bit from fun/adrenaline. Even the ~400whp C5 didn't do that for me.
