Because the Corolla Hatch already sells very little. The few units they manage to sell go to a very specific crowd looking for a sporty but affordable hatch.
At the Corolla price point, the hybrid versions are also meant for a crowd looking for good fuel economy. The sporty hatchback and fuel economy crowds do not overlap, because fuel-sipping hybrid engines have poor acceleration. And more generally the fuel economy crowd would prefer the sedan model, because it provides more interior room while using less gas than the hatch version.
I used to own a Kia Soul. It was very spacious to carry around items. It was also fairly reliable and didn’t require any repairs beyond standard maintenance. However fuel economy wasn’t as good as a sedan. The boxy shape really impacts that, it’s all about aerodynamics. It’s cheap enough that you might be willing to overlook that, though.
This is not really necessary, there is no need to change any settings. Even when the device enters sleep mode, VPN apps can remain active, just like on iOS.
Tailscale dev here: yes, you can set up a custom coordination server in the settings, just like on the iOS app. Open the tvOS Settings app, then scroll down to Tailscale.
Genuine question: Does tail scale want people using headscale?
I'm a free-tier personal user, and a little too cheap to give a for-profit corp money when I don't need to just because "I REALLY like the product". If I use headscale does that just cause a headache for the team, or is it good because it reduces traffic to prod?
I'm to cheap to pay when I don't need to, but its such a great product (esp for free) that I'd gladly change how I use the product to be less expensive or problematic.
In Europe you're not required to take off your belt because of an arbitrary rule like shoes in the US. They just tell you to take it off because most belts have metal parts so they will likely trigger the metal detector.
> The explosive apparently did not detonate due to the delay in the departure of Reid's flight. The rainy weather, along with Reid's foot perspiration, caused the fuse to be too damp to ignite.
Seems his biography was that of a petty criminal whose journey to radicalism began in prison. Pretty sad to think about. One considers an alternate reality in which he would have been rehabilitated beforehand instead. Seems like he might have had some serious problems, though.
It's arbitrary because all they do is X-ray them. X-rays can't tell you whether there are explosives in the shoe, all you can do is look for signs the shoe has been altered.
I don't think that requirement would have stopped Richard Reid. Maybe someone notices that his shoes look a little odd under the X-ray, but with sports shoes coming with weird air pockets and Heelys existing, it's not that odd.
It also slows down people moving through, making the security line a bigger target, and forces people to sit down just past security to put their shoes back on. Again, making the security line a much larger target.
We'd be better off just forcing everyone to do the hand swabs. One airport I went through had some kind of machine that purportedly could detect trace explosives coming off your clothing or skin. Those would be way better, if they work.

I've gone through that machine six times, in one trip.
Something in my backpack set it off, so they kept running swabs over and over again until the light went green.
It was an utter waste of time for everyone involved. The fools patted me down five times, looked through all my things, ran them through the x-ray machines, and can clearly see that all I have is the clothes on my back, a laptop, and two changes of clothes. But they won't let me through the security line until their magical explosive scanning oracle shows a green light.
As if anything about the risk I pose to a flight fundamentally changed between the first swab and search, and the sixth.
The best part is they were asking me what is causing it to go off. Why are you asking me? I don't know a god-damned thing about your magical black box.
The iOS APIs to obtain details about the current WiFi network environment are extremely limited. I suppose it’s because ad networks were using these to fingerprint the user or obtain their location using WiFi access points as a proxy for it.
There are thousands of TP-LINK routers whose WAN port 80/443 is exposed to the Internet, allowing access to their administration interface if you know the password (or a vulnerability is present).
And I'd bet a nice amount that most of them have the default passwords.
Some years ago I wrote a little tool to iterate all of an ISP's ip addresses and around 90% were using default passwords. Mostly homes, but some businesses.
I was planning to host a simple website on my RasberryPi using Dynamic DNS - which I think requires me to expose port 80 to the internet. Is that safe?
It's as safe as whatever software stack you'd be using on the Raspberry Pi to serve the site, same as if you'd be hosting it on a VPS in someone's cloud (though in your case if there's a vulnerability of a particular kind, someone could gain access to your local network).
Since you're not hosting the site on the router itself, presumably you're forwarding port 80 from the router to the Raspberry Pi, so unless the security of the Pi ends up being broken, the router should be safe.
(Also I'd recommend using Let's Encrypt to get an automatically-renewing TLS cert so you can serve https on port 443 as well, and even redirect port 80 to it. It's not that difficult to set up, and you'll be improving the privacy and security of those who visit your site.)
I was considering self hosting at home. If the local network should be disconnected IMHO only a DMZ will help. My router doesn't support that so the setup will be:
If it's a static site? Probably safe-ish, I suppose bots and bored teens could DDOS it. You could also choose a non-standard port, that might cut down on the noise.
It depends entirely on what technologies you are specifically exposing. If you are serving a page with a web server application like Nginx or Apache, you should read about securing those applications. If you are writing a NodeJS application, you should read something specific to that.
Please don't do that. It's a terrible idea because CloudFlare will then get to decide who gets to see your website or not (and CloudFlare hates privacy tech like Tor), and also because then CloudFlare will terminate the HTTPS (TLS) connection on their side so they essentially get to know all your passwords.
I've selfhosted on 64Kbit/s modem then xDSL for years without a problem (apart from bots trying default passwords). If you are really afraid you'll run into DDOS attacks and whatnot, consider using a small 2-5$/mo VPS as reverse-proxy instead of CloudFlare to retain control of your infrastructure.

With a more modern audio codec like Opus, which does better at low bitrates, a minute at phone-line quality would take around 80-120 kB, one third of MP3. Which makes it even cheaper.
In addition to dealing with the absurd amount of immigration paperwork mentioned in the other comments: the fact that the US doesn’t recognize foreign records for most matters, even when it would be very easy to do so.
Foreign driver’s license? In most states there is no way to exchange it directly for a local one like most other countries do, you’ll have to sit the driving test again. This even applies to licenses issued by jurisdictions like Canada or Europe, which have similar driving customs and laws.
Foreign driving record? Unless you were driving in neighbouring Canada, with most insurers it won’t count for insurance purposes. You’ll be starting with crazy high premiums like a new driver, as if you never drove a car before.
Foreign credit score? Nope, you’ll have to start from scratch and pay high interest rates on car payments, and deal with a very low credit limit on your credit card. It won’t no matter what limit your previous cards abroad trusted you with. Also you won’t be able to get a phone on a contract, you’ll have to get a prepaid or BYOD because of your low credit score.
This works the same in other directions. Try getting a visa, work permit, job, bank account, credit as a foreigner immigrating to anywhere in Europe, or Japan, or almost anywhere else.
I don’t think it’s helpful to paint with as broad a brush as you are.
The processes of immigrating to the Netherlands for example are vastly less Kafkaesque and not subject to luck or some bureaucrat’s mood at the time. Everywhere else is not necessarily as difficult as America.
A lot of countries don't have the high dependence on credit scores as in the US AFAIK, indeed, in quite a few (most, if not all?) European countries "credit cards" are rather uncommon.
Small sample of my own immigrant wife and some immigrant friends. Establishing credit in the US is ridiculously easy. Immigrants with jobs are targeted with credit offers (presumably based on data showing they pay their debts at least as reliably as native-born citizens.) Less than a year after arriving in America my wife had credit cards and a good FICO score, good enough to buy a car at a competitive rate. I didn’t have to co-sign.
Personally I think getting credit for the sake of it is rather silly though. It offends all sorts of sensibilities I have about credit and financial responsibility.
That’s a personal decision. I was addressing the claim that getting credit, or not having credit history, is a challenge for immigrants to the US. It’s a challenge for young American citizens too. I’m sure it’s a challenge but I think it’s a small one. The biggest challenge for immigrants I’ve seen first-hand is getting fluent in English.
