1995 Nissan Maxima - Gave me trouble about every 2 to 5 months. I had it for about 5 years got it when it had 50k miles on it. The dealer gave me more than I thought they would, still amazed lol.

2007 Ford Mustang - Just bought it on Tuesday, its amazing, I love it to pieces.

My first car was a 1996 Ford Fairmont. Big hulking tank of a thing that cost me more in petrol than the repayments on the loan.

Had auto everything in it, was a decent car to drive, just cost me too much in fuel.

Big Aussie Ford! 4 Litre inline 6 cylinder engine.

On a more serious note, first car i drove was a Jaguar XJ6 Mark II, with a leather roof, 4.2l straight 6 and first time i drove it was reversing up a hill and round a corner, all at the same time. was some experience for my first time ever in a car.... it didn't go well :p

First car i was given was an old ford fiesta barely worth a mention, though all credit to it, it got me from A to B and only ever had problems when breaking hard going round a long right hand bend, seemed to starve the engine of fuel and it would cut out :)

    • Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • AI programs are riddled with bugs, and it's often surprising to see how little this is acknowledged. I guess it's all the rabid enthusiasm spurred by the blind investments in it because of the word "intelligence" in the nomenclature. AI has no intelligence at all, in and of itself, and it's just like any other program as it does what its programmers have told it to do, whether they like it or not, whether they realize it or not...
