Hey, he’s like, just this guy, you know?
Not in HTML. Never has worked that way.
Special reserved characters have always been handled this way because you don’t want to accidentally interpret something the wrong way.
Same for URL encoding. You upload “Clever Name.PDF” to a website and it generates a URL of “Clever%20Name.PDF” because spaces aren’t valid in URLs. %20 is the code for a space.
OP noted: “Don’t get me started on how this messes up linux commands and scripts”
If you’re running linux commands and scripts, you’re not a normal user and should know this already. :) It’s only been the standard for 30 years or so.
& is how & is represented in HTML.
If you need a literal &, then preceed it with an escape character like “\”.
If you’re doing this in a business environment, I wouldn’t fool around with a home rolled option and would just go straight with a Websense subscription:

Probably what it is. Someone on a student Visa or some such.
You’d want a 2nd chart I’d think with the #1 “from” country for each European country.
That’s only 1/2 the stat though…
What countries are the international students coming FROM?
People won’t pay for something that used to be free… OTOH, neither will bot farms.
Either case will end Twitter, so I say go for it!
Possible to take the hardware, wipe it, install Linux and not worry about expiration?
Lost me at “the first consumer product we’re aware of to use nitinol”.
There were nitinol eyeglass frames back in the 1980s.
Because Microsoft has no more business managing Epson applications than Epson does, I dunno, Kensington or Belkin.
Because Microsoft manages Windows update, it’s not like a package manager in Linux.
I don’t want Microsoft telling me when I should update an Epson printer driver.
“via Windows Update” - key piece of info missing from the headline “for some reason”.
Yeah, I don’t see a need for Windows update to do any 3rd party stuff.
As a console gamer, I don’t have to worry about it. Xbox Series X, PS5, Steam Deck are all AMD based. The Switch is Nvidia, but honestly, I can’t remember the last time I turned the Switch on.
Your iPad is an MP3 player, but as far as ripping a CD, first you need a USB CD drive, which is easy enough to get.
BUT… iOS doesn’t recognize optical drives, so once you have the USB drive, you need some other device to connect it to in order to rip the CDs.
Could be something like a Steam Deck or an inexpensive laptop or Chrome Book.
Once you rip the files to the device, you need to probably upload them to cloud storage accessible by both that device and the iPad.
Once the files are transferred to the iPad, you should be good to go!
Telling them that a) dealers don’t have access to telemetry data beyond what’s passed on the vehicle data port and b) providing a news article showing that 3/4 new cars communicate data back to the manufacturers unless you specifically opt out isn’t helpful?
Guessing you didn’t actually read the article?
First, you need to differentiate between “dealer” and “manufacturer”, except in minority cases like Tesla, they are two separate entities.
Dealers, as a rule, don’t have the capacity to accept telemetry data from vehicles. Source: I’m a former dealer sysadmin.
What they can and do do, is download telemetry data stored onboard when you bring the vehicle in for service. This is done through the OBD-II port which has been in every car since 1996.

If you’re concerned (or curious) about what data is passed over OBD-II, you can buy your own scanner, $20 to $100 on Amazon depending on features.
Now, MANUFACTURERS, that’s a different deal:

And, again, what is your definition of “privacy” and what is your definition of “modern car”?
Define “privacy” and define “modern car”.
In the end, it doesn’t matter what car you’re driving if you bring your Android/iPhone…
Text encoding is SUPER basic and anyone looking to get involved in Linux or scripting absolutely should know that stuff FIRST.
Source: I was teaching Linux 23 years ago before it was cool.
Here’s a good primer:
ASCII:

URL encoding:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP
Entity encoding:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp
Really, ALL of the W3Schools stuff is just fantastic. Anyone remotely interested in this stuff should start at the beginning there and work up.
