  • There’s a replevin for when debtors won’t comply. It’s like a warrant. I don’t like it any more than the next guy but if we buy cars on finance, the dealer or bank owns the car until we’ve paid our loan off. Hiding it from them is technically stolen property. A lien holder’s legal right to a repo order is a literally a signed tenet of the loan agreement.

    Not a problem that needs to be solved with technology, there’s already the long arm of the law. Capitalism! 👍








  • Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

    And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).











  • Fair point. This was the first thing I looked at when I woke up today before putting my brain in gear, and I was thinking of the example of being in a train carriage at 70mph and jumping up - because the air resistance is acting upon the train, not directly upon the passenger jumping up and down, they don’t end up having the back of the train catch up to them at 70mph…



  • Stock android without an unlocked bootloader will not give you access to the hosts file, and there shouldn’t be a firewall you don’t know about. Can you run a vbox or live USB on another machine on your network to see if it will see the server?

    I just saw you already answered about the same gateway and mask. Hm. I’m thinking there’s probably a janky setting on your router, that’s the only place I can think of that might have a poorly configured or unconfiugred firewall. Especially if it works on the cellular using the VPN.

    Good luck with it, I’m sorry I don’t have the exact answer!

    Edit - just saw your edit. Computing is like that sometimes! Glad you got it working. 👍
