- That, or, establish a trust to own the vehicle and grant yourself permission to use it. It's not exactly trivial to do and costs some money, but it's doable.
You can do similar with an LLC, but that gets more complicated with the rules regarding using a "company" vehicle for personal purposes. IANAL
Similar things are done for things like cellphone plans, firearm ownership, homes, etc.
The only thing I am aware of that you can only do in your own name is register to vote. Almost all of the Michigan voter database can be FOIA'd. It's called the QVF - qualified voter file. Only a few fields in the database (ie, day and month of birth) as well as all voter records for victoms domestic battery are protected by statute.
- This is intentionally not PII. You accept this burden when you decide to register a vehicle.
Keep in mind you don't need to have a license plate or to register a vehicle to drive it only on private property.
Your license plate is required to be readily visible so that it can be used to find out who the registered and, presumably, responsible party is.
Consider if you skip out on paying for parking at a garage, where you agreed to pay the fee by parking there in the first place. How is the business supposed to identify you to collect the money owed?
Otherwise, how else would automatic private toll roads know where to send the bill?
In Michigan, I believe the law only permits someone to request registration details for certain listed reasons. They don't verify that, but if you're caught submitting a fraudulent request, you can get in trouble - I don't know if it's a fine or crime. Probably depends on the circumstance.
PS Hello from Grand Rapids!
- No, because while the leasing company may own the vehicle (known as the title holder) the vehicle will be registered in the lesser's name (known as the registered owner.)
In the case of a car purchased with financing like a loan, I believe the purchaser will be both the title and registered owner, but the lender will have a lien on the vehicle until the debt is paid off.
- Pardon, but do you have a link for this RePair compressor?
Unfortunately, different searches for this RePair you mentioned have only revealed links to resources for repairing broken air compressors, damaged compressed files, spinal injuries, etc.
- Yes, I believe your understanding is lacking. Ambulances are dispatched for other medical emergencies as well. Compared to many other parts of Australia and even the world, the response time statistics claimed are very good.
Sadly, A heart attack can be fatal even with immediate medical intervention at a hospital. A defibrillator can only correct certain kinds of abnormal heart electrical activity.
In my experience as soon as the dispatcher understands it's a medical problem, has confirmed the address and that the patient is not breathing, they will begin talking the caller through performing CPR.
I suppose if I was concerned about it, the burden would be on me to move somewhere closer to the hospital or wherever the ambulance stages between calls. Unfortunqtely, there's always a chance no ambulance is available or that an accident has blocked the road.
How soon do you believe assistance should arrive?
- That's a feature, not a bug. If the user can't load the redirection, they can't get phished! Problem solved.
If anyone complains, refer them to the security department to be audited. It's really rather suspicious when someone values doing their job above security.
- I agree they may want to reuse the spectrum, but I doubt it would be for a new satellite. At least not the stuff in the lower VHF band, around 137 MHz which is awfully close to the airband reservation used for VDL Mode 2 - around 135-137 MHz, IIRC. VDLM2 is in many ways a more modern ACARS.
They'd more likely use higher bands on newer satellites to get more throughput. The GOES birds transmit up around 1.7GHz, afaik and likely higher as well.
- The receiving IR remotes with an SDR by connecting an IR photodiode across the antenna input sounded like nonsense to me. I googled and could it be you meant people using the IR receiver feature of the RTLSDR's? It may still require connecting a photodiode, but to a different set of inputs.
https://medium.com/@rxseger/receiving-ir-signals-with-rtl-sd...
As to connecting a photodiode to the antenna input, I don't see how that would work, but that may well be due to my limited understanding and imagination.
Do you mean using the photodiode in a photovoltaic mode? Also, presumably you'd have to bypass the tuner and hook to the direct sampling pins on an RTLSDR? Even with direct sampling, wouldn't the 38kHz of IR remote modulation get filtered out by the DC blocking?
- I remember those. Absolute monsters. They used a DB13W3 with proper mini coax lines for the RGB signals instead of the VGA HD15.
They weighed a ton, were painful to move and basically consumed the entirety of any desk they were set on.
- A late 90s Trinitron would have been 4:3, so 1280x1024. I found it more important to run a trinitron at the native resolution for the shadow mask. Otherwise things got blurry and gross. A bit like using an LCD at its non-native resolution where things get unevenly stretched and squished.
I seem to remember my Sony G220 had a native resolution of 1024x768 and I could run it up around 100Hz. I think the max was 1600x1200@60Hz.
Often my maximum refresh rate was limited by my graphics card's dot clock rather than the CRT specs.
- I, too, have the full name email address and I, too, have received mail for others with the same name. I've long since stopped acting on any emails except for extraordinary situations. I don't understand why people react so negatively to news they've made a mistake as if it's my fault they're using the wrong address.
But, yeah, one of my namesakes has a boyfriend who still hasn't realized the photos of antiques and his penis aren't reaching my namesake. Another has a son attending a British school in Hong Kong who is somehow earning poor marks in Mathematics /and/ Physical Education. I'm worried for a third that still hasn't finished his required food safety and hygiene courses. I believe a fourth is an Irish landlord with an increasingly frustrated tenant - who appears to be emailing both my namesake and me every time. Recently, it's been issues with her kitchen sink plumbing.
- The landing gear lever is rather prominently featured in the 787 in a panel central to the cockpit layout so that either pilot can easily reach it. For decades and across many manufacturers, the landing gear lever has traditionally featured a knob that deliberately resembles an airplane wheel. It's very hard to mistake it for anything else. It's actuated by simply moving it up or down.
The fuel control switches are behind the throttle stalks above the handles to release the engine fire suppression agents. These switches are markedly smaller and have guards on each side protecting them from accidental manipulation. You need to reach behind and twirl your fingers around a bit to reach them. Actuating these switches requires pulling the knob up sufficiently to clear a stop lock before then rotating down. There are two switches that were activated in sequence and in short order.
The pilot monitoring is responsible for raising the gear in response to the pilot flyings' instruction.
I would find it very difficult to believe this was a muscle memory mistake. At the very least, I would want to more evidence supporting such a proposition.
This idea strikes me as even more unlikely than someone shifting their moving vehicle into reverse while intending to activate the window wipers.
- For what it's worth, the second letter of the d-sub naming convention indicates the width of the shell. A DB15 would be excessively wide for the number of pins. The correct name for the classic three row VGA port is DE-15 and it uses the same width shell as the DE-9 often used for serial ports.
Note, old Mac's used a wider, two row DA-15 at one point.
The DE-15 is occasionally called an HD-15 and the correctness of that is widely debated on internet forums.
- Specifically, it is the AU/NZ SouthPAN SBAS that's delivered via Inmarsat. They use PRN 122 for the corrections.

- Most modern cellphones use AGPS, assisted GPS, to reduce the time to get their first fix. Basically, AGPS primes the GPS receiver with an accurate time of day and the GPS almanac (satellite ephemeris data). That's rather different from Differential GPS, which is basically corrections used to compensate for fluctuating conditions in the atmosphere.
I may be wrong, but I don't know of any system for cell-tower derived corrections being redistributed out as GNSS corrections. Could you clarify the specific system you described?
- To be fair, the Britney Spears' Guide to Semiconductor Physics website has been around for at least 20 years.
- This is the first talk I've considered listening at less than 1x speed.
- Or it could be a few nuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZkAP-CQlhA
( yes, I know that's a terrestrial, microwave relay dish and not a satellite antenna, but it could happen.)
Without using an LLC, most every state requires you to register your vehicle where you live within 30-90 days with some exceptions (ie college students).
Even with the LLC, if you catch the attention of the state, I believe you might be risking being charged with tax evasion even if your goal was to protect your privacy. This is especially true if you can't prove the LLC to be a legitimate business venture.
Yeah, the Corolla won't be mistaken for a supercar, but many states have begun cracking down on residents with Montana plates such as Georgia, Ohio, and New York.
Also, insuring a car with out of state registration can be committing insurance fraud. Rates and fees are different between states due to different regulations. Further, depending on your policy, the insurer could deny claims because the car wasn't garaged in the state it was registered.
Really, if the privacy is of sufficient priority, the best solution is to just do things properly and move to rural Montana instead.
