1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

58.6GB of map data just to make sure I've got all of Europe covered and then some. I will probably never drive to Portugal. But now I can.

Cool! Never know when you get to Portugal.

My car's brand got sold by VAG to PSA. VAG said this is the license for all the map shit, you can buy it if you want so you can service your customers. PSA said No thanks!

So now my car will never get another map update ever again, the latest data is from 2016 and as you can imagine doesn't really match reality in any way shape or form. The builtin GPS was bad anyways, so not a big loss. I'm an old person so I still drive pretty much everywhere without GPS. But it can come in handy at some times, but I've learnt the hard way not to trust anything that stupid thing says.

I've considered a phone mount so I can just use my phone for navigation, but never got around to it.
