iarenaza··on The Story of Mel (1983)
Hey, exactly the same I did in my apprenticeship! Only a few years earlier (1988 in my case).
iarenaza··on Why not hire part-time developers?
Spaniard here. Definitely negotiated IP terms for my current contract :-)
iarenaza··on Lenovo tablet forced update shows un-dismissable, un-mutable, ad notifications
I've done it at least twice with my Thinkpad T495. Bootable USB with El Torito format, if I remember it correctly. Using Lenovo official ISO images and instructions, etc.

Well, my 7 years old Mercedes A 180 CDI 2012 model (Diesel engine) averages 53 mpg (4.4 l/100Km) still today (see my old comment with all the details for the these numbers at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14552816). The manufacturer-supplied official numbers are even better (3.3 to 3.6 l/100Km, or about 65 to 71 mpg).

NB: the above mpg numbers are computed using US gallons (3.785 litres)

iarenaza··on Oil changes, safety recalls, and software updates
Don't know the specifics of the Audi Q7 of the OP, but my Mercedes A 180 CDI 2012 model (Diesel engine) averages 53 mpg (4.4 l/100Km) for my conmute trip (35 KM total, including ~8 KM of mountain road, with a 300m elevation change). Given that my A180 has a 50 liter (13.21 US gallons) fuel tank according to the manufacturer, that means I could make up to ~1,100 Km with a single tank. In practice I refuel before that, but routinely make ~900 Km between refuels.
