This might not be the only company doing this kind of analysis. It’s likely that this company is hired by a few banks, so they see the loans that go through those. Other banks have their own fraud department, or hire other firms, so it does not represent the entire market.

Someone that used a true address but false income might try to make payments at first, to avoid a repo. Especially if they don’t know the dealer was doing the fraud to make them “qualify.

I did the same several years ago. (Though rates weren’t quite down to 2% at that time.)

In some cases, even the window buttons go through the car’s digital network to reach the window motor. It can mean fewer wires in the door hinge, and more automation like when Tesla lets you lower the windows a crack from an app.

They do indeed have individual motors on each mirror to control them down to 10 NANOmeters.

My child’s preschool was using it to handle payments. I said no thank you, we’re handing you a paper check.

Now playing

Voice tech is much more advanced today, we’re not talking about tomorrow’s tech. Here’s a sample from three years ago:

Or could also be a diplomatic “We know who did it but don’t want to reveal it in public.” Maybe there was a private apology, or threat of counter-actions.

A fan would not impact the battery nearly as much as whatever is generating so much heat. It might even help maintain the battery life if the battery doesn’t overheat.

There’s some 5G that uses frequencies already licensed for 4G. Those have been in use for more than a year. There’s another 5G that will use higher frequencies and more bandwidth. The license (mostly to Verizon and AT&T) for those new frequencies starts tomorrow. The new frequency happens to be close to frequencies

How would they know what phone number to use if it’s not opt-in? And if you don’t opt-in they still have the option of pulling you over. They are not going to just say, “ohh, nevermind” if you’re not in the database.

I think equally big news is that you can no longer stream the Olympics if you do have a cable subscription. So those who watched prior years as part of their existing subscription must now buy a new separate one.

I’ve heard that some (many?) police or military dogs are trained with commands from a different language to avoid confusion, and also prevent a stranger (or criminal) from giving conflicting commands.

It’s tricky, because Starlink needs to know exactly where you are in order to send the beam in your direction. If you tell it you’re someplace else, you get no signal at all. So to the extent that SpaceX doesn’t want to have a country upset at them, (for example if they use ground stations there,) or if the US doesn’t

Dogs know more of our language than most people think. Some of them have leaned to talk back: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEa46rlHqEP6ClWitFd2QOQ

The “quantum dot” part is a way to downshift the frequency of light using a tiny physical structure. Because the LED part is now all a single color, you don’t have to lay down three different chemistries. All of the LEDs are a single chemistry, layered under the “dot” part which are structures of three different sizes

I’m really not sure, they haven’t rolled it our for my city yet. Hence the questions. But I thought I had heard it somewhere. It may vary on how the local program is set up.

If we can’t use bags, how do we keep the can from stinking after sitting all week in the summer sun? Will it be releasing millions of mold spores every time we open it? How do we keep bugs and animals out? Does it need to be washed out every week?

One would certainly notice the PPI difference between 4K and HD
