I’ve been using Google Photos for quite a while. Switched from Flickr when they changed it a few years back. Google Photos backup happens in the background, and it allows unlimited photos, so I don’t need to pay for more storage. The limited resolution of 16MP is more pixels than my iPhone XR camera even has in the…

Are they real manuals or just listed as such? I’ve found about 50% of the cars listed as manual on autotrader are not.

You do realize that posting a picture on the Internet does not end your copyright? And that a business does not have the right to just download your picture and use it in its advertising, particularly if you say “No, I don’t agree to that”.

What IP property was used by the photographer?

Our artist dont need any more free exposure, they need to be compensated for their work like anyone else. I dont know about you, but Im certainly not working for free, and if my employer attempted to discontinue paying me, citing the resume building opportunities brought by my work, I would laugh my way into another…

That is not what public domain means

...because they took his photos and used them in an advertisement without compensating him? Did you read the article?

I don’t think “IP” means what you think it means...

It was a photo of the California superbloom, you weirdo. Taking a picture with your car in it is not “profiting from Volvo’s IP”.

You must have missed this:

It’s not the same company anymore. They are not the quirky upstart underdogs, they are now a subsidiary of the biggest automaker in the world building boring cars that underachieve. They’ve gone all-in on this “safety” nonsense so that their Chinese associates could divert the enthusiast attention to their Trojan…

Volvo: “We don’t need permission!”

You know what? Even THAT doesn’t truly encapsulate the shittyness here. This is like if a Volvo employee had gone to an art gallery where this artist was trying to sell his prints, with a camera, and took pictures of those pictures, and then went back to Volvo and posted those pictures to the website, and then claimed…

I’m trying to think of a good comparison to this, and I think I have one. This would be like if back in the day, Car and Driver bought a copy of Cars magazine, and then re-printed pictures from it in their own magazine. And when they got sued, they then claimed that because they bought a copy of the magazine, they…

Exactly. Further proof that the Chinese steal every damn thing. Jack Ma became a billionaire as founder of the world’s most prominent ripoff site, Alibaba. The Chinese just do not care about patent, trademark, or trade dress infringement of any kind.

So a Civic Hatch Si?  I agree, I made donwith the Sport Touring and don't regret it.  But a little more CTR would have been nice.

Already exists. It’s the Sport Line model with low spoiler, higher profile tires and more sound insulation.

Needs one more option: Boy Racer Delete Kit; -$1,395

Not what I expected at all. That driver was both lucky and, from what I can read of the telemetry, cool as a cucumber. Looks like: hard on the brakes, then off everytime the spin was complete and then back on to the brakes moderately in an effort to stop the spin.

Sony Driveman. You heard it here first.
