Very well said. A wide range makes a lot of sense for some positions and very little sense for others (e.g. dental receptionist). It’s a pretty disappointing lack of knowledge or imagination on the article author’s part that this isn’t addressed.

IDx concept with a bed!

One little missed tidbit is they’re raising the Basic (ads-free) plan to 720p (up from 480p):

by the way, the back seats CAN be folded independently. The smaller side goes down leaving the larger side and that cross bar (there for side impact purposes, IIRC). The larger side cannot go down by itself... but this works if one wants to carry longer items like skis but use the back seat at the same time.

Antenna TV is better than you think...wise up

good to see you guys upholding the principles of a free press

Would one photo of a dot have been too much to ask?

The JWST is basically the Total Perspective Vortex.

For starters, there’s no CarPlay or Android Auto to be found. Rivian representatives told me the company doesn’t want to cede any ground to third-party engineering, preferring to maintain control over every aspect of the user experience.

Going back to the story of Polestar yesterday and how “molest the eyes” comment.

Not just my take, many other have mentioned it, but just a few issues are less crisp image, no reflection for light to bounce off and instead it is just an always on light source, they are much easier to get dirty and become useless/blurry(think about your backup cam with just a little snow/salt/dirt covering it),…

I suspect it’s more that they believe there will be a vigorous EV resale market, and they want to capture that rather than the car lessee buying it from them at a pre-determined price. 

The worse infotainment systems are the ones that you can’t replace it with an aftermarket system and I am talking about those giant tablet like screens.

Any HU that also incorporates vehicle settings is just bad. Bad, bad, BAD! They are worse than the AM-only double-DIN that came in your early-70s car.

I actually though “fake meat” is quite apt, but I don’t know anything about marketing. 

Not only a shirt, but also socks, underwear, and whatever pants/shorts/bottoms you can roll up into the smallest volume, so you’ll have one other set of clothes when the airline loses all of your checked luggage.

Here we go, baby!

I had planned to suggest Elio Motors as the biggest automotive flop, but I put off introducing anything until it was too late.

Really looking forward to seeing Walken and McDiarmid doing a charity Emperor-Off at Comic-Con.
