Considering no other automaker felt that was necessary, it seems like a copout. Theoretically, at least, Apple and Google design their systems so the vehicle doesn’t NEED updates to be compatible. If it’s actually true though that it does need updates to unlock access to new functions, charge for them then. And only…

If paying a subscription for, say, aspects of the infotainment system means a car company finally keeps it up to date so it meets current technology standards and functionality, is kept secure, continues to be compatible with the latest apps I need and phones I buy, etc., instead of becoming obsolete within a year or…

This is EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw this. Also, hi. I played Colin, his counterpart in the pilot.

This aligns very well with my general experiences with the companies and their level of effort in their job, which correlates with my life experience of the difference in commitment between people who feel respected and appropriately compensated by their employer and those who don’t. FedEx is MASSIVELY more likely…

I put racing stripes on my computer, and RGB lights on my car.

I have to imagine he spent extra time working on the power steering.

This is the gaming PC of Aston Martins. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

It’s about lead vs. lead, chase vs. chase across two runs. How well did the lead driver follow the requirements of the course, stay sideways where applicable, get close to the wall, etc., and how well did the chase mimic them throughout, staying as close as possible, without deviating notably? Then comparing the same…

It’s changed dramatically over the years, but some calls are just hard to make. I’m not into typical sports, but it feels a lot like those in the way some tough calls have to be made. What’s cool though is getting to hear the judges directly explain their rationale, and oftentimes you’ll watch what looked like a clear…

My wife got me heavily into this maybe six years ago, and it’s been a blast to watch. Way more followable than typical racing for my ADHD brain, thanks to the individual short competitions. I love the camaraderie and support between competitors, to the point where they trade parts and repair tips across teams because…

But for me, coming from an Xbox One, and considering my next console, factors like this do matter. I was very seriously considering going PS5 when they’re available and I’m ready, and the more I read about concepts like this and other similar differences, the more it makes me think I might stick with Xbox in the next…

This is the case with SO much technology. It’s usually the things that work the best that you don’t notice. It’s only what’s broken that stands out. So people take for granted a system like this that works so hard to stay completely out of your way.

Seriously, a four-year-old battery will not last like a new one. This is not remotely strange.

Yeah, I don’t know why there’s any surprise here. This is how batteries work. This isn’t remotely odd.

Seriously, I remember as a kid/teenager thinking switching to yokes would be da shit, and then I became an actual driver and realizing switching to yokes would be shit.

Two thoughts:

Did you watch the linked video before commenting, or read the article itself? Both indicate that the final design appears to come very close to the concept.

I don’t think that’s the takeaway of the comment at all.

R4 is also an all-time favorite of mine, and I wanted this controller SO badly. But in the days before everything was available online, it was a matter of local availability, and there was none. I guess I probably would have hated it based on this review, but it’s still sad I never got my hands on one.

Water can also contain dirt, gunk, sentiment, other liquids, and who knows what else.
