Assuming the screen is a fairly generic part that supports auto rotating like a smartphone, the resistors could be for tricking the accelerometer to force it into one orientation. It’d be interesting to see if the screen would rotate if the car flipped over, or under hard cornering.

Yeah, clearly they used capital numbers for the MPH and lower case numbers for the km/h 

A few summers there that wouldn’t get me past end of June once school let out. Being a late 80's kid, by time I was 9 (1987) I was pretty much allowed to ride my bike anywhere for however long I wanted. Back when parents (were) allowed their kids to roam pretty freely.....

“More riders obviously means more bike repairs, but the problem is budget bikes are breaking too often too soon and aren’t actually repairable.”

Hidden windshield wipers are a solved problem. Increase the height of the hood slightly or lower the windshield a bit, put them at the bottom, bam. You have hidden wipers. I also don't like the tall wiper because pushing snow down on the initial stroke would be really annoying. But I guess that’s not disruptive…

Option A: vote him out

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the world couldn’t possibly revolve around bullshit despite the entirety of human history

Counterpoint- they shouldn't be allowed to do those things either

Though on an etymological level, strato- just means layer. So it still works, technically.

Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard is in a whole other stratosphere.

This is a bad taek. 

I’ve never had a problem with either.

5G is an encoding standard, not a frequency. In Europe they have a larger guard band and require cellular operators to use far lower power near airports as well as require beam shaping to lower the angle the maximum power is broadcast at. The Europeans use Block A and Block B near airports. This is about the US using…

I keep seeing this tone repeated in the media and among their commentariat and it makes no sense. The sport is at an all time peak in popularity and is about to make significant rule changes to address everyone’s primary complaint - parity. In the 8 years I’ve been watching the sport I can’t recall a time that there…

literally every time we encounter a big person in Al’s life “Huh, you’re a lot shorter than I remember!”
Yes it will be every time.
Yes it will be in the past tense even though they are just meeting.
Yes even the accordion will say it.

This was always inevitable. Exclusives are a thing in gaming unlike any other industry—there are no real comparisons of equal value. It’s like if Warner Bros. had a deal with LG that you needed one of their TVs to watch any WB movies. This is worse now because over time, these big publishers have acquired more and…

Here’s an idea - stop with this DRL BS and just use the freaking low beam lights and taillights that are already there are the DRL. Car in drive? lights are on. End of story.

an androgynous zone

Is nice to see that even over 15 years later the pros still are trying to remove every gun save the BR.
