Meanwhile, inside the patrol car...

Yes. Yes I am prepared to pay that extra.

“Don’t work overtime unless you’re paid for it, y’all. Protect your health. Companies don’t care about you.”Everyone should get this tattooed on their chest, or arm, or someplace else easily visible so they see it every morning when they get up and look at themselves in the mirror.

I thought ios12 fixed this with the Play Media intents? Have you tried recently?

Let’s say you need directions to a local Starbucks. You can get out your phone, unlock it, open Maps, type in a search, then click it and ask for directions.

Instead of people looking up directions to Home Depot from their phone, they can now ask Alexa. Alexa is a purely verbal interface, it has the potential to increase driver attention.

There’s dedicated local circuitry with a buffer of only a few seconds that listens for a keyword. It is very difficult to monitor what someone is saying without having the blue ring lights turn on after being triggered by saying Alexa. If the blue ring lights aren’t on, your voice is NOT being sent anywhere outside of…

Tell men that a single room at a single event is off limits to them for a couple of hours and it’s a war crime to be tried at the Hague. Implement and nourish a work culture openly hostile for over a decade and “ThaT’S JuSt VieDEo GamES BRo”

Look, who honestly gives a fuck if she “properly” co-opted a hand gesture. That’s not the fucking point.

People ignored Nazism in the 20s and gave it pause during the early 30s. You’re welcome to explain how well that went. What you’re saying makes NO FUCKING SENSE.

Pointing out racism only perpetuates more nonsense by racists. I really like to know who they are, so good on the root for pointing this out. She holds levers of power or is close with those who do. I hope more of them come out of the woodwork, just to troll. This isn't petty or small potatoes, so intelligent people…

Liberal media always reporting about all these republican leaning racist and hate-filled groups on the internet (and in real life) and the public officials who appear to happily be members of these groups.

Ever notice how they raise a huge fuss about boiling lobsters alive, but you never hear people complain about crawfish? I think laziness might outweigh principles here.

A: “You can’t boil a lobster alive! That’s cruel! You have to kill it first!”
B: “You know what? You’re right. Here are 2000 tiny lobsters. Get…

If I can’t do something commonly needed while driving without taking my eyes off the wheel for more than half a second, I just can’t buy the car. On my car I can switch the lights on and off, change the heater settings, change the wiper settings, switch driving modes and navigate the radio all by feeling for the…

Agreed. I love the overall design of Tesla, and what they aspire to be, but this would be maddening. I have a hard enough time interacting with my phone on the road to the point that I avoid doing so. Without some sort of haptic response, this would seem to be a distraction.

I change the vents when I get in and so does my wife. We also change them depending on how hot the weather is, to keep the kids cool enough, or not if the sun’s down. It’s not like we’re constantly fiddling with them, but we frequently alter them such that driver profiles and touchscreen control would be a significant…

Yup. Touchscreens are awesome for anyone not driving and anything unrelated driving

Yes, anyone could potentially be distracted by a squirrel or their phone or anything else. That’s not an excuse for this intentionally shitty design that guarantees that people will be distracted, and often.

These horrible and counterintuitive design decisions affect us all. I don’t want to get hit by some Model 3 driver because he’s staring at this atrocious touchscreen for minutes at a time, trying to change the radio station or adjust the A/C vents. This fucking mess seems specifically designed to cause the maximum…
