EA’s press conference is actually the weekend before E3 starts. Same thing with Microsoft’s and Bethesda’s press conferences. They’re done hyping their stuff before E3 proper even starts.

Especially if recorded at 4K.
Just to be clear, the comic in zombie711's post is not the original version of the comic. The last frame had been altered for whatever reason to temporarily add the smirk for the 10th anniversary. In the original version of the comic, that character’s face showed the same stress that can be seen in the first three…
It also had a lot less functionality when I first tried it, to the point that even web browsers on mobile phones felt far more fully featured.
Then why not simply impose harsh sanctions instead of invading a new sovereign nation? The US certainly has no problems in the modern day allowing nations with terrible human rights records to keep their current governments. And that fight against slavery was fresh after shoving native peoples off their land to make a…
You’ve just described the reason that the federal government would be even more motivated to keep California in the Union. If they weren’t going to let a bunch of cotton and tobacco farmers walk way from the USA, they sure aren’t going to let the world’s 5th largest economy get away.
Not to mention that last time a bunch of US states tried to secede, it didn’t work out well for them.
Dead batteries aren’t the only failure scenario for keyless ignition. On one car I’ve driven, occasionally the car fails to detect a key fob with a perfectly good battery in it (tested using a multimeter). Not a big deal while parked in a driveway, but I’d hate to have the car shut down in traffic just because…
Hmph... Kids these days and their fancy lightweight space-age materials. REAL license plates should be made out of steel, not pop cans and soda bottles.
Now playing
Obligatory:
Yep, and I think the fact that they were able to get up to 102 mph(!) proves that it wasn’t even remotely a busy road. It’s pretty crazy to blame a woman for wanting to go for a walk in a residential neighborhood.
If gang members in Canada can afford armored vehicles, there’s something seriously wrong over there.
No, the saying is absolutely true. Anyone who BUYS a boat is going to regret it. It’s not too different from a kid wanting a puppy without considering the consequences. The people who don’t regret boats are the people who COMMIT to a boat. Owning a boat requires the willingness and ability to commit to all the…
IR does not have any special requirements for reflective coatings. Many printers and scanners use IR sensors to detect the presence or absence of paper, and it’s not uncommon for those sensors to work by shining IR light onto plain copy paper (which is not normally manufactured to be reflective) and detecting the…
Absolutely agreed. In heavy traffic, neutral on a manual transmission counts as a driving gear.
The e-plates are self-illuminating, so being reflective isn’t really all that important.
So the guy in the video states that these wonderful new plates are available/legal in CA, TX, and AZ. What, pray tell, do you do when you need to drive your car in one of the other 47 states? Go to the DMV for set of temp tags?
Agreed. Having a camera staring right into what would otherwise be a blind spot is quite nice. Something that would be invisible to mirrors like a small child or pet directly behind the car are readily visible to a backup camera. They’re also nice for those times when you’re backing into a space where every inch…
It needs to display some sort of unique identifier so that witnesses of crimes involving vehicles (which can include kidnapping and murder) can provide information that’s more specific than make/model/color.
Somehow I doubt a $10 RFID reader will be able to reliably scan a specific car at a distance of 20 meters.
