this problem is pretty much exclusive to early Leafs. As I explained, they didn’t manage heat well and the batteries degrade from that.

“Gaming” laptops have ethernet ports too.

How much walking around the room with your computer are you doing while you’re gaming? Just buy a 100-foot Ethernet cable from Monoprice (or make your own) and spend the other hundreds of dollars you’ll have left on games.

I don’t see many Ubiquiti ads on Gizmodo, so ...

Where do these cars go when they’re 4 months old?

We usually back into our garage- it’s a narrow alley, pulling out going forward is safer IMO. Our car has a back-up camera but I use the mirrors to get into the garage - I only use the camera to make sure I’ve backed in far enough to close the door.

Also... a co-worker had a data bank watch, maybe a Timex? not sure... Anyway, you could update your addresses and stuff by holding the watch up to the computer screen. It had an optical sensor and the companion program would send a pattern of lines like a bar code across the screen, which the watch would read.

I miss all the digital watches signaling a new hour with a little chime. Some went Beep Beep, some went Beepbeep, still others went Bleep Bleep. A lecture hall full of Casios announcing a new hour was a glorious sound.

My neighborhood already has at least one UPS hybrid delivery van making the rounds. When it’s only on electric it’s eerily quiet. No more just listening and half-assed looking before crossing the street!

I’ll buy it for $500, but you’ll get tons of exposure on social, cuz I’m an influencer!  Plus I promised my kid a car like that for his birthday, so you have to sell it to me.

Chevy Citation, 1980. It was a terribly awful vehicle - my Dad bought one partly because “Car of the Year.”

American Flyers, 1985.

Overlanding, the idea of outfitting your vehicle for some self-sufficiency on super-long off-grid trips,

I have a couple of questions for the Amarok:

Thank you for your nuanced review .

I’m deeply concerned that you don’t know it’s “monstrous.”

You can’t cut the wad of pet hair and carpet fuzz out of the roller brush when you’re not home, nor can you pull the “caster” roller and clean the crap out of its axle when you’re not at home.

“Make sure the background is far enough away”

If you’re buying a keyboard and/or mouse because of how they look, you’re really no different than the “prepubescent gamer kid,” you just have different aesthetics.
