The obvious solution is x-y hall-effect sensors using magnetic flux for positioning. These sensors are common in automotive applications, only cost about $1.75 (retail price from Infineon Tecnologies, so surely bulk wholesale is much less) are very reliable and have current draws in the micro-amp range. Steam…

I think it’s worth mentioning that the ambient/original music in the Bounty of Blood DLC is some of the best original score I think I’ve ever heard in a video game. It perfectly captures the western/samurai vibe and pays homage to scores from Morricone and Hayasaka while being it’s own work entirely. I also think it’s…

Agreed, the first time I was like “Oh no, the little bastard did it! Haha!” but Mando told him no... the next time I was like, “c’mon dude. That’s not cool”. After that it was like “Jesus Christ this little shit is gonna suck down the entire jar and make the frog lady cry and/or kill him.. this is awful.” It would…

Damnit! Netflix, Y u do dis?

The Niva’s biggest problem in crash testing (which was, as far as I know last updated in 2011 when it got a driver’s airbag (optional)) is it’s lack of crumple zones. The Niva’s unibody is actually extremely ridged and very, very strong. which is bad, because it’s has very low energy absorption. All the force of the…

Yeah, I guess a central cam and long radial pushrods, like an aircraft engine would be perfectly fine, and not too complex... I am one of those people who always defaults to thinking about OHC...

interesting... The valve train would obviously be comically complex, but there’s some neat stuff going on here...

This is exactly why the PS5 has variable clock speed... All the instruction sets from the PS4 are still available, but if the hardware is running too fast, it may mess up important timing things. Sony’s solution: slow the hardware down. It’s kinda brilliant. Theoretically this should mean wider/more accurate backward…

It seems the 5 has the hardware moxy to run software emulation of the 1 and 2 without any issue. The 3... Well that hardware is tricky to emulate... The RPCS3 team has done amazing work, and the hardware requirements are actually not too bad, but there’s still a long way to go on that front.

I’m with you. Language, and especially English relies heavily on context. Removing, or retconning a word’s (or even phrase’s) context changes its meaning. Language evolves. Language is context sensitive. This same attitude leads to literal readings of the Bible, and we all know how well that goes. 

Wait, does this mean I can ditch Android and have a windows-phone(ish) experience again? I loved my WP devices, and very grudgingly gave up my Lumia 950xl when I moved to Ting... If the new devices are VOWIFI/(VOIP)/VOLTE compatible and phone-ish, I relish the idea of ditching the inconsistent UX and buried…

This has multiple motors... motor per wheel? you can hear the whine get out of synch under acceleration when there is probably wheel slip...

No one?

As the owner of a 2019 Kona Limited, it is the answer. Surprisingly fun to drive, excellent AWD system, short person friendly, reasonably priced and well equipped.

The Golf AllTrack is decidedly NOT short person friendly. Mrs. BoostAddict, who is 5'4" cannot find a comfortable driving position in one.

As a liberal pinko commie hippie that’s pro gun ownership, I support this statement. The (modern) NRA-jimmy-rustled Gun Nuts are the problem. (Free health care -including mental health- wouldn’t hurt)

I had a 2003 and a 2011 Elantra with stick, the shift feel was very good, and the clutch feel in the 2003 was excellent, the 2011 had too much of that modern-small-car zero-pedal-effort going on, but it still made for fun times at the autocross, and the handling with strut tower braces and good tires was surprising. 

I had a 2003 sedan and a 2011 Touring, both with manual. They were competent, reliable, cheap to own, and the stick was pretty good. I now have a 2019 Kona Limited, and the chassis, 1.6 turbo, and excellent AWD system would be great with a row-your-own option, sadly that does not exist. I still say its the best, least…

The encounters with the “true unonown” were the best parts of Voyager, so hopefully Discovery plays that game well too. Also, I just cant help but think Control has/had/will-have-had something to do with the Borg...
