What’s weird is for the first couple hours after it went live, the DLSS options were in the menu, but couldn’t be activated, then they poofed. The difficulty slider was never there, and RT options were the same as always - the are there but don’t do anything. I am betting that someone messed up and pushed an old build…

Replace “anime” with “football” and this doesn’t even make the news here in the US.

A very common take on things in today’s world is that success is worth any cost. “He got rich” is not and should not be considered a measure of success - you can get rich doing all kinds of things. A warlord kidnapping and enslaving children to be soldiers in the army that they used to take over a country will get…

I figured it was a “I am attracted to black men but have been taught/had beaten into me since birth that they are sub-human” thing being fed by alcohol. You see it a lot in the anti-LGBTQ crowd as well.

Yep - anyone who doesn’t appreciate the ability to get into your car and start it up while the key is still in your pocket simply has never experienced it, especially when it’s -20 out and you can’t get the keys out without taking one of your gloves off. It takes all of a day of having the option and you will think…

It’ll undoubtably outsell it by an order of magnitude, but pre-orders for the CT actually went UP after the Lightning was announced, so I don’t think there will be a lot of impact on sales. People who want the CT, want the CT, for better or worse.

Hyundai makes them. In Korea.

Looks too reliable. Replace more parts with plastic.

Yep, and I mentioned that the Ioniq 5 has them.

There are all kinds of comments people can make, and ones that don’t list reasons why they think a given one is shit are shit ones.

So, the technology is to blame when the user’s lack of maintenance is the failure point? So is your phone is the problem when you forget to plug it in?

Door locks on cars are just as vulnerable as they ever have been to brute force. The extra electronic stuff is only used on the ignition.

Are you seriously saying that car makers are using the same quality sensors as your $20 kitchen trash can?

Are you telling me that said rain has never frozen the locks and door handles of the door of your car? Because it has on mine.

Not on the back doors...

That’s GM in a nutshell, though, isn’t it? This is the same company whose current solution to the Bolt bursting into flames is to not park it in your garage (you know, where your charger most likely is). At this point, if you are crazy enough to buy a GM product, you should know enough to not get anything more than…

Why? Ford left them off the Mach-E, and in Korea Hyundai left the mirrors off the Ionic 5 for the top end version. It can be done, and it is being done.

Check out reviews of the Mach-E; it doesn’t have door handles at all. It has a button to activate the release servo, and a tiny finger pull ledge for the front door, and nothing at all for the back - it pops open and you grab the edge of the door. There’s no mechanical backup.

(TLDRL: Window motors and door lock/latch servos are not the same things) I will first point out that the release latch on a door lock or door release is a servo, not a motor like a window. Servos typically have rated use rates in the millions of operations, there’s basically no wear and tear on them. Window motors…

It’s funny that you are so attached to door handles, when car designers don’t even include them or side mirrors in their designs - engineers add them later. Door handles are unnecessary in today’s cars and interfere with aerodynamics. Ford got rid of them on the Mach-E, Hyundai is hiding them inside the door itself…
