I’d say old Lifehacker was more about technology than generic Life hacks but I definitely agree that they should go back to their roots.

This seems like the kind of article that could already fit on one of LHs sub-blogs as well (IE Vitals) so it isn’t even like they’d have to start yet another sub-blog.

I thought that the American view of Upper Class people was more closely linked to our idea of upper-middle class than landed gentry and other people in the upper classes. Therefore it’d be more useful to translate into American English since most Brits would already know what I was saying.

Could you provide names because I’m kinda interested.

Yeah, but if we get enough hydrogen for car use we can use Hydrogen Fuel Cells instead. I know that Fuel Cells produce just water and though a Hydrogen ICE would be less efficient and produces some NOx

It isn’t really though, not being a clot is the safest bet. If you jailbreak an IPhone and then go downloading countless porn apps you’d be far more likely to get infected than someone with a rooted Android that only installs apps from trusted sources (Google Play, F-Droid, Amazon App Store).

Yeah, houses are very expensive in the UK especially in London and affluent suburbs.. The South East while a lot cheaper still has an average price of £319,368 or $418042. The UK as a whole has an average price of £145,933 or $191021.

Currently just sales, as far as I’m aware they haven’t stated whether used sales will count or not but it’d be pretty shocking if they do.

Probably in 23 years we will find out that’s the approach the government will take but if you say that publicly then manufacturers, especially high end ones, might not really bother with electric cars, or make half-arsed ones, and just make do with higher taxes. 

The ban isn’t for cars, just cars powered by Petroleum or Diesel. The wording is bad but conventional car here, I presume, just refers to the ICE as opposed to cars as a concept.

I think the problem is that this gets far more clicks. Tech reviews are fairly subjective, and people that will never buy an Acer laptop for example aren’t going to be swayed by a slightly clickbaity headline where as politics affects almost everyone and therefore they want it on the site with the most traffic (Giz).

Yeah, that isn’t going to happen. Natural Gas is already lumped in with Coal when talking about power plants. There is no way that’ll be anything but niche. It’d be like proposing LPG is the replacement for Petrol and Diesel cars.

That’s you being paranoid. Autonomous cars != Electric cars. Teslas can be driven 100% manually. Where as Googles autonomous cars often use petrol powered cars as the base. 

I doubt most companies would release a 2039 model in the UK if the ban stays. 2040 is probably expected to be after basically everyone has converted to a different fuel source anyway or would be if they’re buying a new car.

Well, a very basic (IE slide to unlock or password set to 0000) would prevent butt-dialing without taking very long to unlock.

They aren’t going to mention a feature that less than 2% of mobiles have.

Whereas houses there cost many times that of basically any car.

Kensington and the city of London are almost exclusively full of upper class people though. It isn’t really representative of the UK, The South East of England or even Greater London.

Isn’t the weakness usually in the user anyway. For example it doesn’t matter if you’ve got a 20 character alphanumeric password for your android phone if you go downloading random apps on shady sites. Where as if you’ve got a simple(ish) pattern or PIN with your phone wiping data after 3 incorrect goes you’ll be…

Because Gizmodo has been the new Gawker since Gawker died. It sucks, and to be honest I’d rather it returns to its roots but they’ve been like this for almost a year.
