How does range correlate to the size of the motor? Would you say the same about a Focus RS, with a barely 250 mile tank range?

And for anyone who’s driven a golf cart, one-pedal driving is going to be completely intuitive and I would guess quite useful in a city.

Could be the electric motor’s rated speed with the gearing provided. Doesn’t say anything about the acceleration profile, honestly.

So, in order to avoid jeopardizing their contract, they knowingly falsify data in a way that Amazon, a technology company, can easily and obviously detect.

Yup. His central point is somewhat valid. I think the exception is for people who already own one and you’re getting them a second one for their kitchen or whatever.

Understanding that you don’t want to learn a new app, the native podcast app by your description is already a new app, might as well learn a better one at that point, right?

Yup - There’s really a lot of energy in the battery cells as it approaches full charge. It’s definitely good from a chemistry (and not setting things on fire) standpoint that the phone does not allow the fast charger to dump lots of current into it at that point.

PCalc for the win.

iPhone batteries are non-replaceable?

If we make the assumption that planned obsolescence through software engineering is something Apple does, then why does my 10-year old MacBook Pro run just as well with OSX 10.11 as it did with OSX 10.5?

For a microgrid installation, most of the time it is grid-tied and they are using the PV to shave demand. Sure, the PV system might not be net zero and in a true disaster scenario when the hospital is islanded it’ll be burning diesel as well. It doesn’t mean you can’t make the numbers work.

I’m no software engineer, but I could build a set of intermittent wipers out of an arduino and a 12V relay for like $12 and an hour of my time.

I’m pretty sure they hand fly it, with a G-Meter nearby to try to hold zero G. I always wonder how hard this is on the airframe, continuously loading and unloading it over and over.

I have these as well (Soundsport wireless) and was wary at first but they’ve been great for about a half a year of use so far. I also agree regarding the controls. At your neck they are easy to grab while running, and the buttons aren’t too tiny.

Would be interesting to compare sounds quality of this product to the Bose Soundsport wireless, a $150 set of earbuds that appears to be the same thing, just with a wire connecting them and for $100 less.

Another day, another common practice you should feel bad for supporting.

On the flip side, structuring ratings so that it is implied that 10/10 or 5 stars = average tells me that the company doesn’t give a shit about people who do go above average.

There’s always the M550d, which is also not available in the US.

My wife wanted the same, but fortunately we crate our dogs so it was solved with a $20 stationary webcam.

It would help the airport push for more international destinations, too. The selection of flights has improved quite a bit over the past 5 years and something like this would be a nice draw for international carriers. I bet the city will go after it.
