“Up to 10%, or more”

I like this

Fixed it for you.

So expensive, heavy, and bolted to the ground and it still gets stolen.

Quite a few places actually. Check out Alarm Relay. They work with about any UL certified alarm brand.

Because we’re turning into a nation of suckers who would rather pay for a convenience than have to deal with the responsibilities of ownership. We “Subscribe to” our dwellings (rent), we “Subscribe to” our cars (lease), we subscribe to our phones (2 year monthly payments plus monthly service, which conveniently…

Keep in mind there are ways to go a smart home without any subscriptions other than security monitoring for $8/month. It just requires more research and work to go this route. If you want easy then you get stuck in these monthly subscriptions for every little piece of it. I have full automation, multi-zone audio,…

The app can connect over your Wi-Fi network, over Bluetooth, whichever, and speak directly to the garage door.

Continuous revenue streams are all the rage these days.

“Original Owner”

The Chevy Cruze issued to me by the United States government for the purposes of carrying out my daily military duties has the capacity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

So, with the whole “people can switch devices!” reasoning... how come they don’t support Android, which is pretty much the only OS someone could switch to? That’s got to be the most blatant bullshit I’ve seen in a press release.

Of course they did. Half of the features of my X3's tech package are only enabled by something like FIVE different subscriptions. It’s called ConnectedDrive because it directly connects BMW to your checking account.

My least favorite aspect of Apple CarPlay is that if you want maps, you have to use Apple Maps. So, BMW is essentially charging $80/yr for Apple Maps. I would rather donate $80/yr to a relief fund for recovering Apple Maps users.

Occassionally you see “shaft horsepower” IMO its just an equivalency so that lay people can wrap their mind around how much power something is making or takes to move or whatever.

Torque and horsepower arguments?

Gear ratios, models, and demonstrative equipment on a YouTube video. I don’t want that stuff I want some D rate celebrity yelling, while the camera shakes around, and they go somewhere they really shouldn’t have.

Let’s see Tesla is actually an anagram for Lates. Which is what it was meant to be to warn the illuminati not to buy the car. Also you then take the l and a which gives you layoffs, which is what the Model 3 leads to.
