You’re right, if you automatically put it away, you won’t notice it is gone. It has to be enough to make an impact though. I put away $25/month and forgot about it. Every now and then I’d see that savings account and realize that money was useless. Years of savings wasn’t even enough for a month’s rent.
If you’re…

It just looked so out of place and dated.

agreed. Benz’s of that era have just slightly less stylish than an 80's Volvo . The interior design is terrible. Why do they have a number pad? Is someone going to manually dial a phone number? I drove 1000+ miles in a c240 and it was the least comfortable car I’ve ever driven/ridden in.

It was hyped up. That’s why 40 million people watched.

Can chromecast turn the device on? My home theater receiver draws something like 200 watts when it’s turned on (even not making any noise). Sonos draws like <10 watts. I’d rather use a Sonos Play:Amp than a home theater receiver. The only issue is that it doesn’t work in reverse. The play:amp isn’t good as TV…

That Jeep is TINY compared to a 26' enclosed trailer. and weights half as much.

we race very heavy match box cars. 26" is plenty of space. :)

wow. We use a first gen raptor to pull a 26" box trailer with a TON of tools and a 3000+lb race car. It gets about 8-9MPG. I’m amazed the newer raptor with a few thousand pounds less wight doesn’t do any better.

Can you have more than one of these? I have one setup so that “alexa, turn on the TV” turns on the TV. I would like my other alexa to control a differnet TV. Is alexa smart enough to assign the same command to be Echo specific? so it controls different things based on the alexa that heard the command.

I just say, “alexa, turn on the tv”, and my home theater setup turns everything on to the TV. I can also say, “alexa, turn on netflix” and it’ll boot everything up into the netflix app on my tv.

This is hilarious. I kept seeing ads for Plastic on Facebook and people voicing their concerns. Plastic reps kept saying, no no! we’re not Coin! We’re doing well! We’re going to ship soon!

I wonder if people are buying them up and keeping them in warehouses, just waiting for the 25 year restrictions to expire. Their prices will skyrocket once we can pull them into the US.

Right! I setup my SmartThings to monitor and open/close my garage door. I use it all the time.
Come home once and realize you’re garage door was open all day? Yeah, you’ll want to get something to monitor it real quick.

I get all my glassware from bar trivia and gift boxes at the liquor store. I have a set of these that came with a bottle of knob creek. I like them a lot, but I’ll continue to get my glasses for free.

Also very lucky that he wasn’t hit. Did you see the video from a few weeks ago where something similar happened and one car took out the other and sent them both into the wall?

Ah. Good. The letter from BMW NA made it sound like there was on button to turn off all systems. “The Driver Aids Button also shuts down all the other driver aids that the car may be equipped with”

Sill not great that they reset. It’s VERY easy to forget what needs to be turned on and off each time you go on track.…

oh Adam. you’re next on my list of stupid Gizmodo writers. I still remember Eric Limer. Why do I remember that guy? because when I read something that was incredibly dumb and poorly researched, it was usually written by him.

What concerned me, is that this the way they say to turn it off, sounds like it will disable ALL drivers aids. Does that disable stability control too?

I can’t put wood in my dishwasher though. Plastic does just fine. So claiming they are both easy to clean is totally wrong.

I dunno. It’s brand new. It probably has some setting for ultra-heat or anti-bacteria mode. I’ll have to check it out. I haven’t gotten sick yet doing it :P
