I wonder if they’ll make a silicone Playstation Move, with rumble motor...asking for a friend.
Whenever stuff like this happens, the pessimist in me always assumes that they didn’t do this as a “bite off your nose to spite your face” move, rather, they did it so that everyone doesn’t see what kind of data they’ve actually been collecting on us. They’re not paying cellular charges and equipment on every single…
That buying a car is not a one time purchase. There is regular maintenance that NEEDS to be done, ON TIME! It’s MUCH cheaper to do that maintenance than it is to fix the issues caused by not doing it, if it’s even fixable! There would be a lot more usable, good-condition (high mileage, yes, but the stigma of that…
If anything, this comment thread has uncovered how different people’s bodies deal with cold. In cold weather I have the HVAC set to 82° with heated seat and steering wheel turned on for my entire drive. Before I had a car with heated steering wheel, my hands would be cold no matter how much hot air was blowing on…
Full glass roof or any glass on the roof that doesn’t at least open.
Love my backup camera. More visibility is always better. It allows me to back up further than I felt comfortable doing before and if I pull through a parking spot, throwing it into reverse lets me see if I pulled through too far or not enough!
I will never buy another car without a heated steering wheel and seats. I run cold and those features were life changing. October to May, my seat and wheel are on for my entire drive, every day!
The four years probation is even more of a joke than the nine months in juvi. Rich people on probation is the same as not being on it at all. For everyone else, being on probation or even just having been in prison, is a giant target on their backs for the cops. Are there so many repeat offenders because people can’t…
That plus 3 pedals PLEASE!!!
It’s even worse than that. White people came to the Americas, took their land, completely ignoring thousands of years of occupancy, traditions, and religion, and then proceeded to profit off of that land. They also slaughtered thousands of people and forced the survivors to live on postage-stamp sized parcels of land,…
This is a very interesting situation. The Biden administration could sign an executive order to block the export of magnesium and impose a price ceiling on it. This would keep a lot of American jobs going until global production ramped back up. This is also limiting the free market, pissing off a lot of millionaire…
Hopefully this strike puts enough of a dent in their market share that they have to abandon their horrible anti-right to repair practices. I’m sure it won’t, though.
I now want to know how much data they’re keeping on each user. If encoded properly, every permutation of progress, gear, items, etc., should be storable in a hex string several kilobytes long.
With AI being better than human drivers like 90% of the time and falls-on-its-face stupid that other 10% of the time, at what point do we stop trying to make the cars smarter and start tweaking the roads to be easier for the cars? It seems silly to build a super-computer into every car to deal with a handful of simple…
I really how EV manufacturers have already figured out that these “futuristic” sound effects all sound stupid and will age poorly. Artificial tires-on-pavement sounds are all the heads-up any needs.
Well, US does allow amber rear turn signals, It’s just a shame that they also allow red, so most cars here, even ones from Europe, just use red in the back. OLED would be a bad choice for true display-like taillights anyway. Blue organics have a MUCH shorter life than red and green. Also, burn in. Audi uses pure red…
No, Audi just replaces single color LEDs with single color OLED panels. Someone’s bound to go a step further and do a full color matrix version (RGB, WRGB, PenTile, whatever).
Yup. In RI in 2008, 93 was about $4.30. Adjusted for inflation, that’s $5.48!!! I just paid $3.29 for 93.
