The ELM327 is just a real-time data transmitter. You plug it in, and when it works (I often have to unplug it and plug it back in if I’ve turned the car off since the last time I connected Torque...though I don’t know if that’s a device issue or an app issue) it sends your phone the data that’s sent over the OBD-II…

8. Amazon sometimes just likes to use boxes the size of my Volkswagon to ship me a single pen.

I can’t wrap my head around the logic in which a company buys a bunch of these upgraded card readers, only to leave the one necessary feature that prompted them to buy them turned off.

They what?! How did I miss this?! Be right back, going to go buy a phone.

My Moto X was my favorite phone of all time. I would go back in a heartbeat if I hadn’t already acquired such a need for external storage. A Moto X with external storage would be the absolute perfect phone for me.

Four of those points are easily overcome. It’s the vandalism that is the issue. I would put money on it that this would be the new thing for opportunist thieves. Instead of stealing boxes from off your front porch, they just vandalize/steal the robot, and then sell it and its contents for parts.

I LOVE broken links in my Start Menu!!!

Compass, yes. GPS, no. It also shouldn’t permanently affect the compass, but it could cause erroneous readings while using the mount. If you require 100% accurate compass readings while you’re driving, this might not be a good mount to get. But your phone’s navigation apps have other ways of determining direction as…

And the coach deferred to the family’s judgment, who truly were in a position to make that decision.

Foiled again! Sigh...Apple Pay it is then.

So...how big is it, besides “larger than [45.17 square miles]”? I don’t see those numbers in the linked article either.

We should just go back to trading cattle. Ultimate security! No one can crack my cows’ encryption!

Why is there a reason to think He shouldn’t?

Driving is my alone time, when I get to ponder life, the universe, and everything. Commutes don’t HAVE to be soul-crushing

You guys are making me poor.

The razor half goes in your checked bag, but the electric half goes in your carry-on. Enjoy putting it back together!

Is it really that difficult to turn the car off and on again using the key?
