Yes but no. If your front headlights are foggy and you struggled to see, I could definitely see that being more valuable.

I need to know if I'm gonna be late to work. Without knowing, it will just stress me more.

One can only hope. But it seems right now they can't even keep cars in stock.

But you could use something like a push lawn mower's grip together to engage the motor design, and push hard on that safety feature to make people aware of what needs to be bypassed to make it more dangerous.

Something tells me they have some overly complex method to prevent it driving off on its own. When all it needs is a handle with a button that is durable enough to not jam closed.

Reply to comment by canabus420 in Experts warn smart toys for children could be collecting user data that might be sold by AmethystOrator
There's the issue where platforms need to make money to run. And people want to pay as little as possible for a product. So the things that sell best are the things that are being sold for the cheapest, but the issue with that is that often. These are things that are abusing your privacy. And it becomes so uniform now that everything does it. And no one really bats an eye. It's hard thinking of way to stop this, living in a country where the people making the money are also making the rules.

I love loud buzzing noises in the sky, that will definitely never collide with birds or other things in the air.

The issue is you're not allowed to fly anywhere near airports or military bases. So that creates a lot of problems for this kind of program.

How? Gas prices are also soaring. Is this because it's written around Europe? It has a paywall so I could only read a few paragraphs.

That is not correct. I didn't down vote you though. The heads on a drive move in and out along the disk. But not up and down. Even today hard drives are in use and it's more a concern of stopping it mid write than anything else.

The fact that symmetrical internet speeds are rare, shows that oue architecture is ancient. I'm pretty sure cable modems have been supporting it for 8 plus years now. In the era of working from home, it should be a priority.

Reply to comment by PM_ur_Rump in Alaska Airlines flight delayed after 2 pilots have 'professional disagreement', refuse to fly together by OyVeyzMeir
This!!! The pilot and co-pilot have to work together and catch each other if they make a mistake. A hostile environment could lead to situations where they don't listen to each other and larger issues happen. This is a big cause of plane crashes. Not saying they would likely crash. But it's an added risk for no good reason.

I'm hesitant because there are gaming bugs like every 4 months on it. Currently Nvidia GPUs can just run at 100% for no reason.

That's cool. But most people feel that driving to places like work or groceries, would be a fairly boring task. I own a motorcycle to enjoy driving. But other cars, speed limits, and traffic all can make things a lot less fun.

Reply to comment by eldercitizen in ELI5: How are aerodynamics different between EVs and combustion engine cars by Auguste-67
Yes you can break with your engine. But I'm fairly certain you want to avoid that as you don't want to wear out your trans any faster than normal. Motors work in reverse when breaking and don't wear out as fast as breaking with your engine.

You don't need increased cooling in brakes unless you're racing and using them constantly at high speeds.

While the radiator is true. Evs also have brakes. They just have 2 sets. Motors and brakes.

Yeah it's kind of funny that he said that. Because I also have no bus routes near me. Because I live in America, home of not public transportation.
I do have a bus stop, but in the 5 years I've lived here it has never been in service.

In the us the entire older generation would need to die or leave office before that is even considered. Honestly I think it would require a generation to grow up with it. As most young people don't trust it

Yes, but most people aren't that familiar with cars. So someone may call the headlight just a light bulb.
