Just what we need, every sleazebag landlord who owns 3 apartments and thinks he's hot shit holding his ability to fuck your credit up over your head.

You're responsible for what your car does period. Using anything to help you drive does not absolve you of your responsibility to operate your vehicle in a safe manner.

Any autopilot/self driving/driver assistance system with a couple of very narrow exceptions(waymo etc..) is only an assistant and does not remove your responsibility to operate your vehicle safely.

I also have the 3x for my Ioniq 5.

Steering is about 25% better than HDA when solely based on lined lanes, but the 3X is able to adapt to situations that the LKA/HDA would just disengage (such as passing through an intersection) or a random car parked on the side of the road.

I routinely use it even on NYC streets and grass parking lots. It's about 80% accurate in avoiding unexpected cars and larger obstacles or following simply a "laid down" grass trail from a previous car in a grass lot or field.

I did buy it expecting results like in the "Taco bell" video -- and was disappointed under those expectations at first, but after a reality check I still decided to keep it and have easily driven 40,000 miles with it since.

That's too stressful

Prisoners have better accommodations!

It used to be possible in most areas to raise a family and kids on a single middle-class income. So that left one person free to handle domestic tasks instead of them being split between two people in the spare time they have after the kids are all in bed.

It still may be possible now but that will require reducing your standard of living to what was common then. Think no stone counter-tops. Not driving a 0-3 year old car with $10,000 just in electronics. Having linoleum floors instead of high-end tile. Eating Hamburger Helper, spaghetti, not ordering door dash 5x a week. Resisting the constant stream of social media, influencers, advertisements that are telling you everyone else lives better than you and making you feel bad about it, which causes you to spend money on things you don't need but raise the aesthetic of your life and make you feel like you're living better.

I'd bet that if someone was happy to live in the standard of living that was 20-30 years ago, it could still be done on a single middle class income which would allow for the leisure time required to spend 6.5hrs+ with friends [citation needed]

the victim of domestic violence sticking it out doesn't help anyone else.

Except maybe the children -- which I could see there are some situations where not sticking it out could be worse for everyone.

People look at domestic violence victims and always say "well why didn't they just leave?" as if leaving is the perfect solution -- but it rarely is. There are other factors. Income. Children.

If there were a perfect societal safety net for these people, then maybe "just leave" is always the best solution. But there is not, and "just leave" often doesn't quite work out.

If more people at the company had followed your example...would it have turned out differently? Seems like you had the right idea just nobody else cared enough to join you

Protecting your family is why you should fight.

yea that seems to be a common theme with people. Nothing is bigger than them or more important than their own personal mental health.

I can't take it myself so I'm just going to roll over and not stand for any principle or fight for any cause because that's just too much for me to handle.

And besides you're just one person so what difference is it going to make anyways.

Same thing why people don't vote. It's not like their one vote will make a difference.

Multiply that times 10 million people and you get what we have.

There's tons of people that don't follow the boss's orders to a T and don't resign and don't get fired. And they would be much less effective at enacting their boss's agenda than someone who "just followed orders"

Comply but leak the truth to the media.

Comply in a maximally obstructive way.

Comply just enough to not get fired but not as much as someone who may be more inclined to please their boss.

Enlist other opposition and find ways to multiply your obstructive compliance into other departments.

There's tons of "how-to" guides on how to maliciously comply with work demands without getting fired.

One thing I don't understand is people resigning on principles.

If something bad is happening to an organization that I hold a significant amount of clout and power in, I'm not just going to leave and hand the reigns to someone on 'their side' -- I'm going to stay and fight and try to make whatever impact I can.

So many people are just leaving...instead of fighting. Which seems like it's going to have the effect of just accelerating the demise of the organization they claim to love so much.

yea I tried the Viture and the headtracking was nowhere near where it needed to be. I really liked everything else about the Viture Pros. They were lighter than the Xreal ones, generated less heat, and had individual diopter adjustments on each lense.

Xreal One however has rock-solid head tracking. It does drift occasionally but it's very tolerable. I returned the Viture Pro and ketp the Xreal one.

I've been doing this a few months now with an xreal one and minisforum um790.

Same ability to power via usb-C and have other ports available.

It's worked very well, the 1920x1080 resoultion of the glasses is pretty clear but I find "anchoring" the screen to be most usable because the edges do get a little blurry, but with the screen anchored you can just "look around" a little to bring them into focus.

The biggest drawback is the resolution. While still very sharp and clear, it's tough going from a framework laptop 2256x1504 to 1920x1080.

I'm just used to everything being a little smaller and being able to fit more info into my FoV vs having to look around a "larger" screen for it.

There will be no lesson learned. It will be blamed on the other side and the story will be bought hook line and sinker

"If the fed won't lower the interest rate I'll tank the economy until they do!"

Google Earth Pro has a "historical image" slider to go back to previous versions of an area

Large parts of the NE corridor train line(DC to NY and New Haven to Boston) still operates at 25hz and has its own power system and generators because of it.

It's PWM dimming. I see it most on Cadillac SUVs. Drives me nuts too.

They could design it not to be that low of a frequency but apparently someone thought that 40-50hz was imperceptible to humans and went with it

based on the article I think this is old news just now being reported

Most "comes-with-the-car" USA level 1 chargers are actually capable of accepting 240v so operating as a ~3kw level 2 charger if you're okay with hacking a different plug on to it (or using an adapter which may be controversial...)

I've confirmed this first-hand with several different models.

yes, almost certainly Europe. You can see it's a J3068 connector on the end of the cable. J3068 is basically a 3-phase version of J1772 and is standard for Europe.

The crimped ferrules on the wires is also much more common in Europe vs USA

That's an entirely different animal.

But that's not what the linked article is about.

There's nothing magical about a level 2 charger.

It's a smart relay with a cable and industry-standard connector attached.

That's it.

I would argue that daytime running lights is the cause of many cars driving without taillights. In the US, DRL are only forward-facing. Nothing rear-facing is illuminated.

Drivers that have switched their headlights to the off position, the DRLs are "bright enough" to drive and not notice your headlights are off.

I see them very often, and for some reason a large portion of them are Hyundai. Maybe because the dash light, button backlights are independent of the headlights, so there's no real indication inside that your lights are not on, except the switch position.

The problem with this approach is that groups that have historically been discriminated against aren't starting from a level playing field. Poverty spans generations and escape from it for those discriminated against is the exception not the rule.

High income families generally create high income progeny, the wealth and privilege is transferred across generations.

Low income families generally create low income progeny. This curse is transferred across generations.

Historical discrimination has artificially disadvantaged large swaths of minorities, creating the income and privilege gap that continues through generations of that population.

DEI is an attempt to reset the playing field so that we can become better as a population, not as individuals.

You can say yea but look at Beyonce or look at Obama. They aren't poor.

But they're also the exception.

There are individual exceptions to all. Not every discriminated person was set back, and not every non-discriminated person is wealthy. But as a matter of a whole, the patterns are clearly visible and the cause is obvious.

The generational wealth curse applies to all races and cultures, but the actions of our predecessors(and still somewhat today) artificially held back the predecessors of the current generations that DEI policy targets.

As a whole, they are unfairly disadvantaged vs a culture that wasn't historically discriminated against.

Part of an apology is a genuine attempt to right your wrongs, make the person you wronged whole again. When that wrong affects generations of people, your debt is owed not only to the original wronged generation, but their unfairly disadvantaged progeny who started life in a place just a little bit harder.

They may not have landed where they initially intended to

There were tons things they did right. And there's plenty that was done wrong in my Ioniq 5. It's been in the shop twice in 60k miles, which is 2x more in half the miles that my previous vehicle(Chevy Volt) was.

It seems google maps is what backs their nav system, which means it's the only factory-installed nav system that can even come close to competing with google/waze/apple maps.

The touch ui layout seemed to be pretty well thought out, so it's probably about as good as a touch ui can be for vehicle control.

It seems with all the raving over FSD that whatever system operates FSD is entirely separate than the system that operates autosteer, because autosteer tried to kill me(swerve right, into the exit/divider/barrier) at just about every exit I passed.

Maybe it was something with the one I rented. The "slight turning force" was about 2 hairs away from "so much turning force that it disengages", and enough for a noticeable swerve in the vehicle path.

This one had a full FSD computer, and the depicted situational awareness on the screen was pretty neat with it classifying vehicles, pedestrians, construction cones, etc... but FSD was not enabled on the one I rented and was not able to be enabled since it was a rental.
