So glad my '22 Subaru has a tune and volume knob for it's stereo, along with a manual transmission and physical climate control knobs.

That's generally done with browser cookies. But not such a phantom account. Nowhere near the same.

> an ICE car isn't anywhere close to as dangerous as an EV

I fundamentally disagree with the premise that just because something is dangerous that the owner of said property is 'disallowed' from operating on it.

I can own a house, and do all the electrical work myself. That's 120v AC for you North American households, or in rare situations 240v AC for certain appliances. I serviced an electric range just two months ago.

If you understand how something works, what the requirements are to repair it, then you should understand the caution you must take when repairing those objects.

I work on my own vehicle all the time. Yes, it is a gasoline powered vehicle. But the brakes on both an electric car and gas car must work. Something which is an easy repair and maintenance item is an object of which I know numerous drivers who would dare not touch, "because I don't want to break it". Which, is absolutely okay for those who would not want to work on it. But when someone who has the skills, knowledge, and abilities to work on a vehicle is told "no, you can't touch this brake because it requires a special RFID screwdriver to remove"

That's the crux of the argument. If something so dangerous is refrained from the owner being enabled to even inspect or maintain/repair such an object, then it's likely that said consumer item is not for consumers, and shouldn't be sold.

From the looks of it, most people I know who got their first DSLR, including myself, got used or hand-me downs from other photographers who were upgrading their setup for a newer and better body.

Which while you're not wrong - there are issues with some programs where it could unintentionally discriminate.

The easiest visual instance of this can be photographic filters - Google's Pixel 6 emphasized better photos for people of Color, where other sensors/phones may not be correctly calibrated for PoC. This is a pretty minor instance but easily visualized.

AI that does facial recognition or facial identification has in the past had issues with the faces of non-white people. It isn't a result of a 'racist' programmer. It's just from the fact that most testing and the data sets of these softwares is lacking the necessary diversity. It is part of including more people in software engineering is to combat these issues.

Their app is blasted easy to use for payments & viewing account information as well. I despise the Chase app where my auto loan sits, as it never loads correctly on my iPhone, or takes drastically longer. Whereas the Discover app and pages load without problem.

I certainly hope they would use a Firefox basis rather than another Chromium based crap-ware.

The college town near the airbase made it pretty well known that the airforce base nearby has these B-2s when I took a campus tour years ago.

Granted I like aerospace engineering as a software engineer so I grew up knowing about it ahead of time, and it's only an hour and a half drive away.

It is also in part due to the explicit tie in of the dealership system by which we buy cars. Dealerships can't go away because they have baked the law around them. Automotive manufacturers are forbidden from building their own stores. Though this is a state by state issue, and Tesla is the manufacturer skirting this rule.

Just like the 'subscription' remote start for physical key fobs from Toyota. Similar to the 'heated seat' subscription from BMW - or the annual subscription for AppleCar play to work with your headunit. Porsche charges for 'dynamic lighting plus' and 'active lane keep assist' as a subscription. Cadillac charges monthly for 'super cruise', Tesla Autopilot clone.

Yes, you can still use the car, and drive it yourself - but the problem is how anti-consumer and rent seeking the behaviors are of these companies. The problem isn't limited to Tesla.

"Needless to say, that didn't happen. None of it did. Foes of net neutrality were clearly correct that the internet didn't need the government to save it, and absent federal direction and regulation, everything is fine."

It wasn't about 'saving the Internet' explicitly, it's about 'saving the equal access to the Internet'. For many people across the country, they don't get a choice of their ISP, or if they do, it's a duo-opoly in their market. Net-Neutrality was designed to preserve the equal treatment of data, and the hindrance of certain providers.

Arguably, you can see how the Internet has become more entrenched with the biggest players taking on more 'space' among the masses.

What's even funnier is that we actually used to have Postal Banking back in the 20th century.

But like other things during the 'Regeanomics era', it was cut, along with forcing the USPS to pay pensions 10 years in advance. The context does help to explain the reason why our USPS Grumman vans are well over their service life, and no where near retirement yet.

I cannot speak on Android Auto specifically and what the requirements are currently (though I intend on migrating to an Android device in the near future) my '22 Subaru only allows Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to work via the cable, as you can link the phone over Bluetooth to the 'generic phone' controls, but not the phone-specific-display controls.

Though I haven't had issues in regards to the headunit failing just yet - I've had the phone lock up a few times, but I think that is in part due to the age of my iPhone (6s) and the lack of processing power/ram.

> Are the makers of level 3 systems legally liable when the vehicle in level-3 hits another car.

Currently, as how the NHTSA regulates vehicles, the driver is liable for any accident that their vehicle causes. Your car should always be at your control, and you should be the one responsible for it's actions. Not saying this is right or wrong, but that's how the government views driving.

While you're not wrong about the complaint for the price and the age of the device.

The iPhone 6s is still receiving update, though it may not be long for this world, the iPhone 7 and 8 are still one and two years newer than said 6s - as such would likely receive updates a year and two years additional. That would put the iPhone 8 End-of-Life at 2024. That's 2 years out, and the 6s hasn't even finished receiving updates, so closer to 3 years out.

Physical cables my friend. Cables.

Joking aside, I've stopped using bluetooth in any vehicle that is not mine (actually using a rental this moment since my car is being worked on right now). Pretty much all rental cars have been built in the past 3 years, and for the most part they all have a USB for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. So much easier to just use a cable and not hope the wireless connection stays working.

Though the cable itself isn't reliable sometimes and will disconnect itself/pause audio upon reconnection. Maybe good ol' FM and CDs are the way to go.

Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective, the only method to acquire iPadOS is to use an iPad - so the designation seems fitting.

Line the clamshell with velvet or linen.

My iPhone 6s runs Teams just fine. Granted notifications continue to display on my phone, even when I'm on the desktop or using Teams directly - but nonetheless it still works when I need it to (on iOS, can't say the same for the Android fellows rn)

They're as true as the flat earth. Show me the curve.

Even if they don't cover the instrument cluster or the pseudo cluster, the screen is the main interface for the driver. Even though the passenger may interact with the display, the mandatory functions of the car and even required secondary functions are built into the display and thus it would result in a primary usecase for the driver.

Drivers don't need more distracting nonsense in their main line-of-sight.

My main response was towards the 3 & Y, but the S & X still use the center display for secondary functions with the driver.

My personal issue with this idea is that cars - presently, are driven by humans, and while we can look to the future, the present necessitates that we design by these standards.

Cars are methods of transportation (and even though I'm a car enthusiast, who enjoys driving) they should be driver focused. The center screen in a Tesla is where _all_ the information is available for the driver. There are no secondary gauges or other driver-specific controls or displays. The car, presently, should be oriented for the driver to pay the most attention to the vehicle, the road, and their surroundings.

If there's a display behind the driver, or solely on the passenger side of the vehicle out of sight and reach of the driver, then it can be presumed to operate for the passengers of the vehicle.

Yet I've found video lectures and documentaries enlightening as well as a method to teach me something I did not know.

I'd also think that fiction novels are more entertaining than 'educational'.

Me personally would rather have the site pop-up with an option to 'Do not track' easily available to me. If I can't find the 'do not track' option, I just leave the site.

Not parent, but I've been using the mobile web variant for a while and have had no issues with my account being locked. In the past I have used the desktop browser on rare occasions, but a majority of the account activities are done through the WebKit Firefox (iOS).

I'm curious as to if Cuba still uses leaded gasoline, as quite a few years ago I spent a night in Havana during a cruise and some sight-seeing around the old city.

I knew that the exhaust of vehicles smelled different from the U.S., or even busy cities in the U.S.

Only once have I physically encountered leaded solder, and immediately wrapped it up with the lead-acid batteries I had to take to hazardous waste in my city.

I always try to reduce the exposure I have for myself if at all possible. My family's house was built in the 80's and we've ensured that there's no leaded paint on the house or water pipes on the property.

I'm curious as to the effects of running with a Norwegian language with security. Any chance at enlightenment?

The issue with what's a 'computer' we could say is a general computing device.

General computing devices enable you to install software freely and use it however you'd deem fit. Desktop computers are general computers. So are laptops. And for the vast majority of people, an iPhone or Android device are general computing devices. However, the Android device allows the user to actually do 'general' things like write code and develop software on itself. While the 'i' device doesn't.

The issue is that the 'i' device is often sold as a 'general computing' device like all other smartphones and computers.

The issue with the 'Tesla' computer is that it isn't a general computer. The purpose of the device is solely to control and manage the vehicle.
