scops

I don't typically bother with the dryer on mine. Usually it's just the water, one wipe to tidy up, then on with my day

Ooh, or the ones with Jalapeno slices in them. Yum

I think the issue is that I know where all the old Superchargers are around me and just assumed they would work. I bought my Ioniq used and they only gave me 20% when I rolled off the lot, so when the first couple chargers I tried didn't work, I had some range anxiety that I hadn't experienced in a long time after 7 years of EV ownership.

Luckily I found a level 3 CCS1 charger and got enough to get me home. Back to overnight level 2 charging and daily driving is a breeze again.

I've seen a lot of Sheetz' with EV charging on the East Coast. Decent coffee and Made To Order food. That's worked pretty well.

It will be interesting to see how well it holds up now that I've traded my Tesla in for an Ioniq5. I didn't realize that a lot of Superchargers don't actually support non-Teslas, even with a NACS to CCS1 adapter.

Yes, THAT Elian Gonzalez.

Steam could, but it would be an extremely dangerous decision. One of their biggest competitive advantages is they they break users out of the console generation gaps.

Why buying a Steam Deck with all my old games (to say nothing of emulators) was more appealing than a Switch 2.

Yeah, I had an old boss who was diagnosed with it while he was still in college. Slim, healthy, even on a full night's sleep he'd been falling asleep in class. The common risk factors aren't the ONLY risk factors

And they're gonna pay her how many millions to "right the ship" but that's apparently not a full-time job so she can moonlight for a government gig?

Teslas hang a significant amount of their MCU functionality on the built-in SIM. Assuming the system doesn't glitch out completely, you're going to be staring at an arrow on a big gray box in the middle of a big tablet screen while it fails to load map data. They explicitly did not build Android Auto or Apple CarPlay into their vehicles because they wanted you to drive everything from the MCU itself. It would occasionally pop up reminders at me when I switched to Bluetooth Audio because I was using it to stream an app that was already native to the car (Audible kept glitching out and losing my place when I resumed on different devices).

I'm sure there are other auto makers that are happy to follow suit. I just switched from a Model 3 to a Hyundai Ioniq5 and it feels like much of the user interface was locked down until I subscribed to BlueLink.

I'm starting to get way more interested in the concept of a super basic, modular vehicle with only doodads you build onto it attached. I hope the Slate truck can make good on what it's promised so far.

Emergency call system

So this is mandating SIMs and tracking in cars? Don't love that. I'm sure the manufacturers will ensure that the infotainment system will be mostly useless if you go in and disable the tracker

I feel bad for the studios that are facing uncertainty in this situation, but I'm selfishly relieved. This is the only way I'm going to get to play State of Decay 3 and the new Senua game, if they can secure a publisher and complete development. There is zero chance I will buy another Xbox unless there's a colossal restructure of the market in the next generation, and there's no way I'm going back to Windows.

I had to toss my OnePlus 9 because of this. The cell radio stopped working and the only way to revert the upgrade was to factory reset. My phone is used for two-factor authentication for work, so I can't be having downtime because I'm busy doing QA for your shitty phone.
