Encryption would protect an email in flight and prevent interception. Faxes have no such capability and are entirely susceptible to being tapped.

A good way to learn the friction point of a clutch is to find some flat ground (somewhere you can practice and not worry about traffic or pedestrians) and come to a complete stop.

Put the car into first gear and without touching the accelerator or brake, very, very slowly bring the clutch pedal up. You’ll feel the engine begin to bog down the further the pedal comes off the floor. Push the clutch back down and repeat until you feel comfortable with where the clutch is “catching”.

Once you can reliably find this spot in the clutch pedal’s travel, begin adding in some throttle to help you take off a little quicker.

I’ve taught others to drive manual and this is a good way to build the muscle memory that helps when driving on the road so you don’t have to think about it.

Intel’s slot CPU interface. Sure it cleaned up motherboard layouts but the need for more comprehensive cooling solutions that would soon follow made this a bad direction to go in.

Their target demographic doesn’t care about manuals. Their buyers either are most likely buying a status symbol and the ones who are actually looking to drive them are looking to emulate the F1 / IMSA experience where absolutely none of those cars are manuals

It’s also just flat out cheaper to remove physical buttons. Remove a handful of buttons and you might save a few dollars per vehicle once you add up the cost of each switch, connector, and associated wiring. That’s huge when you’re producing tens of even hundreds of thousands of vehicles.

They tried getting away with this crap to save a few bucks without passing on the savings but you’re seeing some pushback. VW, for instance, has stated they’ll be migrating some functions back to physical buttons soon.

That was a cool little snippet from John’s perspective. I’ll have to pick up a copy. I loved Masters of Doom and this seems to tell more of that story.
