The first time I ever rode in a Model 3, I accidentally used the mechanical door handle instead of the electronic one. It’s exactly where a normal door handle is. The driver said it happens all the time.

The brakes in a Tesla are move powerful than the motors. If the guy in China had actually been hitting the brakes, the car could have never reached 150kmh. The chance of a simultaneous failure of the mechanical brakes, the electrical interlocks and the drive software is FAR less likely than the chance the driver was pushing the wrong peddle.

Meant “Rostered Time Off”. They’re used interchangeably here.

So what you’re saying is that violence in the US should be compared to Afghanistan and Syria? Ok, I can agree with that.

That list proves my point - it’s mostly shootings. You have to go back to 2017 to find a vehicle/bombing attack in a western nation.

Note for non-Americans: “RTO” here means “Return To Office”. (Not Rostered Day Off)

This post is a perfect example of alienating people who are almost entirely progressive, because they don’t perfectly toe the left line.

Is the rush you feel from being righteous online really worth the millions of votes it costs the progressive cause?

Everything you’ve said is true. But it was all true in 70s as well. Todays young people aren’t going to remain as progressive - every generation becomes more conservative over time. Hell, baby boomers were hippies. That Karen who votes for Trump and calls the HOA when you forget to take your bins in on time - there’s a good chance she was burning her bra for equal pay when she was in college.

The far-left purity test alienates many mostly-left people.

You can be pro-choice, pro-women, all for supporting the poor, gay rights and trans rights - but if you dare suggest that maybe trans women shouldn’t be competing against born women in top-level sports, then the vocal left brand you as a transphobic TERF whose opinion isn’t even worth listening to. They would rather fight you over the 2% of things you disagree on, than embrace you for the 98% of values you have in common.

The vocal left want diversity in color, gender and sexuality - but they will not tolerate any diversity in thought or opinion.

The Italian right-wing party is fairly similar to the American left-wing party.

Shrinking? They increased their seats in the house last election, and now control >50%.

Where are all these mass bombings and vehicular murders in other Countries then? You average multiple mass shootings per week in the US, while the events in other countries typically happen less than once a year.

Finally! I’ve been wanting an upgrade, but if I want anything between a 7600 and a 7900, I have to buy last-gen tech. If the 7700 is well priced and actually available it should be a winner.

Being worried about CCP controlled apps is a sensible concern. Banning a single app (because Mark Zuckerberg is upset that it’s stealing his customers) is not a helpful solution.

You know the US government is paying TSMC hundreds of millions of dollars to open plants in the US, right?

Before the iOS overhaul, you went Settings>Bluetooth>Toggle to turn off BT. That still works like it did before. But what most people do now is just swipe from the top-right and tap the shortcut.

As someone who works with small electronics, Phillips is NOT perfectly fine at small sizes. Below a PH1, the torque required to unscrew a long thread and the torque required to cam-out and strip the head get very close together.

Just like with the appliances where some vendors had their shops ready way before regulation we already have some phone vendors prepare for that - like Nokia selling some spares via ifixit. So if apple decides to play stupid games it’ll be up against vendors that’ll be completely fine pushing regulation through quickly as hurting apple will only benefit them.

You mean like Apple’s Self Service Repair, which has been available for a few years now?…

B and H photography in New York? With their sales, I’ve found it cheaper to order from the other side of the world than to buy locally.
