Not true for most alarm systems. If the car is locked, then any opening without the key fob unlock button will trigger the alarm in my experience.

Like the other poster said, your anecdote says more about the doctor than the average user. TrueNAS documentation isn't the worst by any means, but it has far too many extremely low level controls accessible. It would be overwhelming t

TrueNAS isn’t nearly friendly enough for the average user. HexOS may fit that bill, although it seems rather immature. It runs on top of TrueNAS.

Hm, I looked up how much a Toyota mirai filter is and they’re quite expensive. $270 it looks like from a 3rd party? It’s every 36k miles though. Not every year/12k like a normal air filters.

Is that a real problem here? Air filters on ICE cars are easy and not that frequent. You need cabin air filters regardless for passengers, so changing those at the same time isn’t that much different. Filters are cheap unless fuel cell ones

Someone who has a blood cholesterol level in excess of 1000 should have been on heavy dose statins years and years ago. Plenty of people can eat all sorts of diets and not have blood serum cholesterol levels like that.

I also think any form of forced work in the US prison system is pretty awful, but don’t try to equivocate Chinese “reeducation” camps with regular prison. Not anywhere close to the same thing.

Pretty sure the ones in most EVs today work fine at -10C, but they may lose some efficiency. The thing is, there's already mechanisms in some cars to generate waste heat specifically for this purpose. Tesla's already have the abil

You might want to double-check your figures. Ghiradelli claims their dark chocolate has 20mg per oz and their milk chocolate has 6 mg per ounce. [1] That would mean eating a standard 3.5oz/100g chocolate bar would have 70mg of caffeine

Kind of. If you look at the specs of the tensor chips they appear to essentially copy exactly what Qualcomm is doing. They use off the shelf ARM reference design cores packaged together the same way QC does. They’re also about a year behind
