Looking at the way the "frame" is built on these, I'm not sure it would fare well in a crash with even a Fiat 500. It appears to have zero crash safety.

What specific functionality was this mandatory firmware update meant to address? I do not see that in the article, or your response. A mandatory update implies a critical fix, it would be helpful to understand what warranted this update in

IMO you can read them in pretty much any order and get 90% of it. Most of them were self-contained. In same cases there are occasional characters, like Susie, and Calvin's perspective of her changes over time, but you can read any stri

On this general topic, I'll mention the Milwaukee Packout system. I've been converting most of my storage containers and portable items to Packout. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Storage-Solutions&#x2F

I thought that might be the case which is why I tried a beach pic. Might have only been QA'd with one specific beach.

Because almost nobody offers refunds once the payment goes through, you can cancel immediately but retain access through whatever the subscription period is (usually 1 month).

I tried with a moderately complex image [0] and it failed to properly remove anything. Edit: saw matsemann's comment - I was using Firefox, where selecting areas and clicking remove did nothing. Tried Chrome and got the same result of

Vested shares are not special in and of themselves. However employees often have blackout periods for any kind of stock they hold - ESPP, RSU, Options, etc. In many cases even stock you purchased separately with your own after-tax money can

You probably would. At that price point they are targeting boats that are going to have multiple gensets, and be carrying 1,000+ gallons of fuel. The additional load of the Starlink, relative to the chillers, water makers, and other onboard

The list seems to be Australia-centric. In the US Ford still owns the Lincoln brand as well.

That is a good system if you spend most of your time in the same general area/climate. I live in a warm climate and have managed to transition to doing very little business travel anymore. But when I go someplace where it's too co

From a few cases I have seen, it is partly due to the very long service life. New units are substantially different from older ones, particularly in all the bits of it that you do not see as a pedestrian. Often times the retrofit involves a

Of course, but the digital calipers I have bought are usually packaged in a way that would survive most shipping, even if dropped. That is much different than dropping them on a concrete shop floor.

I don’t buy that excuse. If they cannot adequately protect against these scenarios they really should not be trying to collect and monetize so much granular user data. Clearly the organization is incapable of operating what they have built.

For some of these, like the $80/6" Shars caliper that you can get from Amazon in 24 hours (most of the time), it's not even worth dealing with recalibration. If you no longer trust it, get a new one.

Facebook/Meta has how many thousands of general engineers, AI specialists, and massive amounts of hardware at their disposal, and they can't solve this in a more practical way? Pushing their problems down to the user in this way f

I get what you are saying, but these groups effectively operate as a DDoS attack against content they do not like. Content which is not promoting or showing anything "bad", it just violates their beliefs. Those groups are, and wou

Agreed. Same goes for online streaming content. I'll pay up to $50/mo in total for media subscriptions (eg: Netflix). I won't pay $19.99 for 8 individual services that each have 1 or 2 things worth watching and then a bunch
