Isn’t GPS neccessary for the automatic emergency call when the car is in an accident?

That's true: diesel engines generally have higher mpg and lower CO2 emissions than gasoline. Problem is they emit higher levels of nitrogen oxide (ask Volkswagen) which beside being a greenhouse gas also poisons the environment. Presum

I don't know, the geometry simplification and low resolution of textures make it painfully clear the games were intended to be rendered on SD TV's. The crowd texture in the Mario Kart circuit levels looks really ugly to me. Some o

Just looked it up and you're right. The polyphony drops to 2 notes when using the 'auto accompaniment' function though.

I've got an SK-1 and it is indeed 2-note polyphonic.

People who build 3d printers don't design the microcontroller used to actually drive te thing. It's magic with a DIY layer on top. Right to repair may help in keep costs and waste down by making swapping highly integrated parts ea

Not sleeping with a plugged in Ethernet adapter seems to be a problem with certain third-party adapters. I'm using an old Wii ethernet adapter which works fine.

Because hydrogen has to be pumped at 700 bar there's a delay when the pump buffer has to be recompressed. This will happen after 1 or 2 cars have filled up, the third will have to wait for 20-30 minutes. Not that different from chargin

Is it the original from Huy Fong though? In the Netherlands there are a few different variants of the sauce for sale, but the original is only sold through smaller shops. I like this one, packaging looks almost the same: https://

Depends on how you interpret 'fixing your vehicle'. It will take just one case where someone 'fixed' their automatic braking system and runs over a kid or something to get this kind of 'right' repealed.

The App Store profits and user privacy are two different issues. It's not all doublespeak: Since an i-device is restricted to Apple's app store it's Apple who can make the call what kind of app behaviour is permitted. They co

Only Nintendo knows, but since there's a global chip shortage and not really a higher-specced revision of the Switch CPU/GPU what do you expect from a Switch pro? The trailer did not seem too different from the first Breath of the

You had me at LibreOffice. It struggles to render a blank page on a mac (something to do with retina resolution which is default since 2012). I've tried to use it on all supported operating systems, but everywhere it's a slow star

Since you're allowed to drive in the snow when you have a driver's license it should be part of the training. You can get skid training courses where a slippery road is 'simulated' on a wet plate which should be possible

Because about 80% of all drivers consider themselves above-average I expect that bar to be placed unrealistically high.

Galeon was also the only usable Linux browser having a native look on Gnome (Epiphany was the other one, but I remember it having more difficulty with a lot of sites). It embedded the Mozilla engine (which was a supported use case back then

The real problem is the OS is fundamentally compromised and your data is at risk of leaking. If you work with data covered by the GDPR that's a no go. Also, I'd not risk logging into my banks website on such an OS.

For popular formats that would be possible, but there are a lot of binary only formats that are completely impossible to parse these days. You're free to copy it but the bits are essentially useless. Try to load a current ML model 20 y

File formats like DOCX or PSD (fitting extension) are almost impossible to parse 100% correct and render without the (hired) software used to create them. While you may be able to copy your files, without the software they are quite useless

The reason MIDI is a success is the actual data is quite simple. It's just a stream of keypress and numeric control updates. And there's no incentive for a synthesizer manufacturer to block access to incoming or outgoing data. Whe

You're asked to fill in a questionnaire when entering the US as a foreigner. I think lying at the 'did you visit...' questions would be grounds for the US to declare you 'persona non grata', so it's not a risk

Not giving a shit _is_ the problem: Poco doesn't have to pay for all those 349 euro phones going to the recycler after just 2,5 years (while probably the components could last years longer).

Didn't anyone bother to set up the MacBook activation locks? Or did people steal MacBooks anyway just to throw them away later when they turn out to be unusable?

The 'triple A' games of the time sometimes used the amount of floppy disks as a sort of status symbol (11 disks of content! ;) ) I believe those games were mostly graphic adventures (especially Sierra's), or productivity soft

CD-ROM was a fine replacement for software distribution though. There was a 3,5" floppy compatible "SuperDisk" standard which could store up to 120Mb per disk. But the Zip disk already had a big market share then. I remember
