I suspect there’s at least some “think of the children” motivation behind this, even if it’s not explicit.

My mother was a cardiovascular pharmacologist and worked with many people who knew at the time that smoking was bad for your health (70s, 80s, 90s). She smoked for decades, but she observed that the doctors and phds she worked with that spe

On my car (2013 mini) the range prediction is actually a more accurate indicator of how much fuel is in the tank than the (separate) fuel tank meter. Not sure why, you’d think they’d use the same input data for both, but it’s true.

I live on a street in NYC where the sound of a skateboard is nothing compared to sirens (cops will punch them to run the red at the corner but sometimes it’s ambulances or fire trucks) and the ridiculous mufflers mentioned in the article. I

I’ve found the range for unlocking your phone with the watch is even tighter. When I’m on the subway it’s less than six inches, presumably because of local radio noise.

I drive a 2013 mini that has a keyless entry system (and push button start as long as the key is in the car). I’m certain my car could be stolen with a relay attack, but confident that won’t happen because I park it 5 floors down in a build

I see. I googled and what I found did not quite equate to what I would call "neighborhoods burned to the ground" but noted.

it's true, ggp's claim of "20-30% chance you will have problems during those first years." is not based in data. if that was the rate, the cost of the extended warranty (apple care) would be much higher.
