    I had no idea color LCDs existed in the 70s! Seriously, I guess it isn't shut down completely and they added some modern displays?

    I live near downtown, actually I think the car breakins have gotten less frequent or people have learned not to leave anything showing. There was a time when you would see SoMa diamonds along the sidewalk all over the place (broken cubes of

    I counted at least 30 electric motors in my (non-EV) car. 3 in each mirror. 2 in the HUD. All of those will end up in a landfill/junk yard. Seems like a huge waste.
