Love him or hate him, it will be fascinating to see if the democratic institutions of the United States can endure this. He has made it very clear he wants to dismantle as much as he can, including term limits. Time will tell if the US real

The writing has been on the wall for a while now. Traditional automakers have tens of billions of R&D sunk in ICE vehicles they were planning to payback in decades. Now they have to spend that again on EVs and they just have no desire.

Woah, slow down there citizen. It’s been rebranded to “lobbying” and “campaign contributions”. Much cleaner. Better optics.

I should have done that, hoping to stall the engine. I panicked and really didn’t know what to do. The noise and MASSIVE cloud of black smoke pouring out the back were terrifying. Not a great first drive after an engine swap.

Reverse is troublesome, because if it does roll the engine over it will turn the engine backwards. While that shouldn’t cause damage, it’s still not great. I actually felt it doing so once while sitting in the drivers seat. I could feel it

No actually, first gear low range 4x4 would be better - and that’s what I do now. Think of how much effort it takes to pedal a bike from standstill in 1st gear vs the highest gear. The force required is the same if it’s being applied to the

I once had a diesel engine runaway (google it, the engine ran on its own oil at some insane rpm). I put it in neutral until the engine seized. Scary stuff

Are you saying a product that has not been released yet will be faster than a product that is? And that a desktop part is going to outperform a laptop part?

Yes, that’s always been the case, and would be regardless of apple (or any other manufacturer) adding new features

So you're saying Apple added something to the design to make it do things faster...which is literally the definition of improvement. When a company adds a supercharger to a car does it not count as faster? When I add more solar panels

I loved my 2015 MBP too. I recently replaced it with a used MBA M1, 16GB, 2TB. It's insane how much faster it is, how long the battery lasts and how cool and silent it is. Completely different worlds.

Apple make products for pros, and products for everyday people. Obviously there will always be use cases at each far end and in the middle they won’t meet unless that have 50,000 SKUs. It’s fine, just spend your money elsewhere. Complaining

Keep that in mind when you read or hear news about anything . Someone has a vested interest in the side of the story you’re getting, and they may have even paid for it.
