I understand that, but I wasn't talking about the value of the airbags, I was asking about the procedure to replace them, if (invented numbers) there are 1500 people working on this replacement, it takes 200 hours to replace 300,000 ai

It is actually mandatory (at low speeds) with the usual differences by countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_warning_sound... but OP asked about engine sound.

I don't understand fully the way it is supposed to work, should all affected vehicles be stopped immediately? And then they should not be driven to service? Even if Dodge/Chrysler have enough spare air bags, if it takes 1 hour tim

For Sinclair it is easy to remember the dates: ZX80 ->1980 ZX81 ->1981 and those had 1KB RAM, the 16K (or 48K) came right after with the Spectrum, which is 1982.

What is not clear (to those that do not understand x86 assembler and/or boot sectors) is that the floppy won't have a filesystem, as if the sectors from 1 onwards are directly occupied by the kernel file, there won't be space

Well, both Syslinux and Lilo access the file system, from the (scarce and IMHO also inaccurate/confusing) info this thingy here accesses the kernel as a sequence of RAW sectors starting from sector 1. I.e. it is not a replacement for S

To be picky, Linux 0.02 was late 1991, I don't think that it supported anything between 1989 and 1991, and even later, until 1.0 in 1994, you couldn't do much in Linux. Still, 2026-1994 is 32 years, and I would gladly settle for m

Strange article (about prices). AFAIK, at least here in Italy, black truffle is actually more around the 600-1000 Euro/kg mark (often less), but they fail to mention how white truffle (which is the best kind) is more in the 3000-5000 E
