On the two occasions my Volvo has decided to take over (both admittedly due to overhanging bushes in a parking space), it has taken over control immediately and entirely. There is no warning.

Can highly recommend PlatformIO and something like Atom or Visual Code, etc. The Arduino IDE is... unique.

Aside from the actual costs involved in (lengthy) labour and materials, manufacturing fairings also takes up vast amounts of factory real estate. The numbers are small compared to the rest of the game, but it's one of those things that

Great resource at https://sites.google.com/site/myprojectq/robotic/classic-mic... Looks like the latest iteration will use a fan for suction power, adding to the traction capability.

TGV falls into the same class as Thalys, ICE, etc When a Thalys route was opened between Paris and Brussels (200 miles), Air France withdrew their flights and booked seats on the train instead. American, Delta and JetA also operate a code s

Do you honestly believe your life depends on the stability of an in flight entertainment computer?

That's just a speed limiter. Have it on my 4yo Volvo. Can be overridden by depressing the pedal fully to the floor (not a kickdown, before someone jumps on that aspect - it's a manual car)

I am, as this very moment, timing a national level UK race meet, and none of the 13 events this morning has yet to go over 15 minutes. 20 minutes per race is more than enough to take part in regular national race meets here in the UK.

Move it all to a wallet you control. You then get to choose when and where to spend/transfer it. Personally, I went with a multitude of paper wallets.

I hope and expect it to be within the next 5 to 10 years, tbh.

This particular instance of the safety check was utterly ridiculous and pointless. My wife and a friend were prompted to 'Mark as safe', except we both were in Glasgow. Over 400 miles away.

I would contest the label of 'good friend' then.

Several production cars have a centre speedometer, Minis for one. I've seen digital centered dashtop speedos in other mass market cars too... I just can't recall them at the moment. I have used a GPS speedo on my screenmounted dev

I still have one in a box in the loft :-) My wife used it, and it was a lovely wee phone. I really wanted the X10 Mini Pro, but for various reasons missed out. Glad we've kept the X10 Mini, for reminiscing at least!

Been using pfsense for a while now, and with CARP and system redundancy, firewalling, and twin ipsec tunnels to AWS, it's been great and hugely reliable.

I don't know how old my HP Laserjet 4000 was when I was given it, but 13 years on it's still going strong. I use it very infrequently, admittedly.

Do the above arguments apply to the board range, or just their distro? Whilst not yet supporting Orange Pi PC2, what about Armbian? http://www.armbian.com

Looks great, and certainly ticks a lot more boxes than the others in your comparison matrix! Glad to see that you say services are being worked on. I see that as a good area to push forward on in Docker land.

Large companies don't have to stay in one place. If the USA were to force their hand, they have the option of leaving the country. Chinas behaviour made HSBC, the worlds 5th largest bank, move to London. It's not an unheard of mov

There is an executive order to keep SA at zero. They have other means to deny GPS availability now, and it doesn't involve futzing global availability.
