They… really don’t. My Leaf has the original brake pads after 70k miles, with virtually no wear. I have to deliberately use them every few months to scrub the oxidation layer off. That’s how infrequently an EV uses brakes. Tires, yes. Brake

Law, policy, directive, order, emergency action, etc. All boils down to “government is doing something with force of law” and is reviewable by SCOTUS.

It works like this: there are no Constitution Police. No one gets arrested for making an unconstitutional law. NYC especially is pretty good at this: they make a law, it works through the system and gets struck down by SCOTUS, then they imm

I was hoping this was going to end with "look, it runs embedded linux and here's how to get root, on a $20 camera". That would solve this problem: Does anyone know of a good way to have a camera stream video over WiFi to my s
