If the drive source is attached directly to the uniwheel, then handling radial drive inputs isn't required and the uniwheel isn't necessary. It's effectively a hub motor with reduction gears at that point. Once the motor is m

Worth noting, placement at the wheel is somewhat arbitrary. There's nothing to prevent this contraption from working the other way around and being mounted at the chassis instead, aside from squeezing out every bit of space optimizatio

Take it from someone who grew up among gun-happy USA-ians and stupidly fooled around with guns in their youth: Don't shoot tires. Not even an old economy tire left from the target car someone dumped in the abandoned gravel pit. Eventua

Why not include a third pedal type, then have all three at once? In a Citroen DS, the clutch pivots above, the accelerator pivots below, and the brake is a button that engages the hydraulic system. Granted, the DS is perhaps the weirdest pr

That's the footgun in google's strategy. In the all-stick no-carrot spirit of modern marketing incentives, they made their unpaid access worse without improving Premium. That only works if the garden has walls, and logging in to y

To be fair, it's all consistent with Reddit's entire historical record. Dishonesty and sockpuppetry is how Reddit got off the ground in the first place. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012&#x2F

Windows is not unhackable. This one's easy. Deleting all instances of the msedge executable does not break Windows. Don't depend on settings, they're not reliable or comprehensive, and it's far more work to track them al

Yikes! Thank you, I regret the error. I know it varies by user but I got nothing back from Google. I posted the DDG link assuming it would be a little less variably tailored for others. That's the first time I've seen DDG overfilt

That's where it became clear that the article was taking advantage of the question to frame the source as an out-of-touch weirdo. "If you can find one manufactured recently that isn’t smart" implies they didn't try to fi

Which makes a consistent sequal to the original DMC! Starting out as a scrappy legitimate production effort, ending in acts of cocaine-fueled financial desparation, DMC went all-in on the stereotype of '80's entrepreneur hustle.
