I suppose one argument for it is that it's easier to regulate it if you own it.

Yeah, this has absolutely nothing to do with Nest and everything to do with people using the same passwords for different sites.

My nearest Apple Store (not a third party reseller - they're bloody useless) is a 3 hour round trip, and they never have any appointments any way. Granted that's still better support as non-business you'd get from one of the

Used to do it on Windows 95/98 at my school with Cain and Abel. You could save the *.pwl files to a floppy, take them home, and crack them in a few minutes. All you needed was a PC that a teacher had logged into recently.

At the moment, my Dad gets a company car though and the Tesla Model 3 just popped up as an option on their portal. He and serveral of his colleagues are in the process of swapping. My Dad does about 20,000 miles a year for work.

In response to your edit: Petrol cars have always been cheaper than diesel ones to buy in the UK. They cost more to service too. Usually you have to be doing well in excess of 15-20,000 miles a year to make the extra expense worth it. Also,

You think Italian is bad? I was once in Cyprus using Google Maps and it decided it couldn't cope with the alphabet, so it pronounced each individual letter on each road and placename. It would still be reading the road name and you&#x2

In the same situation, my launch model 7 Plus still reports 92% battery health and has generally been a good device. The XR didn't interest me, but the 11 has my attention a little more.

Doesn't have to be 5, you would model it and adjust.

Maybe I'm old now or too into old school rallying, but when someone says "hella" I just think of massive foglights on old rally cars.

It is. Also as a Brit I love calling American's "Septics".

Launching an Atom or Caterham with big power is incredibly hard for most people, even for those who own them. Not really a drag strip car, more a club circuit vehicle.

That's basically how it works on the Isle of Mann.

I was a bit like this as a kid, the way it was solved was to involve me more in the cooking process. From the age of about 13 I cooked most of my own meals, now love to cook. Growing up I used to watch episodes of The Naked Chef too which h

It's a 300mph barrier for a road going car you could easily drive to your nearest supermarket if you so wanted.

I believe the early ones had a dip-stick-type deal to measure the tank, check it before you set off etc. I think the later ones did have a fuel guage though.

I'm talking about the challenge, building a car that can do 300mph and then also drive to the shops seems like a really difficult engineering task.
