We had a Sony Trinitron CRT TV that had a brightness sensor on it like 35 years ago. It also worked horribly.

Not sure that's true... If the key gets compromised, having it password protected does nothing.

Kinda defeats the whole point of MFA if you can just bypass it like that.

The game is originally from 1994, what do you expect? We didn't even have 3dfx 3d accelerator cards back then. OpenTTD will run smooth on a Pi. It ran smooth on my 486 when it first came out.

I'm not a huge gamer, but I did spend 14 hours a day for a week playing this game once. Never been sucked in to a game like this. And even better if you can find the original music and graphics. The music is excellent, and will play in

I don't know which models or years they did it in, but they deleted the stalk on some cars, and moved the signals onto the touch area on the steering wheel.

Touch screens still go bad all the time, just like buttons. Do they just put touch screen in cars and not test them? I don't see how a row of 12 buttons is any more difficult to test than a touch screen.

Land line telephones got replaced by cell phones. That didn't make land lines less of a utility. Anything could be replaced somewhere down the road. You don't really have a choice with regards to your YouTube usage, currently. The

It's not mobile when it's connected to a screen / keyboard is it?

I'm gonna say it. Instant Pots suck. They're too small compared to a crock pot and aren't really fast for a lot of things. Most things that you can cook quickly on a stove take forever due to pressurizing and depressurizing.

When I was looking for a microwave, I went to an local appliance store because I didn't wanna go to Home Depot etc and get some piece of shit. They told me the exact same thing and that's why they didn't have a huge selection

My work had a load of commercial microwaves. Always wondered why they had no turntable. But the buttons on the front never made sense to me. Had to poke around to figure out which one cooked my food in the right amount of time. Not sure if

I went to an appliance store. A real appliance store like you're talking about. They told me that all the consumer models are the same. Same hardware, same manufacturer. They only had 2 or 3 to choose from. They said there is basically

Well they are exempt from most laws.

Lost my FRS radio up on the mountain once. I started calling it from my friends radio... "Hello, I'm a lost radio, please find me" and someone called me back and met up with me to return the radio.

I prefer it hot as fuck. Maybe that's just me. I don't want a luke warm cup of coffee. I think drinking coffee while driving is dumb as fuck if I'm perfectly honest. They said they the problem was the lid was not secured, wha

Most accidents in a roundabout don't happen this way. The severity of most accidents in roundabouts are reduced significantly vs a traffic light. Drunk drivers have launched cars into all kinds of random shit and places where you would

by olyjohn 3y ago
Correct me if I'm wrong... but compared to a traffic light, you have to go significantly slower, so most accidents are not as severe as at a traffic light. You also aren't crashing into someone in a t-bone situation, usually they

So what happens if someone figures out a simple way to bypass immobilizers? You can always look back at something and say that it's dumb or that the fix was obvious, but back when those cars were made, they were cheap, and theft wasn&#

They will not respond to car thefts, break-ins, or hit and runs. They will not even respond if you have a GPS tracker, video of the people stealing your car with clear faces, and the coordinates lead to an obvious chop shop in someone'

Or just make PHEVs. Cars that have small batteries, that are big enough to do 95% of your driving on electricity. That still let you jump in and go somewhere without hoping that there is a place to charge up. And even when running the ICE e

Exactly... It's a big fat bait and switch. Don't tell me they didn't know what all the costs of this was going to be. They get deals by committing to prices for a number of years. They know the costs of IP, production, cloud

That's because they are not allowed to raise rates willy nilly. They have to have justification, so if they can find it, they will use it.

Just like every CPU benchmark. You just do certain tests and only reveal the ones where your chip is faster, and you put caveats on everything. This is how every new chip has been since the dawn of time. No single chip is faster at everythi

Isn't there PPE you can wear? How do they protect you in a real factory? There are gloves, suits and respirators, and it's all pretty cheap. Proper ventilation, that stuff isnt all that expensive.

In other news, every field where you have to pay someone to fix your shit requires a level of trust! You have to trust that your mechanic isnt going to make up some bogus shit to extract money from you. You have to trust your plumber isn&#x

Dandelions taste gross though. That's why nobody wants to eat them. Also, grass is native in a lot of places.

Also lots of people are really susceptible to placebo. The people I see on carnivore diet who feel "so amazing" now, are the same ones who feel so amazing every time they try a new diet. If the liver is so amazing at filtering all

I'm confused. I thought that reproducing a study was pretty much doing a peer review?

They had 700 people doing redundant work? Good thing they waited until there was potential for a recession to actually decide to look into that. Excellent business leadership.
