Of course they don't mention it. They don't want you to bring it in and have to pay a tech to do the update for you. It doesn't mean the dealership can't do it.

I'm pretty sure that the only diagnostic codes that an ECU is required to output are emissions-related codes. Since EVs have no emissions, I'm gonna guess they can force all diagnostics through the dealer if they really want to.

Nobody ever uses more than 40 gallons though. So if you do, you're abusing the system.

KDE Connect works pretty great for sending files, though you do have to be on the same network.

I was noticing the other day how my pollen allergies would subside when I took some Adderall, and would come back when it wore off. I looked it up and there are actually correlations between allergies and ADHD. I'm not sure if Celiac i

I hate to say it, but $5.00 seems cheap compared to the last time I bought a fancy coffee.

I've had this experience with Subarus. And it's fucking annoying. If the car is tracking where it should go, why do I need to put force on the wheel? It's like I have to keep steering it slightly the wrong way so that it figh

Yep, just like Anti-Virus back in the day. Sure, it might protect you from a virus now and then, but AVs actually caused more broken computers, and false positive triage work than they protected. In the long run it was never worth running a

And the memes are all just one sentence gotchas with no real substance. And that's how people ingest the news. Headlines and Memes. Who needs actual articles?

It's a virtual network interface. So it's not really hardware, but the computer treats it like it is.

Stop making bad human drivers an excuse for these machines to also be bad drivers. We're striving to do better, that's the whole point.

Most people dont even use the operating system. They look for the apps menu, then click what they want to run. Most people can switch between OSes easier than you think because there really isn't that much difference in how they work o

I think they like the heat. They also love to sit on warm car hoods after the car is shut off. Maybe a heating pad set on low would attract them.

Everybody tolerates it, and then they will make it even worse. Thats how we go to where we are now with this bullshit.

ADB ports only finally went away when USB came out. But I do have to give Apple credit, because those fruity-colored iMacs with the hockey puck mouse, that had only USB ports... those are really what got USB to become fully adopted. PCs had

Maybe it doesn't add anything to the conversation. How does it help anybody that this one person gave no reasons for why it won't work for them?

My friend has had one for about 6 years and put about 40,000 miles on his. Then one day some battery control module died. Now the car is a brick, and isn't worth fixing. The whole battery has to come out to get to the module, and it&#x

I think the problem is that, at least in my experience, you end up with more anxiety once the initial high wears off. Paranoia is an extremely common side effect of Marijuana, and so are nightmares with prolonged use. And once you kinda get

Extra weight compared to what? A pure ICE car? The weight savings from only using 30% of the batteries is huge. Also, what's more complex about a PHEV vs a regular hybrid? Do you want to tell me how heavy and unreliable a Prius is? And

And if you can't find said factory button available anywhere, you can usually replace it with any cheap-ass generic button or switch.

Yeah unless its integrated into another module. Or you remove or unplug it, and suddenly it throws an annoying error because a module is missing. Or even your car goes into limp mode because of some kind of weird cascade failure. There migh

What happens when a backpack full of paper books is destroyed? When I was a kid, we were charged between $50-100 for a book that was written in or destroyed. I bet these days it would be $200 each. Yeah we were running around with $500-600

A lot of new cars use tire rotation to detect a low tire now. So no need for TPMS sensors unless you need precise pressure data for some reason. Its much cheaper to do it this way so I suspect most TPMS sensors will be going away soon anywa

Its been there but its just been less public. The CEO of Qwest was ousted/and sent to prison because he refused to allow the government to tap all of their phone systems for NSA mass surveillance. This was like 25 years ago.

Might as well just rip off the band aid and learn to suck it up. Fixing Windows and MacOS with these fucking shitty hacks and doesn't work forever. You will be upgraded, like it or not, or be harassed the rest of your life to do so.
