I'm a bit slow on looking at this, but looks to me like it is for a full-electric conversion and not to a hybrid? Still very cool to see and I hope it goes well for him. The more options the better.

:) I was confused by the parent post too. Perhaps they mean that you see the neighbourhood before you even see the house. A little like the first impression of the house is made before even seeing the actual house.

But Veracrypt can be used for encryption of a volume, without creating a hidden volume. I assume it would often be used this way. The $5 wrench decryption technique would be even more unpleasant if you hadn’t created a hidden volume, as the

I once expected an aftermarket industry to pop-up to hybridize old cars. Old rear-wheel drive manual cars sound easiest. Generator attached to the flywheel instead of the starter motor, and then find some way to squeeze a drive motor by the

My 1994 Toyota Celica had a vent beneath the steering column. It didn't have airbags, ABS braking, cruise control, electric seats, a 5th gear - it was missing all kinds of features that more luxurious cars had then, and even basic cars

Always loved this from The Big Short (movie): "In the years that followed, hundreds of bankers and rating agency's executives went to jail. The SEC was completely overhauled, and Congress had no choice but to break up the big bank

I have visited very few Indian government sites, but the list does include indianvisaonline.gov.in. Some have been horribly confusing, but some haven't. I did manage to get my Visa, complete with 17ish identical confirmation emails (I&

I think you're right, if you're referring to the hardware. But there are also ever rising hardware requires for the built in apps and the rest of the operating system. An iPad which we bought around 5 years ago, which was still on

Ok, me too now. But you can’t have that, so maybe you could settle for a high-reving V8 in a tunnel?

Cider9986 answered for Android, so I'll throw out a suggestion for iPhone. Assistive Access on iPhone might be an option for people looking for something drastic. Turning it on is simple, but it's pretty brutal and a bit crude in

Hmm - I’m not an expert on this, but I thought the e:HEV system was quite different. More like an engine connected to a single very long gear (like top gear), to avoid converting from physical motion to electricity and back to physical moti

I don't like the headline for this article. You can Google the word 'disregard', and see results, but you just don't get any AI Overview.

I have been considering this since Apple Passwords implemented a way to export. I've just seen that the iPhone Passwords app has an export to another app you have installed on your phone, but I previously tested the export from Safari

Can I ask questions about your setup? I don't intend to grill you on it or pick it apart - I would like to go down this route further, but find myself gradually moving away from it. I switched from Keepass to Bitwarden in 2020, knowing

This feels like a dumb question, but is there nothing to distinguish the USB 2 port from the USB 3 port? I think there is an alert to tell people if they are using a fast device in the slow port, but I wonder whether their target market wil

Do you mean that I am falling into that? Quite possible! Could you explain? I don’t see it yet. I guess I just think of it as where there isn’t an obvious correct answer, best not to criticise another choice. Especially when there seem to b

I find it very strange - I don’t really know what to make of it. I have the wallet shortcut in my control centre. If I use it while on the Home Screen, I end up in the wallet app where I can rearrange and change settings for the cards. If I

This one seems harder to get right to me. The cards are stacked so that the card further down the screen is the top of the stack (the card overlap indicating which is in front of which). I would guess this was done because if you can only s

I find this immensely frustrating. My work laptop (HP ZBook Studio 16 G11 - the current model) will will only charge from the USB C ports on the left side, not the right side. Unfortunately, that is low down my list of charging complaints f

Orange is bright brown! By the way, my comment is entirely in jest. I would struggle to have to choose between only the words "red" and "yellow" to describe orange colours. Except for the orange fruit. I'm happy cal

Huh! That's very interesting. I am definitely not the person to shed any light on what is going on, but you've added to my feeling that these adapters are all incomprehensible, so I'll try and do the same for you. I have a US

I've been cold in an office at work and ran a stress test on an old laptop which was destined for e-recycling, so that it would blow warm air on my hands. It wasn't achieving anything doing that work, but it did work well. At leas
