I’m unable to order this laptop without a charging brick which is now illegal in the EU. Same goes for the standard one year warranty. Should be two at minimum. I had my country configured to Belgium while testing this.

A slightly thicker back so that in four years time it will take me 5 minutes versus 60 minutes to change the battery? Yes, that sounds like something I am not interested in.

Then use the supplied USB-C to USB-C cable for more efficient charging, while using the magnets to stick it to the back of your phone.

I have a magnetic wireless power bank that I put on my phone and I can continue using it as normal.

You sound like someone trying to justify guns. "People should be educated to behave round them". No. Trams in Amsterdam are very dangerous and replacing them with long busses makes everything better. Tram is not the safest form of

I still see dozens of unplated mopeds in The Netherlands so the system is not perfect but they are trying to fix it.

Things being far apart in the US predates cars. Rail made that possible.

Because fines are automatic. If you register a vehicle to your name and don't insure it within 28 days you get a €500 fine. The government can fine you up to three times a year for a total of €1500. And that is if you actually pay the

In countries like The Netherlands it is impossible to drive around uninsured. So that is probably why the number is so low.

And how many Americans live in places without any public transport? As a European I spend some time in LA and Las Vegas and while not optimal I could get everywhere without a car. I could even do a day-trip to Bakersfield by bus.

Don't forget to add rail incidents to that metric. I live in Spain, this year we had 4 derailments for a total of 48 deaths and 195 injured. The USA has had 0 passengers killed or injured from train accidents this year. Portugal had 15

I got a cheap CPU cooler and swapped the fan out for a Noctua. For half the cost of a complete Noctua CPU cooler I got good temperatures and no noise.

Funny how the world works. People once bought cheap children’s play carpets and cut them up as car mats out of poverty. Now people pay €75 to get that same look.

That problem could be solved by creating a 1:1 clone regarding buttons and user interface. But I guess TI has a good legal team to tackle that.

This has a 156Mhz processor. My lightbulb has more calculating power than that.

The $0.03 LED, $0.04 diffuser panel and the extra 3 cents for manufacturing keys with transparency will eat into their 93% profit margin. Can't have that. The children will just have to use a desk light.

With a 156MHz processor and 3.5 megabytes of user-available memory the kids will even learn how to optimize their code!

For a $10 BoM and maybe a year of R&D I would say that $160 is bad.

Have we reached a point yet where companies are spending millions a year on software licenses, cloud and AI to the point where the return isn't worth it? Years ago I did work for a company that was spending over a million on Oracle pro

On an enthusiast forum someone made a little circuit board that plugs into the control panel of the steering wheel. When you get in the car, you press one button, and that simulates the button press sequence required to turn off the lane ke

First thing I do on rental cars is pull out any devices plugged into the OBD port and follow the wiring for a bit to see if the port is duplicated. I'll plug it back in when they ask for it, that way I know it is not a bad actor at pla
