Yes, but “Dieselgate” is not appropriate here because that term has “cheating” loaded onto it, which represents a different struggle for companies than vendor lock-in. What this company is doing is related to DRM and arguably closer to what

It’s easier to fix with off-the-shelf parts (blown capacitor, damaged MOSFET, etc) than a part in which is manufactured for and by the automaker (e.g. variable valve timing component).

As pointed out in a different comment thread here, that’s a header tank which was used in older, multi-level buildings where city water pressure was not adequate for the rise to upper floors. Builders would set up a tank that slowly filled

It always struck me as strange that AirBnB never went in the direction of providing a simple base station with a CO/CO2 detector, noise sensor, Wifi AP (for IoT locks, lights, etc). I know the whole “hardware is hard” thing but you can

Having a newer VW with VCDS is a superpower. If you are getting vague codes (e.g. Air Intake Leak), you get really good at analyzing sensor data to determine exactly what an issue might be and can either fix it or swap the sensor, most of w

The problem with dry stone construction is that you cannot determine the performance characteristics required for, say, a building foundation. Not all boulders are created equal, but a professional concrete pour, mixed and installed to the

Europe and United States have nearly equal land area of just shy of 4 million square miles. There are 24 official languages of the European Union and English as the lone, defacto language of the USA. Why would anything else be expected from

A null result, or the absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence. If you fake a null result, you’re not asserting anything other than you could not measure and collect supporting data using your experiment to prove or disprove a hypoth

This feels like a sneaky way for Microsoft to absorb the for-profit subsidiary and kneecap (or destroy) the nonprofit without any money changing hands or involvement from those pesky regulators.

I’ve been primarily a city dweller for most of my life but have had a few stints in very rural, mountainous areas and I cannot get enough of it. Think gold country in Northern California between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. There are a few ad

For adults, the hyperactivity manifests more as restlessness and impulsive behavior. Conversely, tasks you find under-stimulating (boring tasks, waiting in line, driving in traffic) may feel extra draining or mentally painful. Your living s

Let’s say for the sake of argument (because it’s not true) that the only possible benefit of psychedelics is “fun”. Assuming sensible doses do not cause harm, what is the problem with it only being fun?

“Sustainable” as a marketing word was likely chosen to refer primarily to itself, i.e. the production of the fuel itself is sustainable compared to drilling for a known finite resource (crude oil). However, it is ecologically sustainable in

There are a bunch of steps in the refining process. One of the first step is pulverizing/grinding where you can separate out the constituent components based on density. This step can done locally and will cut the volume of the ore by

The point, I'm assuming, would be to simply leave if those things indicate there is a lot of UV present. I certainly would not hang around regardless of adequate protection.

This is not unique to Amazonian languages, in fact, it’s observed so much in other languages that I wonder how strange “western” languages are to make this distinction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green

The no communication or support is the real killer here, imo. I can understand them having some catastrophic issues which I would be reasonably confident they could fix, it’s the uncertainty of the situation that makes me worry. Is this so

If you’ve completed any human language crosswords before, this is a trick they use too in the form of ambiguous, common answers (e.g. “super quick, abbr” can be ASAP or STAT - for more annoyance, notice letter 3 is the same in both), usuall
