You get a push notification saying that you are charged an ready to go. The app shows estimated time remaining as well. If the Supercharger is more than 50% occupied, you get charged a per-minute fee after 5 minutes.

Some of us don’t pay VAT on business purchases either. It’s customary in US, and evil genius in EU, where consumer prices must be shown with VAT. It hides the tax (surprisingly many people, even those you would expect to be financially lite

Did you actually drive with it or are you just armchair experting? I don’t need SSD, my hard drive is fast enough. Qi charging is pointless, I just plug it in. 4K HDR is waste of bits. It’s just another lane assist. It’s upgrading, and then

It doesn’t do that. And your still driving - you just don’t micromanage trivia (which turns out is pretty exhausting). That increases your cognitive capacity to observe the road ahead at a higher level. You now see things you could have m

I’ve only recently seen a Supercharger that wasn’t (it had a passable gas station next to it, but that’s one level worse than a fast food).

It may not be for you. It’s fine for me. (FWIW, I also politically strongly disagree with EU’s draconian emission standards that are attempting to push EVs on people who don’t won’t EVs.) The route you mention is full of Superchargers. You

It’s something like 7-8 miles on European grid (for Model S), I.e. still not enough. What is fine is if you stay in a hotel for one day or more.

Evolved the same way in neighboring Czechia.

Well, that “downside” is the entire point. Czech publishers call this “social DRM”, which conveys the point well: if the book says it was printed for me, visibly, I won’t be inclined to distribute it illegally. It isn’t about enforcement (s

Publishers can request DRM-free regime. Tor does on both Amazon and iBooks as a matter of policy, there are others.

You’re right. It’s pretty much never true. The publishing costs are dominated by the fixed costs.

Well, no? Assuming by default that somebody would break the law, just because you politically disagree with them, is not justified . As said above, CC holders are among the most law-abiding citizens (this is true in my country too). They&#

It’s not fine. Safari lets me disable the requests globally, which I did, because every stupid website asks for notifications permissions. Since then, there’s a lot of in-page popups asking the same, exactly as described above. No adblocker

All docks I’ve seen require careful insertion of the phone, to a) hit the spot where the cable goes in and b) not to scratch the phone if I miss. Wireless: just slam the phone on the puck (or stand), carelessly.

Or unless you’re in a business that has disproportionate number of asshole customers. Sony probably couldn’t afford to offer unconditional returns in the PlayStation store...

It’s nowhere near unconditional and not even close to anything goes culture in US.

by vsl 8y ago
Absolutely not. Returning used anything in US is cultural courtesy. Returning in EU is mandated by law, but for online purchases only and unused products, with hygienic exclusions - the purpose being giving you the same chance as in a bri

Apple had reputation of not doing that. The last few years they do it all the time, are late all the time and can’t learn the lesson (see: last week’s announcements). It’s not that common, except today’s Apple and, well, Tesla, to announc

The explanation I’ve read (sorry, don’t recall the source) is that this system repurposed a purely advisory one that existed before, for informing the pilot about AoA. Being advisory in nature, it didn’t need duplicate sensors. Next up: you

Maybe this will have you reflect on dismissing opposition to EU ("reckless Brexiteering nationalists") and consider why people may oppose (some aspects of) current EU. Some of those "reckless Brexiteering nationalists"

This is partially untrue. A typical fee around here, in Europe, is 3%. Having only a single realtor involved, for the seller, is true. I don’t doubt property search services are offered, but it’s not a default.

This is either stupid or dishonest. A gun to your head is a threat of violence - that’s the criminal act. Threatening murder is a crime in itself. The crime of wiretapping would be secretly listening/recording (and willfully so, no
