Spoiler alert: There never was any law saying you couldn't build small cars here in the USA.

Not explicitly, but crash survivability regulations make Kei cars illegal in the USA.

Unless Trump pulls the US out of the treaty that he signed (USMCA), any small cars will be built in Mexico. If Trump pulls the US out of that treaty, many other prices will go up.

But this is really just another brain fart from Trump. It won't happen.

Submission + - The Internet of Shit isn't end-to-end encrypted. (404media.co)

whoever57 writes: Kohler sells a "smart" toilet camera that it claims, combined with a monthly fee, will give insights into health from inspecting human waste in your toilet. It interacts with a mobile app and Kohler makes the claim that it is end-to-end encrypted, but the simple fact that Kohler has access to the data shows that the data is not transmitted in an E2EE fashion.

Comment Features? How about losing the bottom bar? (Score 1) 103

A Windows 11 VM that I manage went through an update cycle and, when it was finally finished, the bottom bar was missing.

Like just about all Windows issues, I had to spend a long time googling solutions and trying them, before I eventually landed on the correct solution. I tend to avoid those tiresome Youtube videos that take 10 minutes to tell you that: 1. Their solution is simple and will work, 2, don't forget to subscribe, while failing to acknowledge that there might be other causes for the failure that you have experienced.

Surprisingly, the solution came in an AI answer with the right set of search terms. In my experience, the hit rate for accuracy of AI searches is poor, but this time, it worked!

The laws of physics prevent many people from driving a vehicle with a sub 5 second 0-60 time. It takes a lot of ponies to get a bro-dozer up to speed that quickly.

I think a lot of EVs can do this. My very early Model 3 (not 4WD or Performance model) could do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds for a while (before Tesla nerfed the acceleration).

Because money is the ultimate fungible commodity, the headline should really be:

"Singapore to subsidize production and use of sustainable aviation fuel"

I am skeptical that the "sustainable aviation fuel" is really sustainable and it isn't just disguised fossil fuel (like almost all hydrogen production for vehicles).
