You joke, but a developer may have actually tried to enter a street name on a test form using an Apple device, and this did actually happen and the developer said 'it doesn't allow apostrophes', and since that developer is probably a family hire, the council member that hired them had to choose between firing the family member and enforcing a 'no apostrophe' rule.

This is how stupid rules are made.

This is why when the standard is just plain dumb you ask for an extension to it, and just say it won't work as is. Or turn into a damned developer and actually solve the problem.

What were they using before? It was clearly superior. Even Slashdot can handle (some) apostrophes, don't cha know.

by pumping more one-time money to every person. If there was a definition of predatory company, this is it.

That isn't just for luxury cars, my 2020 Ford Escape has that feature too. It is monitoring your steering inputs and noticing they are getting less frequent but more corrective.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Electronic Stability Control was mandatory since 2008.

I have had the warning activate several times on my car but not enough to start braking, the first time is jarring, but once you are used to the sudden alarm and red flashing console it just becomes a familiar part of the safety equipment.

But yea if it triggers falsely in fast moving traffic that would be a good reason to hate on it, but that hasn't happened to me yet in 4 years of ownership.

Sure do whatever you want with your property off-road and on-track. But when it is time to drive home on public roads for which you require a license switch it back on please.

'I'm an excellent driver' doesn't cut it when everyone else is following the rules and regulations of the public road. Quite frankly no matter your skill the emergency braking WILL be quicker to react than you. And it is not a replacement for you, but is there for that ONE time in your life you didn't see something in front of you for whatever reason.

Is it really a false alarm though? I can identify when my car is about to warn me simply from previous experience. And if you actually think of the situation that caused the 'false alarm' perhaps it actually was a situation that was questionable.

Usually the situation that this happens is when you are anticipating another driver's actions will take them out of your path. But the car software will not do that and sees you are accelerating or not slowing towards the car in front of you; it doesn't matter if they are actively turning off onto another street - it is a bad situation to put yourself in.

All I got from that is that racism is now a mental disorder? FFS.

In a historical context, your potential behavior would have been mentally and physically corrected long before you became a servant of Plato.

Different times.

Of what it is. Apparently it is a self-hosted social media platform.

That is poorly written such that it can DOS itself? Cute. But I don't do Social.

In the end, it all comes down to the corn lobby. Quick Gewgle Foo shows 40 percent of US corn is used as cattle feed. Ethanol MOVE OVER!

So now even that term is enshitified. Real Power Users have something to sort and find those tabs, like marked books neatly organized, categorized, and searchable or something like that.

Or worse, redirected to some hopefully similar page from the same site? Oh and how many were the result of popups :D

First it is a product feature, then it is a government mandated feature. Lobbying 101.
