This is such good news, it deserves a dupe.

Some cars do not even use a pressure sensor. They measure wheel speed, and if thereâ(TM)s a substantial deviation in rotational speed for one wheel, it triggers a TPMS warning.

Jalopnik has been showing a lot of casual racism lately. My pet peeve is they continue to refer to Volvo Cars as a Chinese company, despite being located in Sweden, run by Swedes, employing Swedes, building flagship cars in Sweden, paying the employees in Swedish money, and being traded on the Stockholm NASDAQ. But heaven forbid you call Jeep a Dutch brand despite its parent Stellantis being based in Amsterdam.

OS X has not been around for a few years, it has been called macOS lately. Importantly, its not version 10 (X) anymore: Big Sur was 11, and Monterey is 12.

I envy you. I work for a big Scandinavian company that has tried to pretend COVID isnâ(TM)t real and has actively pushed all employees to be in the office, even now.

I work for a publicly traded multinational company in Gothenburg, and they have been pretending COVID doesn't exist. For months, we have been expected to treat the office as our primary place of work. Any work from home arrangement is at the discretion of your manager. This wouldn't be such a huge problem if there was a vaccine or mask mandate, or regular testing, or enough seats for all employees, but there is none of that. I am at risk of serious complications from COVID due to an immune condition. Right now, while the case rate is increasing, our team manager insists on bringing the whole team together in one room for a full day meeting including Christmas lunch, while the public health agency recommends against this and most other companies are cancelling events like this.

It is incredibly frustrating to be somewhere with so many educated people that put their head in the sand.

This is absolutely right.

But it is also worse than this. Google has been pushing web standards to allow direct access to hardware, which is mainly for ChromeOS. Naturally, Apple balks at the idea of implementing Google-specific âoestandardsâ because they donâ(TM)t think a website should have unfettered hardware access. This in turn causes entitled Google engineers to publicly whine that Apple doesnâ(TM)t do what Google wants, framing it as holding back the web.

Make no mistake, with Google hijacking standards bodies, they intend on trying to force their competitors to use technologies that only benefit Google.

If this had actually gone through 10 years ago when proposed, we would all have micro-B connectors on everything. No fast charging, no USB 3. There are no EU phone manufacturers anymore, so this isn't to protect domestic industry. Apple has already decoupled charger sales from the phones by not shipping a charger anymore. So why is this a problem they so strongly believe needs to be legislated?

Has this window ever flown before? Are they seriously sending up a spacecraft configuration that has never flown before and crewing it with civilians? There is no safety culture in any Musk company.

An airliner will fall out of the sky if it attempts to go as slow as a cessnaâ(TM)s maximum speed. Kinetic energy increasing with v^2 means that drone would do way more damage to an airliner.

It has been so long since I have seen your posts I assumed you had been petrified after being covered in hot grits.

Weight. The energy density is avgas and jet fuel is up to 35x that of a lithium ion battery.

Another way Norton can slow down your computer!

Yeah. I read this as "Google engineer upset that Apple doesn't put all the technologies he works on in their browser."

They have multiple factories in China (mostly for Chinese market Volvos and Lynk & Co cars) but also for global market Polestar cars. They also have factories in Sweden, Belgium, and the US because itâ(TM)s good to not put all your eggs in one basket and itâ(TM)s also good to produce a marketâ(TM)s most desirable cars in close proximity to that market.
