The difficulty of the job is based pretty much entirely on two this, difficulty of removing electrical connectors and ease of adjustment or lack thereof. The door itself has to meet crash standards so it has to have stuff in it. Therefore most aftermarket doors are for off road use only.
There is no "merely paying" in capitalism. That's literally what it's all based on.
Oh look, modded down by a clown, it must be a day that ends in y.
I know the tower near my home that I normally get signal from doesn't have a generator because it went out after the batteries ran out when we had our last quake, and Verizon promised to bring in a generator but didn't. They wouldn't need to bring one in if it were already there.
I know the tower near my work has a generator because I can see it. I could poke it with a stick through the cyclone fence.
There's a bunch of trolls on here who are mad that I know things. It's very fucking weird.
TBH I don't get it. Google was literally known (back when people cared) for being massively Linux-based. Then when they make their phone they ruin everything about Linux and then gradually un-ruin it
So it's not Apple's fault. It's a combo of bullshit AI bubbles
Apple is participating in the creation of the AI bubble. So yes, it is Apple's fault, in part anyway. Why do people give Apple a pass on behavior they hold Microsoft accountable for?
Android didn't support DHCPv6 last time I checked
Supported by Android 11 and later, support came in a play store update in 2025.
PDF manipulation on Android is *TRASH*
Yeah, but it's also trash on Windows, with Acrobat. Acrobat was never amazing but it used to work. These days it is absolute trash. Features just stop working on you mid-session. It chokes on documents which Evince can render without difficulty, and that's just displaying them. How did Adobe fuck up Acrobat so badly?
with Apple CEO Tim Cook saying efforts to shield customers from higher costs had become "unsustainable."
How many cash dollars, and I do mean actual cash, does Apple keep in the bank? Hint, it's literally a historically unprecedented hoard no matter how you do the calculations.
It is strange for people to come to a technology focused forum and then complain about... the prevalence of technology in vehicles.
We're complaining about the prevalence of technology used to abuse us, not that the vehicle uses advanced alloys, or a CAN bus. The problem is not "technology" and that framing is either disingenuous or a clear betrayal of a lack of understanding of the issues at hand. Why do so many nerds think they're experts in every category? Some of us have worked on cars for decades and know some real things about the benefits and drawbacks of modern designs.
somehow, a BUNCH of people have convinced themselves that, of course, 350 million Americans must ALL follow the same mentality and therefore are justified in painting a huge swath of the population with the same brush
Somehow, a bunch of people have convinced themselves that Americans are shit because a third of us want shit, a third of us will put up with shit without even complaining, and the last third is divided between those who only complain and those who only vote. The numbers of people doing anything else are a rounding error.
Please leave us nerds to discuss technology.
Slashdotters have always discussed ramifications of technology, not only the technology itself. You just don't know anything about where you are.
I can't remember the last time I saw a cell tower without a generator at the base.
When's the last time you saw a cell tower located on a ridgeline? Yeah, the tower I regularly walk by while getting my lunch has a generator, but the one that was out near my home for 3 days after the last significant quake clearly doesn't.
I live in Rio Dell, CA. When we had our last significant quake the Verizon tower went down after a few hours and was out for the extent of the outage, almost 3 days. They promised to bring in a generator to power the tower and then... just didn't bother.
News for nobody. Stuff that doesn't matter.
I think for me to replace a Prius door, it would be a huge and expensive effort.
Have you ever swapped a door on any car?
Everyone involved including ASML has made it clear that will not result in China holding working equipment.
If drivers would actually stop at the solid line way before the crosswalk instead of ignoring that line hanging their bumper over the crosswalk, maybe they would see someone in the crosswalk.
No, they wouldn't, not if that someone is an average child.
But that's a small problem compared to the distracted driving car designs (infotainment screen) and young adults not looking both ways.
It is the driver's responsibility not to kill people in crosswalks whether they are paying attention or not. How many people have you driven over?
We can found no scientific discipline, nor a healthy profession on the technical mistakes of the Department of Defense and IBM. -- Edsger Dijkstra
