Officer: Why did you rear end the car in front of you?
Me: I had to take my eyes off the road and find the speed somewhere on the crammed infotainment system. I eventually found it just above the Spotify playlist, next to the navigation, but it disappeared underneath a popup that said the airbag has been deployed.
Because this isn't the market, it's one model. My car is new and has an instrument cluster and no option to remove it.
Reprogramming a turntable? Especially an audiophile turntable? My friend there's not an ounce of code in it. It's a motor that spins when you apply power, connected to a belt. You put the record on and drop the tone arm where you want it, either manually or using a mechanical release device.
What you you reprogramming here? The laws of physics? The electron flow? The magnetic flux?
Correctish. It's actually the same law. The Radio Equipment Directive not only standardised the charging connection but also mandated that every manufacturer provide the purchaser the choice of *not* buying a charger. But they only required a choice, it was still very much possible to sell an included charger with a phone.
And thank god. Those included ones are completely useless compared to a dedicated charger.
They're incentivized to make the service or product good.
No they aren't. They are incentivized to make the service *addictive*. Those are not the same. Do you want Xbox cloud gaming to be nothing more than the Android app store with mobile clickers and microtransactions? Because that makes them the most money: pandering to the weak minded and the whales.
"Good" doesn't mean "profitable"
I guess you don't play it much? Most PS3s died long ago. The laser wore down with use and reading disks became borderline impossible. We're on our 3rd PS3. Fortunately you can still get some on the second hand market.
Can they? https://www.wsj.com/real-estat... Maybe in a normal car, but they do have some problems with Teslas.
In 1924 the average earnings were $1,303
Do you know that purchasing power and cost are two different things right? Things are still cheaper than they were before. Also looking at average earnings varies widely by economic policy over many years. Average earnings are a poor reflection of population wealth especially as inequality has changed greatly over the years.
You're right purchasing power is down for cars, but still know you're talking about a different thing and not refuting the parent's point in the slightest. Many things are much cheaper.
Thanks for your autistic interpretation. The rest of the world realises we're talking about the era where fuel injection is electrically controlled by an ECU. Most cars sold even in the late 80s had carburated injection systems.
But if you want to nit-pick at least be correct, fuel injection is from the late 1800s. Some of the earliest engines used in cars had direct fuel injection. Daimler mass produced and sold the first passenger vehicles in the 1930s with fuel injection.
And the solution is
The EU has already implemented such tariffs. The tariffs are based on individual contributions to the companies so vary with manufacturer. But I've got some bad news for you, EVs produced in purpose built factors are cheap to make, so even when you cancel out the subsidies,... the Chinese cars are still excellent value for money.
The EU mandates these systems not record or calculate any biometric data (meaning any data that could identify the differences between drivers, let alone identifying individuals) and not retain any graphic data beyond the time needed to do a closed loop calculation of attentiveness, and not record while the system is bypassed.
That's in EC regulation 2023/2590 Section 2.3.1
What reality? The reality that it's 2026 and you're still not able to buy a car from Ford built on a unified EV platform while Chinese EVs, Teslas, and at least to some extent European competitors have had unified EV platform cars on the road for a while and in many cases well over a decade?
Yeah reality is calling, wake up and see how embarrassing your link truly is for Ford.
You lost me at step 1. Why would we get in a war with China? Again it benefits absolutely no one.
You just described the last 5 wars America was involved in. Sorry did I say war? I meant international police action, or preventative anti-terror action, or special military operation, or whatever euphemism gets you around obeying laws by not saying the W word.
It's almost like there's a mechanism to compensate for this. A mechanism that Trump loves. The only mechanism that Trump knows. The T word to undo those subsidies and make goods more expensive.
Bonus points: pedo-in-chief will think China will pay for it too.
they are still burying blades while talking about how supposedly green these are
If you can't even separate the concept of zero emissions from the concept of end of life *inert* waste then I'm sorry man not amount of education can correct whatever accident happened upon your brain as a baby.
