That would drive me nuts. My Subaru Outback only beeps when it thinks my hands are not on the wheel. Lots of false positives on long straight flat roads as I have very steady arms when driving. Have to "twitch" the steering when when it goes off.

The only other annoyance is the ASS (Auto Start Stop). Fortunately I have a module that turns that off each time I start the car.

Fortunately my Subaru just pops up a warning/legal disclaimer (probably about not futzing with the screen while driving, I don;t pay attention). It will disappear by itself if I don't hit the button and doesn't stop the infotainment system from running. I still get music and the nav system is running.

An in dash unit without internet access would not be using Google Maps. But you are correct, road closure reports can come from the local municipality. It can also come from users reporting it.

Unfortunately it way easier to report a road closed than to report that it's no longer closed. They should be able to see that cars are using the "closed" road and remove the closure but they don't and roads stay "closed" on the map for long periods of time.

I play PlayStation games on PC so I can easily use an Xbox Elite controller.

Rouge country? Don't you mean a green country? :D

I've barely touch my Xbox. Most of my gaming is on PC (Steam) now. Much better games from all the small studios.

I used the conversion trick 3 years ago so I wasn't even paying $20 per month. But due to that trick going away and the constant price increases and other reasons, I've made sure recurring billing was off on that subscription long ago. It's finally going to expire on the 11th this month.

Are you talking about digital game downloads or games that require you to always be online?

Because the licenses for digital games almost never get revoked. Usually that only happens when a publisher is forced to recall a game.

If you have a license for a digital game, you can still re-download from the respective online store it even if the game gets delisted and is no longer for sale.

Always online games are worse as it affects both digital and physical copies. Especially for single player games that unnecessarily need an online connection to play. When the publisher shuts down the servers, all versions of the game stop working.

Nobody wants to go to a theater to see crap when they can watch the same crap at home on streaming a few weeks (days?) later.

I have never had a dryer in my garage. My previous house had a laundry room adjacent to the garage but I'd have to unplug the dryer and use a really long EVSE cord with the door from the house to the garage open slightly all night. New house has the laundry room on the second floor.

The question is: do people have their dryer in their garage in California?

Standard socket in NA is 120V and the vehicle will draw 10 or 12 amps. You'd have to install a dryer socket in your garage so the vehicle can pull 24A at 240V.

You go from a charging rate of 7.68kW (240Vx32A) down to 1.44kW (120Vx12A). Every other outlet in the garage in NA is going to be 120V.

I could not get AppleTV to output bitstream. It outputs LPCM and Atmos is lost.

Also felt slower, taking longer to start playback.

Steam reformation of hydrogen uses methane. Nuclear reactors would produce hydrogen via electrolysis.

Yes it is a thing, but not used for nuclear production of hydrogen. Steam reformation uses 700C–1,000C steam to get hydrogen from a methane source like natural gas.

Nuclear uses electrolysis to produce Hydrogen.
