The world we've built is built for our shape -- bipedal, upright. While specialist shapes can be useful in limited circumstances, a bipedal human-shaped robot would be adaptable to the world that already exists.

It doesn't, actually. The official description from the IEC says:

Emphasis mine. The standard test for IPX7 is submersion in still water to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. IPX8 is "better than that". Apple, Google, Samsung, etc. all define how much better on their own. CNBC has an excellent video explainer on what exactly all this means.

These companies are designing to protect against people dropping their phone in the toilet, or maybe a kiddie pool. And yeah, as called out in the CNBC video, the advertising is very deceptive and unfair.

I'm aware of how they handle the recall. My 2 year anniversary with my Ioniq 6 was last Friday. (No more free EA DCFC for me.)

My point was the total number of cars that were repaired after an ICCU failure is very small. Lots of manufacturers have recalls, including for parts that can cause a vehicle to stop running. Ford is the worst. Every vehicle lineup has their issues, so just putting it in perspective.

2 years for me, no ICCU issues. No charging issues. They did replace my interior door panels under warranty for peeling clear coat.

A tiny number of cars, but with very vocal responses because gotta drive them clicks!

Statistically, just 1% of the roughly 200,000 vehicles involved in the recall can have their ICCUs fail, which is 2,000 cars. Out of all the cars that are part of the latest recall for the failing ICCU, 41,137 Hyundai and Genesis EVs have already been fixed by Jan. 22, while another 14,828 Kia EV6s have had the remedy applied. Motor Trend concurred in a recent look at the issue: "Itâ(TM)s a big deal, but not one that individual E-GMP owners are statistically likely to face."

This could have been even funnier if, instead of French for "Viva la revolution", you used the Esperanto "Vivu la revolucio!".

Nobody. They're replacing them with universal chargers that have BOTH. And support credit-card readers, which the Tesla ones didn't. And upgrading them from the v3 400V 175kW Tesla chargers to Applegreen's 800V 350kW.

Tesla's contract ended. It was rebid. Tesla lost. Elon whines and throws a tantrum.

Yeah, I have a Windows 10 VM for a couple pieces of software, along with some security testing. Garmin Express is installed on that.

I had this happen this morning to a Forerunner 165. Plug the device in via USB to your computer, then do a hard reset -- select/back/light, push and hold until it beeps then the triangle fades. The watch will reboot.

Not sure what triggered it, but I then used Garmin Express to ensure the watch firmware was up to date. Seems to still be working.

No, it is definitely not "all". There are a lot that don't come with them because they flat out don't need them.

Three nights ago we hit a low of 7.6F (-13.5C). I have two Mr. Cool DIY 4th Gen units, one a single zone 18K ceiling cassette, the other a 3-zone configured 12K ceiling, 9K wall, 9K wall. No issues and everything is warm, but the system has to work. I say that because I live in a 120 year old house and the insulation is terrible to non-existent and the windows are the originals. Always another project...

Take a look over at DIY Solar forums, where people are trying to minimize electricity usage. While some people do have gas/oil, there are many that are 100% electric, including several in Canada and Alaska, and they're all reporting everything is working fine in temps colder than I had. It really depends on the units you buy, but the Mr. Cool DIY 4th Gen mini-splits are rated down to -13F (-25C) for heating. They do make cold weather units that go even lower.
