Few years ago, we got a long term rental due to a wreck, and it was the first time weâ(TM)d ever experienced it. It was the middle of winter, cold and snowy, and the colder it got, the longer it took for the starter to kick in when we would come to a stop. A few times Iâ(TM)d come to an intersection, try to accelerate to get through it, but the car would turn off the split second before I accelerated, and I would be terrified I was going to be hit because I wasnâ(TM)t used to having to think âoeok, when I accelerate to pull out I need 3 seconds lead time for the car to crankâ after 20 years of not having that in my muscle memory. Iâ(TM)m guessing theyâ(TM)re better now, the rental is probably driven hard and may be slower to crank than a normal consumer car, and it was frigid out, but with that being my only experience, I donâ(TM)t ever want that feature. I tried to find out if I could disable it but this particular model did not have that option.

You can easily tell who isnâ(TM)t a software developer in these comments. I too immediately thought âoeoh well of course theyâ(TM)re disabling them thatâ(TM)s a security nightmareâ when the reports started coming in before Apple said a word about why.

Now is money an ulterior motive here? Of course it could be. If it wasnâ(TM)t theyâ(TM)d probably just lock PWAs to Safari.

Freshman year in high school there was a classmate of mine who still believed in Santa. The other boys found out and just literally ruined his entire worldview in the span of a few minutes in a brutal fashion. He literally ran crying out of the classroom. So yeah, it happens.

My dad had a Bronco back in the day with two gas tanks he could switch between, and when heâ(TM)d park it heâ(TM)d put the lever in between either position which effectively did the same thing, left the car essentially on empty though the fuel gauge would show it as a full tank. Helped him recover his car three times when it was stolen, they never made it more than two blocks.
