This breach is suspiciously close to their new forced arbitration in their terms of service.

Just wait until they include Amazon Sidewalk, so the TV can connect using your neighbor's internet connection to download the latest ads.

Microsoft removed crashes from Flight Simulator following the 9/11 attacks. If you want good destruction physics a combat focused simulator like DCS is probably more relevant than …

People (especially video professionals) tend to not use QuickSync because the quality is pretty low and you have very limited ability to tune the results. It's optimized for real t…

The E46 is pretty easy to work on, and the subframe thing they fixed for free (after some lengthy lawsuits). I took mine to 200k and never really had any big problems, just the usu…

This works if you have one of the wired systems, which are common on systems installed while the house was being built. All of the sensors are pretty easy to hook up, and there's e…

The problem is that some bands were never signed to a label, broke up before spotify got big, or for some other reason don't exist on any of the popular streaming sites. The proble…

I would get rim brakes over another set of cable disc brakes. I recently got a gravel bike as my "go anywhere" bike, and the cable disc brakes are absolute garbage, constantly goin…

You're probably thinking of Sega Channel [1] which was functionally like Microsoft's Game Pass that is available now. You knew that you would only have access to the games as long …

You can set it up for remote processing and use a zero W as just a remote, but you will definitely need something more powerful for speech.

I've had my eye on that one for a while. How do you like not having an escape or function keys? That's the biggest thing holding me back from getting it.

Have you heard about Automatic Ripping Machine [1] ? It basically automates what you're doing with MakeMKV and Handbrake, plus it will copy the entire disc contents onto your hard …

This was my experience as well. I had a Charge HR back when they first came out, and the glue holding the band to the display dissolved after about 4 months. Got a warranty replace…

I've been using an extension to avoid this common annoyance. https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-firefox also for Chrome: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-ch…

New electric cars have a low speed noise maker in the US (required by law after sometime this year), but most Teslas on the road now were built before this was a requirement.

Nah, I have a 3, and here is what it lacks compared to Android Auto: * Reading of messages * Replying to messages * Correct album covers for things like podcasts, audiobooks * Play…

I think Volvo's electric car is going to be doing this with some sort of deeper Android Auto integration

That was a feature they added later on when people started making pages that required the audio to be in sync with the gif. Flash would wait until both were fully loaded to start p…

This is true, the car can panic stop very quicky. The problem is I want to leave enough space to dodge pot holes that the car in front of me just drove over, since Autopilot can't …

I've been a paid user for about 4 years now, here are my main gripes: It doesn't have a calendar, so you can't send or accept meeting invites if that's something you need to do. Th…

I heard a proposal to tax tires instead, which I suppose would let EVs and hybrids pay their fair share (although it would probably cause more cheapskates to drive around on bald t…

It's a Goldman Sachs Mastercard with some Apple-specific perks, banks aren't going to be feeling anything.

Highway noise is mostly tire and wind noise, aside from the occasional loud engine. EVs will certainly reduce city street noise, but I'd bet highways will still be pretty loud.

The fact that it's still impossible to discuss it without someone resorting to personal attacks indicates that this was the right decision.

I used to do what you do and let the call through if they call back. Sometime in the past year I've gotten on some autodialer list that will hit me up 6 times within a 30 second pe…
