I'm old. Was anyone else's reaction to wonder what Uber was doing for audio-video companies? The original title says "self-driving" and that's much more clear.

That's a great Freudian slip. Morse code - dots and dashes for characters via light or telegraph or radio Morris code - Robert Morris wrote the first internet worm https://en.wikip…

https://www.evchargerreviews.net/best-ev-home-charger-for-hy... You're right that the poster used V when they meant KW but the Level 3 DC Charging Curve graph shows what I think th…

There are the risks you mention plus 3 things that I've heard: 1) You lose any close-up vision that you have. I take off my glasses to read things like books or my phone. Hmmm. Ver…

Adaptive cruise control lets you set a speed, usually the speed limit, and then you just have to steer. In a gas car that means the car is using the brakes and gas engine (obviousl…

I'm doing the opposite: I respond immediately but use Gmail's scheduled send to send it at a later time. This does have two disadvantages: I do read everything and sometimes I see …
