If you look at Volvo or smart, we are probably already on that route. Had great hopes for the ID.Polo but from what I've seen it's just another vehicle that gets really expensive f…

More often that not I think this is a cheap excuse. When you look at struggling companies (take the car industry for example), I think the issue is more about missing innovation an…

Just looked at mine and wondered whether I should 3D print a cover for the contacts from TPU. Thanks for the idea! edit: Done. :-D Better safe than sorry.

Thank you for your work! Just installed the plugin, hope it will ease the pain of finding things on Amazon. :-D edit: lol. tried searching for USB C flex cables. WHOLE search resul…

Do these versions get regular updates or are they expected to run on air-gapped machines so nobody really has to take care of them?

No problem! Former colleague had an EQB and I nearly hit another car on the Autobahn because cruise control was not breaking when I got closer. That was really unexpected as that w…

Each km/h over the speed limit can decide between coming to a stop at the right moment or killing somebody. Don't try to put it into the wrong perspective. The beeping is fine.

Well, just don't drive fast than the speed limit and nothing will beep at you. Simple as that. Positive side effect: No expensive photos will be taken, too.

Mercedes is terrible for EVs. Adaptive Cruise Control for example is a paid feature with a recurring subscription. Don't encourage "Car as a Service" concepts.

> There's no way it can cause local wood to become less competitive with imported wood. But isn't that what we're seeing around the world? Be it cheaper labor, political control or…

Yeah, I always thought that, especially after seeing that the producer is a beauty company... :-D

Can you get 3DLAC in Japan? That's what I'm using with great success. Otherwise maybe try some hair sprays, that worked in 2011, too... :-D

Lol, same thing for Android, too. It has full access to my contact list, but if I tell it to "Call Stephan Beier" I see the transcript for "Beyer" and then it fails. That sounds th…

> will re-enable itself every time you turn on the car I think that's only for the speed limit alarms. Wouldn't have that if people would stick to limits, I guess...

Or just buy bottled water. If you're only doing Espressi, a 1 liter bottle can take you a long way and comes in under 1 Euro.

Yes, but you'll usually have to make an appointment for that and especially in larger cities or communities this might take quite a time. So, yeah, 8% on the hand, waiting for week…

See! 12 o'clock! MADNESS!

Hah! Try exiting the church in Germany then. ;-) But besides that it's really okay.

This is all such a strange take. What do you think would happen, what's the expectation? Everybody goes out and starts shooting down their local police force? The military? I just …

Again, a bit naive, but that actually sounds okay to me. You'll learn to use the gun responsibly and in a controlled manner. What else would you want to do with it and why?

True! What I meant is that I think German police, for example, are probably less worried that a traffic stop is likely to get them killed or have them escalate a situation to the u…
