As some in the comments correctly point out, this service requires a cellular connection. Which involves costs for Mazda. It's appropriate for them to charge a small monthly fee fo…

WiFi 7 possibly?

Staffing isn't necessarily directly tied to profits. Just because a company is financially successful, does not automatically mean that it isn't overstaffed. I'm not saying that's …

But it IS as simple as eat less and exercise. And no, not everyone would do it. Everyone isn't doing it. Because people are lazy, want instant gratification, and consequence-free e…

Mentioning it only briefly seems a bit Pollyanna to me. Couching this as mostly a good thing is overlooking the terrifying implications it would have in the "wrong" hands. And that…

I've had three RX-7s. A first generation and two second generations. I drove the first until the wheels literally fell off (I was a young, stupid kid that ignored the crunching sou…

I stand by my (100% non-scientific) position that smoking bans would never have gained traction if cigarette smoke didn't smell. When all of this was being discussed in a serious m…

Exact same thing here. I reused the thin plastic bags as trash can liners. And I use the new, thicker ones, the same way. I'm contributing exactly the same number of bags back into…

It's not about "every day." It's about being able to hop in the car and just go at a moment's notice. Regardless of the distance. In an ICE car, that's a given. In an EV, it's murk…

Nobody seems to use them, anyway.

I'd wager that far more individuals use GMail and Google calendar and a majority of business users use O365/Outlook. This looks more like a home device than a business device.

Piracy isn't and never was "stealing." It's piracy. They are distinctly different things.

I stopped drinking fruit juice when, randomly, one day I stopped and thought about how many oranges it takes to make an 8oz. glass of orange juice (and no one drinks 8oz. at a time…

Gen Z also seems to want to "ship" every platonic relationship they are exposed to in media. I'm hearing them say one thing, and watching them do another.

So the general consensus from the comments appears to be that there are far more people wanting these jobs than there are jobs available. So the solution should be to discourage pe…

The link in the first paragraph basically takes you right to it. There's a second or so of lead time, but coupled with the text, it's pretty easy to get.

They really shouldn't require much thought in the end. Don't artificially keep people out of a particular profession. Don't artificially force people into a particular profession. …

Because "dongle" has a very specific, different meaning. A dongle allows connection between two devices that have mismatched connectors. If someone asked me for a dongle, I'd reply…

Well, the face of the government's response to the pandemic, Fauci, went on 60 minutes and stated flatly that masks didn't work. About a year later he went back on TV and was asked…

Bad analogy. This would be more akin to businesses telling consumers exactly how much a product costs to produce. And even that isn't a perfect analogy. Bottom line, my salary is t…

According to JMS, Warner-Brothers, which owns the rights, has absolutely zero interest in remastering B5. Which really sucks.

Everything everyone posts on Twitter can be used by anyone for any reason. It's in the Twitter TOS. Disney didn't even need to post anything, they could have just used your tweets …

Exactly. The big tobacco companies, while playing in the e-cig space, would MUCH rather see it go away. They completely own the tobacco market. They have a never ending stream of c…

That may not actually be true: https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/study-finds-nicotine-sa...

For the most part, the podcasts I listen to are independent. I'm not all that concerned about a megacorp coming in and destroying things. If Apple and Google couldn't do it, I thin…
