Get sterilized while you still have the chance

Just because the cartridge slot is compatible with old Switch games doesn't necessarily mean they can't use a different communication protocol for the new cartridges to prevent them from getting dumped

In fact, that is almost guaranteed to be the case, because otherwise the Switch 2 would be launching with a flashcard available for it on day 1.

Blue shift is still possible

Seems incredibly unlikely at the moment. It would need a miracle

Soon that may no longer be possible :(

Touchscreens are great to have, controlling Android Auto or Apple Carplay with physical buttons like you have to do in a Mazda is a nightmare.

The problem is when the touchscreen is used as a replacement for physical controls, instead of an addition. Stuff like controlling your climate control should not be exclusively controlled through the touchscreen

And don't even get me started about VWs stupid decision to put touch controls on the steering wheel. At least they backpedaled on that decision pretty quickly

My dream car is from the 90s and people still generally regard them as fairly reliable

I would not want to share the road with modern oversized cars while driving a car with 90s crash safety

I drive a Miata as a 2nd car for weekend fun, but it's not a real option as a daily driver if you value your life

Not to mention that it uses 8 liters of gas per 100km, whilst my daily driver averages 12wkh per 100km

It will be slower than 5g mmWave, but faster than 4g at the same frequency

The guy you answered to is actually not correct, see my reply to him. 5g can and does use the same frequencies as 4g, the upper frequency limit is just higher but those are only used in dense cities. Rural 5g installations use the same low frequencies as 4g and get better range than 5g at those frequencies

5g exists at different frequencies, just like 4g.

The lowest 4g frequency is 410mhz, and the lowest 5g frequency is 450mhz

The range of a 5g tower can be the same or higher than a 4g tower depending on the frequency used.

I think your confusion seems to come from the existence of 5g mmWave, which is sometimes uses synonymously with 5g. But 5g mmWave towers actually make up only a small fraction of 5g installs, the majority is using the same frequency band as 4g, and when comparing 5g to 4g at the same frequency then 5g actually even has a small range advantage

We already have road legal level 4 self driving cars for sale in Germany (Mercedes EQS and S Class), level 5 isnt far away.

If Tesla didn't go the vision-only route they would probably also have level 4 autonomy by now

The terminator itself may not be very realistic, but Skynet absolutely is

You just need a bit of practice. I also broke the rear glass on my first attempt repairing a glued phone, but it only took until my 3rd attempt to get it done without cracking it.
