6.7" get that tiny shit away from me.

Itty bitty teeny weeny.

You're not officially banned. Yet. ;p

So stupid....

Wi-Fi 2.4-5 ghz is a decent radar spectrum.... These are technically microwaves. Radar often uses radio waves. Where one ends exactly and the other begins is arguable. They are neighbors in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Depending on specific frequencies that you pick within their ranges you might be able to penetrate through certain objects, detect certain things based on absorption (water, bodies), etc.

Wtf? You can pretty much play any game on steam without steam....

The efficiency peaks in the middle.

In cold conditions using the battery to heat itself is more efficient than not.

Your physics instinct is right in a vacuum.

Same speed should be the same kinetic energy.

But the real world adds losses, and those punish hard acceleration:

Electrical losses scale roughly with current², so flooring it wastes more as heat

Motor/inverter efficiency drops at very high power

Tires waste more energy under high torque (slip)

Drag starts biting earlier if you hit high speeds sooner (ever ride a bicycle?)

Moderate, steady acceleration is most efficient. Not crawling, not flooring it. Use ~30–60% pedal (middle way). Smooth, continuous push.

You can still have quick launches occasionally without wrecking your efficiency. Just don’t make it your default mode.

People always learn way too late to register redundant 2nd factors...

I used to work for Apple care. The amount of calls about lost/stolen/broken phones and inability to access their account was staggering.

I was also instructed to not educate them on how to set up an account without 2FA, instead using security questions, which allows instant account recovery (with the right answers).

They have a recovery option for 2FA, but it's absolutely not guaranteed and we're instructed to give no time frame. Could be weeks, months, or never. Really, the expectation should be never.

Well, the guy has access to your phone on your accounts, so it's possible he could have removed your second factor email since he's in possession of the second factor phone.

People don't need your passwords these days all they need is your unlocked device. This is why you should never let anyone borrow/use your phone (or any 2nd factor) unless you really know them...
