Yes I wasn’t clear. They aren’t obvious for rear seat passengers. They are in a reasonable and semi obvious place for front seat passengers. The very first time I was in a model y I pulled the emergency door pull thinking that was the handle.

The model Y has mechanical emergency door openers in the front. Not in the rear. It complains about possibly breaking window trim when you use them.

They are not super obvious though and you’d have to know in an emergency.

They seized a bunch of Linux devices with retroarch and roms that were probably actually worth a couple hundred thousand at market prices for these devices. You can get a handheld thing for under $40-50 on aliexpress and it comes filled with hundreds or thousands of roms and rom hacks.

These new snapdragon based windows laptops have to be a serious wake up call for intel. General personal computing is quickly moving away from x86 and the latest “efficiency” core processors from intel can’t compete.

I think intel is in serious trouble. The market is shifting away from x86 for mainstream computers and intel just can’t compete with ARM devices on power. These snapdragon based windows laptops coming out are performing really well for most use cases and it’s going to relegate x86 to just gamers and high end workstation use.

If you want something that lets you physically remove a WiFi card check out the frameworks laptop. Other than them there is no such thing as a “WiFi card” in laptops, it’s all fully integrated now and I’d be surprised to see a new laptop from factory without some version of WiFi built in.

Can’t patch cpu corrosion. They are going to have to address that.

Cars with heat pumps scavenge heat from the motor(s) as well.

Agreed. Fire tablets are garbage. Super slow, outdated tech designed to shovel ads at your kids.

The uncomfortable truth is the best tablet for kids is a new iPad Air. It’ll be up to date for its lifespan of years and the parental controls, ecosystem and screentime functionality make it great for kids.

You can hate Apple but as a parent the iPad is great for kids.

Can’t charge at all. PHEVs don’t really need fast charging anyway.

When these were being announced all the articles said first NACS cars would be on the market in 2025.

I’ve been pretty happy with kbin.social.
