I mean I dunno about you but where I live it gets really fucking hot. And sometimes it rains. So something with a cabin and air conditioning is mandatory. I'm a big fan of electric micro-cars.
Honestly it's pretty smart. There's nothing you can say in the modern age that won't be intentionally misrepresented, misquoted, or otherwise twisted. Plus there's really no defending stupid decisions like this. Same reason Apple almost never comments on anything that isn't marketing. They know they can't justify their bullshit.
It's not "skipping over" anything. I was not commenting on the door latches. I was commenting on a specific failure to do with the battery exclusively. I commented elsewhere that the latches a terrible and stupid design. Every car should have mechanical door latches, inside and out. If for no other reason than simplicity and reliability.
Yes. They are. If they weren't, no one would have these problems. But they all do. I know everyone likes to pour over them with a microscope and drool over their flaws because they're Tesla, but many of the issues commonly attributed to them are common with all other OEMs, you just have a bunch of armchair engineers who don't know WTF they're talking about.
They degrade before they fail.
No shit
If tesla wanted to provide a warning of a failing battery that pretty much always worked it could have wired in a load test and went off voltage drop under a heavier load.
Once again, I did this for a living, for a decade. We would constantly have cars with failed batteries, we would bring them in, charge them up, test them, they would pass, we'd send them on their way, and they would fail again, and come back for replacement. Our load tests also tested the alternator.
I worked on BMWs for years and they would regularly come in with the same problem, with no warning, even though they had a similar detection algorithm that mostly worked.
A few months after opening a non-compliance case on Apple and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European Commission has shared its preliminary findings with Apple. And the bottom line is that the current App Store rules are in breach of the DMA. Confirmed violations of the DMA can lead to fines of up to 10% of global annual...
I think for this to work and be respected, they need to give companies this period
I would say the opposite is true. Apple knows exactly what the EU wants and is doing everything within their power to maliciously comply. Giving them 12 months is nothing but a free pass to exploit consumers for another year. Then they'll continue doing it because the EU has proven that they won't actually do anything about it.

Hey guys. Im running Home Assistant in docker container for few years and I'm super happy with it. The only way I access my server when not home is wireguard VPN. I noticed that I'm still receiving notifications even when not connected to VPN. I wonder how is that possible?...
The data these two companies receive includes metadata, detailing which app received a notification and when, as well as the phone and associated Apple or Google account to which that notification was intended to be delivered. In certain instances, they also might also receive unencrypted content, which could range from backend directives for the app to the actual text displayed to a user in an app notification.

Unsafe bath toys? That sounds bad. Your reason? Rubber bands and small parts? Okay well I don’t think that’s a problem if your kid is over the age of 3 or so. If less than 3, no reasonable parent would be leaving them unsupervised in the bath anyway.
If we could trust parents to supervise their children we wouldn't need any of these regulations. Reality is we can't. And even if you're a parent who is responsible with their children, many others are not.
It's quite predictable. This is the same story that's been told over and over: "it's really cool but not really practical". Pick it up and play with it for a few weeks, then get bored and never touch it again. iVR certainly moved VR forward but it didn't solve any of the fundamental problems that VR has had since its inception.
VR has 1 practical application, and that is gaming, and Apple has very little in the world of gaming outside of super basic 2D games.
The community response does not determine whether or not I have provided an answer. The fact that I already answered it proves that I did. Literally just scroll up. It's not that hard.
I dunno, there was a Taki Udom video a while back where he loaded Linux on it with emulators and it had dramatically improved performance in Minecraft.
