EU also has very strong anti-spam laws (not sure how much is eu-level regulation and how much is local). It's probably been a decade since I received a spam call. I just reported it.

Is all open project, and it isn't paid. The origin no longer matters (to me). Is probably best described as a global project.

Depends on your date format. For it to be a problem to begin with, you need to use a date format with "/" as the separator. If it's 1st of Jan or Feb 1st then depends on the order.

And of course you need to enter an actual fraction, instead of like 0.5. This also narrows down the locations where this is an issue considerably. I think it's mostly north America where fractions are more commonly used instead of decimals die to the imperial system, but there might be other places where it's common, too, and I just don't know about it.

Witcher I thought was great. It's what an open world RPG should be. Interesting individual/small stories, great over all story, and good gameplay/fighting (actually challenging, but not dark souls levels).

During some random sale I had bought rdr2 for PC (steam). At the end of my refund time of 2h I had enough and just refunded. I wanted to play a game not watch a movie with mandatory walking between scenes. The only gameplay was some tutorial-esque shooting practice.

Or from their GitHub, be it manually or via Obtainium.

Why on earth is there no bar for subways or trains in general in the graph? Surely that's also a significant percentage, and would probably shrink the car percentage quite a bit. Cause if that portion of people "moving around" isn't even counted, that seems like more than just a slight oversight...

Oh you can't? Huh, wonder what will happen to him. Yes didn't think anything would. So I guess you can after all...

This really would surprises me. The article explicitly mentions it "has a compass", which I also interpret as "it has no gps". And Android Auto to my knowledge relies on the phone for this, not the car. So you can probably start the app and link the car, but I highly doubt it's actually usable?

That really kills any of my interest is the fact that it doesn't even have optimized battery life yet. Like what else would be the point of using eInk then? Also 400 dollar introductory price, apparently 500 later? That's a big ask...

Of course trains are better than cars. Of course these trains are better than no trains. Any progress in this area is welcome (and frankly unexpected in the States). But nothing changes the fact that there is nothing modern about these trains, which was all they stated.

Similar tech has been around for literal decades. Some BMW have a bonnet/hood that springs up when the car detects a pedestrian impact. It has a soft suspension and makes sure to move away from the actual engine and other rigid things directly behind it. Works great from what I've heard, but probably isn't exactly cheap.

The point isn't that you'd expect to replace any of those things at 100k Miles. But you might just get unlucky and one of those things break. If it's there, it can go bad, even if it probably won't. Electric cars
