The only accomplishments of his is sometimes voting with democrats and being saner than the MAGA that will replace him. He was better than what we’ll get when he’s gone but it seems like he’s just finally going full republican now. Hopefully dems win enough seats to make up for his maga replacement.

For lots of people there isn’t.

Yeah but shouldn’t the power usage for the infotainment system be similar to a cell phone at this point with similar hardware where it really shouldn’t be possible to run a car battery dead during an update?

Usually the camera or other things. I usually upgrade every year because I’m on the upgrade program. Last year added the satellite SOS which meant I didn’t have to worry about no service. That and I took the opportunity to switch to the max because my eye sight got worse. I didn’t bother upgrading this year, I saw no reason. I don’t need USB-c, I use a MagSafe charger and have more lighting cables than usb-c. The feature to locate your friends using the ultra wideband chip is neat but requires your friends have a 15 as well. And I don’t really have a need for the shortcut button.

That’s the most ridiculous part to me. Why isn’t this able to continue off the car battery? It should be do not disconnect car battery if anything. I hope there’s some sort of fail safe to prevent it from bricking that doesn’t involve a factory reset or dealer visit.

So she didn’t drink water and despite there being lots of food besides “juice smoothies” that are vegan you think she died because she was vegan rather than because she was stupid?

They should have told you to read the second paragraph

The specific incident in question was a grand larceny case where two men tried (and failed) to steal a robot owned and operated by Serve Robotics, which ultimately wants to deploy “up to 2,000 robots” to deliver food for UberEats in Los Angeles. The suspects were arrested and convicted.

Of course they’re going to share video of a crime when the crime is someone trying to steal their property.

This person has posted this multiple times. They keep getting banned then making a new account. They’re trying to drive traffic to their crappy website. So highly doubtful it’s true.

This person keeps making new accounts and posting this kind of fake bullshit always from the same website trying to get traffic to their crappy site.

A lot of places in the US are too far for using antennas. In my area all you can pick up is a religious channel and a channel named infomercial tv.

I haven’t had that happen in forever but it used to happen constantly. A while back Apple changed how HomeKit worked (and had to roll it back for a while because it broke home sharing). I think that update is what fixed the no response problem.

Yes, I use HomeKit for everything and control it with Siri on my HomePod and Apple Watch as well. Everything works fine and there’s no noticeable lag.
