I’ve pulled one of those wireless trimmers apart when it quit working. I found a rechargeable AA battery soldered in there.

It starts like that and then the people running scripts and other power players take over

And widely known. Once it’s started, most people know what you’re going for.

I think this is a good thing. This place is a gem that is hard to find and not fitting for everyone.

It would be news, and even harder to believe as real news.

Yeah, I’m having trouble seeing this as real news.

Adding to this, Devolution by Max Brooks. Book only

I also like earth based hard sci-fi with some mystery and horror. This book hits all three points, and is very character driven on top of that.

I see “but it does gps!” As an excuse in favor of the oversized screens. But a heads up display, reading aloud turn by turn directions, or even a set of lights to indicate where you should go would do the same thing better

And I’d like to have a word with them… About how good their idea is!

That’s a great start. I am dreaming of some kind of a full dashboard and center console replacement. While I’m at it, I may as well dream of having the money to afford a car that would be new enough to need such an upgrade plus be able to afford the upgrade itself.

I think the driver should definitely have radio controls, just not through a touch screen. Passenger touch screens should be for their entertainment and their own heating/cooling settings. I think the passenger controls should have nothing to do with the way the car drives and handles, or headlights, wipers, anything like that.

My opinion is that touch screens should be for passengers only. Display screens are fine, but if physical buttons are so unacceptable, then we need voice control that actually works.

Also, I’m surprised no one has started a company to retrofit buttons and switches into modern cars. Whatever kind of headache that would be to design and install, I’d like to see it work.

same. Pick coordinates and what to say. I’ve seen Kbin.com and lemm.ee suggested as short and to the point banners that could be more doable in the chaos of r/place

If there can be a consensus between switching to lemm.ee or Kbin, I’d love to lend my pixel to either of those.

This story is big enough that NPR cares to talk about it?

Google, duck duck go when I don’t want to see ads for days based on what I’m searching, Bing and Perplexity when I want to avoid doing a series of searches to learn something.
