Fortunately we don't have those machines... Yet.

I guess you haven't tried Fable or Astra yet for a complex task that would require intelligence.

On a DSG gearbox the interval is 65k km. You should also change the transmission fluid in a regular automatic and a manual transmission. Some cars have a service interval for those transmissions and some don't. The "lifetime" oil statement is a lie.

It refers to the design lifetime of the vehicle. Usually accurate. Mileages may vary.

Why is it off putting? Someone could be using a phone or a concealed omnidirectional microphone for this and you wouldn't know. You never know who's recording you anyway.

Room temperature. Most foldables have a real glass layer (not the top layer though) which somehow bends.

You can make it so much better than stock with proper insulation and speaker elements. Car manufacturers often use 5€$ elements which sound like shit.

You can't have a proper soundstage in a car no matter your setup, which kinda degrades a lot of music that wasn't designed for clubs. In a car it's basically background music when you're driving because you can't really give the music your full attention anyway (passive listening), where the lack of focus also masks a lot of details you'd hear on a proper stereo system (active listening).

Edit: to answer your question below, I like both, active and passive listening. But I wouldn't try to optimize for active criteria like details in a passive evironment like a car, so I'd spend more money on fun things like buttkickers instead of high end detail.


Obviously a car isn't a dedicated listening room. Music can be enjoyed by just listening to it and not focusing on all the nuances. Or are you one of those hardcore audiophiles who can't listen to music without a ultra high end sound system?

Also soundstage can be greatly improved by placing speakers on non factory locations because manufacturers usually prioritize packaging above all else. A tweeter placed at the bottom of the A-pillar near the windshield is the worst possible location and sounds like it was put in a tin can.

Background noise in a car also has a solution, turning up the volume. Plus getting quiet tires.

Music lovers buy stereo systems to listen to their music.

Samsungs commercial grade signage displays have become quite smart and so have LGs.

> commercial grade signage displays

If there is ever a campaign where people smash these, I’m in.

Driving around a shopping strip while the damn things flash and change is awful. It’s distracting too, and seems likely to cause crashes.


The European nations are not unified similarly to the USA because we do not have the common history of being a bunch of immigrant colonies glued together.

> Then you get there all bright eyed and it's just a bunch of boomers squabbling to fuck each other over to get 0.03% tax advantages on peach liquor exports for their region.

Congratulations, you summed up how politics work in all regions of the world.


You don't drive to islands.

Bridges are a thing

Yeah, and they require a place to build. Do you think bridges between the Hawaiian islands is feasible?

Report recently from my area.

There was no mention of Hawaiian Islands in the comment.

To your question… Feasible: no; Possible: yes.


> If that author is right, then we can and should punish the people responsible for global warming?

So every adult human and corporation?


We can start with people who got paid to make sure no action was taken against global warming - such as everyone working at CATO, like the author of this article...
