Assisted full self driving is an oxymoron.

Nah cut here to open is worse. It’s always an inch above where you actually need to cut.

Sometimes I read highly pivoted comments with info that is plain wrong and think I’m taking crazy pills.

This whole thread is very pedantic but in chemistry when someone refers to chlorine, they are usually referring to Cl2. I think in IUPAC naming chloride is reserved for for ions. Like dichloromethane (IUPAC) and methylene chloride (also common name).

Interesting. I guess it’s different strokes for different folks. I’m not a fan of the bump on the naked phone but I also have a Spigen case and actually appreciate the bump.

The Pixel 8 is a little big in my hands so with a secure grip, to me being fingers on one edge pressing the phone into my palm, I can’t reach the full screen. It’s also uncomfortable to hold it that way for long periods. So often I have the phone with my fingers on the back and my pointer touches the bump, keeping it from sliding, even at steep angles. I don’t find the corners harsh but maybe they have worn down somewhat so they are no longer as sharp?

In April, Alfa Romeo, which is another Italian brand under Stellantis, decided to rename its new, Poland-made Milano model as Junior following pressure from authorities.

This seems like they are going too far. Plenty of cars are named after places and it has never once occurred to me that they were literally made there.

I don’t think the wider population would accept the compromises necessary for a million miles vehicle. There is always a balance between component longevity, cost, performance, features, and safety.

They can exist but I don’t forsee wide adoption due to it being wildly expensive and/or bare bones in terms of contemporary features.

I use binder clips for a really secure hold.
