I had my Tesla slam on its brakes from 55 mph because it was convinced the car sitting at a stop sign at a crossroad was about to turn into my lane. Last time I trusted Autopilot in anything other than stop-and-go traffic. Not really in a hurry to find out if the Ioniq I have now does it any better.

Give me fully autonomous vehicles on roads where human drivers aren't allowed, or let me keep control, thank you very much.

I've seen most of them already, but I'm currently bouncing between Person of Interest and iZombie for this vibe

Yeah, I had an old boss who was diagnosed with it while he was still in college. Slim, healthy, even on a full night's sleep he'd been falling asleep in class. The common risk factors aren't the ONLY risk factors

I feel bad for the studios that are facing uncertainty in this situation, but I'm selfishly relieved. This is the only way I'm going to get to play State of Decay 3 and the new Senua game, if they can secure a publisher and complete development. There is zero chance I will buy another Xbox unless there's a colossal restructure of the market in the next generation, and there's no way I'm going back to Windows.

I had to toss my OnePlus 9 because of this. The cell radio stopped working and the only way to revert the upgrade was to factory reset. My phone is used for two-factor authentication for work, so I can't be having downtime because I'm busy doing QA for your shitty phone.

Imagine paying for ads...

This is one of those headlines for a problem I had no idea existed

And dogs at least can do okay with bucket seats. I drove an Oldsmobile Silhouette ^(the Cadillac of minivans!)^ for years, and my dog was just tall enough that he could sit between the driver and passenger seats and look out the front windshield. He was at the perfect height for head scritches while I drove down the highway.

I remember when he got a bit too hefty to sit there comfortably. The automatic seat adjustment controls were on the right side of the driver seat and one time I suddenly found myself being pushed into the steering wheel at a stop light. His jelly rolls had started pressing in on the little joystick.

I miss that dog. The van was just okay.

Here is a 486 taking over three minutes to boot.

The person you replied to countered a broad generalization with an anecdote which probably matches the lived experience of most of us oldies who lived through the time. Your comment did not contribute to the conversation.
