If you enjoyed Twisted Metal, you will enjoy Fallout. Both are excellent TV adaptations of their respective games, and have a thick layer of dark humour underpinning the action. Twisted Metal was particularly surprising, I want to shake the hand of whoever was looking at that crusty old PS2 game and saw dollar signs for TV!

Back when I was getting into electronics, I used to drive around during hard waste collections on the lookout for interesting devices to pull apart. (One man's trash is another man's treasure!)

Honestly, it was shocking how many printers and scanners were being thrown out. Every second hard waste pile had one. These were devices that looked 3-4 years old at most.

Clearly many people employ your strategy, and the companies are to blame. The volume of waste they're incentivising with their business model is criminal. I hope HP get everything that's coming to them.

Super interesting outcome. I wonder if this case is now precedent for women sueing for access to membership at the various men's clubs?

The Xiaomi SU7 is a perfect example. Xiaomi took 3 years from concept to their very first car. That in itself is insanely impressive, let alone the fact it's a great EV with a tonne of self-driving capability to rival Tesla, and comes in far cheaper. Watch the YouTube video about Xiaomi's SU7 factory, it's very impressive.

Meanwhile Apple decided to pull the plug on their first car. It's pretty telling of the situation.

... isn't that the point of mechanical keyboards?

I feel like you could totally change the switch resistance with magnets. Electromagnetism goes both ways... apply a variable current to a coil in each key that repels it from or pulls it towards the base?

Shameful work on behalf of Ogilvy. And they wonder why people hate the advertising industry.

AliExpress is the worst at this. Which category should I disable? AliExpress, aliexpress, Chat or message push? And even if I figured it out, there's no way to stop store spammers from sending you useless messages constantly, detracting from actual sellers with questions.

Yeah I've seen plenty of HVAC and other auxiliary functions like radio moved to touch (and absolutely agree it shouldn't be legal), but never the five they're legislating in the article (horn, indicators, wipers, hazard, SOS). Imagine touchscreen indicator buttons! The market would rip them apart.

Wow, have any car manufacturers actually tried changing these functions to touch buttons? I know Tesla got rid of the stalks, but my understanding was they still had physical buttons on the wheel to replace them.
