This election was different in that the polling leading up to the election was more incorrect than usual, but in the opposite way as previous recent elections. People made financial decisions based on those bad polls. This wasn't the usual midterm backlash.
To follow up, my guess is that it's "Bandy" which is a predecessor of ice hockey with sticks and skates, sometimes called ice hockey, but with a much larger rink and less contact:
No, it really isn't. You're not allowed hit other players.
In shinty a perfectly acceptable tackle is to hook someone's legs out from under them and then hit them as they go over to make sure they stay down for a bit.
> My Tesla gets regular software updates, has upgradable hardware, and won't be subject to these kinds of issues for decades.
Teslas from four years ago with Intel Atom processors and HW3 are already getting different and lesser updates than new Teslas, without any hardware upgrade plan in place.
A Tesla you buy right now is running HW4 which is inferior to current Cybercabs and HW5 has already been announced.
I had a luxury car from 2001 where the time could not be manually changed, only set to specific time zones. Of course, all the time zone rules had long diverged from its rule set, and it had to be changed four times a year to show the correct time.
This car also inexplicably forced you to manually choose a country, and then a time zone, despite having a GPS that already knew exactly where you were and already had chosen a previous time zone.
Carplay is nice but I would have settled for a non-luxury "clock set" button.
My 2019 Subaru has a red 7-segment LED clock below the touchscreen that has 2 physical buttons right there that change the hour and minute. It's a luxury I don't think I'll soon take for granted. I changed my battery recently (the original OEM battery finally got too tired), so I've set my clock twice in the last week, taking about 10 seconds and 1/2 second to accomplish respectively.
I can't wait until folks start pulling firmware out of head units, using AI to remove the crap, and putting it back in (akin to the TV revolution happening now)
There's really cheap bluetooth remotes available on aliexpress, most also come with a usb dongle.
I bought one for $5 and was surprised by the quality. It has an accelerometer to control the mouse as well. Great for presentations. It's a G20S Pro BT but there were lots of other alternatives.
I'm not using that setup, but I just don't use remote control at all. The TV control is done through the "single-button interface". I guess you could say XBox controllers are remote controls.
> Carplay is nice but I would have settled for a non-luxury "clock set" button.
The clock set button is obviously the right solution, but this is actually why I demand CarPlay on any infotainment system in a car. I don't trust the manufacturers will keep it up to date, but I know my phone software will be updated/updateable/replaceable.
I live in a region that changed time zones just 2 days ago and my brand new 6-month old car now as an incorrect rule set and presents the wrong time when synced with GPS.
It has no over-the-air update capability so it seems like this sync-with-GPS feature is now broken for me unless the manufacturer puts out an update to be done at the dealership.
(in NZ) I have a 2005 import from Japan with time set by GPS, but apparently no way of changing the time zone away from Japan. The navigation still thinks I'm in Japan too but randomly flying around at high speeds too - even the compass calibration is way off. I too would rather have a manual clock set.
We'll always wonder if the iPhone Mini would still be around if Apple positioned and priced it as a specialty premium device, like the iPad Mini, instead of a worse mainstream iPhone.
Apple's been trying (in vain?) to sell iPad users a Magic Keyboard for six years and add a windowing system to iPadOS to pretend it's a real operating system, so I suppose they're trying to bridge the gap from the opposite (Macbook) side.
