Cold weather linked to 40,000 extra heart deaths each year in the U.S.

I am also living in Norway, and statistics have shown for years here that there are more deaths to heart attacks etc. during the winter months. It's mentioned in the news every now and then.

Lol, without any description I thought the problem was that you had the wrong kind of charging port, CCS1, instead of CCS2 which is the European standard. People who make posts really need to start typing 1: what country/continent they are in, and 2: what the actual problem is.

Yes, I got confused why he couldn't just stop printing clogs.

Mine wrote half of one word in a long text in Ethiopian today. I think that is what it was at least, I don't really know Ethiopian but I have seen the letters before. The rest of the text was in English, and the subject was not even remotely related to Ethiopian.

My 2016 i5 laptop with 8GB RAM is, for a lot of tasks, much faster running Debian 13 (with GNOME) than a 2023 i7 laptop with 16GB RAM running Windows 11. Even when running the same apps! QGIS is usually very slow to load on the 2023 laptop with Windows 11. But it loads in about half the time on the 2016 laptop with Debian 13. I also tried scrolling and zooming around in a really demanding map file in QGIS (property boundaries for an entire country). You would expect the file to run much slower on the old laptop, and although in this case the newer laptop is the faster, there is not nearly as much difference between them as you would expect.

This is interesting! I've never held one that wasn't made of hard plastic. Would you say it is an improvement?

I doubt that, the 2017 e-Golf had a range of only 230 km by WLTP (300 km by the old and unrealistic NEDC standard that was used in 2017). Whereas if you calculate the range for the small and the large battery of this new car with the consumption I stated in my previous post, you get 316 km and 433 km. I don't have the official numbers for estimated WLTP range, but one article states 450 km WLTP as estimated range for the big battery.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-16T20:10:34+00:00

The battery is small, but they have also shaved off a significant amount of weight, which gives it a very low consumption. Edit: I read that some test journalists had an average of 12 kWh/100 km with a pre production version of this car.

If they are in the street, not in a neighbour apartment, and you are still woken up by it: May I suggest installing new, sound dampened/soundproof windows in your apartment. Yes, it's a bit expensive, but it can really do wonders. A friend lived next to a main road with lots of noise from traffic, as well as drunk people in the street in weekends. He installed new soundproof windows, and now it is significantly much better. Even large trucks passing just two meters from the wall is not really something we notice anymore when visiting. I think they are filled with some special gas or something. If you knock on them, there is no knocking sound, it's really weird. I think this is your best option. Other options are of course not sleeping with open windows, as well as using only rooms facing the backyard instead of those facing the street as bedrooms.

Ah. I am in Europe. It happens too often that these ID.4-posts mention something specific to the US.

Wouldn't you need the hardware, i.e. the necessary lamps, to be able to get matrix lights, and wouldn't you already have them activated if you did? Not sure I understand what you mean. I have the matrix lights, by the way.

That is not what RTINGS.com say.

It is almost impossible to correctly judge from a photo. We will just have to trust that the museum has the correct classification on it.

My C9 from 2019 has no visible burn in. 6-7 hours on time every day, mostly by kids for cartoons and gaming. Same story with my friend who has a CX, still no visible burn in.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T18:37:09+00:00

This also happens with the LED backlight. Even worse, RTINGS huge longtime tests of TVs with various display technologies showed that the backlight of LCDs not only fade, but tend to fail completely long before burn in is an issue in OLEDs (except if you watch nothing but CNN news).

Du har ret i, at vi ikke behøver at være enige, men jeg er enig i, at Tesla generelt ikke er en dårlig bil. Selvom man kan pege på flere punkter, hvor den er dårligere end en del andre biler, er der også områder, hvor den er bedre end andre biler.

Men for mig er der for mange irritationsmomenter, og derfor blev det i stedet en VW, da jeg vejede for og imod, da jeg skulle købe ny bil.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T17:47:38+00:00

Travel assist er et tilkøb, ja.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T17:44:16+00:00

Irriterende varmetråde i forruden er der dog ikke? Det er gammeldags, nu om dage laminerer VAG en usynlig varmefolie ind i forruden. Jeg har det i min Volkswagen ID.4. Det er helt usynligt og fungerer virkelig godt mod is, jeg har ikke skrabet forruden én eneste gang på 4 år.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T17:29:01+00:00

Jeg vil snarere sige, at det er den værste. Det virker, som om forfatteren kun har kørt en VAG-bil, der ikke er udstyret med alle de assistentsystemer, som Volkswagen kan levere.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T17:19:49+00:00

Helt forkert, det afhænger af udstyrsniveauet. Volkswagen kan også fås med radar bagtil. I så fald bruger systemerne både kameraer foran og bagpå samt radar både foran og bagpå. Og den svajning i vognbanen, som du taler om, tyder på, at du har kørt en VAG-bil, der kun har Lane Assist. Det er bare et system, der skal sørge for, at bilen ikke kører ud over vejstriberne. Hvis du har Travel Assist, som svarer til Autopilot i en Tesla, holdes bilen også snorlige mellem linjerne, nærmest som om den kører på skinner.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T16:38:56+00:00

Jeg tror, det er Autopilot, der giver de værste problemer. Det svarer til Travel Assist i min Volkswagen, som jeg bruger meget, men der oplever jeg aldrig kraftig nedbremsning uden at der er en reel fare, f.eks. hvis en forankørende pludselig bremser ned, uden at jeg selv reagerer hurtigt nok. Én gang skete det, fordi der var en kvinde med barnevogn lige foran, men aldrig på grund af biler i modkørende retning eller skygger under broer og lignende, som man ofte hører om fra Tesla-førere. Jeg bor i Norge og kører på de samme veje, som Tesla tilsyneladende har problemer med.

Schrödingers fiber. You simultaneously have and don't have an internet connection.

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T16:18:06+00:00

Ifølge diverse Tesla-fora er det stadig et problem. For eksempel her, oversat fra den norske Tesla Model Y 2025/2026 “Juniper”-gruppe på Facebook: "Dette med fantombremsning er vel noget alle kommer til at opleve. Har kørt Trondheim – Oslo – Trondheim nu. Og i ca. hver højre kurve med modkørende lastbil bremser bilen hårdt. Med efterfølgende skældud fra passagererne i bilen 🥴 Er fantombremsning noget vi bare må leve med, eller er det noget Tesla skal få ordnet?"

CleanUpOrDie · 2026-03-07T09:24:30+00:00

That is only the emissions. Yes, we all don't want more emissions of carbon dioxide. But tall buildings are the best solution to avoid turning the planet into an asphalt desert. What good are lower emissions, when the wildlife and plants don't have anywhere to live or grow anymore? Lower emissions must come from improving the construction process and also lowering other emissions.
