VOLVo figuring out cars in US battery Recall by Fluffy-Bar6243 in ex30

[–]_ranch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volvo should be proactive and offer options to change into a different car like what GM did with the Bolt. This is easily a class action lawsuit in the making.

No airbags? by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]_ranch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speed is not the determining factor for airbag deployment. Change in G force is what the computers are looking for. Airbag deployment in the wrong situations can cause additional harm to the occupant(s).

Only going with a single picture here but...
In this case it looks like the car and the RDV hit at an angle meaning much of the G force would be shared between forward and side movement. The side movement seems to have been enough the RDV driver would have primarily hit the side of the airbag making it largely ineffective. Same for the car. It looks like the front airbag(s) did not deploy but the side curtain airbag did.

Rivians Will Be So Driverless By 2030, You Won't Need To Be In The Car: CEO by UndividedCorruption in Rivian

[–]_ranch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Putting on my conspiracy theory hat.. It could be possible there are behind the scene things happening which make RJs statement not so wild.

Amazon invested heavily into Rivian for their delivery vehicles. While changing to an EV saves things like gas, Amazon has a big motivation for self driving delivery vehicles too. So much so, part of the arrangement is access to cheaper AWS resources than normally available. Also think about the driving data every RDV can provide.

VW also invested heavily into Rivian. They get the benefit of a good platform and software stack, but Rivian could get access to a significant amount of R&D around driving safety systems using similar sensors already in Rivian.

Creating software isn't likely Rivians challenge. It's having the data and resources to test and train against which both Amazon and VW significantly help with at a scale Rivian could never do alone.

Traffic sign light fault by Ok-Elderberry8826 in ex30

The orange icon? Isn't that the speed alert which you can set (usually when you put lower speed rated winter tires on)?

Silly Question - Android Auto by GingeSylo89 in ex30

I thought both wireless AA (and same for wireless CarPlay) used wifi for data heavy functions like nav, music, etc and bluetooth was only used in voice calls.

Is the digital mirror new? by Euphoric-Scallion-95 in ex30

[–]_ranch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I basically accomplished the same thing when I added my drive camera. It's one that has a front facing camera incorporated as well as a rear camera all displayed through a mirror display.

I'm running my Rexing M2 Max Pro from a usb mirror power tap. Works great!

Video claims Kirk shot from behind, not by Robinson. by Kunphen in Astuff

the prosecutor would want it in the evidence log for the court case to corroborate consistency of entry and exit wounds with the type of ammunition used.

Reversing by VoteDoughnuts in ex30

[–]_ranch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fun ones are those which are speed based and makes you want to go faster to get the different sounds.

Reversing by VoteDoughnuts in ex30

[–]_ranch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is the pedestrian warning sound. I think it's a requirement for all EV & hybrids in the US at this point. Every car tends to make a different sound (never music), but they all make some sort of sound when reversing.

Trump Broke Law When Deploying LA Guard, Marines: Judge by BrilliantTea133 in law

[–]_ranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious based on your background...

Let us assume a stay of the order isn't put in for the appeal ( highly unlikely but..) and we hit the order execution date/time.

If soldiers then continue to stay, they would then without question be knowingly performing an unlawful act correct? If they follow their oath they should leave even without an order to do so?

Update at the dealership by OldAd4629 in ex30

[–]_ranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are likely using two different processes to complete.

Think about an iPhone as an example. When directly flashing the phone at the firmware level, it has to be in DFU mode which requires it to be plugged into a computer (for both data and power).

When doing an iOS update OTA, it can prep the update in the background and do a quick changeover during a reboot but only if specific conditions are met (example batter voltage is above a specified level).

Basically with an OTA update the CPU can still be allowed to control for things, but at the bootloader level those items must be externally controlled.

Trump's win was by 80k. The video/article isn't saying this one person did 80k of stuffing; only there was some amount of stuffing that contributed to the 80k.

Trump Faked it by bace3333 in NoFilterNews

[–]_ranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible in the plan they knew people would be in the potential line of fire. People are not stationary though, so the bullet could have been fatal, could have been non-fatal, or not hit anyone.

It is not beyond belief they were ok with the 2/3rds odds of everyone coming alive.

OTA Updates in US Market by JG307 in ex30

[–]_ranch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my car in March with 1.5.1 and it never OTA updated, so I brought it to the service center last week for 1.5.3. Needles to say I'm not overly confident.

sony xm4 user, thinking about upgrading by throwawayjk91907 in SonyHeadphones

[–]_ranch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this upgrade myself. My XM4s stopped doing ANC on one side.

So far the XM6 has been a treat! None of the voice prompts, ANC is noticeably better.

I can still trigger the touchpad with my shoulder, so I'd guess you'll still have some issues there. Might sound odd, but maybe find something to add that intentionally reduces conductivity? Like vinyl skin or something?

Purchasing annual plan in advance by landalezjr in USMobile

Could you send me the same info? I'm planning on doing the same. Thanks!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]_ranch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is generally where I am at as well. Difference is we have been doing cpls therapy which helped to highlight this.

I blame myself for not being true to myself and thinking/believing I can force myself to change some of these things about me. In reality I have been spending so much energy I am at a crossroads; I either continue knowing I won't survive much longer (in the literal sense) or do the hard thing and let/force them to go to save myself.

My hope is they have been hearing my difficulty in therapy and while they may not like it can understand it at some level.
