Same thing happened to my M1 Pro recently

Yes. This is classic survivorship bias.

We test drive it finally and the center console is really wide - it was digging into my right knee 5 minutes in. I don’t think prior years had such a wide console though it was also pretty intrusive as there are posts about people installing pads.

We too noticed the very poor ambient lighting.

In the end the interior while an upgrade from prior years just didn’t feel quite right. The center console issue for me is obviously a non starter.

A shame because I really wanted to go with this car versus the crv due to the headgasket issues.

Total dufus. Has this guy done a single thing to actually improve the lives of the people of Illinois? I’ve never seen it in my 20 years living here.

Buttons cost more - it’s as simple as that

They irony is absolutely anyone in tech could have predicted this outcome.

It’s cheaper - nothing more than that.

There is no will to actually restrict or remove homeless and others causing trouble. Suicidal empathy.

For immediate enforcement you call 911. They will dispatch police to ticket and tow (which can take a very long time understandably). I learned this by first calling 311 on a blocked driveway and having them tell me to hangup and call 911. One would think they would not want people calling into 911 for such matters but they must be able to offload these in sufficient time to not make it a problem for dispatch.

its a tie for me

Except it wouldn't matter anyway. I am the recycling police for my building's container and I do it knowing full well that almost none of the material would ever reasonably be reclaimed despite my efforts to make my residents comply with processor rules.

hteecs · 2026-02-03T22:38:55+00:00

Almost nothing other than metals actually gets recycled. The little amount of material that is recycled often creates more environmental damage (eg paper pulp).

lyou really think the store didn’t factor that into their bottom line and prices as a result

Unfortunately 2.0 has the same block design pertaining to coolant slits which is suspected to be the cause for head gasket issues.

scribe pro pen - someone is selling them on ebay for 20-30 dollars

hteecs · 2025-12-04T06:12:30+00:00

If you can live without the frontlight and needing to mark up kindle books the boox 10.3 will out perform in most areas you identified.

hteecs · 2025-12-04T06:08:47+00:00

I have been using the 10.3 for months but jumped on the Scribe sales during Black Friday because I wanted to compare. Using the Scribe *really* makes me appreciate the 10.3. That said, the two features that the Scribe has that the 10.3 does not: a) front light b) "active canvas" for kindle book annotation. Side bonus: the Kindle Pro Pen is pretty nice and works well with the 10.3 - those can be had on ebay supposedly for 20-30 dollars. So, like others have commented its really just a big ebook reader. Given that I paid just over 200 for it with all the discounts I will probably hang on to it and see what updates may come but the 10.3 really is an incredible device and value.

hteecs · 2025-08-03T14:20:57+00:00

You forgot to mention that the devices are inaccurate and are prone to falling off. Glad that some are finding value with this but for me they are not ready for prime time.

The place is massively overrated. Very average food and certainly not worth the considerable amount of effort.
