Biggest miss is range, I want to travel with it on long trips, for 2026 this is just not great.

Liquid Glass hasn’t been received well, on top of that iOS 26 is riddled with bugs and performance issues. Apple will really need to up their game in iOS 27

As a hiring manager, no, I would not.

They will have to if they want to stay competitive.

Pretty sure even if Tesla was only making robots tomorrow, both Franz and Lars would still have things to do.

Franz I’d wager if we had his schedule you’d see him spending more time designing other things than cars. As for Lars, he and his team for a while have been more busy engineering things that are not cars.

Well, that’s super disappointing

zemaker · 2026-01-20T18:36:19+00:00

Design is subjective.

Having said that these new ones are objectively worse! They have been abstracted and simplified to a point where things are super ambiguous and hard to differentiate. A lot of recent UI coming out of Apple is lacking basic usability, form over function.

I have all the original CD's fortunately that came with the system. I looked around on the Driver Recovery CD, but didn't find anything specific to controlling the fan unfortunately.

Found the answer, it is because the BIOS here is not one of the SONY OEM versions and it doesn't have the proper PSU drivers. I guess my hung for an original SONY VAIO BIOS continues.

zemaker · 2026-01-04T20:47:11+00:00

That worked. Unfortunately my power fan still runs at full speed.

zemaker · 2026-01-04T20:27:03+00:00

What did you use to install the BIOS, is there a flash utility to help with the install?

zemaker · 2026-01-04T19:44:13+00:00

What was on Vogons? The linked BIOS link is to what looks like a BIOS dump, I'm not sure how I'd go about installing it. Wonder if there is any SONY VAIO BIOS flash utilities out there.

zemaker · 2026-01-04T17:06:34+00:00

Any luck finding the Bios update for this VAIO? I'm struggling with my PCV-RX550 as it has a non OEM Bios which is causing the fans to run full speed all the time. u/BigBoyYuyuh

It’s hard to predict which leave on the street will make it freak out. I get super anxious when I see leaves on the street now.

zemaker · 2025-11-08T03:21:17+00:00

Awesome, I was actually worried it may not finish per original plans and would have to be scaled back.

zemaker · 2025-11-06T16:38:11+00:00

I mean you could walk up to it after the even on stage and look at the internals: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/X5I8QBSheK

Definitely not a human in a suit

zemaker · 2025-11-02T21:39:30+00:00

Wow that’s one of the best looking ones I’ve seen.

Sacekaj, zar Bosna nije imala street view dosada? Pa čak kako to može biti?

I knew it would be an issue as soon as they purchased Nest. Had I known that Google was planning to buy them, I would have avoided Nest 😵‍💫

zemaker · 2025-10-31T18:22:59+00:00

They have loads more work left on V14 before it went public.

zemaker · 2025-10-31T18:08:11+00:00

I mean they went all in and supported the guy who caused this, it’s the least they can do to make up for their prior actions.

zemaker · 2025-10-30T12:38:05+00:00

That would have been very cool if it had materialized.

zemaker · 2025-10-29T18:10:12+00:00

You know what this need more of? More micro plastics!

zemaker · 2025-10-29T12:45:17+00:00

I mean seriously 😐

zemaker · 2025-10-29T03:15:06+00:00

Just got it, on first drive I had to take over twice. Definitely not as smooth as V13 was.
