Why?? Sonos has a maximum volume limit. If you’re going to auto turn down, why notify. If you can limit, why do either.
The max volume doesn't help with songs that are far, far louder than others. I have this issue in our coffee shop, where a song that was playing at a normal volume on my AirPods, is extremely loud on Sonos. We flag it and take it off the playlist.
Side note: Sonos is atrocious when it comes to functionality and reliability, and it has only gotten worse recently. I can't discourage people enough from purchasing their product.
I thought about that, but then I realized that the acceleration is going to be (more or less) equal and opposite for take-off and landing, so it's more about which one you want first, no?
The angle of descent is of about 3 degrees, that's far less than the angle at which the aircraft is taking off. Thus the rear facing passengers would be facing down quite steeply on takeoff, and thus likely to vomit the airport lounge food they just had :)
we're here, talking about the ad, and by extension the product. which makes it a huge a success for the marketing team. are people that were going to buy an iPad before now not gonna buy an iPad because they got offended? maybe! are people who weren't in the market for a new iPad now thinking about iPads? yup.
It's not that simple. Something like this hurts the brand.

Tesla is no longer a leader in innovation, their vehicles couldn’t even do V2L/V2G until the CyberTruck.
48v is a pretty big leap forward that I bet other automakers will replicate. So is assembling the interior (seats, console, etc.) onto the battery and lifting it into the vehicle. Also, the rigid wire harness that can be snapped in by robotic arms. The list goes on. I recommend watching some of the teardown videos.

> . After performing a series of tests, it decided on April 12 to issue a recall after determining that an “[a]n unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal,” and that “[r]esidual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal.”
How do you have so little quality control and insight into your manufacturing process that someone on your own production line can introduce a new step to your truck manufacturing process that no one noticed?
I guess when analysts said the incumbent auto manufacturers would have a large advantage over Tesla in manufacturing, this is what they meant?
Because this looks like a very unprofessional error to have made for a company that has done well up until now.
The pedals are manufactured (and likely assembled with the pad) by a supplier in Canada, according to https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/nhtsa-off...

Oh man, as someone who has driven a tesla in the rain where the automatic wipers didn't work and I had to frantically dig through touch screen menus on the highway, this sounds all too real.
There's still a physical button for the wipers. On the Cybertruck it's on the steering wheel. When you press it to wipe (generally used for spray-washing the windshield), the entire menu pops up where you can choose the speed, frequency, etc.
Is Paris considered a great place to live? I've been there a couple times in the last few years, and it just seemed like every other big western city. (except for the police walking around with assault weapons.)
I'm surprised, to me it always looks & feels very different than most other Western cities, in part due to low-rise buildings and almost exclusively independently operated restaurants and shops.
Most other large European cities allowed for high rises and chain coffee shops & restaurants, to the point where they've started to become indistinguishable from one another.
jacktribe commented on Rivian Is Turning into the Subaru of EVs heatmap.news/electric-veh... · Posted by u/bananaphonehome
Rivian really is tapping into a market that's underserved by Tesla with their new lineup, and into an outdoorsy trend that is going to last for decades at least.
I've rented the R1T and R1S through several roadtrips last summer and even though I ended up getting the Cybertruck, had it not be in product yet, I would definitely have purchased the R1T. Rivian is building a lifestyle brand, and an ecosystem of products for adventurers. I'm very excited to see the R3 in person, and ended up preordering an R2 after the event.
It also helps that RJ Scaringe is a very likable guy. My bet is that Rivian becomes one of the top 5 automakers in the world.
