why do so many EV makers put the plug in the back like it was a loving gas tank and force regular people to have to wait for EV drivers to poorly reverse into their charging spot?

Every car fills up usually from the back too, so convention. Saves costs on redesigning the car shape and innards. Seeing most crashes are from the front, having the battery up front opens it up to more chance of it exploding or going on fire if it breaches.

ZeusCannon posted:I just assumed the device is a bit poo poo and requires expansive gestures. But closing the door is simple Funnily enough the expansive gestures from the video probably wouldn't work very well. It uses eye tracking to determine what is clicked if you pinch your fingers, not where they are spatially. According to the verge review I watched at least it seems akin to your eyes moving a mouse pointer with your fingers clicking. A lot of the time your hand is resting stationary on a desk in front of you. However they also said that new users don't really realise that and might try using arm movement, kind of like when people try to steer in a racing game by tilting their controller. I still feel it's more likely he's hamming it up for the camera but I guess there's a slight chance of someone overcompensating without realising that they need to be looking right at what they're manipulating.

I used a HoloLens for work and I can 100% guarantee those types of frantic sweeping gestures would do gently caress all except make you look like you’re pretending to be Tony Stark interfacing with holograms, except that’s fiction and instead you look like a huge dweeb.

IBroughttheFunk posted:Goddammit, he and his sycophants use this image at least once a month. Not only is their posting so lovely, it's so repetitive. It's because they have absolutely no sense of humor. This is a good joke for them, because it has previous been established as A Joke. They know it is A Joke, and can feel smart and funny for recognising it. They cannot recognise actual humor at all, so unfamiliar material that makes an original joke, or retells an old joke in a new and clever way is completely incomprehensible to them. It's me, I am the bore who explained the terrible joke.

So he's been excited for the cybertruck the whole time she dated him? Did he knock her up or something? Because goddamn why else would you rush to tie the knot with that? poo poo, even without musk, this guy is spending stupid money on toy cars while his wife scrimps and saves without any fun money.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:What about Threads? the impression i get is that a lot of news agencies and government organizations etc who would put stuff out on twitter made accounts on Threads back when it was first launched and wrote up an initial post or two and then pretty much abandoned it afterwardd i've used it a bit more than the other replacements because there are a fair number of musicians on there and i've seen a few interesting conversations but overall, it still pretty much sucks andt there are way too many people talking with Expert/Influencer language compared to regular people talking just about daily life or current events
