  • If it’s a real thing, it’s not on Steam.

  • Most people of non-African origin (a fact that helped pinpoint where the mixing happened and when) have 1-3% or so, the amount varying by person and region.

  • Regulations require specific colours for specific indicators.

  • It’s been a while since I’ve played that. But yes, it’s helpful to see a graphical representation of where noisy things are, as I’m completely deaf in my left ear and can’t locate sounds.

  • Hard of hearing also. It’s so frustrating that text signs that list announcements are so rare.

    Captions on television/movies and games are commonplace, but in the real world, very few places care.

    Might be because I’m in a red state for a few more years due to family; blue states likely tend to be more aware of issues like ours.

    I did see written callouts of upcoming tram stops once, but I can’t recall which airport. It may have been ORD.

  • The marque is actually named for the daughter of the trademark registrar, Mercédès Adrienne Ramona Manuela Jellinek.

  • Some keyboards also come with software that lets you disable or remap keys. I turned Caps Lock into something more useful to me, for instance.

  • They and Tesla are the holdouts. GM only recently killed phone mirroring but those two never had it.

    I will not buy from any of them.

  • That doesn’t really make sense considering it’s a charging standard and the entire point of a standard is to avoid problems like this. Hopefully it just means I need a software update for the car.

    Which VW has been very silent about. I’d feel better if they explained what the issue is and what needs to be done to fix it, even if they say it will take time to fix.

  • It doesn’t work right. I have an ID.4 and even though my local charger is listed on the Tesla site as being CCS compatible with an adapter, selecting my car and claiming I have an adapter still fails to make the site show up in the listings.

    The car has a CCS port and has been tested to work with the magic dock by testers, so it’s compatible. The app needs work.

    VW is strangely silent on this, which is making me think that my next car will not be a VW. That, and Ford got Apple Maps EV routing working and I still can’t get it to see my car.

  • Naval aviation is the general term for what you’re thinking of, and is the term used in the United States. In the UK, carrier pilots are part of the Fleet Air Arm.

  • This is how I did it, using my Mac laptop. You can’t do it with the phone app, but a Mac or Windows computer can.

  • My experience with those was that they proved formulaic and repetitive after a time, but the first few were good. They did have problems with shallow characterisations, though, at least to me.

  • Honda’s sensing system will read shadows from bridges as obstructions in the road that it needs to brake for. It’s easy enough to accelerate out of the slowdown, but I was surprised to find that there is apparently no radar check to see if the obstruction is real.

    My current vehicle doesn’t have that issue, so either the programming has been improved or the vendor for the sensing systems is a different one (different vehicle make, so it’s entirely possible).

  • I never liked it because I didn’t want to accidentally change the face, which happened a few times.

    I was always surprised that there was no way to disable the feature.

    But now we can both be happy. It’s a shame that the simple solution of making it a toggleable option took this long.

  • It was bad, yes. Not debating that, and I’m glad that the design was changed and existing owners could get the shifter replaced at no cost to them.

    However, it’s frustrating to see that people so often ignore recalls and then are injured or killed in a way that would have been avoided had they done the free recall. I usually feel sad when I think of deaths like that because the death is just so final and was easy to avoid.

    People have recently died to exploding airbag inflators, even though the Takata recall has been in the news for years, and even if a vehicle has had multiple owners, the publicity means that chances are that the current owner has seen at least a headline about it. Yet clearly people aren’t getting the recall work done, and they’re dying because of it.

    Is it a hassle to take a car in for repair? Yep. Had to have mine serviced due to a recall for something that hadn’t manifested on my car in my own use. But given that the alternative could have been very bad (the car’s software was updated to ensure that it would shift into park more reliably when there was a rollaway risk, if the driver didn’t do so manually), I dealt with having a loaner for a day when the update took longer than expected.

    Designers sometimes make bad choices. Regulations are written in blood, it’s said, because it’s often tragedy that leads to changes. But I don’t think it very likely that shifters like that will make it past design reviews again. It’ll be some other bad decision that causes the next big recall.

    I’m really looking forward to getting rid of a lot of bag clutter. It’ll also be nice to trade in the lower crests that I can no longer use.

    Don't Kick That Dragon: How To Evaluate Augmentation Evoker Contributions

    As an evoker player (though not Augmentation yet), it's definitely frustrating to see that Augmentation players are getting kicked from groups for, supposedly, doing low DPS.

    Support specs are new to WoW, so it's not surprising that there's no simple way to see how they contribute. But is it really fair to depend on a damage meter rather than the overall performance of the group? I've never felt as though damage meters really were as useful as many people make them seem.

    An analogy that might help here: Augmentation evokers are force multipliers -- in military terms, that's a unit or soldier who makes others more effective. For instance, a forward air controller who calls in targets for ground-attack aircraft to hit. That FAC isn't going to do any damage on their own, but the aircraft they bring in wouldn't be able to damage its target without the FAC's assistance. The crew of that plane are vital, yes, but so are the people who te

    This is definitely helpful in accessibility terms. I sometimes can't quite always make out a call to go somewhere or do something. I'm looking forward to see what this feature turns out to be capable of doing and how it works.

    As a preservation evoker main, I'm looking forward to trying Augmentation to see what it's like, though I'm most likely going to continue to main Preservation.
