@lemmy.worldI have a Mazda CX-5. The track seek buttons are counterintuitive IMO, and the Adaptive Cruise distance buttons are too.
Next track is UP, previous track is DOWN. Not like going down a list.
Adaptive Cruise control is UP to increase distance, DOWN to decrease. This seems like it would make sense, but I would prefer it the other way. UP to get closer, DOWN to pull back the distance
I've bought pretty expensive equipment, tube amplifier, many fancy headphones, optical DACs. A library full of FLAC files. I even purchased a $500 portable DAP. I've never been able to reliably tell a difference between FLAC and 320k MP3 files. At this point, it really doesn't concern me anymore either, but I at least like to see my fancy tube amp light up.
I will say, though, $300 seems to be the sweet-spot for headphones for me.
Of course, you have freedom of choice. You can choose between eating a shit sandwich or a tube of tile grout compound.
Hope like hell that my 2500w inverter generator can start my HVAC blower so I can run the gas heat
Anker has been hit-or-miss for me. It either craps out early, or lasts much longer than it has any right to. They're still my go-to for cables, because I usually lose or give many of them away before they have a chance to show their worth
In a similar vein, I'd like to recommend Skeptics Guide To The Universe. Mostly focused on science news and critical thinking. I believed they've interviewed Sean Carroll several times in the past as well.
It's been around for 18 years, and they have a very rigid format that may not be for everyone, but I personally really like the organization of it
I could see it being useful for dynamic, informative signs like you said in airports. Having transparency could be actually useful, maybe not just a total gimmick, in some areas I'm sure.
Or maybe it's just another useless, overpriced concept piece that we won't see for another 20 years
That's not the Anarchy symbol. That's the button disable "Auto Start-Stop" in Ford & Dodge vehicles
I don't say this to promote fossil fuels whatsoever, but different fossil fuels are better or worse in different ways. Natural gas IIRC is one of the worst fossil fuels for greenhouse gas emissions short-term, especially with leaks and partially combusted fuel, but it dissipates much faster than the alternatives, with much lower CO2 emissions as well (something like 7 year half-life vs a thousand years). It's definitely not clean and comes with its own set of problems, but let's not assume all fossil fuels are created equal.
I am 100% for switching away from all fossil fuels, and I don't like natural gas being advertised as "clean", but I feel this is important to note.
