Toyota Sienna == Toyota Highlander

It's all the exact same chassis, drive, suspension, pretty much you name it except the doors and body style. So that's not quite true...

Ok fair, but in that case isn't it missing the words "I think" prepended to the factual assertion.

As in: I think it's missing the words "I think" from that statement. (Which is educated speculation on the statement that has yet to be rigorously explored)

Completely unrealistic… more constructive to recommend melting them down and re-casting/machining =)

I don’t, and would happily use that installer again. =) But unless you give feedback on how the choices are working out how can you expect them to know and have a better choice next time? (Genie, is what I heard for the future… I’ll have to check further when/if it becomes relevant)

I use Home Assistant and have this openner. My installer recommeneded it because he’s had happy customers like me who use home automation. I can tell you that I a) will never recommend or buy the brand again, and b) have already complained to my installer about his recommendation of this line (and he is moving to another brand).

I wish ratgdo a ton of success and have several on order.

Huh, I use Google Maps daily too and have never had a popup since the first time I used it and picked "While using". I could have picked "Always", which worked too, but choose not to for reasons outlined in other posts here.

You can also easily turn off "Maps" tracking or limit it the same way if you choose.

I got to admit that I don't see the meat in this burger, so to speak.

A common use case for this is things like car/plane instruments/nav/etc. You don't want that sucking power all the time when your vehicle is parked for 1 week or two, but you do want a quick transition from POR to usable UI up and running.

And memory is also a large user of power budget. This is exactly right… larger and brighter screens, better wifi, BT, and cellular systems, more memory, and higher system speeds (because you know that 20% more efficient processor is X% faster offsetting that efficiency) all eat up that power budget.

While funny, California as a whole has (according to Wiki) 8.5% of million dollar net worth families. There are almost 10million of them in the US. That's on the order 1 in 10 people belonging to a family in that bracket in the US and thus a whole bunch of people. So that's not really just some tech bro's in the valley...

How do you secure something when other's know the secret? There has to be some "secret" (aka key) that some definition of "you" only knows, that the system then tests against (hopefully via some kind of asymmetric system or hash).
