This is nothing new. It's a dumb-phone with a touchscreen. There were quite a few examples back in the day in the late 00s.

Tesla is screwed.

Deja-vu

Dementia largely affects people on a pension, and not working adults contributing to the pyramid scheme.

It seems like the "we support the current thing" crowd disagrees with you.

You'd only invalidate the warranty of the speaker itself. Good riddance.

A few drops of superglue into the speaker should work wonders. Probably very easy to DIY on your driveway in a few minutes.

You won't appear as hip and fashionable amongst your CA/SV peers lugging a "generic" laptop around.

Looks like an "organization" tailor made to be awarded EU funds for their "mission".

then I needed to find a brake controller that can work with the higher voltage (14.4v vs the normal 12v)

Put a voltmeter on the battery terminals of a regular car at 2000rpm and note the voltage. You'd be surpised (the alternator can produce as high as 15V on some cars).

Breaking up Apple would be glorious. Great hardware without an Orwellian OS on top.

All 800V eGMP Hyundai/Kia cars suffer from ICCU issues.

Until the ICCU fails, at which point you're toast.

The vacuum reservoir of the brake booster in cars with vacuum servo brakes (whether vacuum is generated by the engine or an electric pump is irrelevant) stores enough energy for 3-4 full applications of the brakes.

Please post some judicial decisions regarding your claim.

Common in ICE cars oo, mostly turbo ones. The difference between the 100HP model and the 120HP model is only an ECU map.

Service workers in coffee shops stand all day here in enlightened Europe too.

All this effort wasted on using a really bad keyboard as a base.

I'd like to use it because I support the creator's stated mission, but for me, performance seems very slow and unreliability is lacking

Hooks, holes in the backing plate, stamped/cast dimples, welded wire-mesh for the backing material to adhere to.

Pads were the friction material is solely using glue to adhere to the backing plate are generally either very cheap aftermarket replacements or the OEM cheapening out.

This is a 2019 article with figures from that time. So it's wildly out of date.

No, they're cheap Chinese honeycomb paper and low density particle board.

On the other hand, normies do ruin everything.

If there was a concept of corporate death penalty, Apple would be one of my top picks for its application.

Nah, with equivalent graphical settings and resolution, the PC would manage at least 3 times the framerate.

Unsteady 30FPS with terrible frame pacing is nothing that consoles can brag about.

Nothing "directly" runs on 12V either. All electronics will have stepdown converters in both the 12V and 48V use case. Motors, solenoids and incandescent bulbs can be made to work with either voltage (the same way we do for 24V systems in heavy goods vehicles here in Europe).

Maybe the car has an AC compressor or a pump to cool the battery during charging, which draws directly from the charger when plugged in

No it doesn't. A/C compressors in EVs are 3 phase AC powered by an inverter supplied by the traction battery.

The contactors in an EVSE open and close at practically zero current, the OBC ramps the current up or down accordingly. And as another sibling comment noted, the OBCs are PFC corrected and act as a largely resistive load.

That's a USB power supply.

That's terrible. Hacking prevention would make sense if they were ±2 seconds a month.

Which is completely asinine, as mechanical watches, even expensive ones are inaccurate by many seconds every day.
