I bought a new car and have since decided I would prefer an older car. * The features are annoying and you can't disable everything you don't need. I had to download an app and by a connector to disable the warning message that told me not to crash everytime I turned the car on. There's still plenty of things that I can't disable. If I want to turn off the centre console (which is most of the time), it's several clicks through a clunky ui. * It only looks nice when it's clean and keeping a car clean is not something I want to invest my time in. * It's too powerful, so I can't really give it a bit of a push without going well over the speed limit. * it aluminates the logo onto the sidewalk when I park. Very embarrassing. * it's heavy which you can feel (despite it being a tiny new gen car).

I preferred my old beater that I could just thrash around. It's worth having to deal with some sort of mechanical problem every now and then.

I tried it and it found businesses near me. When I asked how it knew where I lived, it said "You didn’t say, but your request triggered a location-based search. The search engine likely used your IP address to estimate your location. I used the results it returned."

Good point it being something you need to do. I will just add it to my todo list. If you can't progress with your work until you have the input, is there a good way of chasing it up when dealing with someone unreliable but senior?
