Tesla model 3 does have mechanical door release mechanisms (at least for the front doors

It’s in the door pocket, under the rubber liner at the bottom of the pocket

Having a mechanical backup hidden away in an awkward place isnt the solution, You cant expect someone who is actively being burned alive to stop, rub their chin, and go “Ah, right, the hidden mechanism that I have to excavate to access”.

Just use a fucking normal door latch. Something you can grab in a panic and actually get out of the fucking vehicle before you end up the main course at a luau.

People really need to read the owners manual for their cars, but also companies that make innovative changes to basic safety systems like door handles should make some effort to inform their customers how to bypass those things

Its not innovative. Its stupid, idiotic, and dangerous. You shouldnt have to know how to bypass them, because your door should just fuckin work, regardless if theres power or not.

The article was wrong that the electronic door latching prevents people outside helping those trapped in the car, the outside handle are mechanical, they will work unless the door is locked

Which most are, considering most people lock their doors, and hell most modern cars automatically lock them when its put in drive.

Yeah, and you are conveniently skipping over the most relevant part.

Lowest price history for cyberpunk 2077 is 20 bucks. 20 bucks for a 5 year old game is ridiculously overpriced.

Grand Theft Auto never goes under 15 dollars, which is over priced for how old the game is.

I personally wouldnt consider borderlands AAA games, but congratulations, you found the one game that had an actual legitimate sale and age related price drop with Elite: Dangerous, with the base games lowest sale price recorded as 2 bucks. WIth it currently on sale for 5. for a 11 year old game. Which is what the prices should be for an old game, and what all the other games should be doing once they are out of their content window.

Also, you don’t have to be so goddamn dismissive and hostile. I gave an example of my argument. Did you expect me to spend 3 weeks researching so i could produce a scientific paper detailing every game that is over priced?

Brother, this isnt 2004.

AAA games rarely go on sale anymore, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is like 7 years old, and still 50 bucks, and last sale it went down to 25. 25 for a 7 year old game is just brutal absurdity.

and I just use that as an example, its the same almost across the entire board.

The only saving grace in gaming right now is indie games. Which are typically affordable.

a humble bundle subscription pays for itself a dozen times over, too.

don’t blame you. I’m the same way… Linux is hard, once its working, I dont care why anymore, just leave it tf alone and let it work, lol

“Why were they arrested for cras- sudden realization Oooh, oh no…”

Whoever came up with the idea of electronic, non-mechanical door handles needs to be put on trial for crimes against humanity. So many people have been stuck in burning or sinking vehicles due to this horrifically blatant design flaw of requiring power to get out of the goddamn vehicle.

Fair enough, ironically it was the reverse for me… Couldnt get it to work at all via STL, but that install script worked flawlessly.

But thats the wonder of modern computing… what works for someone will be a disaster for someone else.

you can have MO2 without STL, just fyi

I’m sure he appreciates you rushing to his defense trying to somehow justify it.

Still, if this TV came out tomorrow and Wendell from Level1techs said “your Linux pc can get 4k, 120hz, HDR FreeSync out of this” and showed it working, $3500 dollars wouldn’t stop me from buying it.

I wish I was this rich to impulse buy something that expensive because a man on the internet said something positive abouti t.

What you say is true but it’s off topic because that’s not the current situation. What we’re actually seeing right now is that parents literally do not want to take their devices away from their kids and they don’t want to supervise their kids. It really is that simple.

So saying its a parental responsibility is off topic, and what we should focus on is… parental responsibility.

The typical under-13 social media user is not a sneaky kid. It’s a family making a decision together.

Yep… Theres an idiot in my family that gave their grandkids unrestricted, flagship phones, with full social media account access, at 7 years old.

And no, they are not too old to understand technology. They perfectly understand technology, the internet, and everything else. They are just stupid.

Its on the grandparents for doing it. its on the parents for not taking the fuckin phones away. and its also on social media companies for being algorithmic predators.

or they can just say the liberals did it, and the cult wont care whose in charge, because blood and vengeance will be on their minds instead.

Saying stop ignoring parental responsibility, doesnt mean ignore everyone elses culpability.

Van would be wholly submissive to his masters. The same masters that try to control trump, but often fail due to Trumps own inbuilt idiocy.

Teachers should be legally allowed to posses a metal gauntlet for backhanding idiot parents across the face.

I think its more likely they’ve already got plans in place to turn that horde against the left by trying to blame the “evil woke communist liberal socialists” for his death, to avoid the Oroborus…if at least temporarily.

Exactly.

As weird as it is to say, Trumps unpredictability, irrationality, and penchant for reacting without thinking, have probably mitigated more damage than its caused.

When you get Vance in there, Who is capable of self control, who has the pressure of the money masters on him to do X… I think things would genuinely get much worse under him. Especially since he’d also be struggling to reign in control of the cult of trump and direct them usefully… Possibly by declaring that liberals were responsible for Trumps death, and inciting extreme violence as a result to distract from his own weakness.

Y’all keep saying democrats as if democrats are one unified party.

its not.

Its 37 parties in a trench coat.

Thats the problem with the democrats. Its basically a Chimera built out of everything thats not-republican, and thats down largely to our two party system of bullshit.
