Thanks man. I figured there was probably a cross-section of a few cars that fit the bill. I would wonder about and need to confirm functionality. When I rent, I often receive Corollas, and I do like Toyota’s implementation. The one’s I’ve driven brake gracefully on lane switches and in finding the follow distance. I’ve yet to hit a situation, even amongst torn up construction areas, where the assists get janky.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard from others, with older cars, who won’t use the ACC because of perceived jank.

I fully agree with that. Well designed public transport, human-powered local transit (bikes!), and more densely packed infrastructure for human populations are the way to go with respect to the global predicament. This is a big part of the reason I refuse to own a car. But, I can appreciate some features added to the old ways, while gritting my teeth.

I don’t own a car and am not a fan of most modern “features”, but, I must say, I’m quite fond of adaptive cruise control. Setting a follow distance and just cruising for long drives is far better than pumping the brakes every 5 minutes for folks mucking up passing lanes or trucks attempting to overtake on lane-limited roadways. I bet if everyone used it, traffic snakes wouldn’t be such a nuisance.

I’d rather never own a car, but if I needed one, I’d be hard pressed to sacrifice privacy for that sweet adaptive cruise. Of course, network connectivity isn’t required, so perhaps there will eventually be options.

4/5g card in mPCIE slot until I source a more portable device to do phone things. Yes, there are m.2 options as well. If the supply chain eventually dries up, for expansion cards and/or FOSS phones, then I’ll only communicate via my ISP or local mesh nets, until my computers break.

Kind of off-topic as it’s a different class of device, but if anyone is looking for a data-centric cycling computer (power, gps, no navigation), the Coospo BC200 is surprisingly nice. Picked one up after I smashed one from a bigger company, and it’s an upgrade at like 1/4th the cost (and used to be cheaper). Paired with inexpensive magene sensors, it seems to be a reliable setup.

Time, bread, and circuses. But, we may soon run low on bread.

It’s great for trails in America. I’ve used it for years. Offline maps by default and you can easily drop a pin. FYI, in the android build, you drop a pin with a triple touch. It used to be long touch.

It was always “trickle up” marketed as the opposite.

Looks like he also had a lighting team for that mugshot.

Heh. Man, do such posts dominate reddit these days. They can be entertaining on occasion, but god damn are they absolute drivel.

Void. I like xbps, and I prefer distros that make as few assumptions as possible.
