It would be a crying shame if someone were to figure out a way to force those e ink displays to refresh fast enough that it kills the batteries on those things...

I've still got my old Anova, Bluetooth one. I don't even use the app ever, I can set it up with the wheel and buttons. Still works great after like 5+ years. That said, I won't be recommending them to anyone going forward.

That's nice, but it's no Econoline.

Fuck that, we should be measuring everything in Stone.

I'll take a seventh stone of chicken please.

And lengths in Royal cubits.

If we're gonna go weird we need to go all the way.

So how long till the Supremes rule that CBP is not only allowed to search your phone but also to perform colonoscopies at checkpoints 100 miles inland and sell the resulting videos to extremely wealthy perverts?

Beyond any issues with the owner of the company, these cars have multiple dangerous issues.

You cannot treat a company that makes physical stuff that can endanger lives the same way you treat a software company that makes a leisure activity platform.

Iterative design for a purely software environment is way more forgiving than iterative design for physical hardware or even software that interacts with physical hardware. You can profoundly fuck up the backend for a website and take the whole thing down until you could roll back to last known good production, you won't kill anyone, but you'll make the line go down temporarily.

If you profoundly fuck up an iteration on an embedded vehicle system and don't catch it because you don't respect safety regulation or existing engineering norms you can and will kill people.

Analogue doesn't have firmware that can reject a device based on id.

So you can reverse engineer a replacement part if you absolutely have to.

All the cool kids learned it from the bloodhound gang.

Good for them for attempting to redeem themselves after what they did to my potatoes. But I'll never forgive them.

They may have fooled you with their cute little rolls and their ability to mitigate human pollution, but I see them.
