Onomatopoeia

That's just Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in real life! (Snoopy and a folding chair get in a fight). Hahaha, awesome, thanks for the link.

Ooh, ah, thinner sliders, background blur in quick settings.

Quit fucking around, and give us real changes. Like letting us fully disable immersive apps (I'd like to see my status bar in maps, thank you very much), fix the worthless waste of space oval quick settings, which I just stopped using because they're now useless. I went and loaded a sidebar app, because it works so much better than the now pointless quick settings.

And let users adjust a lot more stuff, like for accessibility. I can't imaging handing a new phone to someone with vision or motor issues. I hit the wrong thing all the time, and I don't have either issue.

Oh, bringing color back to the status bar, but only for Google icons? Can I please have the color back like I had, oh 15 years ago? So I know who messaged me by the color of the icon?

Keep on dumbing things down, while also making them more opaque.

I'm impressed the part was available, anywhere (and then for a reasonable price!). That can be a real challenge with appliances

Exactly.

Such a weird thing to have, except... The Taurus did change Ford, and was a massive impact on the industry too.

Thought they were ugly when they debuted, then a family member got one, and I found it was a good car - one of the best American cars I've driven or worked on (especially for the era). Still a homely car, had to look at it's ugly ass for 300,000 miles. Yep, that good of a car.

Probably my only mechanical complaint is how they implemented the front suspension - the combination of a less-than-ideal subframe mounting and unequal length half shafts meant it was a bitch to keep aligned and suffered some awful torque steer.

Lol, thanks for the tip...it's bizarro world

Meh, DRM has been repeatedly circumvented. It's a cat-and-mouse game, with very few cats (DRM developers/vendors) and many mice (DRM circumventors) who are very motivated.

DRM is to prevent the average consumer from sharing stuff.

You don't even need to have the cell on your own account - location data for most any mobile device can be purchased from vendors that sell such data.

Verizon has had this since flip phone days.

As you noted, it uses cell tower data, so anything that has a SIM can be located pretty accurately. (Technically anything with a cell radio, as towers will track that).

It's how they had mapping on flip phones.

I remember talking to peers about location tracking with the first digital cell phones circa 1996. We were concerned then, but couldn't get any non-tech folks to hear us.

There's a reason it's recommended to put kids in the back seat: it simply doesn't have the risks of the front. The other requirements for front safety and rollover have a knock-on effect of making the rest of the vehicle safer (can't improve rollover without improving the strength and energy distribution of the lower half of the car, which means improving impact protection too) . Note that cars have side airbags in the rear, they don't have forward ones because they simply aren't necessary, since there's no dash to impact in a frontal collision.

I'd much rather be in the back seat in any accident.

Doesn't remind me of a Tucker at all. Here's a Tucker front. (Also, what a gorgeous car the Tucker was).

But that rounded front is pretty much the design element of the times.

Looking at the Nash, I see "streamlining", which was a pre-war concept akin to what we'd call aerodynamic today (though it wasn't necessarily aerodynamic, just a visual style). Streamlining is more associated with art deco period to me - it appeared on things like train engine designs in the early 20th.

So an already shitty app will double down on enshittification?
