Looking at you Withings. My perfectly able and capable Steel HR needs to be binned and repurchased (quite hefty price too) after 8yrs of good use as now the battery lasts only 3 days. Tried to contact them to swap the battery (at a cost) they suggested the only option is the bin... 8yrs is definitely more than an Apple Watch probably, but way less than the Zenith my father wore for more than 30 years.

Still remember driving one with my dad (I was 6) back from a vendemmia (grape harvest) with the back fully loaded of at least 18 100-litre harvest buckets, on a 7-10% slope, which the ape did effortlessly.

Agree. Complexity for me skyrocketed towards the end

Sharing as I’ve not seen this mentioned by anyone. I have achieved something similar with Karabiner and the custom reassignment of the play button to actually run Spotify and play the last song from there rather than Apple Music and it worked like a charm.

Personally own 4, though now they are gathering dust now that I switched to an espresso machine.

The mechanical key has a hinge (to be able to operate it), but it’s not “hinged” to the fob.

One of the best moka pots I owned is the Bialetti Elettrika [1] which comes exactly with a detachable lead like the one you mention. But for me, coming from outside of the UK and never experienced the kettle lead situation, it has always been the opposite, the pot has a ‘computer lead’ :)

I was just referring to specifically the cruise control which seems useful only in traffic conditions. As soon as the road gets a bit cleared up it has a tendency to accelerate too much, and a bit too eagerly.

But we have similar conditions, 2kids and in need of space and Sealion 7 won over many other EVs for number of features, platform, and especially price.

The OTA updates are quite regular and for us one fixed a bug that did not let the doors lock entirely when the car was off.

Own the sealion 7. It is feature full, and don’t want to crush your dreams, but i would trade that killer unreliable adaptive cruise control and lane assist with a (missing?!) simple speed limiter 100 times over

Value price for us. The Sealion 7 for us had the combination of features, dimensions, range, 800v platform, for a price that was simply unbeatable (leasing).

Out of question that Volvo ex90, Kia ev9, Hyundai Ioniq 9 or even the BMW ix3 would have come on top if it wasn’t for the price.

I’ve been having consistent issues with it adding Hindi words (just one usually) in the middle of its output. And sounds like other have been having this too, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47832912 I don’t speak Hindi, have never asked it to translate anything in Hindi.

Had ChatGPT keeping inserting Hindi words in its responses to my clearly English prompts and had to kept asking to re-think carefully in English. Low and behold, others have been experiencing the same thing.

In the south of Italy where families were very close to each others, children abundant, and passing the name of grandparents to first and second borns was expected people ended up with tons of namesakes. I have 6 people in my direct family who all share same name and last name.
