It’s not bad UX, it’s part of the experience of driving the car. Something that a Ferrari buyer probably cares more about than a Tesla buyer. I personally miss the physical keys on older cars that you had to insert and turn to start the car because you’re directly controlling the starter/engine. It feels like you’re driving a car and not using an appliance. There are people who prefer manual transmissions for similar reasons.

I just recently started to. Stopped using pretty much all Google services years ago, but the company I work for now uses (and heavily relies on) Google Workspace, so couldn’t avoid it. Being able to log into a browser and have all of your bookmarks, history, settings, and passwords is great. I know brave and Firefox offer this too, but those experiences just aren’t as seamless

Yes, we have 2 years left until everyone in the world (except the super rich who can afford bottled air) will suffocate and die

It depends on the kind of person you are. Others might be able to share their experiences, but they don’t know you and how it’ll affect you.

Go with your gut.

Wikipedia could operate non the money it already has for years without any more fundraising.

The money from the donations goes to the Wikimedia Foundation, which uses it mostly for political purposes

If you spend more energy than your body takes in, there is no way you don’t lose weight, no matter what your body does with it.

If someone isn’t losing weight on a caloric deficit, they’re not tracking their food intake and exercise properly.

There aren’t any exercise (in whatever amount) that lead to fat loss? Sounds like massive cope. It’s extremely obvious that doing something like running every day (if it leads to a calorie deficit) will make you lose fat.

How is your personal opinion on investing in crypto relevant here?

That makes sense. When I got Covid just over a year ago, I didn’t bother testing or reporting it, just stayed home. Interestingly enough, I know a couple people who were sick and tested positive for the flu but not Covid this winter

Maybe visually. Not practical

Do they have analog dials for speed and RPM?

Or analog dials and indicators instead of a display

Yes! Screens and flush buttons are not good UX for a car. One should be able to change volume, air conditioning settings, radio station/song without taking their eyes off the road.

Good cars are the ones that have the least software imo. I’d prefer my car to not have adaptive cruise control, brake or lane assist, etc. More failure points and less control over my own car

Would like to see some data on this. I don’t know of anyone who’s gotten Covid since… summer or so?

I understood it differently. Saying the email is a “paraphrase from ChatGPT” seems more like they had ChatGPT generate it, and then modified or “paraphrased” it themselves

Maybe a little bit less sinister than that. Just a way to promote the product in every email originating from their devices
