If you were trying to elicit a chuckle, then... yes you're doing it very right!

Correct me if I'm wrong but, if I understand things correctly... at this point we're wondering if manual locking hubs are a better (or worse) solution than electrically isolating the motor(s). Right? And, off the top of my head I&

Yeah, that's a fair point but isn't it true that a mostly discharged battery will still have enough charge to perform some limited functions. E.g. even in a normal car I think a dead battery can power the lights even though the st

Others have mentioned that there is indeed a "free roll" mode and I'm prone to think your hypothesis regarding the implementation may be correct. The specifics, however, do not matter to me. What I'm wondering now is, if

thank you

I understand that... so you're saying something like "unlocking hubs" would not suffice? Or they'd add too much cost to the vehicle?

Fair enough, I was thinking back to the time something similar happened to me "mid-mountain". This Tesla must've been in one heck of a stop where "hiking wasn’t an option as it was pretty hot and we had no water", l

Alone it doesn't at all, but when you couple the tagline "Turn your audience into a business" along with the blog's more literary narrative style, the whole piece strikes me as entertainment meant for a particular cohort

Have you considered using a usb relay instead of a "smart plug"? https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/344691 It's often cheaper and easier.

Did you try swapping or replacing capslock w/ ctrl? Something like this... setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Control_R" I would occasionally experience some pinky pain until I did this. Losi

Sure, I'd go one step further too. If you've been kind and the person took offense anyway... don't just move on, avoid self-flagellation as well.

I think the point is that no matter how kind you are to those people they'll find a reason to take offense anyway.

Ok, congratulations... you're right. You can can have the last word instead. I must have said "OpenBSD fully supports every piece of hardware known to man" and missed it. I sincerely apologize for that. You, in no way, tried

Sure... but that presupposes Unix based desktop and server systems are obscure and that the hardware in question is new. In reality, neither is accurate. A huge number of people and organizations run Unix based systems and TPM devices have
