Flock may not actually be involved. YouTube video titles are often lying clickbait, and the video description starts off with "Flock and other surveillance cameras..."

The content creator is using "Flock" as a shorthand for all surveillance cameras, which muddies the conversation.

Carfax also can report estimated mileage, but it might have a different flag in the system that allows override. I've been handed a Carfax on my own car that has a reported mileage much greater than the actual mileage on the car, and t

Yes, it goes beyond Trump. A single election could be understood as a accident. A second election shows that it's not a mistake. And the US's lack of controls like recalls, impeachment, or snap elections shows its political system

This newer incident likely won't be as controversial since the riders had actual weapons, not toys; and no claim that the Waymo "imprisoned" the riders, as many people seem to have previously hallucinated.

Isn't this strange feature similar to how cellular Apple Watches are implemented?

The 42mm refers to the case size. You are right that screen is bigger on the new models with the same case size.

The Apple Watches have also been getting bigger. The first Apple Watches came in 38mm and 42mm sizes. That "large" Apple Watch is the size of the current "small" Apple Watch (42mm).

Most people I know who use iPads do so because a phone is too small to see or type on, but an actual computer/laptop is too complicated and intimidating to use.

It will save people a lot of time because they don't have to go to the Apple store, they can use their own passport to discover that the phone is still too big in a different dimension to use with one hand.

The swipe controls are terrible on my Pro 2s and make me miss physical buttons like on my ancient Jabra 65t. It's easier to reach into a pocket and push the volume buttons on my phone without unlocking or looking at it.

Tesla can do both. There will undoubtedly be a fee to join and use the Tesla ridesharing platform - I would expect that every Cybercab sold to require, at the minimum, the monthly $100 FSD subscription. On top of that, Tesla would take a cu

I don't know if that's true, especially when those "local governments" are cities with millions of people. You can get permission to operate in a small city, but if you can't drive outside of it, that really limits

Companies have to convince potential franchisees that they will be successful. Usually, the franchiser needs to already be wildly successful and have a playbook of how the franchisee will also be successful and how the franchiser will prote

Between "Most of the west" and "Asian countries" it seems like it's the vast majority of industrialized countries that take off or swap their shoes inside. There's just an odd blip of over-represented online pe

Tesla's system is well-integrated to the car and chargers, but its navigation is terrible. It seems to have marked a street near my home as impassible, so it takes an absurd roundabout route. This problem does not exist on Apple or Goo

California also has its own special gas that no one else uses, and cannot produce or refine it domestically to meet its own demand.

It's not just Mac apps. A Twitter ad is a negative indicator, and makes me less interested in the product.

I thought that was obvious. Stores specify garbage cans outside for the convenience of their customers. People generate trash, especially while eating. But also when they buy stuff. So we have garbage cans so they don't have to carry i

There's no line in my garage. Also most of the public chargers are networked, so you know when they are busy.

I don't live at Costco so it's going to be 30 minutes just back and forth. My Costco does have quieter times, but then I have to plan around it. It never made the slightest bit of sense to make a separate trip for $5.

It's probably part of the initial franchise standards, required and signed off by the fast food corporation. Or the shopping center design. We know as a society, that we need garbage cans, so they are budgeted for and installed. But ow
