Merry Christmas HN!

To be fair, I put partial blame on the advertisers. They've been claiming "AI" on their products on anything that has an algorithm basically for the past few years.

You can't update/upgrade your onboard car infotainment/ECU like a smartphone. I'd assume the onboard map data going stale FAST.

You get to choose which smartphone to use, and when to upgrade them. The lifecycle of a car is A LOT longer than its onbaord infotainment.

I see no mandated free of charge on data updating, nor mandated support timeframe.

Lenovo vantage, under battery management or something like that. Has been an option for quite long.

Most likely because 2nd season just dropped recently.

LTP: Take pictures of the where you've stored your luggage/bags, "with" surroundings. That way you'll have a much easier time finding it. Especially in larger stations around Japan. Saved my ass in Shinjuku this year.

Do this for cars in parking lots too.

"since transfers are close to instant" for US, no?

ACH pull/push takes days to get credit either way, wire is faster but still no where close to instant? I know SEPA "can" be instant, but AFAIK wise doesn't do (near)instant transfers to/from US.

I don't know but ACH times have been variable for me from almost instant (few minutes) to a few days. But for Wise, it's usually a 10 minutes window.

Like, a e-scooter/motorcycle? I see hundereds of them during my daily commute. Costs around $3000, and about $20 in monthly charge costs.

most of those are all gas powered.

the ones that are electric are usually limited to 28mph or just a little more than that. also, very few if any are 4 seaters.

This should suffice? https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

USB-C has been great, I now daily carry a 30w pd charger that's basically the same size as those old 5w iphone ones. Works great as a fallback option in a pinch.
