I would involuntarily laugh at this.

“Clearly you don’t know my family, we’re like wolves. Yes, we’ll back you up, but we’ll also pounce on the weak so they either toughen up or die. Is that really what you want?”

The LOVE of money.

That’s a GM car - both the color of the panel and design of the cranks are GM.

A stroke isn’t a choice.

Your attitude is.

What’s a Facebook?

(Yes, /s. I’ve never even been to the website, let alone had an account).

Lol, I’m sure.

Still I downloaded it and spinning up a VM.

I use OneNote extensively - have 20 years of notes, and I disable OneDrive integration in Windows.

And the AI integration? Wtf?

Android integration sounds interesting though.

Since 1985 for me.

All my cars go to 300k, or more.

Color is absolutely part of VIN.

But your point stands.

It’s largely roll over protection safety requirements have increased dramatically. So you get massive pillars that have to distribute force into the rest of the body.

Which also has to handle that load, or prevent intrusion laterally from side impacts.

It’s largely driven by safety designs.

“If they break”, oh yes, let’s fund a strawman.

Go see what a broken mirror costs today.

Glass alone, if heated (many are) $100+. Actual motorized mirror: $300+. Then there’s painting to match.

Cameras would be smaller, less likely to get damaged, and are pretty commodity tech these days.

They do, but know what works better? A single panel in front of you with all the views - you don’t even have to turn your head.

As someone who’s raced, "Wink" mirrors demonstrated this fantastically: multi-panel rear-view mirrors where you could see everything behind and beside you in a single mirror.

I used one in my daily driver when I had a neck injury (whiplash) and could barely turn my head for 2 years. Way easier to see all around you, and better too.

The tech for a camera system has been available and trivial since the 90’s. A single 4" tall wide screen on the dash, or built into the center rear view would work.

Clearly you’ve never driven in rain, snow, fog. Side mirrors are very problematic. Cameras can be better protected, and done right even deal with rain and ajow a lot better.

If people can function only with a phone, there’s a LOT they aren’t doing.

I use my phone constantly, but trying to get even a rooted Android phone to replace my PC’s? Yea, no.

I’m not doing spreadsheet stuff only on my phone, or documents, or page layout, etc.

That younger folks are heavily mobile centric is a result of pressure by Google/MS, etc to get them used to it. When they’re used to the limitations of mobile it’ll be easier to limit PCs in the same ways.

And business, yea, no, mobile isn’t replacing computers. They’re great adjuncts, but even my laptop screen is sometimes too small - and I’m not someone that needs a large screen although time.

And neither would Proton…

It’s Baileys - I used to drink it in my coffee in the morning in regular days. There’s almost no alcohol to it.

“Bob” “Bartholomew”

Nice bigotry, only “minorities” door dash?

The racism is in your head
