  1. Re:Reasonable explanation, but... on Apple Explains Face ID On-stage Failure (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I want bigger bezels actually, a good place to hold my phone. Currently it's uncomfortable and only has a bezel on the top and bottom that provide enough space for my thumb to push against to hold the phone, but then the weight is off so I can't hold it.

    My buddy had a Samsung that could do it. Like a Note 4 or something.

    They say you can change your hair, grow a beard, etc and it still work. I don't see the big deal, the last Lumia phone has iris recognition and opened that way. An older Samsung phone my buddy had could open with facial recognition, it also worked when I held my phone to his with a picture of his face on my screen, so not super secure.

    I bought a motorcycle helmet years ago, I still get ads for the helmet and others I researched. Fucking ads suck.

    So you never use fuel injector cleaner or get new spark plugs or new air filters? That's all tune up stuff. So GTFO with that nonsense. My Ranger was getting crappy mileage and I used 44K and it got back some mpg, same with a friends Volvo.

    Because like now with chargers they're at stores like the grocery or your work. Restaurants and other places will put them in since you don't need much. There's one at a community college near me, all of my offices and they're putting them in at strip mall type places like where the movie theater is. You'll basically pull into a McDonalds or wherever and park and charge and eat your meal, take a poop, and get back on the road.

    Which you can pay off for the normal remaining price of the plan and technically you aren't on contract. The only contract is if you do the "some money down on an iphone and then lower monthly payments" but that way actually does cost you more, but I rarely see it available from cell phone companies nowadays.

    I never do anything to my iphones, keep them in cases, minimize drops, etc. I've always had to take them back in and get a new one within a year. I normally take them back one more time before the applecare runs out as well.

    When I bought an iPhone 6s plus they told me the warranty was 30 days and applecare took it out to a year, so only 11 more months. Used to be 1 year and 1 more year.

    But the wages for those jobs create the high costs, less people needing to live their for work will drive the cost down.

    Why do you think that? When I did all the math there was zero incentive to buy a new iPhone outright. Apple and phone companies offered the same payment plan, Apples included Apple Care and if you purchased Apple Care separately then it was the exact same price either way over the two year contract and the same cost if bought outright and with Apple Care.

  19. Most of the autonomous driving systems don't work well in the rain and can't function in snow.

  20. BLIS is weak mostly because the rain and stuff can mess it up. But it did prevent me from running a motorcycle over when I was driving my moms XC home from the dealer when BLIS was still new. On the interstate a few years back I watched an SUV slowly come out of it's lane and gently sideswipe a car next to it. I see cars leave their lane accidently all the time, especially during turns or long straightaways when people are on their phones. Lane control is going to be super helpful in cars.

    I never understand all these types of articles talking about music. Literally Jack/BOB FM are the only ones playing music during rush hour. Other than that it's all dumb ass talk radio with idiots. Their jokes are dumb, no cursing, and of course they're all basically the same. And nowadays they're syndicated from who knows where.

  25. Re:Impossible to avoid carbs in the US on Large-Scale Dietary Study: Fats Good, Carbs Bad (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Makes you eat a lot of fresher foods being on a low carb diet. Restaurants are a constant, "Can I get this without this, or can I sub something else for this," and usually they're very cool about it. Surprisingly McDonald's is easy to eat at, you just tell them no bun or biscuit and you're good to go. Ask for extra lettuce and you just snuck yourself a salad.
