Ford has cell phone modems in their electric (Focus Electric) and PHEV (C-Max and Fusion) cars. According to the service manual a lot of information is provided to that modem but only a small part shows up on the App or website. No way of knowing if the modem just uploads that limited subset of data or if everything is uploaded with the rest kept for Ford use only.
They missed out on my data for the 1st 3.4 years I owned my PHEV because the original modems only did 2G AT&T and our AT&T tower only had 3G (it was installed after the 2G shutdown was announced). Ford finally replaced all the modems at the very very end of 2016 with 3G models.
For the last couple of decades 24 bit A/D converters have been used to digitize the output of seismometers so we don't do this anymore. Previously 16 bits was pretty much all you could get so if the input signal got too high there would be circuitry to reduce the voltage into the A/D to keep it from saturating.
Locally administered addresses are often used for low volume products where someone doesn't want to deal withe IEEE. Some dataloggers I was working on around the turn of the century used local addresses made up of a common 16 most significant bit code (with the local bit set) and the 32 least significant bits coming from a Dallas one-wire serial number chip. At the time IEEE wouldn't even let Dallas sell chips with MAC addresses in them. I think eventually IEEE gave in.
Nissan did make available a new cell phone available for the Leaf. If it was pretty new car it was free, otherwise the customer had to pay.
Ford made available new cell phone modems for it's two plug-in hybrid models as well it's all electric model. There was no charge for this.
I think the newer Leafs got a free replacement modem, older ones had to pay. Ford provided free replacement 3G modems for the Focus Electric and the two Energi PHEV models. Kind of surprised me. So my "MyFord Mobile" finally started working for me at the end of November after I got the new modem. We have AT&T 3G, never did have 2G here because the tower was installed after the announced 2G shutdown back in August 2012.
Of course, Ford's software still sucks.
I still use Opera 12.16 as my main browser just because it is the last version that had integrated email. Maybe someday Vivaldi will live up to their long running promise of having integrated email.
Nissan Leafs use AT&T 2G modems to connect to the server, so do Ford's Focus Electric and Energi PHEVs. AT&T 2G dies at the end of 2016 so I guess the problem will solve itself eventually.
SodaStream in the US has discontinued the traditional soda flavor syrups in favor of what they call "Waters". Apparently after wasting millions on a superbowl commercial in a stupid attempt to compete with Coke and Pepsi they decided that what people really want is lightly flavored water.
On second thought, maybe "UrineStream" would be a better name.
Unfortunately some GPS receivers use a slightly different method, although it works out in the end.

It's been a long time since I was in a Dick Smiths but it sure reminded me of Radio Shack. Went to a JayCar near Christchurch a few years ago and was impressed.
While GPS receivers are supposed to use 23:59:60 a receiver I was testing the last time there was a leap second did indeed generate 23:59:59 twice. Our software now accepts either. We're getting started on a new system this year, hopefully we'll get a selection of GPS receivers wired up to see what they do on June 30th.

I have the same combination on my luggage.

Tesla's can't charge from a CCS plug. While Tesla does have an adapter for CHAdeMo, they haven't come out with one for CCS.

Since those days, horsepower in the U.S. has almost doubled, with the median model climbing from 145 to 283 stallions.
How many is that in Geldings?

How about New New Zealand?

Norway is in the process, region by region, of shutting down FM radio. Even though many cars aren't equipped with DAB receivers.
It seems that the GOP is is our biggest existential threat.

If you are driving from Kristiansand to Trondheim wouldn't you just take E18 over to Oslo and then Route 3 up to Trondheim?
Which comes at the end of this year. https://www.business.att.com/enterprise/Portfolio/internet-of-things/cd2migration/page=addl-info/

Does "Least Developed Countries" include the U.S.?

Vacuum controlled vent controls are old school. My 2013 Ford C-Max uses stepping motors for air routing and mixing.

Apparently not. Electric Parking Brakes seem to be common on upscale vehicles.

They've been working on that a long time. Brian Cox visited there in a 2008 episode of BBC Horizon. I'm sure you can find a video on-line.
