Sounds like a warranty issue to me. I'd say take all affected units back to the dealership and have them serviced.
Maybe there will be a recall.
And to think Apple is rumored to be making a car...;)
"And on the news today, another 3000 AppleCars have suddenly shifted into reverse, accelerating to full speed, causing numerous accidents around the Cupertino area..." "In other news, Emperor Trump has decreed that the new NSA's great firewall is online and is making America great again...."
I thought that curved screens were more of a marketing gimmick, especially at smaller sizes, where the immersion effect is less noticeable? The article I cited below refers to large screen TV's viewed at a distance; I wonder how this rule applies to smaller screens viewed up close?
"Our experience to date is that the effectiveness of curved screens is directly proportional to their size. With all of the 55-inch models we’ve tested the curve’s benefits felt pretty minimal, while some of the problems – particularly the sweet spot issues – were more noticeable. With the 65-inch models it's easier to appreciate the picture benefits while feeling less aggrieved by the negatives (except for the reflections one). Bigger screens support more viewers more easily too. Despite enjoying the 65-inch models, though, our feeling is that the curve will only potentially feel of significant benefit at truly colossal sizes of 70 inches or more."
Has anyone used a smaller curved screen? Does it improve the viewing experience?
Depends on which gender I feel like identifying with in the morning... j/k
I'm a dad.
And the therapy bit is a joke. Once the kids are a little older and can help with a new baby, we will make the decision. Until then we are still recovering from new parents syndrome...
Places of formal education (AKA state run child indoctrination centers) have no business teaching children what the Parents should be doing from day 1.
I for one welcome being the parental overlord in my family!;)
And when something goes wrong, or the system is compromised:
- Heater goes on and stays on, on a sweltering hot day - Lights start communicating in morse code - Freezer decides your food is too cold - Garage door opens, and stays open on a very cold day
I have twins that just turned two. I have seen everything you described play out in my wife and I's lives.
- Diapers are not so bad, until it's 2 am and I have work the next day. - Puke washes away and becomes a funny story. - The bank account does not stay as full, as the diapers, wipes, and endless accessories are installed. - The real kicker is the realization that something as simple as going to the store to get milk and eggs (when alone) is a HUGE ordeal, especially at 40 below zero. - Being a good parent requires being healthy emotionally, unless you wish to see the painful consequences of bad choices made affect your kids
100% commitment is required 100% of the time. But it's worth it!
I agree it's a terrible excuse. Some males do the right thing after they get a female pregnant, and they should be applauded. Does our "look out for number 1" society applaud this?

The headphone was how the tin foil hat was connected.
Darn it! FOILED again!
What government agency is the ETC? ;)
Eternal Tracking Council?
Big brother is showing tonight on YouTube.
Attendance is mandatory!
All we need to do is load up a bunch of these phones into a fleet of un-recalled Toyota's... we will have out of control racing fire bombs!
"On the news today: 110010001000 has gone missing, along with his new smart phone.
In other news, yet another mysterious explosion has occurred. What is causing them, and what will explode next!?"
The transmission only goes in one direction... forward.
Driving in reverse, similar to right clicking on a mouse is too difficult for new drivers to learn.
Is there anyone who uses the Internet that has NOT been affected by a malicious hack?
Let's just make everything easy and all use the password 12345.
That's the smartest password I've ever heard of in my life! That's the kinda thing a genius would do ... I've got the same combination on my luggage!
Just "dial back" the computer clock before the one year mark hits...
It will in 2017. Everyone knows that is the year of Linux you insensitive anonymous clod! :)

480p ought to be enough for anybody.
I decided to take a walk on the wild side and stayed one minute over 40 hours on a Friday. It was amazing how productive those 60 seconds were.
I heard the company's stock price doubled on Monday. I may do it again sometime. It felt invigorating.
Once our new robot overlords do all the jobs, we better hope this is a common arrangement. Otherwise we will be in for difficult times.
I just saw they are hiring for your job. Funny, it says in the first line of the job description: Only hiring AI
I snuck in and saw who they were interviewing, I was dumbstruck.
Clippy Smith
MS Bob
Cortana
Dr. Siri
AZ Echo
G. Now
I suspect it will either be Bob or Clippy. They have the most experience.
Sorry to bring such bad news.

Heh...
I'm sure they are smart enough to know how in a few more years
Let's hope we raise them to be upstanding kids who won't use that knowledge
Or just stay several steps ahead...
And when something goes wrong, or the system is compromised:
- Heater goes on and stays on, on a sweltering hot day
- Lights start communicating in morse code

- Garage door opens, and stays open on a very cold day
That does explain the deja-vu I keep getting all the tim -- did you see that cat?
To quote C3PO:
"Droids making droids... how perverse!"
Something as simple as getting a full night of uninterrupted sleep is akin to winning the power ball after becoming a parent!
Sanity is measured by how much remains at bed time, not by how much one looses.
Money? What money? We operate a "feed the cherubs fund!"
Yes, it is worth it. I don't know why I say that some days, but it is!

My real kids ALREADY do this! ;)
They invade every area of my house
They steal my phone
They try to hijack the TV
They encrypt my hard drive and loose the key
(OK, I made that one up)
I think that would be more like running /etc/password through a shredder and expecting to still logon without issue.

No.
