Well, that was a bit of an under-exaggeration. I'd charge it overnight. So first thing in the morning, it would have a full charge. It would be critically low, if not shut off by midnight; often by ten, and sometimes even by 8pm. It became unreliable at the height of its useful period.
Up until a couple of months ago I was still running 2.2.2 on my phone, and I was still getting updates. I'd still be using it now if certain software that I wanted ran on it, and if the battery lasted more than half a day.
I've been reading about this electronic shifter issue for some time before Anton's unfortunate death and I could not understand the insistence of Chrysler to keep at it for years when there were over 100 documented crashes and so many complaints.
Chrysler is keeping at it because it's easier to run a wire than to run a mechanical linkage. Without worrying about the linkage, they can use the same transmission in multiple styles of vehicle. It's probably easier for electronic traction control as well. As far as sales, adding the word "electronic" in front of things boosts sales. Adding bells and whistles is merely an adjustment to the vehicles software. Besides, "over 100 documented crashes" is barely on the radar when it comes to fundamental shifts (if you'll pardon the expression) in technology.
So, if warrantless searches of internet connected machines are allowed, does that include whatever might be gleaned by activating that computer's webcam and microphone? Is a laptop now a warantless wiretap device? If it is legal for the state to bait people into installing tracking malware, how far of a step is it for them to bait folks into installing monitoring software?
Because verbing proper nouns is still a line we don't cross in the USA. For now.
I think it might be. Let me Google some examples:
So I should FedEx the parcel to the following address...
Look, you've got duct tape. Why don't you just MacGyver something to keep it from sliding sideways.
Ms Finnigan, would you Xerox this order.
Billy said he would Skype me once he settles in.
You can Photoshop her out of the photo, can't you?
And, of course: I can't reach the website. It must be being Slashdotted.
I know! I posted a comment about an astronaut releasing a Jeannie from a bottle and trying to avoid the NASA psychiatrist, and some punk tried to correct my spelling - twice.
During adverse weather, your government actually will shut down the streets?
Yes, they will; even major freeways. I was on the 401 a few years back when part of it was shut down due to a winter storm. Traffic wasn't moving, so I got out of my car and went to talk to the folks in front of me. Also read a chapter of my book. All this on a road that normally sees 100+km/h traffic 24/7/365.

Or they'll just average out the price and maybe you'll get a new one and maybe you'll get a used one.
You mean the part where someone burned the wrong values into a lookup table?
I was unaware that you could do Android or iOS on a standard PC. Where do you get the install media?
Remember when they where gaining subscribers because of Lost?
We should only allow clear plastic clothes...
Ah! The true reason behind American obesity: Security through disgust.
Hacking email is not an act of war.
If the president's job really is not to wield power, but to divert attention away from those who do, Trump will make a most excellent president.

How much smoke is emitted by a child who's fallen into a well? Or a vehicle that's rolled over in the ditch?
Up until June, I was. I decided to switch when certain services were no longer supported by the phone.

I've never had that problem in 40+ years of using headphone jacks and plugs. Maybe you're using them improperly.
Does this mean that we won't be getting Doctor Who torrents come December?
Quite a number of people have the TV on just to give some background noise - a cheesy soap opera is better than silence.
... to apply the parking brake whenever parking the car...
I suspect that most people don't do this except when parking on a steep hill.

... and auto-applies when I've braked manually on a hill until the car pulls forward,,,
Sounds useless if you're parked nose downhill.
Telegrams were rarely encrypted anyway. Besides, Western Union shut down their telegraph services a decade ago.

It's about taking control without the expense of running an election.

Canada doesn't have the IRS, friendly or otherwise, so... not a problem.
Well, I guess you don't know my friend Steve Austin. He used to be an astronaut, you know. His last crash cost US about six million dollars, man.
