Nah, it's either a skill issue, or your tape measure isn't nearly chonky enough.

The screen is required for the FMVSS standard mandating rear view cameras. The jump in part price from that to touch is less than the amount saved by not having to tool up all the knobs and buttons, paying someone to run wires for all of them, paying someone to assemble all of the fiddly bits, and paying someone to install them in addition to the cost of already installing the screen that would eliminate all the other cost if it were the only input.

When I designed store fixtures, the assembly instructions had to be written at a 3rd grade reading level, and even then were barely followed.

But imagine how many homes that could power!

I was going to say, make the AI responsible for its own nuclear power generation and maintenance and see what happens. Maybe simulate the power plant though.

Well shit, I think I just found either my birthday present or anniversary present for my wife. Depends on when exactly it shows up.

I honestly can't tell which parts are hyperbole and which came from actual events.

There is the Waffle House Index for measuring disaster severity.

Why do the worst games produce the most amazing reviews?

If they are like the trollies I briefly got to get some insight into (got to poke around in the CAD model for a bit and talk to some of the engineers working on it) they might have a small battery pack to carry them over intermitten gaps in grid power delivery. Kind of like a hybrid car battery.

Could the regeneration be putting out a higher current than what the batteries on the subway train can handle? Not very likely, but I guess that's a possibility.

Or if the trains are running on an electrified rail and don't actually carry much battery capacity themselves so regenerative braking fills that small battery and then dumps the rest back to the grid?

I don't particularly feel that either of those situations are likely to be accurate, but I guess someone could have done something weird in the design.

Isnt this how you get crowdstrike? I feel like this is how you get crowdstrike.
