Was pretty interesting seeing the Gen3 car they had in the fan area at some of the Formula E races last year with no rear brakes. They still had front brakes (article states otherwise, not sure if they meant rear or if there was some later change I am not aware of).

At any rate, definitely exciting to see the performance levels starting to eclipse the combustion counterparts while being lower cost.

Another likely reason for the engine 2 compressor stall is due to debris from the left wing being ingested. Either way though, as you pointed out, it wasn't going to fly on one remaining engine with that takeoff weight.

Unfortunately it only had older still photos and videos, nothing from the last dive. Looks like they had the camera configured to send the data to the onboard computers and those were smashed into a soild mass, of which, no data was able to be recovered from.

That site is something special.... Basically lobbying against renewable energy, promoting "the hydraulic fracturing revolution", and stating how bad an Obama policy was in nearly every article.

Appreciate the link, I didn't see the website was in a repository. I opened an issue.

Looks interesting but I am curious about their 'Community Survey' results, this line in particular:

From this we can see that the majority is currently running on Windows (47 users across the various versions), followed by Linux users across a few different distros (57 users across Mint(9), Ubuntu(13), Fedora (3), Debian(13), FlatPak(5), Mageia(1), Slackware(2), Arch(9), Gentoo (1), PCLinuxOS (1)).

I am not a mathematician or anything, so quite possible I missed something, but wouldn't the 57 Linux users be the majority?

For sure, I agree the phone integration is a better solution and could easily take the place of any connection requirements for the vehicle, was just providing insight into why any consumer might justify it.

Why the manufacturers push it would be a totally different answer...

Do you want realtime traffic updates, live charger status, streaming entertainment, software updates, emergency crash response, Wi-Fi hotspot, remote alarm status and controls, remote telematics? If yes to any of those, then you have your answer.

Of course, simply having a connection opens it up for privacy abuses, just like a smartphone, there are number of reasons why consumers would want a connected vehicle.

Who pays if you get myocarditis from COVID?

"The casks are expected to last 50–100 years...". Let's see 2025-1972=53 years. Sounds like it is nearing time to start replacing these or to figure out a better solution to reuse the high level waste.
