Tesla Recalling 3 Million Cars in China Because of Hidden Door Handles

Reply in thread

Tesla door handle technically could work without electricity, because when you press one end in (risking to break your finger), the other end pops out and you can drag it. This is slightly inconvenient, but as I understand, the most problems were linked to dicks-for-hands engineers designing the car the way where doors can stay locked in case of an accident. So handle or not, you can't open the door and let a person out of a burning car.

What's something cool you've made?

I've made an android app for splitting expenses. I was so frustrated when I was in charge of the excel sheet with my friends geoup New Year"s trip expenses, that I started working on it and I pushed it in production in the end of July. Which is especially great because I have a sizeable graveyard of things that I was burning for and then completely abandoned.
It's called WEREVEN, it's free, has no ads (maybe I will monetize it in the future, but I don't want to annoy 20 people who use it), and I don't collect your personal data.

And that’s how I live my life

There was a great South Park episode about the term "removed" getting a new officially accepted meaning of "a loud annoying biker", so that you could distinguish annoying loud bikers farting around on their harleys, and nice gay people.

Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024

Google Reader shutdown has completely changed the way I was ingesting information. It was so convenient, I always had 2-3 days worth of articles, web comics and news for reading.
Another problem was that many sites shifted to providing only parts of articles instead of full versions, and it was still the time when I wasn't always online to finish reading.

Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?

I do that all the time. A thing is a thing, and it can be your thing now. I only try to ask myself two things:

  1. Do I really need that?
  2. Is it in a good condition? I have a lot of used stuff at home, so if I took something half-broken, it would look like a dumpster already.

Sidenote: I live in Denmark, where people overconsume, and then get rid of stuff which is still in good condition.
