Silly typo, thanks for the spot that's been fixed. Good tip about the battery though, so long as you remember to put it back in!

Malware can and does exist on iPhones. Sideloading isn't the only source

If you go back and read it again, you'll notice that this was never an Android problem - it's a smart home issue. But an Android exclusive feature was the reason I was able to get some resolution.

Unfortunately the trade-ins here aren't nearly so generous. It wouldn't even cover a quarter of the price of a 128GB model. Not that it would have mattered to me, I was going to repurpose my old phone regardless, but it means there may be more than a few people similarly put off my the high...

There's nothing hateful about pointing out impractical and anti-consumer decisions.

Apple is almost guaranteed to have a USB-C to USB-A cable you can buy. If not third parties will be filling in the void, so car connectivity shouldn't be an issue. — even if any random USB-C cable you have lying around doesn't work

Unfortunately it's not the case that's the problem! I've no idea if it can conduct wireless charging because there's a popsocket grip and a magnet (for the stand in my car) in the way. Unfortunately both those things are more important to me than the convenience of not peeling the case off...

Now that you say that, t's a wonder I didn't realize that earlier. Such a simple mistake! I may have to go round and take another look round the frames

It was rented from Hertz, they have a fleet of Model 3, Model Y and Polestar 2s. They're not the only rental company to carry EVs, but they have been buying them in fairly large numbers

How to tell people you didn't read the article without actually saying it

Full autonomy is still a way off, and even Elon Musk has just admitted that achieving it is significantly harder than he thought. Then we have to consider the legislative response, and the rollout of services and infrastructure to support it — both of which are pretty slow-moving machines...

Well either way you look at it, it still makes the Hatchback an incredibly important car. The $25k price tag will appeal to those people who don't look beyond the initial purchase price, while the fact it's an electric Tesla means that the long term cost of running it will be less than an...

The goal of this trip wasn't just to get to my brother's wedding. It was so I could personally experience what the Leaf can do long distance. There's only so much of that you can work out on a test drive, or driving within 10 miles of home. That's also why I left far too early, because I wasn't...

If I could afford a Tesla, I wouldn't have a Leaf. At the very least I wouldn't have the entry level model
