You should have anticipated this and directed airflow to the windshield before you start driving.

I have also never experienced spontaneous fogging of the windshield while I'm driving, and I live in Scandinavian weather which is both humid and cold. It's always there when I enter the car. The AC dehumidifies the cabin air while driving so it really shouldn't be fogging the windshield out of the blue while you're driving.

But besides that, steering wheel control or voice control cab enable/disable this in many cars these days.

It's fixed focus, but at the maximum distance which is pretty close the minimum distance for the regular lense.

I updated my comment, I was mistaken.

it does have access to all lenses actually, the auto-focus on the macro lens just doesn't work (making that one useless). It still doesn't do slow-motion recording though.

the LineageOS default cam can use all the lenses, but doesn't have any useful manual settings.

Nope, not on my one+ 9pro at least. It's the same as opencamera, but without the manual control. So it's even worse.

Edit: no it does have access to all lenses actually, the auto-focus on the macro lens just doesn't work (making that one useless). It still doesn't do slow-motion though.

That's a massive downside IMO. I still use it, but not having access to basic things like the macro or wide angle lens or slow motion capture is a major issue that I always find incredibly annoying. My camera is a lot less useful with that app, and I tend to just not take pictures anymore because of it.

For almost 100€ I can just get much more capable hardware with only marginally larger footprint (both physical and power). Unless I needed the pin IO, the pi is a bad deal. And then if youre just beginning you also need a case, SD card and power supply and suddenly that pi is almost 150€ (and still running a shitty 16gb SD card), making it a horrible deal. I got my NUC, 16gb of ram and 1tb NVME for the same price (before upgrades with the default 8gb ram and 120gb nvme it was 65€), if you're planning on a miniature light weight home server setup, its just a no-brainer to not pick the pi.

And the zero doesn't have the ability to use any peripherals except for a display.

I don't know why there is so much Opposition to the pi

It's because they've become way too expensive for what they are. They made perfect sense and filled a gap when they were priced half of what they are now. They've completely lost the direction or purpose they once had, or intentionally changed it to be something else entirely. And it seems that just doesn't align well with many people.

you would know that if you read the article.

I did read it, the snippet I used is from the last part of the article...

Yet they're still inferior to even older x86 hardware. You can pick up a used NUC (or similar) for less than a pi 4 and it blows it out of the water on performance, while using only marginally more power.

This looks more like they intentionally didn't make the gripper on the right close with proper force, especially on the hard products. For soft products a pneumatic/vacuum based tool is normally used instead. Very few robot applications have to pick a wide variety of product types dynamically in a way that makes switching toolheads impossible/too impractical.

Is there a reason you're not just using prusa slicer since that works and cura doesn't?

As soon as they figure out how to actually mass produce them at an affordable price, and fix the swelling issues during high charging currents, they'll be available.

They designed and built a battery that uses up to 70 per cent less lithium than some competing designs.

This is probably a way of phrasing that means it's up to 70% less than the absolute most lithium-requiring designs that few/no one uses, and probably only marginally better than most designs actually used. Since they're very vague about it, I will be sceptical and assume it is way less revolutionary than the headline suggests.

Maybe some sort of Z-lift is enabled for transport moves and not printing moves?

If the traction control is the same as in the model 3, slipping due to pressing the accelerator too hard shouldn't be a big issue. I can literally floor the accelerator from standstill in the snow and the car barely slips at all and just accelerates slowly until it has better traction (obviously didn't do that on public roads but on private road). It is has way better traction control than my old car had.

I think shitty tires are a more likely culprit.

I mean, technically you're not supposed to be fiddling with neither radio, AC or other crap on any car, touch or not, when you're driving. All of that should be set before you start driving anywhere. If you follow the law to the letter, the only thing you should operate while driving, is what can be done from the steering wheel controls and voice control.

Of course that's now how most people actually drive their cars...

Maybe in the US, you'd get fucked as a property owner where I live if you tried that.

There are usually loads of unenforceable terms and definitions in the ToS you sign. Just because you sign it doesn't make it true or enforceable, and many won't hold up in court even if you've signed the document. But that requires you to spend the energy and money to fight these fuckers.

If in was in my 50's having a raging midlife crisis, I would totally get a prowler
