Holding on to my X, hoping the app support for iOS 16 continues.

I was really tempted to continue playing along here but then I thought you may just be Autistic and unable to follow….
You appear to be a little aggressive with your messages, normal people don’t communicate in such a confrontational way. Just take a step back, take a deep breath, and try to have civil disagreements with people.
We’re all just here to read some stuff, learn some stuff and try to ignore our real lives for a bit… let’s try and have fun while we’re here.
You of course! Silly goose
Well it looks like they’re missing at least one 😉
If you’d like to post evidence that contradicts my source, please do. “Leaving” for a few days doesn’t count.
I was not discussing anything to do with “switching”, I was discussing users leaving Reddit.
Maybe they encountered so many charming people like you on Lemmy they had to go back to Reddit in case they turned nice?
Would that mean they switched and switched back? Or left and re-joined?
That would be very naughty of the manufacturer on a 2012… the wheel speed sensor would be connected to a computer and speed PID reported on the canbus, the computer should be calibrated to the trim level of the car (and the wheels that it came with) to report the correct speed.
Having said that manufacturers often overestimate speed by ~5% to prevent being blamed for speeding offences.
Seriously only downvotes?
Has no one driven a car with swapped wheels making the speed optimistic or pessimistic?
What about broken/missing temp sensors? Oil pressure gauges? Battery voltage?
The only thing you really need is a speed gauge, and you can get that from the wheels, the gearbox, and GPS. Making it easily three way redundant and have the ability to have a backup via your phone or manual gauge.
This looks like a good fun project, you could make it a HUD and keep all your old gauges.
I think you may be overestimating how far safety standards have come in a very short amount of time. I’ve driven cars from the 1960s up to modern day and anything before the mid 90s would be fare less accurate and reliable than I could cobble together on a RaspberryPI.
Well there are contractors who need to tow heavy machinery around, so about 0.01% of the people that buy them need them.
That’s a terrible thing to say!
…Only joking.
I tried to buy an EV for my parents a couple of weeks ago and the dealer had the EV misinformation playbook memorised and tried to convince us that EVs were a fad and that should get a hybrid until Hydrogen takes over.
I’ve decided that whenever I see these common myths, I’m not going to just let the misinformation go unquestioned.
In this case I think specifically focusing on EVs will generate more clicks for article writers, but it does also feed a common anti-EV narrative that they are somehow worse than ICE cars because of tire wear, which is not true.
I do see the other side that the tires being developed are specifically looking at EV owners, so this is a tough one to get the balance right on, but I do still think the headline is written to stir trouble and generate clicks.
One thing is certain, America needs to stop buying so many trucks!
I agree entirely, but the title of this post suggests that EVs are the problem, but actually it’s heavy vehicles.
Additionally when we say “problem”, particulate pollution from vehicles is 99.9% a diesel problem, and 0.1% a tire problem. (Not actual statistics but let me know how wrong I am with the actual stat)
That explanation is fair enough but the headline is red meat the the EV disinformation brigade.
That is a list of the most sold vehicles in the US. Where are the people lining up to say the ICE trucks that are so popular are causing all this tire pollution?
Those are the most sold vehicles in the US, when you have heavy EV’s in the top slots you can say that heavy ev’s are a problem… until then it’s what you are buying is causing the problem.
2023 top 5 vehicles sold in USA and weight:
1 - Ford F-150 4069-5697lbs
2 - Chevrolet Silverado 4400-6947lbs
3 - Ram pickup 4765-6440lbs
4 - Toyota RAV4 3370lbs
5 - Tesla Model Y 4416lbs
Looks like the only electric on the list is below the average weight. We don’t have these conversations about the trucks.

What kind of backhanded EV misinformation bullshit is this?
Electric, gas, petrol, hydrogen, diesel, cooking oil or vodka; what you put in your car to make it go makes no difference to the tires or the wear.
Ah I see, yes app/web OTP is one of the best methods, unless people are calling to report the app/website not working (a workflow I’ve seen many times) The industry has put hundreds of millions into voice recognition but the sample size required for AI to trick voicerec is really low now.
You actually want them to do this, it’s terrifying easy to set up a cell tower or call centre and convince banks and people you are customers or banks.
On the X and wondering if the Max is too much of a jump for me. Although it’s another year where I’m not really seeing a big reason to upgrade.
Big fan BTW, your lounge chairs are cool AF.
