People like eating shit and drinking piss. Every fermented food and drink, be it bread or beer, is full of bacteria and yeast shit and piss. Somehow humans find microbe excrements very tasty.

That’s just a software feature, not a real neutral.

You can’t freewheel on EV, there’s no mechanism for that. You can have a software simulation though, but it’s not needed for anything.

It seems to me that you don’t understand how EVs work. They don’t have gears (usually) and they don’t have a constantly running combustion engine.
Neutral and park (park is just neutral with a break automatically applied) do not exist in EVs, because EVs don’t have a constantly running engine. You only need neutral to disengage the clutch to prevent its wear during stops, because always running engine means that the car is always moving. That’s not happening in EVs.
And you don’t need low/boost because EVs don’t have gears.
So, you only have reverse and drive.

EVs have no gears, they don’t need this stuff. Or they have a manual simulation.

What do you mean? Dacia Spring exists and it starts at £15k. That’s pretty much a budget petrol car price.

What? What is this random stream of words?
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 1 week ago:
I’m talking about regular smart/fitness/sport watches: VivoActive, Venu, Forerunner, Fenix, etc. None of them are dive watches, but they all have the exact same hardware feature set. Battery size and screen resolution are dictated by the watch size and apart from physical dimensions they all are exactly the same.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 1 week ago:
As for apps, Garmin store has some useful apps, which show additional data, and additional sport types, etc, but Garmin shop itself is a bloody cancer. If you want to buy something, most developers opt for a separate PayPal payment or bank transfer, then you need to wait for them to mail you a licence, etc. It’s just a cumbersome piece of shit, which leaves you open to scams, etc.

one model for everything would be quite expensive though given all the extra sensors, better displays, solar charging and stuff the higher end ones have yeah?
That’s the problem with Garmin - it won’t be more expensive. If we ignore optional gimmicks like solar charging, then there are no real hardware differences between VivoActive 5 and Fenix 8 apart from the barometer, which was present in even cheaper VivoActive 3. Depth sensor, for example, is just a software feature of a barometer (you need to calculate depth and altitude differently from the same data).
Garmin is selling software features packaged as different hardware SKUs and charging up to 4x more depending on a feature set. Their product range is extremely large with multiple product families divided into multiple physical products, which all are essentially the same piece of hardware. And today their range is actually more streamlined than it was before.
This is a stark contrast to Apple, for example, where you have one bloody watch and that’s it. Yes, you have different physical sizes to fit different people, you have different materials and finishes to choose from, but when you’re buying an iWatch you’re getting all the features no matter which screen size and arm band you choose.
Garmin should realistically only have two lines of watches - base model which has everything Fenix 8 has for £250-300 to compete with iWatch and advanced model with solar and other gimmicks no one cares about for £650-800 to compete with iWatch Ultra. That’s all.

Garmin is not trying to compete, but Apple and Samsung came and took the market by storm.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 1 week ago:
I don’t want them to add anything, I want them to switch from making a thousand models and selling software features as hardware revisions to making one model which can go do everything and to have a proper app store instead of a joke they have right now.
