Perez is so slow, slowing down on an outlap is not enough to let him through

Yes it feels secure. The magnets are very strong and the locking geometry has tight tolerances, so that on the cutting plane there is no movement whatsoever. And even when a side force is applied to the blade tip, the blade moves but remains engaged, because the two magnets in the back keep it in place. The only thing to look for is avoid scraping the blade edge to the inner side of the body - the mechanism is very “fidgety” but using it too much dulls the blade. You can avoid this scraping by pulling the edge away, but you have to purposely think about it. I even imported it to Europe from the US, so to you it will cost surely less than to me ;)

My office carry is the Exceed Designs TiRant Razor-M: awesome mechanism and really compact. Really expensive, too…

Here paired with its sibling flashlight EDC:

That was a PHEV

I just know of Plus12: they make normal socks with asymmetric shape to avoid restrict the foot. I would like to try them myself but didn’t yet. But they are not cheap and maybe not widely available - I think they are based in Europe.

Nice little QoL feature right there!

Western companies joined the slave labor train. Apart from niche and boutique manufacturers, almost any product has a lot of parts produced in China.

Ngl, a touchscreen iMac would be something ;)

I don’t know what it takes for a basketball shoe to be good, but one bootie-style light shoe like the Freet Kidepo and the Sole Runner Surtur and T1 look like the nearest you can get. Maybe a thicker insole could help with impacts if landing without proper form. The only other wide shoes with more cushioning that come to mind are Lems, but they don’t have indoor sports boots, just low-cut sneakers.

They did :) Even with the preorder complication and the choice of emitter by email, got everything right and fast.

I would place this breakthrough for humanity higher than moon landing but lower than vaccines. How could we live without this before?!

No I think the level 3 is only available in selected countries, roads and speeds. It’s called Drive Pilot and it’s not the one they are using in the video.

You got me here, wasn’t even aware that the Mercedes system is officially a level 2 with Steer Control that is supposed to do much better than seen in the video. I still think they should have compared with the more basic Autopilot, though, as this is what consumer report evaluated and the safety problems of Tesla’s lack of driver monitoring are there.

I edit my first comment according to what I learned through the discussion :)

I just care about proper and honest reporting. I’d have a Tesla any day over a Mercedes, for many reasons, but bashing systems based on the wrong assumptions is wrong. They are showing a line keeping assistant that requires steer control at all times (Merc) and a system that aims to be unsupervised - only that it should supervise and doesn’t do it properly, hence the lower score in many tests and the federal investigations in the USA.

MB Driver Assist could be compared with Tesla Autopilot. FSD does obviously much more in that is a “Level 3 beta”, albeit always level 2 because of its development stage. The yet to be released Drive Pilot from Mercedes - the Level 3 automated driving system - could be compared with Tesla FSD, that is a comparison I would gladly see!

Btw, the start of the video on the consumer report evaluation is about Driver Assist and Autopilot. The car in the video then runs FSD.

This comparison doesn’t make any sense, why bother?

EDIT: actually quite interesting in how bad the Mercedes lane keeping is even though with a Level 2 automation should do better. Misleading title and video beginning, because Consumer Reports evaluated Autopilot and not FSD.

The switch is out of metal, with LED indicator in the middle (blue as the idle color, red or green while charging I think)

You’re right! I suspected that during the video, but wasn’t sure and thought I was mistaken as I don’t have my iPad with me. This reminds me about how much I use those cameras! :D

NOT compatible with current iPad lineup, just with the 4 new iPads shown today.
