Man, I haven't thought of the Evil Overlord List in many, many years. Thanks for that.

Thank you for standing up to the slavering morons around here about bad statistical graphics.

All I'm getting out of this is that police are, in fact less than 50% effective, so we'd better plan on dealing with it ourselves.

According to the article, they're going for multiple counts of money laundering and wire fraud with 20 years each.

Yeah, I worked in a secure facility that did this and it felt both secure and reasonable. I just kept my card on a lanyard to my belt so I literally couldn't walk away without pulling the card.

Let's not forget about HotHardware. They're still carrying the torch of detailed hardware analysis as well my beloved NotebookCheck.

I've found that's because their mice will go to sleep and upon first waking they'll briefly use an onboard profile before switching to the G Hub profile. This is also why it might feel like it has a different DPI briefly or different light settings for just a flash. The only way to fix this is to use their totally separate OnboardMemoryManager software to change the onboard settings while running G Hub. It solved this issue for me and it's infuriating that this isn't built into G Hub...

According to the description, it's just the sensor, not the latch. The microswitch has a lever like many do and that lever can become bent if damaged which would prevent it from warning the user if they failed to latch the hood. Most older cars just had a secondary latch so if you failed to latch it completely, at least the secondary one would catch it...

Microswitch lever fatigue is what this sounds like and it's really not the kind of thing that a QA team could ever detect without years of testing. This is just how it'll go as we add more bells and whistles to all our cars. More obscure new issues will be identified years down the line and added to institutional knowledge for future use.

The only way the hood can pop open on the highway is if it was open before you departed, so the warning would alert the user just like the switch did before they can drive to a dangerous speed.

Although the problem is with the hood latch, as with many Tesla safety recalls, the problem can be fixed with an over-the-air software patch.
