That was a PHEV

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 ;)

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.

That must be it, I wasn’t smart enough to link the actual image URL, I linked the post as you wrote 😆

Interesting tip on linking the url, I will try it. Tested it in the past but I think I did something different and didn’t work as I hoped

It’s marketable, remarkable or not is secondary, point is faster than anything else :) Everyone knows that sub-something 0-to-something-else straight line acceleration spec for an ev is exactly what our planet needs right now! Jokes aside, all these “super” vehicles are either to make huge profits with margins a-la-Ferrari or to push the brand aka pure advertising. And honestly, this is one of the most entertaining advertising around!

Does it mean the end of no subscription professional editing suite or is it a good thing?

I like Schneid Kaffee in Munich, but it’s a bit out of the city center.

Hi, viele tolle Podcasts wurden schon empfohlen. Ich füge nur einen für mich sehr interessanten englischsprachigen hinzu:

• Huberman Lab Podcast

Es geht um wissenschaftliches Wissen über Gesundheit und Menschenverhalten, mit viele Tipps die man tagtäglich anwenden kann.

As far as I know, the “four thirds” mount was an open, with the same sensor size as its successor, the “micro four thirds” mount. The former was a DSLR system, the latter is a mirrorless system. I don’t think there are any commercially available interchangeable lens cameras with that aspect ratio, that don’t use either of the two standard mounts - they are both from the Micro Four Thirds Standard Group (link).

Canon latest mirrorless bodies are awesome and also good value (but stay away from the R100). As others have said, good native RF lenses are expensive. They have also cheaper options, but what they miss is the good value middle ground usually represented by Sigma and Tamron. One big upside is the EF to RF adapter, that works very well and lets you use the lens you already have before investing. Remember that a lens remains with you decades, contrary to a body, and paying a bit more could really be a good choice in the long run. Just my view, a bit in contrast with many steering you away from Canon. Quality wise, there’s no difference between brands: most importantly a camera should disappear in your hands and be really ergonomic - go in a shop and handle them all!

I despise this SUV trend, too, but isn’t it a bit extreme to judge a person just by the car they drive? The majority of people don’t even think about it and the market is flooded with these things, so they have less and less choice. There are cases where SUVs make sense, in mountainous regions and where it snows a lot, but I agree that space has to be better used and public space respected.

Take a look at Keychron: they make mechanical keyboards of different price levels with the most diversified layouts and features. Usually they have a switch to change from Mac to Win layout and have Bluetooth and wired versions.
