Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the “right to repair” law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.
I guess that’s one way to make people give up cars in favor of public transportation.
You must not be american. It is literally not an option here.
Please accept my most sincere condolences.
Ive always wondered how do y’all get stuff back and forth from stores? Like heavy things or items that are needed in bulk.
Here the only way to get stuff yourself is with the car or ordering online, it isn’t normal to ship basic items also with things like doordash that is becoming mor normal if buying wood to make home repairs there is no shipping it to houses or walking with it.
First, things are a lot more compact here. It takes me five to seven minutes to reach the nearest local supermarket on foot. That makes it a lot easier to shop at higher frequency but lower load - good exercise too. Of course, that won’t work for larger or special items. For larger loads, locally in Denmark, we’ve got these wonderful things. Obviously, nobody’s going to transport a new fridge or a 1-tonne pallet of wood briquettes on one of those. For that sort of thing, almost all retailers of such things do delivery. It’s more efficient. Instead of everybody having to own their own trucks that are used (relatively) infrequently, stores or manufacturers either independently maintain vehicles that are in constant use or out-source that service to companies specializing in handling logistics. It uses less resources for one company to handle maintenance of say, five vehicles servicing the needs of a hundred customers than for all those 100 customers to all have to own their own vehicles with the same capacity.
Hmm that’s interesting, its like, we have all those things too but they just aren’t for consumers, like the vehicle delivery stuff here is a thing but its not widely used and is typically for special occasions.
Some places are compact enough to be walkable for most things, usually in big cities but sometimes in suburbs we will have a shopping center of some sort that has all the basic needs really close but very rare for it to be in a suburb and reasonably walkable but still technically walkable. Kinds funny because I’m thinking about how perspective change a lot here, I know Columbia isn’t in the us but I’ve seen some people migrate to Columbia and basically you just walk miles to get toyour things and occasionally order online but more often people have a address somewhere else and you just pick up your things yearly in some way and cars and bikes exist over there but basically only for traveling for vacation or something of the sort far away.
I’ve literally never seen something like that wheely car box before lol, that does seem pretty fun.
Just today actually I got in our truck to bring home a washer since ours broke yesterday, its actually kinda hit or miss if someone has access to a truck or van I think here people just mostly don’t do things themselves and they just have companies fix stuff for them so a lot of us lazy Americans don’t even really need big cars and if they also worked from home they may not even need a car at all if biking and ubering can get a few things, for the longest time we would borrow my grandpas truck occasionally but now my brother and my dad have trucks.
My brother has a super beefy truck meant for hauling things and we definitely HAUL lol we use his dump trailer so often for things now its hard to image not having it, just today I helped load it up with leaves and he dumped it at the dump, we used it to move furniture from my grandmas house across states because it would have cost stupid amounts of money to pay for this service, we use it to dump our own messes and other peoples messes too and if we didn’t we would just not really have a clear avenue for getting rid of them because its big stuff that can’t be put in trash and paying for a service to do it costs money which feels like it shouldn’t but does, we can also load up the dump trailer with things to build our deck and we happen to live unusually close to a store that basically has all the things for anything basically so we just drive like 10 minutes and get all the things for projects and usually have to make multiple of these trips per project because nothing ever goes smoothly.
I guess it really just depends a lot, countryside is basically more like columbia and city is more like, well, we know cities lol and then there is steps in between depending on a city being more or less happening.
Those bicycles (called ‘ladcycler’) are remarkably useful. People use them for all sorts of things, including transporting their kids to and from kindergarten etc. I’ve never tried it myself, but the kids always look like they’re having a blast.
The thing is, everything - including supermarkets - tends to be smaller here, but also dotted everywhere. I’ve got like three different places for daily grocery shopping within easy walking distance (ten minutes each way), and I’m sort of in the suburbs.
When it comes to trash, public sanitation services are rather effective here. Trash is sorted into paper/cardboard, glass, plastic, organic waste and other. All of them are routinely picked up on different schedules. The first three are recycled, organic waste is either composted or fermented for biogas production with is then used to heat homes or fuel local public transportation (busses). The last category is burned at high temperatures, with the exhaust heavily filtered and the resulting energy used to provided house heating and / or hot water. There are three more infrequent trash collection cycles: Potentially dangerous materials (chemicals, paint, batteries, e-waste), gardening waste (again, composting or biogas - lots of people with gardens do their own composting too - the containers and worm cultures are provided by the municipality for free) and lastly ‘large trash’. This is stuff like furniture, fridges, washing machines etc. That’s picked up once every month on a specific date. A lot of people recycle or upcycle locally by napping stuff before it’s hauled off (which is legal and encouraged).
All in all, a lot of these things are taken care of by people specializing in it and funded by taxes. We pay more in taxes here, but we also get a lot more services in return.
If people know they’re going to be creating lots of waste of a given type - home improvement or construction - you can have a container delivered and picked back up for a fairly modest fee. Similarly, moving homes is generally handled by dedicated companies in standardized moving crates provided by them. It’s not particularly expensive.
Yeah, i watched the video and the dude just yap and yap and yap non-stop, and the actual content is only at the front of it.
That trick works with all EPB, you can also take off the motor and turn the mechanism yourself, that’s how all backyard mechanic does it for every car with EPB without buying the tools meant for workshop. There’s nothing special to it. Dude could’ve save a lot by send it to dealership instead.
Edit: also all car with EPB works that way, this is not uniquely hyundai, you need a scan tool to retract that piston, or you do it the way backyard mechanic do. There’s like so much unnecessary drama here.
You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
How’s that boot taste?
Anyone that doesn’t agree with you and the guy’s boot you’re licking is a bootlicker. Nice, it’s always projection. This place isn’t much different than reddit after all, full of idiots that know nothing but want to proof everything. Easily manipulated by the slimeball too it seems.
Im confused. Who am I manipulated by?
How’s the boot taste?
The drama is that this is an entirely unnecessary step that adds extra work for the technician/owner that wants to change rear brake pads/rotors, which are a wear item.
I’ve been doing brakes on mine and my family’s cars for over a decade. It’s dramatically cheaper to buy pads and rotors and swap them myself, and if I do it myself I know that it was done right and there’s antiseize everywhere it should be. So now in addition to all the work of jacking the car up, removing tires, removing the calipers, depressing the caliper, cleaning the hub, coating the hub with antiseize, cleaning the guide pins, reinstalling and torquing everything to spec, I now have to get a battery/transformer/charger and wire into a sensor to tell the stupid fucking computer that the pads and rotors are new. Why can’t the computer use a position sensor to just detect that there’s now thicker material there? Why isn’t there just an option in the maintenance settings that you can press to say that you’ve done the work and to reset the maintenance interval? Fuck this shit, doing brakes is already a time sink if you live in the rust belt, and this system adds nothing but an extra cost or extra work to the person performing the work. There’s no safety gain from it existing, it’s fucking stupid.
For us technician? It’s a very quick work. For you guys? It’s an additional 30min per side, give or take, and for a job that you’ll be only doing once per few years if you don’t drift. Rear brake wear significantly slower than the front, and this is a rear brake issue. That’s the drama. You guys are crying about additional work for something that you do once a few years.
you can also take off the motor and turn the mechanism yourself, that’s how all backyard mechanic does it for every car with EPB
I’m a mechanic and no, you cannot do that
What’s the odd, i’m a mechanic too, and yes you can, you just don’t know about it.
I dunno what that link is but no, you can’t. There’s no way to turn them.
You’re just a very bad mechanic ehh, unwilling to learn, and unwilling to compromise.
