So there’s also not much incentive for the people running the service to do any more than the bare minimum.

They didn’t give this up during negotiations though, this was before they even sat at the table.

Who owns Amtrak anyway?

That sounds absolutely vile.

Pretty much no button these days directly controls something, it’s routed through the BMS. Headlights may be one of the few that are switched without some type of computer in between, possibly power windows too?

And they’re all on a PCB.

Ooh, I do like this one.

But why the secrecy?

I feel these goobers should be punished by writing lines.

Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement doesn’t work.

Oh, area 51 being used for testing classified aircraft isn’t really a secret.

It’s very clear from this exchange that you don’t know dick about electronics.

Which is why the phone also monitors charge and discharge, or current through the battery.

My understanding is that happens constantly as the battery is charged and discharged.

I’ve seen comments from auto manufacturers outright stating this. I think they also overestimated how much consumers care about touchscreens.

Phones don’t use lead acid batteries, genius. I don’t know why you think that study is relevant.

Also, your phone knows what the temperature of the battery is, and almost certainly takes that into account, although this affects the output voltage but not the amount of energy stored.

I think the US government actively encouraged the UFO craze, because it drew attention away from the experimental aircraft they were testing, like the SR-71 blackbird.

Nah, that’s purely a cost saving measure. Shitty touch screens are cheaper than buttons.

You can get a voltage sensor that is accurate to three decimal points for literal cents, so yes, your phone does know how much energy is left in the battery. It also has current sensors, so knows how much energy is being used.

Oh, he’s in the files for sure.

Yeah, this is just sad.

That depends if we’re in the Matrix or not. Neo would just be a regular dude otherwise.

That’s a pretty effective caltrop.
