They even made 0.18 mods to be 1.0.0 compatible this way the game releases with all mods already up to date.

>The only problem I have with it is it is still really Windows only, hopefully that will improve with .Net Core 3.

I've been writing games in C# that run on Windows, Linux, OSX, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, UWP, AppleTV, Nintendo Switch and more for years now.

Ironically, the most compatibility issues we had was with Windows Phone and UWP.

Funny thing is some games are designed to be boring but still addictive, so that you will pay to skip playing the boring game. It totally blows my mind that people will pay to not play a game.

There is a lot of snow where I live and the ABS triggers all the time and yes some people just slam the brakes expecting their ABS to optimally slow down on ice.

ABS not working as intended could be a surprise to the driver and cause a crash, especially if you become dependent on it.

It's just like that AF 447 crash, they stalled from 38,000 ft to the ground because they never expected the computer to let them stall the plane.

But I mostly agree, the only software things I would see as absolutely life critical on a car would be drive-by-wire controls. All the rest will just either stall it, reduce performance or break something.

On the other hand, they also believe in homeopathy, so you would only need 1 litre of moon water to produce billions.

edit: excalibur beat me to it.

The lineman (and my guess is the pilot too) wear a conducting and fire retardant suit made of metal threads. This essentially acts as a Faraday cage.

Then they are going to make the plastic package part of a cheap accessory for whatever they are selling. They are already doing that to boast the feature list of their products: "Practical widget holder included!"

It's a lie by omission. The title should have been something like: "Nissan Admits Internal Test Data Was Falsified"

Boring, I know.

They paid someone a lot of money to design their UI, so they better do something different from the rest of the world, else they would have wasted money.

I never understood the obsession of all car makers to always design EV and hybrid cars with ugly shapes and black plastic all over the body.

Can I just have a regular car that works on electricity please? Spare me the tacky from-the-future look please.
