That's unfortunate, I guess. I mean, even though I do have my phone set to only charge up to 85%, I don't really know if this is battery protective or not.
Is it?
I just enabled the option because the description of the feature claimed it to be. I haven't researched this at all
Are you sure you don't already have something like this? My android is a couple years old, but has always let me charge to only 85%
Most cars used to be ridiculously easy to steal, and people dealt with this situation in a variety of ways. Suing the car manufacturers was not one of these methods.
I don't think your phone analogy is at all comparable. A phone catching fire during what anyone might consider normal use isn't the same kind of product design issue as a car that is no easier to steal than most cars were for most of the history of cars. The old covertible that I had years ago would have been way easier to steal than these cars, for example, both because of simple wiring and simple access to the car interior.
We can pass the blame for this issue around pretty widely. I don't think we should just pin all the blame on the car makers
I dunno about suing them. Lots of things are easy to steal. If there were a Tik Tok trend of stealing garbage cans, I might make an effort to secure the ones I have, but I wouldn't sue the garbage can manufacturer for not addressing the possibility of theft if mine were stolen. These cars do have some theft protection, at least to the extent that you can't accidentally steal them. Car owners should probably do what they can to deter theft, Tik Tok & YouTube should dissuade users from encouraging kids to steal, parents should be more responsible, and (not that it would necessarily help) all cops should stop being bastards
It's a chamber they use to make clouds. Couldn't they just call it the Cloud Chamber, without resorting to the most awkward, contrived acronym I've ever seen?
