Ew. Sounds gross, so it probably isn't far off.

That sounds like a feature to me. Gotta pay extra for that offline start capability. And if you don't designate this far as your offline remote start car before hand you're fucked.

I don't disagree, regional high speed is where it's gotta start.

The problem today is that it's an order of magnitude longer. Chicago to LA by airplane is 4 hours. Chicago to LA via Amtrak is about 56 hours. I don't know that high speed rail is going to fix that problem, sure it might get it down some, but even a 24 hour train is six times longer than flying.

I say this as someone that takes Amtrak at every opportunity because I enjoy trains and want to see them become viable for more people.

That's basically the way interurban trains operated for years before the highway system and personal vehicles replaced that mode of transport. It wasn't solar powered back then, but the idea makes a lot of sense.

Pidgin and Trillian were both fantastic stable solutions back then, and it's be real fucking nice to have that today, but everyone's got their hand out to steal your data and offer you free services for the trouble and they don't want to share.

I see what you did there.

Is that Cas' car from the mid seasons or something else entirely ?

It's the implication that the sync dev is doing something nefarious by charging to remove ads from the free app they developed.
