It wasn’t perfect, but it was mostly panned because it was marketed like a sim, when it was really more like Driveclub mixed with Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo. If you enjoy those dreaded “simcades,” it was actually solid. Read more

Yeah, and that’s where it gets fuzzy because Global Entry cards also don’t have the star icon but they count as Real ID-compliant too. The star only seems to matter for standard drivers licenses. Good luck trying to get by with any of these alternate forms of ID that should supposedly work — I’d be too worried I’d end… Read more

That’s a good point and I totally forgot he invested in it! May not last for much longer, though: https://www.lightreading.com/5g/mint-mobile-backed-by-ryan-reynolds-is-up-for-sale/d/d-id/778513 Read more

Yes. This is why Ferraris can’t be customized in some games. An early example is how Ferraris and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR could not be driven in Hot Pursuit mode in NFS 3. It even spreads to less high-end manufacturers — you couldn’t put custom liveries on Nissans in Driveclub, for example. Some brands even enjoy… Read more

“Top off” typically means attempting to fill after the auto stop happens with the pump, when you squeeze the trigger for a few extra squirts of gas. Read more

I haven’t topped off for years, just fill until the pump auto stops. It took me a while to unlearn that bad habit, because my dad would always do it growing up. I don’t think I ever have with this car, but having lived in NJ, I’ve noticed attendants do it a few times. Read more

Seems like the kind of service they might be able to argue necessitates an ongoing expense. Similar services like Hyundai’s BlueLink require a cellular data connection to reach your phone. Read more

Nope, just making sure the post goes up before the end of the day. Figured that was more important than spending however long messing about in an emulator and trying to find a solution. It’s not really the point of the story, anyway. Read more

The Honda Ultium EVs appear to be intended as a stopgap for the US market until Honda can begin producing EVs built on its own architecture in 2025. The Prologue and its Acura counterpart are a way for them to get their hat in the EV ring here, so to speak — I wouldn’t bet that they’re the future of the company. Read more

It wasn’t the solution he wanted to use, he explains in the story that the Peak Design makes a great mount and case that go together for other iPhones that isn’t or wasn’t out for the 14 yet. They offered him an adhesive instead, which worked about as poorly as he feared it might. Read more

Ridge Racer V or Hot Pursuit 2 are the two games I’d contest that with but you know what, this is a fine take Read more

2015's handling was really awful. So awful it undid everything that game had going for it on the presentation and graphical side, which is saying something. I was surprised to enjoy Heat as much as I did. I hope this one turns out alright, too. The reboots every three years are getting old. Read more
