Yeah, it would be really nice to go outside without worrying about the pollution from industry/cars/etc. or the toxic dust from the GSL damaging my health.

What’s the best way to communicate with you about Secure Boot issues I come across: Email? Or is there some IM system you prefer?

Ooh I’ve not heard much about coupling since university when we learned ‘high cohesion, low coupling’ - then I went to work writing .NET apps where the main UI class had lots of public methods that got called to update controls from all over the place. 😖

Did you get too much attention on Twitter after that? You seemed to disappear for a while.

It’s probably complicated by the fact that the cars do score very highly in crash safety tests. Also, unfortunately cars from other manufacturers are being built with these electronic door mechanisms too. Hopefully the manual latches are more logical though.

Unfortunately it might be the result of a regulation requiring laminated glass in all windows to reduce ejections in rollover crashes. The 2020 model she drove had a manual door release on the inside (but a button on the outside).

No, glass-breaking vehicle escape tools do not work on laminated windows
One-third of new cars now have laminated side windows, making escaping in an emergency nearly impossible.

Back windows on new cars are often laminated glass due to a new regulation (in the US) to reduce ejections in rollover crashes. I checked mine and all windows are laminated so I’m giving away my window break tool since it’s useless!

And if you’re crap at soldering like I am you can even have them assembled for an extra cost, too!
