For the US it’s September 2007, for the EU it started November 2012 but seems like a phased rollout until 2014. Don’t really follow EU regs.

Not entirely disagreeing with you. The way you worded it was always going to be the case if all you do is compare window sticker prices from across the decades though. Inflation cuts your money in half roughly every 20 years. A 20K car in 2006 is a ~40k car today even if everything else stayed equal. The average price for cars after inflation is going up though. The US’s trend towards SUVs and trucks is certainly pulling prices up but other things do as well like the government mandated features(small relatively but not nothing).

Some examples(these are when they became mandatory, not available)

• front airbags - 1998
• tire pressure monitoring (tpms) - 2007
• ABS - 2011
• stability control - 2012
• backup cameras - 2018

Properly adjusted headlights and people driving the appropriate following distance behind you should never have glaringly bright lights. Sadly neither is true very often. I’ve seen headlights out of whack straight from the factory. Headlights trend downward but people tailgating the shit out of you puts you in the beam path. Yes, height differences obviously play a role here.

I have a Miata, nearly anything on the road can blind me cause my head is only about ~3.5 feet(~1m) off the ground. The entire car is only about 4 feet(~1.2m) tall.

To anybody that lifted their vehicle truck or otherwise…did the thought of adjusting your headlights even cross your mind? I’m guessing not.

I’m also going to toss this out there…for the love of God do not put led bulbs in halogen light fixtures. I don’t care if they say they ‘mimic’ the halogen beam pattern…they don’t. You’re blinding everyone on the damn road just stop please, I beg you. (This is going to be the controversial piece that people respond to….yes, I know of a few bulbs that do okay at this but they’re expensive. People are buying the $20 ones on Amazon, and they suck at it. So my blanket statement is just don’t…please just don’t).

Have you never seen this when skipping through a video? The spikes are the most watched parts. They absolutely track what individual parts of a video get the most views.

DDR6 is expected to be out later this year or early next year. So DDR5 might stay high as they transition away from it anyway. DDR6 has many features that make it very appealing for AI/HPC use which is where the bulk of the demand is.

Which is why they’re making masks illegal in a bunch of places. So bring on the juggalo face paint!

Well they already ditched/reduced a bunch of training last year.

Why would you need mentally sound solders…

Additionally, resiliency training has been removed entirely from the list of training tasks necessary for readiness. The training instructed troops on stress-coping measures for everything from individual challenges to dealing with family stress during deployments.

Google Fiber is massively expanding in my state. They blew through my neighborhood in about a week getting the lines installed at the street. Then a month or so later were setting up the per house installs. I’ve only had it a few months now.

I got this email on March 26th though. Once their expansion slows and the number of new subscribers starts to taper off I expect the full enshitification process to begin.

I think one of them is just a bare hamburger patty or possibly cube steak. I can’t even begin to tell you what that processed meat slice is. I’m from America and have never seen something like that before.
