    It’s a way to get from point a to b.

    You’re the perfect customer to buy a Corolla! 😄

    Sadly all those assist features come standard now even on the lowest trim, but I think you can easily disable them from options, bar the reverse camera. Plus, at least on my 2020 software one, they’re not always-on, I think the lane-assist and cruise-control have to be turned on by a button, I use them only on longer trips.

    Only the auto-breaking part I’m not sure if it can be disabled, but it doesn’t work in lower speeds, so it’s as good as not there in less intensive situations.




  • At first I was gonna write “Why didn’t you explain to him why Baptist church is called like that?”, but then I remembered cases when people say something so profoundly stupid to me, that I judge they’re too far gone to warrant any explanation. If it was someone with a half-working-brain I’d still try in a friendly way to give them some more context and expand their thinking, but there also such people (especially if they are some blowhard personality) that you just put a mental note to stay very far away from them out of caution.


  • What’s funny is, in Europe at least, the orders were not processed by time - a ton of people were complaining that they ordered theirs a couple of minutes early like you, or on time and were among the most delayed.

    In my case I managed to process payment a whole hour later (after finally giving up and spamming the Continue button), so I can’t really be mad I ultimately bought one. And they finally shipped it, so there is hope for this week 🙏







  • Thought so. Sky and tree foilage kinda looks like Samsung’s Vivid template colors, but overall over-enhacement looks like recent Motorolas do. I’m curious what brand it is, as I watched a ton of smartphone camera comparisons lately, and many had very distinct approaches to how their picture would come off, despite sometimes similar hardware.






  • True, I have 3 book lights scrambled at different rooms in my home, and still managed to forget all of them for a recent trip.

    But the only more modern reader I’ve used (Onyx boox, white backlight) did its job at night, but still felt a bit straining for my eyes. Maybe it gets better with a yellow-ish or orange backlight, these feel better for me on the clip-on lights, but I haven’t tried one for backlight.
