The LED 'U' shaped accent light in the passenger side headlamp assembly of my 2017 Golf went out a few years ago, causing an error that disabled the headlight turning feature. It is not repairable so I had to get a new assembly. Fortunately, it happened right before my warranty finished and was covered.
Serenely imagining a Chinese Miss Trunchbull.
I don't know if they were the first, but they're one of the most notorious offenders.
I have observed that myself with the infotainment system of my 2017 Golf Alltrack, but when did they start software derating their engines? My understanding is that there's nothing much to be gained from an aftermarket ECU tune unless I switch to premium gas and the more powerful Golf models have other real differences like bigger turbochargers.
How messed up are things in the UK if that's something that makes you feel proud?
The businesses are launching a joint venture to develop platforms for “software-defined vehicles.”
Big oof.

Yes, BDS Movement acknowledges that there are many extensive boycott lists out there:
Many feel compelled to boycott any and all products and services of companies tied in any way to Israel. The proliferation of extensive “boycott lists” on social media is a result of this. The question is how to make boycotts effective and actually have an impact in holding corporations accountable for their complicity in the suffering of Palestinians?
The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.
We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. We need to target companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling large, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”
Many of the prohibitively long lists going viral on social media do the exact opposite of this strategic and impactful approach. They include hundreds of companies, many without credible evidence of their connection to Israel’s regime of oppression against Palestinians. Many do not have clear demands to the companies as to what we expect them to do to end the boycott, making them ineffective.
If you feel like personally boycotting every company that has anything to do with Israel then go for it, but that's not a real plan.
https://craft.co/waze/locations - it’s headquartered in Tel Aviv. Boycott it.
Maybe some horrible massacre happened there once, but that's like the heart of 1948 Israel, not some illegal settlement in the West Bank.
“The modern economy is very global and interconnected” is a cliché - too vague and obvious to guide action.
Maybe, but it is an esteemed, Palestinian lead organization employing that cliché and providing good justification for it. I will be giving the guidance from BDS more weight than yours, @frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml.
Waze and many of the companies you listed are not BDS targets, for good reason:
The global nature of today’s economy means that there are thousands of companies that have links to Israel and are complicit to various degrees in Israel’s violations of international law. However, for our movement to have real impact we need our consumer boycotts to be easy to explain, have wide appeal and the potential for success. That’s why globally, while we call for divestment from all companies implicated in Israel's human rights violations, we focus our boycott campaigns on a select few strategic targets. We also encourage the principle of context sensitivity, whereby activists in any given context decide what best to target and how, in line with BDS guidelines.

Either they just go for it or one of the parents provides a loving shove. In either case, the terminal velocity of a fledgling osprey probably isn't too fast and the swamp below isn't too hard.

Wouldn't it make as much sense for him to have a Spanish accent?
If you're not opposed to digital, then maybe you could set up an RSS feed reader to just update weekly. Or maybe you could just subscribe to weekly newsletters. Wouldn't want you to get a paper cut.
It sounds like you’re saying the lack of public transportation is at least partially to blame for modern cars not having the same style or as much style as older cars.
No. I'm saying that the dearth of cool cars is the insult to the injury of having inadequate public transit. "They" are just the policy makers who have been acting on behalf of the bourgeois rather than the working class.
Anyone know the model and year of this specimen?
