I have a honda with linked brakes, the precursor to ABS implementation. Rotation in the front left caliper applies one of 3 rear pistons, rotation of the rear caliper applies 1 of 6 front pistons. I have like 5 bleed valves on the 3 calipers and 2 or 3 valves inside the frame.
But it’s very difficult to lock up the rear wheel. I’ve never had it happen in a straight line.
Love how people are going on about regenerative brakes when this is simply deleting the hydraulic lines for wires and actuators in a normal friction brake system.
The headline is ambiguous. The thumbnail less so. The article is not. This deletes the hydraulic lines to use electrical systems to actuate otherwise-normal brakes.
Yasa is not a current OEM. They are a research group partnered with Mercedes, not supplying Mercedes with current market equipment. So no, this is not a solution to regen braking not being able to brake the last 10% to a stop. That’s not what BMW claimed, either. They said “almost never” activate mechanical brakes. Everyone is still using mechanical brakes for the last, final stopping force. That is how generators work. If they’re not spinning they’re not generating. Slowing to a stop means the braking force from regen rides the curve down to near zero. Yada has nothing to do with the thread anyway
You have no idea what you’re talking about. The brembo system in the OP simply replaces the hydraulic system with an electric one. It’s not a regen brake. It’s a brake pedal sensor that commands motors to actuate pistons in normal caliper/rotor/pad arrangement.
Meanwhile, nowhere in the Yasa site does it say it can hold a motor still strictly through “magnets” because that’s not how motor/generators work. You can’t get resistance to motion without motion being input into the system. No rotation, no generated electricity, no electricity to shove into a battery/heat exchanger. Not to mention that site is primarily marketing hand waving. Research papers to back it are great, but they’re not what that site is about. They’re partnered with Mercedes, not actively producing these as current equipment.
Gas price high: use our own oil!
Gas price low: drain everyone else’s first!
Unclassified: the 40mph+ e-bikes and no-pedal scooters ruining it for everyone else.
I’m of the opinion it doesn’t matter because enforcement will be spotty and the reckless assholes will still be reckless assholes while the responsible <25mph riders will be regulated. There are e-bikes with weight and speed exceeding the lowest of registration-required motorcycles (Aniioki A9 vs Honda Cub/monkey/grom, yes I watch Fortnine)
I’m in the overlap where I can easily follow reg edit direction and similar tutorials but can’t actually diagnose it myself. I wouldn’t have a clue. These known regedit edit workaround posts exist and are spread because there’s a ton of people in this overlap. We just aren’t vocal because it’s not one of our hills to die on.
But I can deal with cars, fix older models, and avoid buying an internet-connected model. Shit, I even learned how to fix drum brakes to maintain my options. I also disconnected my smart TV and grabbed a retired pc with win 10 pro or whatever to get some control back over that.
I do what I can, but at the end of the day, I still need to relax at some point.
I might be off on the details, but about a year ago, the founder lost control of the site and it went down. He called all the users terrible people. Someone else picked it up and continued within like a week. Interesting take on the founder/long term operator.
Forgot to mention there’s the epstein connection to /pol/. Insane.
So yeah, it’s not just echo chambers. There’s plenty of accessible terrible places still around.
Yeah. I deleted my account during the API fiasco. I stopped surfing there entirely. I guess there’s also Discord communities that cover gaming bases too, but I struggle with that UI/organizer presentation when it comes to trying to find the right place for the info I need. So take your pick: Facebook, reddit, discord. They’re all apparently on the same slippery slope. Classic forums are dead (and no doubt the photo bucket debacle of 2017 pushed that).
But the cool thing is my life get suddenly busier around the same time I kicked reddit, and now I just don’t have that kind of time to get into hobbies deep enough to really need those places. Cool. [sad trombone sounds]
Other people covered the sneakily harmful stuff that’s publicly accepted. I’m still gonna say 4chan. I assume it’s still up. I like to think I grew out of it or that I had a good filter as a teen, but I’m sure it negatively affected my views at least for some time. But half of the evil shit just seemed funny. You can’t tell who is serious and who is trolling because they’re all in the same thread together, feeding equally. So now I’m occasionally reminded of the actual death, mutilation, and harm I saw there.
I don’t know what other boards are similar and active. I don’t know what other modernized sites have joined that niche. I’m aware regular social platforms push harmful conspiracy and fringe theories and create their own spiraling echo chambers. 4chan is still a terrible place.
No one in my real life left reddit. Reddit and Facebook are the only ones with active communities for many of my games and interests. I avoid it, but yes, it’s quite active and is now the only relevant search result on recent news and strategies.
Not in my experience. I think it’s a bit of an American TV trope from the 1950s, but I don’t know if those were really feral dogs or just free-roam farm dogs and such. I’ve always had neighborhood feral cats around though. Feral dogs are often captured in cities and suburbs and given to shelters. Or euthanized. I guess we’re afraid of getting attacked. Cats, on the other hand, aren’t such a risk to humans and are tolerated, despite being atrocious for local ecosystems.
Meanwhile, I just had an encounter with an escaped husky and I was genuinely afraid. I’m not afraid of dogs, but I had to knock on its owner’s door and it started darting around, getting between me and the door, and staying quiet - not actually showing any signs of aggression in face/tail/voice. Eerie.
Yes, and I appreciate that you have relevant input. I didn’t like Starbucks coffee all that much before, but I figured that’s just the flavor they choose. I guess that’s the charred flavor. I don’t choose it, but if it’s the only feasible option, I hope they have cold brew because while also unique, it tastes fine.
I’m just tired of the boring rhetoric on display here about how it’s “not real coffee” and “everything is a dairy sugar hijink”. No one is being forced to buy a triple whip frappe soy milk unicorn latte. It has 4 shots of espresso. The market continues to buy it. Plus, I swear, there’s a constant underlying masculinity thing berating women for buying what they want.
Side note, for movie theaters and mourning what’s lost. I enjoyed the drop in crowd size at first in the post-covid slump, but damn, I miss the parasocial community feeling. The buzz as everyone walks up, the chatter as everyone leaves. Plus, I know dwindling crowd size means dwindling theater options and amenities.
I’m not saying they don’t exist, just that in all my travels across the US, rural metro and suburban, I’ve never see multiple stray dogs. It’s rare I see a singular stray dog, at that. Not like other countries where I see them right outside the airport. All to say this story sounds crazy to me, coming out of regular California. But maybe I’ve just never been there to see it
You are 1 of 3 people I see in this 50+ comment thread saying you were going to Starbucks prior to this statement. The rest of the thread is the type that says movies are dead because theaters charge too much for candy, as if they’re forced to buy candy to watch a movie.
I like having a paper calendar at my desks. It’s just easy to see what day of the week a day is. I’ll add stuff like concerts or birthdays so I have passive warning rather than making specific reminder sin my phone calendar.
I’ve never seen truly stray dogs (not just lost) in the US. It’s so foreign to me when I see them in every other country I visit
ITT: people saying they still won’t go to Starbucks as if this CEO gives a shit
OK, don’t go. You didn’t go before you’re not going now. Nothing has changed.
With or without the word, it was the same mentality elsewhere, too. Many Irish diasporas align with Italians. They clashed with each other because they arrived at the same time at the same place. They put each other down to try to climb up.
Then as they clowly rose neck and neck, dispersing into better neighborhoods, they freed space for the next bottom rung to move in. So naturally, the bitter rivals became best friends and, together, shit on the next diaspora.
The cycle repeats.
