They feel very out of touch. Android Auto and CarPlay have mostly worked well for years. Consumers (rightly IMO) don’t trust GM to build good software for the life of the vehicle. Forcing users to pay up for maps when the current expectation is free phone integration is a strict downgrade

Agree. Some strange responses on this one from people who also likely agree that we need sentencing reform.

A commutation probably would have been more appropriate, but Trump seems to be on a pardoning spree.

New from 404 Media: the gun found on Luigi Mangione, the person of interest in the UnitedHealthcare shooting, was a 3D printed Glock frame, according to members of the 3D printing firearms community. Specifically it's the Chairmanwon V1 they said www.404media.co/unitedhealth...
The weapon found on the arrested person of interest in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is a specific 3D printed Glock frame called the Chairmanwon V1, two people in the 3D printed weapons community told 404 Media after viewing an image of the weapon provided to media outlets by police. The news is significant in that it could be the first assassination in the United States using a 3D printed weapon, and could usher in fresh calls to further regulate the printing of firearms by ordinary citizens. The finding comes after police arrested a person of interest, Luigi Mangione, on Monday in Pennsylvania. Mangione has now been charged with a handful of crimes, including carrying a gun without a license, but he has not been charged with the murder itself. “I can confirm that it is a 3D printed Glock. It’s a V1 chairmanwon design,” Print Shoot Repeat, a pseudonymous and high profile member of the 3D printing firearms community told 404 Media in an online chat. “It appears to be the first high profile case involving a 3D printed gun and it’s my guess that this will have a huge impact on DIY firearms regulations going forward.”

In case you missed it, Bitfinex hacker Ilya Lichtenstein got 5 years in prison. Not too bad for stealing bitcoins currently worth [counts zeros... still counting...] $10.8 billion.

His wife/co-conspirator/YouTube rapper Heather Morgan is set to be sentenced today. www.wired.com/story/bitfin...
