So yes, losing a fob or a key is just as bad (probably worse for the fob if you lose it somewhere on a parking lot).
When no one had access to your fob or your key, the fob is safer than the key, because a fake key is easier to obtain and a key-only car easier to start. (Excluding MITM attacks).

The key only allows entry into the vehicle, not starting the engine.

Although intergenerational postwar cohort would've been more correct, I think the term was just fine in this context.

A coffeemaker that takes voice commands via Alexa hardly qualifies as "AI".
Besides it's a dumb idea. You still have to go to the machine to place your cup, and pick it up after brewing. I have no problem pressing a button in between.

That's not what this test demonstrated. It only showed that on a short course that heavily favored an EV, the Tesla lost.

Why do they have to learn it in that order? Early in school we had to learn the 10x10 multiplication table. I was relieved to see that I only had to learn half of it!

The units are missing on the whiteboard.
My physics teacher always deducted points when I forgot to write down units to an answer. And rightfully so. Carelessness about units makes Mars Landers crash.

Sort of agree/disagree. You are implicitly adding units to these numbers. It's 8 [sets] x 3 [repetitions/set]. Since they are different units, it matters.
If I calculate an area, it doesn't matter whether I do length x width or width x length.
