  • For watching videos, surfing the web, and doing most phone things it doesn’t get warm at all, and that’s with the fan (and 90% just there because it looks badass liquid cooling) turned off. The phone has a processor that can put out some heat, but regular phone stuff just uses such a small amount of it’s maximum that it doesn’t get the least bit warm.

    It will get warm when speed charging (the fan and liquid cooler will automatically kick in when doing the speed charging) but not anything I’d feel like calling hot.

    It will also get warm when playing more in demand games. Like I’ve been playing red Dead redemption on it with the highest settings. I have the options selected to turn on the fan and liquid cooling when in game mode, but it doesn’t go beyond warm or make my hands sweat.

    I haven’t tried any games more taxing than rdr. I’ll have to install genshin impact or something to see.










  • I’m not speaking from an occupants perspective. I’m only chiming to provide some added context to the articles claims of the cutters primarily only being useful for rescue personnel.

    I will say that the chances where a person crashes, and no one else is around, and the vehicle is on fire or there’s a reason the occupant should leave the seat after a severe crash, and the cutter would stay reachable, is very, very rare. Vehicles almost never catch on fire from crashes. Beyond that, unless you’re in BFE without a phone or anyone else around, it’s usually best you stay in place.


  • Firefighter EMT here. Over 15 years. Glass breaking happens pretty often and we have plenty of ways with doing that. Almost none of us carry a dedicated seatbelt cutter at the ready. If I can’t get to the buckle very easily, I still just use a knife. Also works great for cutting the side airbags out of the way, which a seatbelt cutter can’t do. For the seatbelts I’m just very careful with the knife, and for the airbags I cut reaching in and with the knife facing outwards and away from the patient. Trying to carry and use a seatbelt cutter just simply isn’t worth the limited space I have to carry things that are quickly accessible. Too much of a one trick pony.



  • Not what I’m saying. Just saying that there’s 131 million players and blaming Roblox for like 40 incidents is dumb. That’s like 0.0000012%. 700 kids a year die from being hit by cars. 900 kids a year die from drowning. 500 kids every year are murdered by their own parents.

    Saying Roblox is to blame when it’s such a comparatively small amount of everything else in the world is stupid. You can’t sterilize the planet from danger. Roblox isn’t even a blip when compared to most other things.




  • He left out an important data point with all of his math. One he doesn’t have any data on. He failed to account for down force created by the vehicle. He completely ignored it. Downforce completely changes breakaway speeds on the tires.

    As to why it gets slower times than a thousand hp car on the track, it’s simple. The car weighs MUCH more. Like 2,000 pounds more. That makes braking and turning and acceleration slower (but there’s plenty of power to overcome the acceleration) and like what he did touch on, the battery isn’t large enough to go “all out” on this track without running out of juice.

    If the byd car could use magic to make it weigh as little as the zr1 and not be battery capacity limited, it would wipe the floor with the zr1.

    So yes, 3,000hp and all wheel drive is a benefit. It just can’t overcome the weight difference through all the turns and deceleration on the track.
