TV show called X-duckX from 2000, french production. The show was pure insanity and the german dub legendary. Rewatched it on youtube a while back and wondered what the hell I was allowed to watch as a kid and still enjoyed every single fucking second of it as an adult.

The x-duckx golf episode is peak sarcasm.

    Security concerns aside, IMHO this is more of an intelligence hurdle so people who can jump that are smart enough to not bodge this simple but very critical repair. To put simply: If you aren't a professional auto repair shop with ODB-Tools, just know that these parking brake servos are self-adjusting.

    Hyundai is also not the first one with these restrictions, lots of manufacturers have quietly implemented such hurdles everywhere in cars, especially Stellantis.

    Also with "super cars" like the Ioniq 5 N (specifically the N variant) meant for rich guys, you usually don't care about repair. You just pay the dealer for that. For comparison look for repairability in high-priced cars like some Ferraris, Porsches, Mercedes, BMW, Audis, etc. It's a shit show all the way in the high-price terrain. Except Stellantis is doing this in the low-price range as well now. God I had Stellantis. Never again.

    Ah, a new Invention in the Asshole-Technology Department. Satan has a very special place in hell for the Managers who decided on this and he will place an order on this exact technology just for them to enjoy it non-stop. Forever.

    So if an average phone user charges his phone daily for 3 years, he'll reach 1000 cycles or so. Doing 100-25% as the worst possible daily every time, that battery would have 90% of its original capacity. So 5 Years should be something like 1800 cycles, which should be 85% capacity on a 5 year old phone. I'd probably use those 15% up within 2 hours, and my phone can do about 1,5 days on average on a 100% charge. 5 years is IMHO good enough for a daily phone.

    I think I can live with charge whenever however long. But I keep an eye on keeping it cool during charging, which I think is more important for battery life.
