I have the same car, it does this too. As have most if not all of my other cars I've owned. I've always put it down to the fact there is no cooling from the forward motion of the car passing air towards the radiators so the engine slowly heats from the already generated heat from driving. The temperature hits the limit the sensor has set and the fan turns on until it's below that set temperature.

Armando Iannuccis back catalogue is so vast. He's done so so much stuff over the last 30 odd years and so much of it is top tier. Yet few people would recognise the name. He's talented on so many levels. If anyone hasn't I'd highly recommend the 'Armando Iannucci Shows'.

Samsung S22 Ultra (at least) has a 'Protect Battery' setting which limits charge to 85% .

RBS was nationalised in the UK in 2008. It's still doing fine.

I had SE k800i in 2006. It had a Xenon flash and the photos it took we not surpassed by smartphones for a surprisingly long time, especially at night.

Worked with someone who had a 7650. Watching what that could do blew me away at the time. First phone I saw that genuinely acted like a PC in your pocket. Bought a 6600 as soon as it was released and loved it.

You could probably make an interesting article on how much a modern smartphone in 2021 differs from the 7650. Fundamentally I don't think it's as much as many would think.

Eve solved it perfectly. The Eve universe is dangerous. By undocking you consent to PvP, don't fly what you can't afford to lose.

The game treats you like an adult that can accept risk and thus the rewards from playing the game are higher for me.

I wish more games took a similar mature approach.

One of my friends had a later NETMD and I remember that only taking seconds to convert and copy MP3s to disk. The software was horrible though.

Thinking about it maybe I do remember some marketing about it being a cassette replacement. A quick Google brought up this, which is assume is a Sony advert.

The model I had allowed for only 1 digital copy, after that generation it had to be analogue before another digital copy could be made.

I had one of the later models that had LP features, so up to 4x the music on a disc at a lower quality. It was also a recorder, which was so handy, and something no iPod ever offered. Many of my friends had players, 1 even had an in car player. That's in the UK. I think the big issue was that many people assumed Minidisc was supposed to be a replacement for CDs, rather, than a replacement for cassette. It's understandable why it wasn't marketed this way, but if it had, I think it would of taken off much quicker in the mid/late 90's.

Nice. This would likely solve a huge chunk of push back against JIRA.
