An actually enjoyable Jenna Miscavige video!

Federal laws require EVs to feature an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) that emits pedestrian warning sounds at low speeds. I assume that Aptera does as well or it would never have been approved. Do you have any choice as to which sound it makes?

Many EVs let you chose the whirring bubbling sound of the Jetsons flying car. The Nissan Leaf, Cadillac Lyriq, Jaguar I-Pace have it. Tesla previously allowed drivers to play custom sounds such as the jetsons sound, but the NHTSA forced a recall, ruling that this could be set by some jerk to imitate the sound some crosswalks make to tell blind people that they can enter the crosswalk. Now Teslas need some sort of aftermarket sound system to produce the jetsons sound. Does Aptera have this sound?

Before someone start bleating about copyright, read this:

Basically, Aptera can;t use the actual sound from the cartoon, which is still under copyright, without permission, but they can hire someone with a synthesizer to perform the composition, which is allowed.

Unless I am mistaken, the SwissMicros calculators uses a Sharp Microelectronics LS027B7DH01 Memory LCD display.

This looks like an easy repair if you break a screen, unless they glue it in or something. Don't know if there is glass over it or where to get replacement glass if you break that.

"Perhaps more interesting is the R47, at about the same price. Instead of recreating a particular HP calculator, it grew out of the WP34S/WP43 community projects and attempts to be a modern enthusiast’s RPN calculator. It has an eight-level stack, matrices and vectors, complex arithmetic, base-N and bit operations, statistics, units, financial calculations, equation solving, integration, programming, and even built-in electrical engineering functions... This is probably the closest thing today to somebody asking, “What calculator would an obsessive HP engineer build if we started over?”

Got this off of Wikipedia:

Here are some results of math done on a HP 35S compared with what the displayed result should be.

Some early testers reported that the solar cells under the front window could cause glare, and that polarized sunglasses helped. Did they ever solve that problem?

Six months ago I bought a super cheap 4G smartphone and plan with a physical SIM so I could put the SIM in my router that I set to have the same IMEI as the smartphone. This is purely as a backup so that if something goes wrong with my main router SIM I can still have limited internet access. It worked great. I am going to do it again with a new router.

What I want to know is a model of smartphone with a physical SIM (dual SIMS would be even better) that is super popular, or maybe that was super popular a year or two ago. Something that pretty much every carrier sees a lot of. If it's something they made a lot of but is now being replaced with a newer model, there should be a lot of them available on the used market.

So, what physical SIM smartphone is/was the most popular?
