Explaining Field Exit vs Enter was something most users didn't get. However, they did understand Enter as like a submit button (like on web pages) and were fine selecting fields with the mouse.
The key part does not rely on Tesla's servers to operate (except probably for initial setup?). I had no problem unlocking or starting my Tesla during the outage.
Sadly, the App (convenience part) isn't 100% reliable. It occasionally fails to connect to the car and the only way to get it to work is to force close it. However, I have never had the key part fail to work.
Apparently they are a form of intestinal blockage.
For wage garnishment usually it is the LESSOR of 25% of disposable income (income after taxes and involuntary deductions) OR the amount that your income exceeded 30 times federal minimum wage (currently $217.50/week).
Nintendo could still go after other assets (bank accounts, property, etc) and the defendant can also declare bankruptcy.

Here is larger version that clearly shows their gaze: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExdDvo_WUAEmp6g.jpg
As others have pointed out, most companies don't care about misdemeanors. And, technically you were arrested when you turned yourself in - at that moment you were not "free to walk away" even if you weren't physically taken into custody.
The company I work for (multi-state) does national criminal background checks on every employee. It's been my experience that if you have a record it'll probably come up (sealed or not). The reliable background check companies have multiple sources and odds are probably pretty good your history will be in some database. I would assume whatever you did is going to show up, at least partially.
If they ask, be honest. If they don't ask, don't tell. At larger companies the recruiters will know very well what they can and can't ask (asking the wrong questions can result in an expensive lawsuit), so they will be very careful about that.
At my company lying about a criminal background is not automatic grounds to dismiss a candidate (we will still take into consideration the circumstances, nature of the crime, and length of time since release from supervision), but it will not impress the hiring manager if you are caught lying.
So, at least in this case solder was used on a satellite.
Generating a VGA signal is trivial for this powerful chip. Entire retro game consoles have been built with similar ATmega chips alone
Ben Eater is building a VGA card from discrete components, a somewhat more difficult task. The first part covers building the H/V timing sync circuit (no programmable clock source here!). It's worth taking a look if you're into this kind of thing.
The newer touchpad style they're using is almost as bad.
The touch screen was basically tap-tap done.
I know touch screens get some hate here, but CarPlay with a touch screen is about the best I've seen so far.
Print shops can do this kind of work, too (precise amounts, sub-millimeter accuracy, irregular surfaces, almost any kind of coating, etc.).

Absolutely you do. I expect there to be a certain amount of certification and oversight in safety critical systems - perhaps similar to how the FAA regulates repair and maintenance for general aviation.
Someone would always eventually post "echo Hello World!" and the endless arguments would ensue about whether or not that was actually a program.
However, you can sort of mitigate that if you're also a member of Clear. At my local airport Clear lets me use the PreCheck lines even if the ticket isn't PreCheck (which is contrary to my understanding of how it's supposed to work, but I'm not complaining!).
All I can say here is "Wow!!!" That's an amazing price for a computer that is completely user hostile to upgrade or repair.
