This is only 20ish miles away from me. Not sure if the cyclist was in the bike lane when it happened, but I would think the car would compensate for that. You're supposed to move left slightly when passing a cyclist to give them more space just in case. Guess it's just not programmed in. Might be more complicated then that though.

Got this camera for my step-dad's truck for Christmas so I thought I'd give it a review like I did for my other dash cam. Below is my usual pros / cons list along with some video links and a couple final conclusions. Pros -Compact and the body is very thin, doesn't take up much window space -Image quality is ok during the day and very clear for night -When there's not a lot of light, the picture goes black and white and makes things easier to see -Easy to use menu -Auto powers on when power is applied via USB and starts recording -Adjustable recording loop size (Adjust how long you want each video) up to 10 minutes -You can flip the video if you want to use the camera upside down -Adjustable exposure, but from what I can tell, this can't be done on the fly and is only done in the menu -Small battery to keep recording after you turn the car off -Time can be adjusted -Manually record by pressing OK and manually lock by pressing MODE -Manually turn off screen by pressing the power button -Locks video when certain G-forces are felt during an accident. -Has a camera mode in case you need a backup camera for accident pics -Includes Micro SD card reader -Has an extra micro USB to USB-A cable to connect to the computer -Has a car charger with an integrated cable that's long enough to be run through the A-pillar, about 11 ft -Charger also has an extra 2A port at the top to charge your phone. Cons -Only supports up to 32GB mirco SD, which means you get about 2.5 hours of recording max at 1080p -No easy way to get the videos without taking out the micro SD card or camera out of the car -Micro SD card reader requires the card to be in pretty deep with no push to pop out. Card sticks out only 1/8th of an inch and that's what you have to use to take it out. -No memory card included, though they provide a free one by registering on their website -If you put the video in locked mode, there is no way to turn it off without completely stopping the recording -There is a mention of motion activated recording on the box, but I was not able to find this feature or any settings for it in the menu Surprisingly this camera has a lot of pros for how cheap it is and most of the cons are just features you don't really find at this price point. If your interested, here's the Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076TYQFSG There's also a 20% off discount that's still going on using DCT17CAM With that bringing the price to only $35 USD, this camera is a very good budget / beginner dash cam if you need something to get you started. Video Links Day: NIght:

I’ve been using this dash cam for a few days now and took it on a road trip totaling 7 hours of driving. There are a lot of pros that make the dash cam great and a lot of the cons can easily be fixed with software. I’ll update as I notice some of the fixes Pros: -Great design. Slim simple design with aluminum sides. Makes it very inconspicuous and not just a camera sticking out of your window on a suction cup. -Meant to be a set and forget kind of camera. -High quality accessories included. -Long length USB cable that can easily be routed through an overhead panel (Which is what I did) -High quality Anker USB car charger that can push 2.4 amps though both port (4.8 total) - 2 stick on mounts so you can use it in multiple cars. -Samsung Evo 32GB Micro SD card -GPS to record your speed / route with the option to turn it off. -1440p Resolution or 1080p / 60fps. Can be adjusted to lower resolutions / higher framerates -145 degree wide field of view. -The button also blinks green / red when recording even when the screen is off so you know. - Video locking, including an emergency record button that will start recording and lock the video so it can’t be deleted unless unlocked. When a video is being locked there’s a key icon letting you know. There is an option on every video to either lock it or unlock it yourself. Locked videos also don’t get overwritten when the micro SD card is full. -Confirmation beeps and vocal notifications for what’s happening (Can be turned off) - Built in battery allows it to have a parking mode that can record 30 second clips when motion is detected. The sensitivity of motion can also be changed. It can also be used normally without the USB cable for shorter trips. - Built in mic with the option to easily mute and unmute on the main screen - Auto locking video based on g-forces with the option to change sensitivity - Built in Wifi allows it to connect to the app and transfer video to your phone quickly -App is easy to use, but not necessary to use the dash cam. All features can be accessed using either or. You can use the app to transfer videos off the dash cam to your phone. The app can also be used to update the firmware on the dash cam. App also shows speeds, g-force, compass and route taken during video playback when GPS is enabled. You can also zoom in on the video during playback. Now that’s a lot of pros, but there are also some cons. I believe a lot of them can be fixed with software though and a lot have to do with the app Cons: -One of the biggest cons I’ve noticed is because of the aluminum sides / button, if you try to take it down after driving in the sun you’ll need gloves or something to protect your hand because it heats up a lot. That also goes for trying to press the power button. -There’s no light or indicator when it is charging and off. -App (I used with Android. Unsure on differences on iOS. There is a feedback option in the app that I used to send this info to them) -Can’t select videos by holding them down, only selecting the checkmark at the top and selecting each video. -You can delete locked videos without any warning. This is only on the app and works normally on the camera itself. - If the camera is all the way in the down position, if you try to press it further it will sometimes change the resolution / record time settings and open the menu. Again most of these cons are with the app, which can easily be updated. As for the heat issue, I live in AZ and it's the middle of summer so I probably should have expected it. These aren’t make or break issues. Overall the pros heavily outweigh the cons. I think it's worth the $120 for all the features and nice design, but it looks like it's no longer available. Still figured I'd post my opinion since the 1080p version is still available and is pretty similar. If you’d like to see the video quality during both day and night, I took a couple of the recordings and uploaded them to YouTube. There’s an example for both day and night time. There's also a picture of it installed in my Ford Focus. The cable is tucked into the headliner and routed down the door to the USB port in the arm rest and was easily hidden behind the door weatherstripping.

Now I need to decide if I should get one and move everything over from my Phanteks P400 TG.

Will the winning design become an actual purchasable option? I would seriously buy option A and B... And maybe option C.

Bought one of these Seagate 2TB hybrid drives for my PS4 pro. Down to $63 Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSHD 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5-Inch Notebooks / Laptops Internal Hard Drive (ST2000LX001) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1NHCZT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4JpzzbAGBT4HN

I always hear about issues with the Switch's quality, but my friend and I both have had zero issues on ours.

Found out about this during WAN show. Since the password I use on here is the same for 80% of my login I spent the last hour using LastPass to change all my passwords.

I love PewDiePie's comedy style and I was really looking forward to scare PewDiePie season 2.

If the performance rumors are true and it comes out around the $400 price range, I might go back to AMD and sell my 980 Ti.

Honestly no matter what they do to beef up the consoles I will always play on PC. I only have the PS4 and am getting the PS4 Pro for the exclusives and for certain multiplayer games that my friends have.

I would want either one because I don't have a laptop and I'd like to bring it to my cousins house to play more games with him.

I have Cox in az. i pay for 50mbps and get 65 over wifi and 75 wired.

this motherboard looks like is straight out of 2005

I don't use cortana anyways. I still just open chrome and Google whatever I need to search. I'm sure many people are the same way.
