  • They have an issue with something called the ICCU, which causes the 12V accessory battery to die, sometimes while driving. There is a recall on affected cars.

    That said, I am leasing a 2024 and it really is a great car. I had the recall performed, but I also never experienced the failure. I have noticed an uptick since then in the car recharging the 12V (identified by the bright amber lamp illuminated on the dash while the car is off), so maybe it’s working. Though, my issue with the car is no rear wiper. It should have had a wiper. The 2025s do, but Hyundai incorrectly thought the first years needed them.






  • Clear is now a TSA “vendor” for the precheck process. The machines they use for the sign up process - at least the airport I was at - don’t have the eye scanning camera in the kiosk.

    The Clear representative I was asking questions of had said they don’t require eye scans for Clear, though that is the default. People can ask to use just fingerprints, which he said does disrupt the terminal process as the agents don’t think to ask if fingerprints were what was registered when the eye scans fail.

    I am not advocating for Clear. I refuse to use them. I simply do want to call out that they are one of 3 who handle the process for the TSA now. People do have a choice of which of the three to use.





  • I use Tidal. I have no issues with the app or anything it recommends to me. In fact, it does a really great job at mentioning new music from bands that I haven’t heard from in a while. Econoline Crush and Filter are 2 that had a recent release that even Apple Music didn’t tell me about, even though I have both bands music in my library with Apple.

    I’ve tried to like Spotify, but I just couldn’t get into it. There was just a feeling that it’s not a music first app, but a user data collection app that happens to provide music. I don’t get that feeling with Tidal.

    If I had to complain about Tidal for something, it would be the Live feature. I have the toggle off for showing live sessions, but I’d love to just turn it completely off and remove all traces of that feature. No one cares what I’m listening to, and I have no intention of being “social” in my music app.
