"Dynamic libraries" in this context just means code/resources held in an independent file that is loaded alongside the main application, at the time the application is started, code that is part of the application or environment will link/connect the main code with the code/resources held in the...

Now that is where things all start to get very complex, as some languages will directly embed a library within the code (static library), while others will connect to an independent library at runtime (dynamic library). Just about all languages also have a way to access libraries (if coded) as...

I've requested access to the code, but have not yet heard anything back. It is clear that it is going to get more complicated for MG as the public info will be raising additional questions. - Questions will be raised about the age of some of the software, but 'security' issues are limited by...

That rule is very country-dependent, in the UK, the Highway Code states Rule 226 You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). So the use of headlights is not directly linked to the use of the wiper blades.

Once in a while, my speed limit indicator also goes haywire. So far I've seen two different issues that maybe A software bug where the software handling the indication just gives up until the car's power is removed from whichever control unit handles this feature. So basically a Ctrl-Alt-Del...

They operate a bit slower than you would hope the driver of an oncoming car would manually dip their lights, but they also operate far quicker than many drivers manually dip their lights (if they bother). The one thing that is not clear is whether there are any regulations that state how...

I've now had my MG4 for 6 months, with no issues. The one thing you did not list was which model you were considering. There is a big difference in battery size between the entry level and top level versions as well as a few nice to have features. One key thing is don't compare the list prices...

What is the range drop like when you install the top box?

Well, the UK government has decided that EV owners should start paying towards the upkeep of the road network by imposing a cost per mile tax. This does make sense as ICE drivers have always paid such taxes as they are just added to the fuel they purchase, but their solution is that the charge...

The UK now has a new socket standard - "BS 1363-2 EV" for sockets that are approved for continuous 10A inductive loads as found with an EV charger. Due to the current draw, you can not use extension leads to extend a granny cable/charger. For my needs, I ended up purchasing the 20m granny...
