Hat tip to Keith Fullerton Whitman over on the Bloot Sky site for hipping me to this Michael R. Bernstein album, a three-track audio tour inside the factory where they make La Monte Young.

97 BPM Dream Chord Prime Number Search, by Michael R. Bernstein

3 track album

Michael R. Bernstein
"Beep, beep" is #onomatopoeia representing a noise, generally of a pair of identical tones (#beeps) following one after the other, often generated by a #machine or device such as a #carHorn. It is commonly associated with the #RoadRunner (commonly interpreted as "meep meep") in #LooneyTunes cartoons featuring the speedy-yet-#flightlessBird and his constant pursuer, #WileECoyote. #BeepBeep is the name of a 1952 #WarnerBros cartoon in the #MerrieMelodies series.

So, two years ago I bought a new vehicle to replace a 15-year-old one that had been written off after a collision. It's my first brand-new #vehicle I've ever owned. And being from the 2020s, it has a lot more #tech in it than any previous vehicle I've owned.

A week or so ago, the rear hatch (which is powered) stopped closing. It gets to about a foot open, then stops and #beeps and backs up a bit, behaving as if it's obstructed. I don't see any sensors it would use for detecting objects (but maybe they exist, just hidden), so I assume it's sensing motor current or something.

I booked an #appointment at the #dealer to have it checked and fixed. It was a 3-week wait. The #service manager said in the meantime to try a " #reset " of the car - just drop by and let them disconnect the battery for half an hour. I told them I could do that myself, and did.

So they really did just tell me "Did you try turning it off and turning it on again?"

It didn't fix the #problem. But it did give me a new one! Now two of the four side windows no longer support the automatic-all-the-way-up-or-down feature you normally get by pressing the window control buttons to the second stop. And it's not even both on one side, or both front or both rear...

"For a list of ways in which technology has failed to improve our lives, please press '1'."
