A high-speed land and water vehicle drives on the River Thames

AI Thread Summary
The Aquada is an innovative vehicle capable of reaching speeds of 100 mph on land and over 30 mph on water, with a seamless transition between the two surfaces at the push of a button. This design represents a significant advancement over older amphibious vehicles, such as the Amphicar, which were slower and less aesthetically appealing. The Aquada's potential market appeal is highlighted, with discussions about future variations, including a flying version and an SUV model for off-road enthusiasts. The range of the Aquada on water remains a topic of interest.

What's its range on water ?
 
I think I'll wait for the SUV version so I can fancy myself a rugged outdoorsman who goes offroad.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
