Surface Pro 3 looses it cover again

I had this issue just few months ago. After having several instances i actually ordered replacement Surface Pro 3. Culprit is same: you work, you turn it off and later (minute or day) you turn it on and it can't see touch cover . So no typing for you my friend.... And it done it again! In addition to developed battery drain. This is seriously bad product with stupid support and not worth any money at all. No innovation in design can substitute inability to perform primary function: been Personal Computer. The days of early Windows 95 and Windows Me are back in full. Way to go Microsoft!

Nissan Sentra 2015 in mid winter. Not bad, not good...

On a second week of January 2016 I rented Nissan Sentra SV from Enterprise. Given rental location provided car with 3 overinflated tires (38 Psi) and forth one under inflated (27 Psi) while norm is 33 psi for all tires. Such mismatch contributed to rotational movement of the car during braking and inability to stay in the lane on highway speeds. After I figured out what was wrong and deflated/inflated tires it behaved more predictably. Bouncing sound of basket ball also was reduced. So to set up stage: it January, it snowing and it 100 km trips daily. With range of speed between 50 km/h to 110 km/h. It cold to -10C. I was driving it for four days. Overall 1200 km. Fuel efficiency was between 7.6 to 8 l/100 km on average. It way above manufacturer promised 6 l/100 km. No matter how economical I was within reasonable driving style (no jack rabbiting or even dynamic start/stops but no coasting from 1 km before traffic light either so car will stop itself) it never improved.
