Gottttteeeeeeem

Easy choice now of which bars to avoid. Hopefully they lose business over it but I doubt it.

Hi honey, here’s Despacito…

Man - that comma in the second sentence murdered my brain. Excellent synopsis though.

We have a new manager and she is forcing us to use the calendar and planner in Teams and my productivity has plummeted because of it.

New Classic Teams for Work, Professional Edition (New)

That would mean you would be indefinitely supporting and sending traffic to X. Why not tell your million followers “I will only be posting on Bluesky now - please check out my profile there [link]” and dump X? If you’re worried about your numbers dropping moving to the other platform, then your “followers” probably don’t mean much or weren’t that interested in what you have to say anyway (so what’s the point other than a score)? Maybe I’m just doing the old man shaking his fist at the sky routine.

Oh - haha. My bad I misunderstood.

? Works fine for me and their site seems to be normal as well:

Why not just use Strongbox? All of that’s built in and don’t have to store your vault on their cloud.

You’re only stuck with the old battery until the next time you swap it out though? Could also remove the need to have charging stations all over the place - just use the gas station model which has been working well for a long time - no need to charge at home or in some random mall parking lot. Just pull into a swap station, get a newly charged battery (for which there should be some safety and quality standards put in place), and leave 5 minutes later.

Exactly.

Wow - didn’t hear that but sounds like something he would do.

I disagree. I know cross country road trips isn’t the norm for most, but at the moment, it burns an hour (at least on my car) to recharge if you need to during the middle of a trip that out-distances your car’s range. A quick battery swap would solve that and give you the same ease/downtime as filling up at a gas station. I’d think some people have a hard time swallowing having to wait an hour to fill up if they’re trying to get somewhere.

What really baffles me is why he totally ghosted his battery swap station idea. That completely solves the range and charging time issue all in one fell swoop. Demonstrated it on stage even. Guessing it either wasn’t profitable enough for him, not s3xy enough, or he wasn’t smart enough to figure out how to scale it up.

Just as long as you factor in DtF.

What’s the offshoot going to be called, “Soup”? Not like Alphabet is operating any more as “separate organizations” than Google was previously. Nothing changes there.

Moss seal of approval.

Exactly. Example: on the Tesla Model 3, many of the panels (such as the rear quarter panel) are glued on instead of bolted/clipped on. So if you graze a stationary object and damage that (it happens), you’re on the hook for a very expensive repair since you need a repair shop that specializes in how to deal with that (plus the actual time to do the repair, which is more complicated). Update the designs to make them more repair friendly and the cost of ownership comes way down.

I genuinely dislike TikTok (might be just old-man-shaking-his-fists-at-the-sky syndrome), but a complete ban on an app like that seems uninformed and quite the overreach. I think banning it on government devices is a good move, and I also think having everyone make informed decisions on who they give their personal information to is paramount (in this case, tin foil hat or no, you’re likely giving it to the CCP), but this seems like a clear case of a bunch of old timers making a pretty uninformed decision based on knee-jerk reactions to public opinion.
