This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It's a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can't imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.

I'm amazed at how many professionals use Macs because Apple seems to hate power users. I had to use a Mac briefly recently and was amazed to find they still don't have window snapping.

It also had no idea what to do with my monitor, couldn't even detect the correct resolution. I'm guessing if I had bought a $3000 Apple monitor it would have worked immediately. But had to dive into "advanced settings" just to set the correct resolution.

If everybody could stop using Twitter, that'd be great.

So the full Republican party supports this guy, who:

  • thinks gay marriage should be banned
  • tried to overturn the 2020 election
  • wants to ban abortion

Ah yes, a doorbell camera with an effective distance of 5 meters (about 16 freedom feet) is definitely gonna create proof of extraterrestrials visiting.

With all the issues Tesla has (poor build quality, lying about range, blatant racism in factories, Union busting, Elon) I don't know why anybody would buy one. There are several better options at this price range.

Anybody else having this issue (attached screenshot). Landscape mode is fine. I'm guessing this is an upstream issue. Text alignment is all over the place.

Eta: this is in Firefox on Android

If you can find one that isn't a weird sex cult, let me know.

Stores can show out the door pricing of most products, they just won't. It's fairly common in the cannabis space because they don't want to make change.

Hills exist, sometimes you need to go 20 miles, we have record setting temperatures every day, public transit sucks most places, and a lot of areas don't have bike lanes so you keep up with traffic or get ran over. E-bikes are good for everybody.

When COVID hit and the company I was with at the time went 100% remote, upper management discovered our productivity went up. That same company started forcing people back into the office as soon as they could. Watching a team of executives intentionally harm their company and try to justify it was wild. It wasn't about being profitable, it was about control for controls sake.

Finally getting some (closer to) mainstream video cards from AMD. Still feels overpriced but a lot better than $750 for a 7900xt.

Sony changed their CPU architecture every time until PS4/5. The only reason some PS3s could play PS2 games is because they had also had PS2 hardware in them. Xbox has been x86 the whole time.

You were a sysadmin then became an attorney? How do you have any faith in humanity left?

It was me. I'm just excited that I published something and wanted to tell somebody about it. Especially something that might actually be useful to people (instead of just used by other businesses). It's not often I'm let out of the data warehouse cage these days.

Here it is in case anybody else needs an app to remind them about all the stuff they have laying around that needs to be constantly maintained.

I also made the satire app Antifa Recruiter a while back and updated it today. Just in case you need something to pull out at family gatherings.

Anybody else create anything fun or useful this week? Or does anybody have any constructive feedback on Maintain that could make it more useful?

AMD is releasing (what appears to be, still need all the reviews to come in) a beast of a mobile processor. 16 cores, 32 threads, and 128MB of L3 cache.
