Good point, which is why neither happens all the fucking time. This is like if BMW built a kegerator into the dash and sold a line of beers with names like Time to Hit the Road, and Driving Time Flies that came in special BMW mini kegs that only worked in the dash kegerator and there was a compartment in the center…

Just to be clear, zoonot is not a word, you are being very charitable calling it a less common word for zoonotic, it is in the sense that “flying sting stinger” is another word for wasp because I have now used it to refer to a wasp.

First of all, Trump is not going to build any sort of platform, he will license his name, the man can’t even use a computer, he can not intelligently access a technology platform. Second of all, Trump is a greedy idiot who has surrounded himself with other greedy idiots and only a group of other greedy idiots would…

Chrome is my primary browser and I almost feel locked into it by choice given my extensions and password management, but it is such a nightmare slow resource hog that continues to get worse.

I wish they would just fix the resource issues instead of me feeling everyday like I just need to switch permanently to Safari…

Wasn’t Tesla promising us full-self driving in a matter of months, the start of robo-taxis and the end of the consumer market for their cars because they were just going to be too valuable as taxis to justify selling them to consumers?

I think a big problem is a $25,000 in long term planning means they don’t think the…

If Facebook wants to be in this business they need to take a minority stake in a separate company and develop one hell of a Facebook app for it. The affluent tech savvy market that might be interested in AR glasses does not trust Facebook for very good reason.

Take the Portal, which by all accounts is a very good…

I actually wouldn’t be too worried about the drop-in feature, I think that would be too obvious a violation of privacy for them to do so. What I would be worried about is them using it to basically harass tenants that are late on rent. It’s probably not practical constantly call and leave letters for a resident that…

I’m trying to understand this, I’ve purchased a few showerheads since this rule when into place and every single one was designed so the flow limited could be easily defeated in what was an obvious workaround by the showerhead manufactures for anyone that wanted to remove it.

Seems like all the use cases for this would be better solved by adding a second or third monitor, if you don’t already have more than one monitor, which you should.

My employer told me two weeks ago that they are done reevaluating anyone working from home coming into the office until 2021 at the earliest and I do not work from some tech juggernaut, we in fact did not have anyone working from home before the pandemic.

I think things are going to start to accelerate more broadly to…

I can’t believe this didn’t work out.

I mean fuck Cox but also:

Interesting thoughts from these two people broadcasting from home.

I absolutely adore my i3, it is such a damn weird car, a joy to drive and so wonderfully practical, I once managed to get an 8 x 10 rug home in mine with the rug laying on that wonderful storage bin.

I get that the thing looks like a broken toaster but as long as you use it for its intended purpose, an urban run-about…

We finally kicked AT&T U-Verse to the curb about a year ago when I finally bothered to sit down and read the bill and was astounded by how much and what we were being charged for including an “HD Technology Fee”, when I called to discuss they said “Well, you want the best picture, don’t you?”.

Mind you, I couldn’t even…

OK but he has to work from a desk in the middle of the locker room.

I’m surprise you left out a huge factor in many of the poor design decisions being less than ideal for NASA’s needs, the DOD meddled and dictated a lot of the program from the beginning and ran at least several classified missions using it that we know about.

It’s really hard to say if the shuttle successfully meet its…

So this is actually something I have been putting a lot of thought about into lately...

My job is 100% around a specific and serious medical condition, as such I search and do research about it daily. And I’ve noticed ads around this condition everywhere, consumer directed ads, not professional directed ads. Everywhere.

We have Walmart Delivery unlimited and Prime and Walmart is still a good deal. Overall their prices and selection are significantly better than Prime Grocery, like enough that it more than makes up the cost difference.

I keep seeing these digital billboards on cars and I’m getting the sense that they are going to go away sooner than later unless the technology improves dramatically. For all the displays I see there is remarkably few advertisers on them and the advertisers that are using them are often impossible to make out. On top…
