That's the common hipster take on it...but I kinda liked the way the butterfly keys felt and my impression of the touchbar was chaotic neutral. By the time they let up a little on the ports, I'd lived with 4 USB-C ports so long th

You’re not up on pandemic math, are you? There’s emergent behavior that came out of well known scientific behavior in trying to contain a global phenomenon that we didn’t fully understand when it hit.

Yes, but. It’s the time in-between that people generally want to maximize…and if they’re the kind of person I want to hang out with, they want to help other people maximize their short time as well.

Hindsight being 20/20 and all that. This is clearly something you feel strongly about. I don't like people dying and societally, don't mind doing things that help other people not die. Success was quite the moving target back

I probably will when the budget frees back up, the ROI isn't there for the number of times a year we boondock completely off-grid.

Propane has substantially less energy per unit mass than gasolene. In our RV, we have a gas generator and propane for the heater/fridge...Propane is MUCH better than batteries to run the Fridge as well. 4 LiFEPO4 batteries run our frid

Have an upvote, just the same. (From someone else who's thoughts aren't as original as he'd once thought.)

That raises a whole host of other issues. They're $200, because they don't have to pay their employees or provide a safe environment, the Government is subsidizing the manufacture or other unsavoury reasons. You can make things re

Going private means they don't have to disclose their financials...this is not the positive you think it is.

Heck, there's a difference between western (interstate super-slab) US and Eastern, Virginia like (Birth of a Nation two lane highway) roads. I can leave Denver and be DEEP into Wyoming in 2 hours, or it can take 90 minutes to go 60 mil

Three years ago I performed the phase one update on our trailer (38foot 5th wheeler) I put in a Victron converter/inverter, shunt, Cerbo (HMI) and 4 100ah LiFePO4 batteries. The trailer has a 5500 generator and 3 ACs. I wanted 2.5 days

Radium, Lead, Asbestos, Nicotene, R-12 refrigerant, Social Media Seems like a lot of things that are an initial good, but turn out to be not so hot after a decade or so.

My 2014 Acadia had Wifi, a 4GLTE modem, a phone app, and two streaming audio apps on the radio. It was never updated. Possibly because I wasn't going to give them $70 a month for On-star, internet, and GM super naggy status stuff. (Hey

Oh, they have plenty of time to do it. We have created lots of MBAs...people who want to take advantage of their education, and to do so they want to squeeze a little more profit. And they're bored. And they need to stand out from thei

Not saying it outages wouldn't happen, saying it might not happen on a _global_ scale....and it's not the only downside. There are pros and cons to each solution.

Much like the RSA attack, now we get to see how Crowdstrike handles damage control.

It's almost as if we're seeing the downsides to our cloud based decisions. Uncontrolled costs, lack of visibility, placing control of critical processes in the hands of other groups...that also have control of critical processes g

It allows applications to run in different priviledge contexts and allows you inherit privilidges on a network, off the top of my head. Unless you _want_ your solitare game have the ability to enumerate your contacts and send mail.

While I LOVE LOVE LOVED BeOS. It resonated with me and it was a great experience...it wasn't multiuser and didn't have some stuff that I forget, but seemed necessary for a system to have long-term success. But mam did it cut out t

I think VR is a symptom that we're both running out of fertile tech to mine, and the population at large is tired of it. In order to make a compelling experience the tech is Very Expensive...and what it really is is a funky monitor and

But in the case of the solar pwer generation and storage, the added use didn't have a negative effect...There's no penalty for using more, so they use more.

I don't have my eye on these technologies (there were at least two that I've run across that were REALLY HEAVY), so I can't tell you how close they are to production. But every bit helps and the amazing pouch batteries in you

There are other storage technologies being fielded...they haven't been popular because their energy densities are low...but if you have a 2000 lb hunk of Iron Aire battery next to your house, who cares? ( https://www.popularm

My aging mind can't remember the actual facts but it was determined that when someone has significantly more power than they had a need for (say, full batteries and a whole lot of solar) that it opened up interesting behaviors. We try

iCloud synchronizes all my stuff between all my devices (windows too) now. They've always been privacy-forward. I could completely see a container that spins up and AI's my stuff in their datacenter, that they don't have visi

It's the potential for the model. Everyone else is hoovering the internet to model everything and Apple is sticking with their privacy message and saying 'how can I model your stuff to help you.' That's tangibly differen
