I'm wondering if they did infact submerge the part of the car in water. They all but say that in the article. The headline is Tesla clickbait, as it clearly wasn't just related to driving in the rain, but rather submerging part of

It doesn’t have to be a negative thing though. Journalists on Twitter is totally OK as a community that is Tweeting at each other for the benefit of their own networking and community. That’s not a bad thing :-)

I’d be more inclined to suggest that Facebook has that role. I’m not exactly sure what Twitter / X is these days, but my Twitter isn’t Normies and Mainstream Convos :-) Everyone I knew IRL has left Twitter.

I’ve recently been suffering from persistent tinnitus. Anyone have any idea what causes it? I’d read that Noise Cancelling headphones can be an issue. As can Stress be a cause. The Noise Cancelling Headphones I have stopped using. The stres

You also have a range advantage coming up. Your arm and the end of your sword can more easily reach the feet and lower legs of something above you. Whereas coming down the stairs, you have a harder time getting your sword to reach someone c

A widely shared article from a few years back claimed that Excel was the world's most popular design tool. I googled - I couldnt find the article :-) I think it was in the Guardian or some such.

Because home servers tend to be bursty on demand workloads. If you doing something that is hammering a CPU at 100% 24/7, then you’d get a faster CPI to get the workload completed faster and you’d be back to having idle CPU cycles… Now

Yes, it’s great. I love that they focus on the real world of building products at an SME level and not Facebook scale. They seem to have a mix of pragmatic and idealistic approaches to the world of software and business. This approach total

PTSD is a spectrum :-) As all disorders are. I can remember being in bed and hearing jets flying overhead and literally being terrified I was about to be nuked. These weren’t commercial airliners. I lived on the coast in the UK. It was airf

No one is looking to China for ethical business practice. Copyright ethics are something we have invented. China chooses not to follow western copyright regulations. That’s not unethical, to them anyway. Indeed, Copyright law was originally

You could argue Twitter was a niche market as compared to Facebook! Twitter was constantly criticised for never living up to its potential; features, growth, revenue. Now people are complaining that Twitter isn’t like it was. The world has

MS has an opportunity though. Google search gets slated by the tech community. As does Bing. MS have sensed the blood in the water, and realise they have an opportunity in Copilot. I wouldn’t be surprised for the Bing brand to go away. Copi
