I don’t disagree with you, but that doesn’t negate GP’s or mine’s point.

I’m curious if GP has any positive examples too, but did want to mention that being “the best of the awful” doesn’t make one not “awful”.

I get your point completely, but to me, yes there are “small” tech giants. They are the tech companies that aren’t remotely FAANG scale, but are still common household names.

It’s not an AP related issue in my case and AirPlay as well as all other Bonjour / mDNS based things work great. It’s something specifically broken with HomePod stereo pairs that’s a known issue to the team (details of which my source

Sure, the best diesel engines get 40-45% and some gasoline engines approach 40%, but that is definitely not the norm. The average is 20% for gasoline (hence my prior figure) and 30% for diesel, which is a far cry from the average electric m

1 gallon of regular gasoline is 33kWh and a gallon weighs 6lbs. For a 33kWh battery pack comprised of 18650 Samsung 35E cells, you’re probably looking at around 300lbs for just the cells alone. Irregardless, it doesn’t matter because an ele

That accident was caused by an inattentive driver, full stop. Even an FSDb equipped Tesla isn’t autonomous, and the car in question didn’t even have that.

Couple suggestions after playing with this: 1) the experience mostly works on mobile (where I first tried it). With only minimal changes in the fixed sizing I think you could make this mobile friendly. 2) for posts shared via your Twitter,

I’d much prefer to run this locally on my own. Any chance you’re willing to share code (or suggestions / links since it looks like you might be trying to monetize this per your Twitter posts)?

Do you remember what that was? Dectalk was around in the 80s and so might’ve been that, but it wasn’t a generally available thing. Dr Sbaitso was common, but that wasn’t until 91/92.

Author goes to plug in USB cable to monitor. Seemingly has to spin the cable three times. Yep, definitely legit! USB-C may have its own category of problems, but at least directional superposition isn’t one of them.

I’d argue the “good” route shown as an example should be the “default” way you use it. The alternative is arguably worse in most ways imho. Edit: not used their Alpine or Alpine-CSP, just commenting on the example syntax in the link shared
