It’s awesome that one of the best features of my TV, “Find my remote” has been completely broken. Paid extra for the fancy Bluetooth remote and everything, and now it’s completely worthless. Every time I ask, I get “Sorry, I’m not set up to do that” despite it being something that I’ve been doing the past 5 years without issue
I can tell you as someone who read the papers on very early deepfakes and AI video generation with amazement followed by dread, this is going to be feasible on a large scale in a short period of time. Researchers do stuff on an absolute shoestring budget usually, it’s incomparable to what large companies and governments have at their disposal. There are already consumer products that were able to become fairly precise motion sensors with just a firmware update. Next gen devices will be built with motion fingerprinting in mind, I can almost guarantee it.
As much as people joke about stuff like this, a University’s music program or something could probably take advantage of something like that.
At work, we used to get the discounted NetJets subscriptions (still like $15k) from Costco because it was a crazy good deal and we would charter flights for some emergency issues where it made financial sense to use a private/charter flight to get on-site faster because the issue is costing $20-50k/minute of downtime.
Sure, your average person isn’t taking advantage of those deals, but someone does or else Costco wouldn’t offer them.
Or perhaps a diary farm in Wisconsin? Maybe they didn’t know Kurds was spelled with a “k” and not a “c”.
My friends tell me that I should write stories about the stuff I find but I’m really bad at that, it would be fun though.
Just wait until someone tosses a set of baby shoes, then you’re off to a great start!
Yeah, generally it just needs an update
Also when oil prices fell off a cliff
GTs or “Glory tests” have been done quarterly for decades at this point, hence being on GT-255, with the first being 63 years ago when the Minuteman was new. They’re meant to show that we can pull any random sample of our ground-based ICBMs and they’ll function, along with collecting data on how the fleet performs as it ages, among many other things. They have nothing to do with Trump, fortunately.
Nappucino! Works every time
Yup. Had no issue following the direction driving in the city in Japan, but going out to the mountains there were a couple times where I turned onto an unmarked road and went the wrong way for a bit. Hopefully I didn’t spook anyone too badly.
It’s one thing to continuously move dates like that, but the uniqueness of giving a 3 month window and saying it with such confidence is very amusing to me.
“3 months maybe, 6 months definitely” is still one of my favorite quotes from his timeline estimates.

Those crazy margins lasted for like 2 quarters until it was revealed that one of the main ways they managed it was severely under allocating warranty. It was a neat trick, until vehicles actually started to come back with warranty claims and they realized they literally make the least reliable and most expensive to repair cars on the market. IIRC they were allocating like 1/3 of what Toyota does per-vehicle, which is absolutely insane given the kind of vehicles they make. Hence why they became insanely stingy with warranty claims, and you saw tons of in-warranty repairs being allocated to “goodwill” which is a distinctly different pool from warranty allocation.
The entire company is built on fraud and shell-games with SpaceX/Starlink/Boring Co. and Musk has straight up admitted as much. No one gives a shit and a judge literally ruled he’s allowed to do it because line go up.
I can rant for hours about all the insanely sketchy stuff they’ve done solely for a one quarter boost, and plenty of other stuff where their cost-cutting directly resulted in loss of life.
In the US we also have places like Rent-A-Center that can be used for that. They tend to be quite predatory and usually target low income people to rent luxury goods they couldn’t normally afford, but I knew someone who’d rent their largest TV for a week for their Superbowl party, and it was a pretty good use for the service.
Because then you’d have a lip/ridges in the screen that would effectively look like 2 vertical cracks all the way up the screen. Honestly, the “plastic” screen isn’t that big of a deal. It’s effectively just a screen protector anyways, and Samsung gives you a free one within the first year, and replacements are $20 afterwards.
I’ve had my Fold 7 for 3 months now without issues, and honestly it’s the first phone I’ve owned since my first Note that actually felt like a “game changer” in any way. It makes for a fantastic E-reader and it’s just far more pleasant to read longer form articles and such on.
He’s said as much too.
Well, Musk’s companies sure seem to be buying quite a few, so I’m sure that’s helping him too.
Even worse is JIS, where it seems that its explicit and singular goal was to make a screw that would be instantly obliterated the moment a Phillips driver touched it. Fun fact, JIS drivers work far better on Phillips than Phillips drivers do, and I’ve yet to strip one since using JIS drivers almost exclusively
