I thought all View Askew was high fantasy.

Which one of the Cenobites are you?

I loved Inbox. I hate everything that was supposed to replace it. Spark isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’s not nearly as smart. Shortwave may be ok but my only IOS device isn’t set up to receive email and I haven’t bothered to try it since the Android app is new. Gmail is terrible. Outlook is Outlook.

Inbox worked in a way that my brain immediately understood and adapted to.

My guess is that some non-insignificant (though certainly not large) new portion of buyers will replace their head units, assuming they keep the double DIN standard. It’s trivial to change out currently.

Of course if too many people do it they’ll change the slot and make the wiring harness an incomprehensible mess. One wire now controls your left rear audio channel, rolls down all your windows, and deploys caltrops if the police are behind you. If you wire things incorrectly it locks you in and sets the car on fire.

That may be why GM is not going to be putting Car Play and Android Auto next year.

I’m getting some rainbow truck nuts and a car bra for my truck. I like to keep folks guessing.

Artists of all types. Egirls. Game creators. News organizations.

You’re exactly right. Given the circles we run in it’s easy to forget the rest of the world just doesn’t give a shit about any of this.

I have a Tailscale subnet router set up locally and added the remote IPs to my router. Tailscale on every device was a crapshoot as to whether it would route locally or through the VPN.

I asked support and they said it should be on every device. Could be something else on my network forcing it to act like that but I don’t have enough give-a-shit in me to troubleshoot it.

I’ve seen a lot of those and tend not to go there. Good luck to them, but I hate the gimmicks.

I visit the farmer’s market pretty often where it’s families selling things they grew or made. I like the tomatoes there and I get to buy better meat that isn’t factory farmed. There’s a regular independent grocery store where my parents live. The prices are a little higher but the produce tends to be better (mostly fresh and local) and there’s actually a butcher in the meat department. Those kinds of places are dying.

True, but if it ain’t a mom and pop sized shop then it ain’t my business. Go on down the road to the store that came in underpriced in order to drive out ma and pa so they could raise prices once those stores are out of business.

That 100% sounds like ChatGPT to me.

Everything in the 90s was Xtreme. He’s 52 which means he was in his 20s that decade. He got way into the X-Games, ate nothing but warheads extreme candies and Taco Bell extreme nachos, drank the 7-11 Xtreme Gulp, and watched the Extreme Ghostbusters.

Commercial rent is absolutely a huge reason. However, you’re missing something. It’s an easy way to get rid of a certain percentage of folks. A lot of MBAs, and by extension a lot of the C-Suite, act like employees are perfectly spherical and operate in a vacuum. So if they need to shrink their workforce by X% it doesn’t matter which employees leave.

Unfortunately for the employers the high performers are generally (not always) the ones with more options.

That’s kind of what DNP does. Side effects include death

I would posit that most people working in business at this point don’t even need things as powerful as a modern PC.

I’m not going to speak to the rest of it but this hit a sore spot. You’re exactly right. Most applications that most office workers use are web based. Heavy lifting is done on the server or, more commonly these days, through SaaS. Most workers could do what they need on a Chromebook.

Obviously there are some exceptions but not too many depending on what business and department you’re in.
