They’re trying to low-key, sneak in VBscript and XAML.

Technically, it’s ‘pipes’ not ‘wires,’ but they function the same.

When you hold the phone in your hand while standing on the ground, you’re closing a very long circuit that connects everyone via underground ‘electro-acoustic pipes.’ A few years ago, they laid conduits under waters so people from island nations could make overseas calls.

That is also why they would ask people to turn off their phones when they get on airplanes. They finally got it working while moving using flight attendants on break, small flashlights, and quantum encryption.

Scientists are still working on calls dropping when people are on trampolines.

People have been trying to ascribe consciousness to machines since the 1800s and the advent of ‘calculation engines.’ Robots and Golems were physical manifestations. Can go even earlier, but those were speculative fiction.

Scrape the surface of anyone pushing ‘machines are like humans’ and it always ends up being a money-raising grift. Good luck with that.

People wanting to also center it vertically is what broke the web.

Don’t forget the ‘TES.’

Between DJI Action 6 and Insta360 X5 on the high end, and the cheap knockoffs on the low end, GoPro is in a big pinch. Unless they pull a totally new rabbit out of the hat.

There’s always been a short distance between SEO and manufactured opinion.

Pro-tip: When crushing a batch of dried ghost-peppers in a blender, make sure you cover the top with plastic cling wrap before you put the lid on.

Don’t ask me how I know…

Python Bokeh: https://bokeh.org/

Was doing enterprise IoT consulting a while back. Asked why they needed to collect all the data? Nobody could answer. Someone finally said, so we can analyze usage patterns. I asked, “OK, but why?” Finally, someone said: “So we know when and where to advertise our sales.”

Also did automotive consulting work. Connected vehicles. Asked the same questions. I’m not too worried about my car collecting a lot of data. It’s so they can plan their next sales event.

Not that it’s OK to violate privacy. Just saying, the reason may be way more banal than we think

I never understood why a well-known brand like RayBan would want to be associated with this.

A guy finds an old lamp in the desert. He rubs it and a genie pops out. The genie tells the guy he has two wishes.

The guy says, “I always thought it was three wishes.”

The genie says, “Check your pants.”

The guy looks down and says, “Woah, it’s huge!”

Genie says, “I’ve been doing this for a long time.”

May want to watch for a bundle sale at a big discount. Most useful is the impact driver and the drill. Also, some extended batteries.

Mistakes were made.

You’ve tried the dime bag. What do you have to lose?

New AWS us-southeast data center just went online.

Tweas?

Pretty cool, but no mention of range distance or power use.

This bus proposal is basically a ‘back to the drawing board’ plan. How can you get people to travel between SF and LA faster than driving, and maybe cheaper than flying, especially if jet-fuel prices stay high.

It’s going to follow the existing roadways. What the original high-speed rail project could have done, instead of jogging far inland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_of_California_High-Speed_Rail

Given diesel fuel costs, they’ll probably end up with EV, perhaps with overhead cabling. And to avoid expensive ‘self-driving’ buses, maybe they’ll put down ‘guide lines.’ To be able to go faster than cars, they’ll have their own lane, or use center divider areas. And to avoid pollution and wear and tear, instead of rubber tires, they’ll go with metal wheels. But to prevent damage to the roads, maybe they’ll have to swap the guide lines with hard metal, protective lines…
