My Switch 2 is preparing to ship!! Been sweating a Target order cancellation since pre-ordering so this may be the sign it’s really happening.
Invasive tracking and pay-for-play search engines has broken the internet. It’s time to reclaim our independence with the Small Web.
Boiling the planet just for this... thing. Freaking awful.
Right? Instead of "I can show you some web results on your phone" every time it's now "Would you like to ask ChatGPT?" every time. Barf.
The rushed launch of Apple Intelligence was a debacle, reminding Apple it should focus on readiness rather than quickly appeasing shareholders.
Yes and no. It's fun to show off but driving is okay. No power steering, dealing with late 70s tech, it's a 5-speed so I HATE driving in traffic, normal classic car maintenance, and a lack of people who can work on it.
But lemme tell you: the moment I pop the doors, people come out the woodwork. Any time I get gas I have to pad the stop by 10-min for the inevitable person who'll come up and ask me about it.
Yeah it looks fast. That's about it. I would consider swapping it to an EV in the future to get some real performance on it.
It does... just spelled different. 😉
Thanks! I wouldn't know, because the speedo only goes up to 85!
Took my car out for its springtime shakeout drive. Pretty excited to get some miles on it here in NY now that the weather is finally nice.
Picked up a Hyperkin Dreamcast cable that outputs via HDMI. I tried it out and it’s displaying in this tiny box on my TV. The box on the cable has no settings and the TV is a 1080 Sony Bravia.
I’m not sure what options I have aside from stretching the image via the TV settings but if anyone can assist, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
The weird thing is that it doesn't matter what instance/server your friends are on. If they follow you, they'll get all your posts in their feed. The best advice I can give anyone starting out on Mastodon is to follow tags instead of people in order to surface interesting posts, then you can follow people as they come up on feeds.
Will be interesting to see how this goes in a year or two.
What reputation? The company never had one in the first place.
It still blows my mind that Toyota single-handedly made hybrids a very successful thing and yet squandered that position to Elon effing Musk. Toyota could’ve been THE market-leader for EVs while still making a killing with the Prius and ICE cars. They’d have a solid lock in all markets.
Toyota has one of the best reliability reputations of any automaker and yet anyone in the EV market (like I was recently) passes them over because they have zero models to sell. Instead of parlaying the Prius’ R&D into a viable EV too, they’ve left money on the table. Hyundai has gone all in and is selling a ton of EVs. I see more of theirs / Kia’s on the road than anything else (besides teslas).
You’re the true hero.
💯 The best way it was described to me was “it’s a parlor trick.” And I’ve started to use that phrasing ever since.
