This post gave me high blood pressure.

You got me curious as well so I googled it and it looks like CarPlay just uses the screen as a monitor with no messages or anything downloaded:

Now I wonder what kind of system these vehicles have that downloads text messages. Is that a function of the Bluetooth connectivity or is it a vendor application?

Going to miss Lower Decks till next season but looking forward to the episode. What Trek series is up next? Is there a final Discovery season releasing soon or another series between now and then?

Something about the best revenge being a life well lived.

I keep the wine makers in my thoughts as tapping the grape vines is even harder. Those can be super thin from what I understand.

Now that is some fucked up shit.

I am very curious as well. I read in the AP that the government is getting a lot of scrutiny over that at the moment but hasn’t provided any responses. All I have heard was that it was a well planned and coordinated attack so maybe the use of electronic warfare along with an initial attack on monitoring stations? Very interested in reading the report once more information is available.

Dude I think your drive achieved nuclear fusion. Congrats man. I assume the Nobel committee will be in touch shortly.

I posted that as a joke but being serious, I got my Wilderness First Responder cert last year and honestly believe that these are skills I should have learned in high school. It was only a three week course but it gave such great information and preparation that it should be standard in education. The 911 operator I engaged with relayed information to and from the EMS that was heading to the site and I don’t think anyone is really going to use YouTube or similar for this purpose. Chances are, if they need YouTube, they are probably panicking and if not, then the operator can relay basics. Good on you for doing a damn hard job I know I couldn’t pull off.

Sorry Gran, EMS is 20 minutes out. Hope you’ve been practicing holding your breath.

After??? Are you all planning on surviving the after wars? I’ll probably be taken out by a rusty nail after medical breaks down.

Damn Netflix keeps trying to get me to cancel. Like they are working hard at losing me as a customer. If my kids didn’t watch random stuff on there I would have already pulled the plug on it. This could be what does it.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

The stock vests across 4 years and then you get a refresh. There are a lot of staff that started 2019-2022 that are thinking about their lost value. Amazon will offer extra stock so they don’t lose money but many people are driven to work there from stories of the people previoiusly that would see their share price increase dramatically month to month like from 2013-2020. That’s what everyone got used to. So if you were told you got 60k of RSUs across 4 years, you knew it was really like 150k at least. For those that started like 4ish years ago that is no longer the case and I wonder how it will impact staff attrition.

LOL that was my first thought. Can Jellyfin transcode 4K to 1080p with this new hardware for streaming. I’m hoping OP gives it a shot.

Yeah it’s (as far as I know) just aesthetic since the pots were decorative from the 1800s. I don’t think anyone cares about the aesthetics of like brass pipe fittings but for something decorative (like the pots and a wedding ring) the aesthetics matter.

Yeah brass wouldn’t work as brass polishing sucks. I’ve had to spend hours every year polishing the brass pots at my grandparents place. Never again.

Please keep us updated! Very curious to see how it does with the updated gpu.

I’m wondering if they get away with it despite the lack of stock movement. So much of staff compensation is tied to stock price. Staff previously got RSUs allocated and stayed because they went up in value every year but lately it’s been stagnant. People are less likely to put up with this bullshit if there is no big payout at the end.

I’m starting to worry that I look like Steve Martin in this picture but in my mind I look younger. I shall stay away from mirrors to ensure the illusion.
