San Francisco - “needs to be at least 75, because the temp is going to drop dramatically in 2 hours”

I miss those powermac cases with doors. Those were peak.

A lower net. Plays a more like tiny tennis.

Been getting more and more popular over the decade, and it’s pretty huge in the states these days. If you’re in a major US metro, you know someone who plays it.

Android and iOS also have guardrails around this. The OS asks for user consent and the user can grant no access or limited access.

Limited access, which is what you’ll want for a dating app that requires photo sharing, has been in iOS since 2020 (iOS 14). Android has been doing it since 2022 (Android 13).

BYD and the CCP:

I mean, some NATO nations have been known to join the US in a dumb fight. But Trump has also directly tariffed and threatened many of the nations that would normally help the US. Friends are gonna be short supply.

LEAVE HIM ALONE DHARAMVEER

Is Kramer holding a bologna bag in that picture?

It’s almost like there was some sort of reason why no one else was stupid enough to do this.

Traffic may have been more manageable when they took the gig.

Or, maybe housing costs and limited jobs forced them into this position. I know a lot of people in my area live away from the urban center for more affordable housing, but they work in the urban center because that is where the job opportunities are.

A big exception to the rule are the HomeKit secure video cameras that work in Apple’s ecosystem. If your HomeKit compatible camera is going straight into HKSV, and isn’t paired with manufacturer’s own cloud video service, then it’s all E2EE and it can’t be accessed by Apple, even with a warrant.

Problem is, camera offerings are limited, and scrolling clips in HomeKit is paaaainful. Also, if you’re not in Apple’s ecosystem, you can’t use it.

First, there’s the pull-forward effect. December 2025 was Tesla’s best-ever retail month in China at 93,843 units, as buyers rushed to purchase before the reinstatement of a 5% purchase tax on NEVs starting January 1, 2026. That tax had been fully exempted for over a decade. Some of January’s weakness is borrowed December strength.

Second, China’s vehicle trade-in subsidies expired in most cities in mid-November and remain in a transitional phase, dampening demand broadly.

Third, the broader NEV market was weak. China’s total passenger NEV retail sales fell 20% year-over-year in January to 596,000 units, according to CPCA estimates. Even BYD saw its NEV sales drop 30% year-over-year and 50% month-over-month.

But here’s the thing: even BYD’s weak month produced 210,051 units. Tesla’s 18,485 is a different universe.

Slicked back hair is the wrong move when you have a fivehead like that.

Totally agree. I’ve been keeping ink tanks in ziplock bags so they don’t dry out.

I think I might cut over to a B&W inkjet. There are tiny versions of those now, and I can print color elsewhere.

Only problem is size. Color lasers are chonky compared to a color inkjet. And a small printer is nice if you only print a handful of times a year. They’re easier to shove in a drawer or closer.

The days of me dedicating 24/7 desk space to a printer is over in my house.

We also need some sort of way to prevent heads from drying out so quickly.

Printer companies know heads dry out, and they ship tanks with caps / tape for prevent dry out on retail store shelves. But once the tanks are installed, printers just leave the heads exposed to the air. Like a pen without a cap, the tanks dry out.

I print like 5 times a year. So 90% of the time, when I’m replacing a tank, it’s because the damn head dried out.

Only problem with laser is the desk size for color laser. If you don’t print very often, and you want color, a laser can take up space.

Finally a way to turn clean solar into something I can burn.

But, but the traffic was fake.
