Stats
I saw an older man driving a Chevrolet Astro minivan in a parking lot. It looked like it was in very good condition. The paint and trim were perfect, and that is unusual for #Hawaii - especially an older vehicle. The engine still sounded like it was about to die… so same as when they leave the factory floor.
It was like seeing a unicorn to have one survive to 2026. Maybe he has the last model year: 2005. That’s still 21 years old.
#Amazon One Palm authentication is being discontinued. They should have done face authentication. It’s working in China very well. 🥴
This has to be rage bait. Spending nearly $25k/year on Amazon and posting about it in r/Anticonsumption on #Reddit? 😂
Landlord is here at the apartment swapping out the ballast that burned out in my kitchen lights. They are going on 2 hours, and it looks like maybe another hour before completion. They paused so many times to rewatch the how-to videos on YouTube. 😂
As an older tech person, it's legit heartwarming watching the TikTok generation discover why we all hate Oracle.
"With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors."

Your Thursday night moment of zen: Let it go! from Frozen sung in the native Klingon. 😎🤓😅

Something maybe #Linux community can look into.

That is very expensive for email… $10/month/user?! I thought #fastmail prices for $5/month/user was pricey!
#selfhosting email needs to be a thing again.

EDIT: Sorry, that was the gzipped package. Unzipped it's 628mb.
Really understanding why Yoda chose to die, instead of answering more of Luke's questions.
Me to me: Be kind to yourself
Also me to me:
I didn’t even know “glass cloth” was a thing inside of chips. #TIL. It’s the new “no more memory available” problem #Apple, #AMD, #Qualcomm, and #Nvidia are having problems sourcing. (Although I think Apple and Nvidia are secure in memory department).

The most exhausting thing about the AI coding discourse is how by far the two loudest positions are "AI coding can do everything and will replace everyone" kool aid chuggers, and "AI coding is 100% evil trash and never will be useful" hardcore skeptics, and nothing in between.
Tried to add my driver’s license to my #iPhone & #AppleWatch wallet. After a 3-week wait, I get a message with a generic “can’t verify your identity - contact DMV”.
I guess next time #starbucks employees should draw a snowflake. ❄️ https://ktla.com/news/local-news/starbucks-barista-fired-for-pig-drawing-on-deputys-cup/
