It feels a bit different to me. Tesla hugely invested in their own charging network, while everyone else let EA do it for them. Tesla could have kept their network private to sell more vehicles. As for the exclusive Rivian chargers…I’ve never seen one, but the nearest one to me is about 300 miles away.

Don’t remind them, please. 🤪

This Chipotle blog entry describes things the best as far as I know: https://chipolo.net/en/blogs/chipolo-point-delay-and-google-find-my-device-app-update

Basically, in December, Google and Apple (and others?) came up with a standard on discovering trackers that are being used to stalk people. Because of the large iOS install base, Google has elected to wait for Apple to roll out that feature on iPhones before enabling the tracking device support on Android.

You were right. There is an in-game controller settings menu that got changed. So, that fixed my problem! Thanks for the help!

There are so many scam apps in the AppStore today. So many apps have slot machine style mechanics that get people addicted and convince them to pay for more turns. In addition, a bunch of kid-friendly apps have really short subscription periods (a day?) At a high price (say $3.99).

It’s not to say that App Review has no value, but when it comes to scams that separate people from their money, Apple has 30% of a reason to look the other way

Thanks for the hat tip. I was surprised it actually happened. That being said, the AD probably described the culture as a positive just to be nice. Brady retiring saved him a giant headache.

Getting a CD on the N64 would have allowed for some cooler videos in the middle of the game (and would probably have made things cheaper for developers), but, in my opinion, the thing that really killed the N64 is the tiny (4k) texture cache combined with high latency RAM on the system.

That’s why N64 games have a “look” that can be easily identified.

Brady Hoke at San Diego State would like you to throw his name into the hot seat section. After going 12-2 in 2021 (w/ a good defense and the punt god), they are 10-11 over the past 2 seasons, and regressing quickly. Their most recent game ended with a 0-6 loss to Nevada, which hadn’t won since Sept 2022 and was second to last in points allowed. There is a brand new stadium that they are struggling to fill. His buyout of ~$5 million is probably too much for them to afford, but that seat is certainly hot.

I think there business model was to make money by running a recruiting service. In theory, prospective employers could see how well you really know a topic based on your answers.

I’m curious who you’d want to better represent people from West Virginia? Trump won the presidential vote ~69% to ~30% in 2020 (and by a similar margin in 2016). If Manchin retires, he’s going to be replaced by a MAGA republican. Even though he is far to the right of the typical Democrat, he’s really the best the Democratic party can hope for from that state

There is a bit of trickiness to the NACS announcements. They are using the NACS physical connector with CCS signaling. So if EA or EvGo or ever release a NACS connector, you’ll need that CCS module to get electricity

I just want to be able to buy a CCS retrofit for my model 3. Hopefully that gets released soon

Technically, I think the ability to sign enterprise apps (ie. Apps that can be side loaded for your company) cost $399/year.

Agreed. It’s an awesome feature, but Apple isn’t likely to do the work to replace crappy enterprise software. Those software companies spend lots of time developing central management consoles (is everyone up to date?), they provide “reports” to show that the company is compliant to a ton of requirements (ie. SOX compliance), and other features that describe exactly what their software protects against. While none of those tools provide benefits to the end user, companies dig that crap.

Tough choice. I’d personally pick the 2020 model 3. It should have the second generation Intel CPU for the infotainment system, plus it should have HW3 for better autopilot behavior.

Plus, the 2018 Model S is now two generations old on the powertrain, so it’s likely that the mechanics only get minimal training on those older systems. And the battery uses older chemistry compared to the model 3.

That being said, you’d get a ton more space with the model s, and it’s likely going to be a good car.

And just to be pedantic, if it’s a newer MacBook, then the included cable is a “MagSafe” cable, which has USB-C on one end and a magnetic rectangle to plug in to charge. (You can still do regular USB-C charging if you want)
