  • EV Stupidity Checklist

    Jump

  • Shockingly, the only fail for the Ford F150 Lightning is the physical buttons for climate control on the higher trim models (with the gigantic screen). The Pro and XLT have the physical buttons and I'll be damned if I don't miss them.

    And on those, fan speed is a touch and then you can dial the speed on the one physical control.

  • Inspired by 1975 F1 cars.

  • Kind of boxy for that galloping horse?

  • Looks like Volvo to me.

  • Does a PBJ have a defined "up" side?

  • Hawaii just found a way around Citizens United. Other states are following.

    Jump

  • Rather, the Hawaiian law is based on the fact that in the United States, corporations are created and given their powers by the charters of the individual states. Indeed, corporations simply are a legal creation of the state, everywhere they exist, by definition. The new law simply states that corporations doing business in Hawaii do not have the power to engage in local, state, or federal political campaigns, that that was not one of the powers enumerated in the state’s corporate charter. It further specifies a range of penalties—including losing the right to conduct any business in the state at all—if they do.

  • I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.

  • I still miss my T-Mobile G1 and G2 with their slide out keyboards. ... And the replaceable screens and batteries.

  • That's probably an actual quote? It's so bad, I find it hard to tell.

  • This could genuinely be actual dialogue from True Blood.

    I drunkenly hate watched a season and change of that ages ago and can still hear the vampire guy grunting "Sookeh."

  • Based on what you think the company you work for spends on salaries, what percentage does that company actually spend on creating value - that is, on the people who actually do the work?

    Jump

  • I'm definitely aware now. We're global and that means even more overhead with multiple regulatory bodies. Our products are several years to their first market, and at least another year for the global rollout.

    And I'm just over here writing software and trying to reduce toil for these insane people who hand-roll excel files like they're databases and applications.

  • I left the tech world and now work for a medical device company. All I can say is I'm extremely happy to be working from home with the 3 hours of meetings and 1-2 hours of work I have each week. And the director wants to get me a junior because I'm managing so many projects. Hell, I'm actively drumming up work and it takes weeks for anything to happen.

    Sure I took a bit of a pay cut, but I'm not on call 1 week a month and I'm not being run ragged everyday either.

  • What are your worst tech purchases?

    Jump

  • Barnes and Noble Nook HD+

    I was all in on a 1080p tablet with micro sd card in 2012. And then it just shut off and never turned on again a few months out of warranty.

    Then there was a Lenovo yoga tablet in 2014 with windows 8. The Intel atom processor was such a dog it just ended up being a solitaire screen and about nothing else.

    Recently bought another cheap tablet for a different specific use case. We'll see if this one is a POS.

  • Google Gemini is coming to more cars, but some consumers aren’t cheering

    Jump

  • For sure (our Volvo is 1 year too old to have the android automotive system and ... It would be better). The Amazon effort that powers the Alexa + Ford sync business isn't quite at that depth: it's an API with always online "AI learning" stuff OEMs can integrate.

  • Up over 7% after hours (on near 2x expected EPS). For a business that big, it's enough. Of course that could change next quarter. The mythical "investor" is capricious in the extreme.
