Makes sense to me... the Toyota mini trucks of the 80s/90s were super useful and Tacomas are basically full-sized and not as efficient.

Well, there is no great way to import nicely formatted text into Notes, not even with Shortcuts. Respect to Gruber, but if Apple supports Markdown in Notes, it wouldn't be the wors…

So I assume these "trusted partners", who aren't charging for the service, are somehow in the data collection racket?

Is this article confusing correlation with causation? What about a tall/blunt hood, but not lengthy... has that been tested? Is there anything about where and how these vehicles ar…

Looking at Adobe's website, you'd never know it...

Even factoring in probable range increases and advances in charging tech, it will still be necessary to incrementally, if not fully, charge EVs in public. One thing that doesn’t se…

Some portion of the vision and spray tech was invented long ago by Patchen Selective Spray Systems. At some point, I believe John Deere bought the company.

That's something like 13 Twitters. This Metaverse thing must be good.

Gonna stick with my Brompton.

Also worth noting that almost no effort has been made by the folks making note taking apps to help people make better use of their entries. Sure, they've implemented things like ga…

There have been attempts at this (e.g. the hResume microformat) and you can use schema.org schemas to build one up, but beyond picking up basic data like name, address, telephone n…

Yes, true. I should have chosen my words more carefully. While the technology is better in a number of ways and the result is incrementally better in this specific application, the…

They just keep coming for the kids. This isn't even redeemable from a technical perspective as Disney has been doing this same thing on their cruise ships -in the Animator's Palate…

Right. Prior to social media, people were vetted many ways and in every context in which they gained an audience. (e.g. earned standing in social settings and community groups, pro…

Maybe start by actually hiring a doctor, a person you can form a relationship with, rather than a health care system/company. The doctor may charge high fees, but their behavior is…

Those are different. In those cases content is sent to the intended recipients. Whether they see it or not is up to the receivers. In the case of some social media platforms, the p…

Well, however someone might consider feeds, we don’t have the ability to truly take control of them. At least in the case of Facebook, they mostly decide what we see and they very …

If you were making the choice as to which friends you wanted to hear from or updates you wanted to receive from you're friends, then I take you point. When someone else, or their a…

What do you call it when you make a post that you assume your friends can see and only some are presented your post?

Man, I just want a t-shirt with the app icon artwork on it...

I dunno. Andreessen’s service layer may make sense for some startups in some industries, but for other companies a check from the likes of Tiger might be better. And how far down t…

Hoping municipalities around the country note that the amateur radio programs they've been depreciating over the last decade actually have a role to play in emergencies like major …

Whatever the number, the privacy costs and the downstream implications are significantly higher. Who knows where that will all end...

“They generate profits by compiling a profile of you from your data trail and then selling it to the highest bidder” Connecting another dot on this point: The creation and widespre…

Bought the same machine for my daughter in a sort of emergency situation. I thought I’d be returning it and ordering a higher spec machine, but never did. She plays games, runs Dis…
