    the marketing name is "Mail Drop", and it is separate from iCloud mail; though it should only fire if there's a 20mb+ attachment on the email. cloudd is used by a shit-ton of servi…

    For 2026, the 401k limits are $72,000 overall, and $24,500 for pre-tax employee contributions. Assume an employer who matches 50% up to pre-tax employee contribution max, the resul…

    And you can plug almost any modern EV into the Tesla supercharging network without issue. However, unlike Teslas, you can _also_ plug and charge them in other networks. On self-dri…

    R2s are already being delivered to customers. There is no honest way to manufacture a $40k price gap.

    Charging experience? Teslas can't charge as fast as a modern Kia, Lucid, Geely, or BYD. They can't two-gun charge like a BYD. They don't have battery-swaps like NIO. They've got a …

    I have considerable Roth assets because my employer's 401k allows for the Mega-backdoor, which means I can put $30k+ per year of after-tax income into 401k (beyond the normal pre-t…

    The key is your comment about rotating between 4-5 different vendors to control costs. That will naturally rotate you _away_ from vendors who expand margin, and _toward_ those who …

    That is a largely incorrect statement that is loosely based on a single incident, not a trend. The single incident was an individual in Malaysia who added an after-market finger-pr…

    It's fascinating that you simultaneously argue that margins will expand... while posting about personal behavior all of which points toward commoditization and intense price compet…

    Elon Musk cares that Elon Musk benefits from policies. He does not give a single solitary fuck about you. If you get lucky and your interests align, great. But Musk talks fairly op…

    Even if carbon was a complete non-issue, electrification and a greater diversity of energy sources would still have immense value.
