I've been watching him for years and he's an excellent resource for information on electric vehicles. Very informative.

Hopefully Hyundai and others have addressed this very real problem. I read once there are safety regulations governing when the brake lights can be lit, but automatic emergency braking systems on all modern cars do put on the brake lights, so I don't see why they can't light them when regeneratively braking.

Electric Trucker on youtube also recently commented on a video about one truck he drove that didn't light the brake lights when regeneratively braking, and he said that was big problem. But other trucks do.

Technology Connections is most certainly not in the pocket of oil companies!

Yeah it's quite the wasteland out there, sadly. PC Mag did a recent rreview of ergonomic keyboards on the market now, and none of the ones they reviewed looked any good to me. Chiclet key caps and hardly any key travel. Sigh.

There's a split keyboard from a company called Meetion. They want a pretty penny for it. A few reviews say it's favorable to the MS Natural. Wireless only unfortunately.

My father also loves the MS natural keyboard and he has two or three spares in boxes that he bought a few years ago. I looked on Amazon today and found one for sale (brand new) but it's a french version but might work in english? They do come up once in a while. I bought one off of ebay a while back.

I've been using the Adesso natural keyboard (PCK-208B) for years, and like it better than the MS natural. Just about wore the letters off the key caps. The version I use has been discontinued (sigh) but Adesso still makes and sell split keyboards, which they call TruForm. But I don't know if they are any good. They moved the two halves closer together.

The GOP certainly doesn't and are taking a lot of steps to ensure that they don't.

If it's got that kind of earning potential, what went wrong for the owner? Obviously he's lying or he'd be making a lot of money himself right now. He's just out to scam someone.

I'm sure there is someone stupid though. but most of the collectors I've seen are pretty discriminating in their purchase of NASA history. There's one collector that has at least one (now) working Apollo guidance computer. Some very brilliant Google engineers didn't several years reverse engineering it, repairing it and ultimately flying it in simulation. They've now backed up and archived several of the versions of the software that flew on Apollo. That's the kind of history worth preserving. Too bad it has to rely on rich private collectors. But no one else really cares.

Haha. We'll never see them. Today they transferred Ms Maxwell to a random prison camp in Texas. Any bets on when she'll get sick and die out there?

It's great! I mean, the syntax is a little unusual in that it seems to start with the URL google.com and the protocol isn't http or https but "site:reddit.com"...other than that, the search is great!

I mean...I'm not American so have no view on your parties but otherwise, yes you got the idea. That's what a competition authority is meant to do. Of the ones you mention there's investigations into Google search, Microsoft was already convicted for Windows but wriggled out of it, Apple and Google are both being investigated for practices on iPhone/Android respectively, Apple Music/Spotify both complained about dominant abuse and I think there was some investigation (I know there were complaints, not keeping up to date with outcomes), Coke and Pepsi are enormous if you consider their sub-brands too and I completely agree with looking into the food market (throw in Unilever as well), Amazon's abuse of dominance has led to many fines, Walmart - again not American but what I read about them going in at a loss, waiting for things to close/go bankrupt and then raising prices all the while claiming subsidies for their workers - yep, agree they should be investigated. Steam absolutely should do - it has far too much dominance. Meta and Tiktok both were investigated...

Yes, you're pretty much spot on with what a competition authority should be doing.

There is a kids' app.

Never mind that it's American consumers who are demanding this. With Trump it's all about blaming others for his/America's problems. He never takes responsibility. Ever. Unless it's something others praise and then he's quick to tell us all his opinion of himself.

As someone who is self-deprecating and embarrassed by any sort of praise, my mind is boggled by his behavior, and how many people are cheering him on. Perhaps a solid third of the population is mentally ill? Probably, no matter what team you cheer for.

Most importantly, the Boring Company's raison d'etre is that it builds tunnels at far lower cost than conventional methods.

Faster than conventional methods? Nothing the Boring Company is doing is different from everyone else. I'm not sure why Musk thought he could buy a tunneling machine and somehow run it faster than everyone else. And they can't do it any cheaper either.

Maybe some day that rock vaporizer drill technology we read about a few weeks ago could be scaled up to burn out large tunnels. But until then, there's nothing at all special about the Boring Company, other than the continued hype and ketamine dreams.

I can assure you that if you harnessed a large number of peacocks, their potential as a sonic-based weapon is far higher than as a laser-based on.

Well we have to do something enable all those supply-chain attacks. Now we can have them in the kernel!
