Kind of late to the party, and I haven't watched the videos yet. What do we know about John Ternus's background? Is he another "bean counter," an engineer, or more of a creative/product guy?

He was the head of hardware before this. I suspect he will be less bean-counter-ey.

Disclosure Day

It's a Spielberg movie, watch it

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15047880/

I found this very mid.

I watched 'Sneakers' (1992) for the first time last weekend, that was excellent.

Been waiting a few months for this; upgrading from a 2020 Intel iMac so this will be quite the upgrade.

After a mediocre test drive about a month ago; I've pulled my R2 reservation (I was a day one). Currently leaning heavily towards the BMW iX3; though that wouldn't happen until early next year due to their wait list (which is fine).

My search engine use has not shrank. It's grown massively. I used my 100 trial search queries in the span of 3-4 days.

… for what, exactly? Not trying to be a dick, but I think I've see my search engine page less than 100 times in the past few years combined.

I quite liked Backrooms.

… I guess I'm not sure what I would use a search engine for these days? Like, in the last ten years it seems the primary purpose of a search engine is to point me to the correct website using the auto fill in my url bar (as that's where it comes from).

I like Duck Duck Go myself.

Man, that sucks.

Non sequiter: I found three Apple Airport Time Capsule units yesterday, priced at $15 each. Didn’t buy them but am thinking that an external Time Machine backup might be a good way to divest from iCloud.

Just in time for them to lose support.

You could buy a '25 Lexus IS with a CD Player; they just this year finally removed it.

Awesome!

I saw one of these for the first time yesterday (also in White); nice car!

I'm still on Sequoia because why not?

Same. No issues here! Will be until the M5 Studio comes out.

I still haven't updated; not really planning to still. Everything works fine now, why upgrade to a buggy mess?

I wish there was an easy way to buy the market while excluding specific companies.

Ah, they finally revealed the charging port location for the new Luce.

Nice.

I‘m staying the hell away from model cars. That‘d get out of hand right quick.

I've done some Gunpla in the last few months (picked up two kits, only made one so far). It's quite fun, very Zen as you're working.

I printed off some cat food can holders over the last week; and reclaimed a bunch of shelf space in my cabinet (as they can now fit in these super awkward smaller shelf area.

I find CF's takes to be tepid at best on most subjects. "Resigns" lol - the man freaking retired, he's 65.

Issues with Elon not included; I feel like they didn't even do the concept of what they wanted well. I also find Tesla interiors to be an abomination - who the hell thinks putting the turn signals on the steering wheel is a good idea? Should be illegal.

I need to get my Legacy redone at some point, I was ball parking like $10k for it.

I fucking love Taskmaster! Was one of the first things I added to my Plex server.

Awesome photos.

That seems horrid. But I also usually run with about 4-5 tabs max at any given time.

Got a loaner from the dealer while my car is in getting new tires. Thing is a boat, but pretty nice. Hilariously low power and awful gas mileage though (17.5 over it's short 500 miles of life).

Then he said, "your Z is what got me into Z cars".

You have that effect on people! What a great story.

The Mac Studio page makes it pretty clear.

I saw a screenshot of someone playing Diablo 2 on the OS X Beta; and at that point I knew I needed a Mac. So; I've been along for the ride the entire time. Don't regret it one bit either.

LLMs running locally based on your own data could be quite useful; and can't really be considered plagiarism either. I know we have our own internal one at work that is trained exclusively on our own data which is mildly useful.

2004 Jaguar XKR coupe. Weekend car. I inherited it from my father when he passed away in 2017. I love driving this car.

That Jag.

I don't know about EVs, but the Prelude is still on their site.

Bah, I confused the Prelude and the Prologue - which are like the same freaking name.

The Prelude is also not long for the world though, it basically doesn't sell.

Honda axed all their EVs, including the GM Made Prelude yeah.

My PHEV is an SUV. :shrug:

Some day, once I have my car barn, I'll have one.

Your Z cars are actually what made me love 'em.

Have you tried using The Force?

Nope, but I have tried lots of time ha ha. The blue pieces are:

2 coats filler primer
1 coat gloss black
2 coats silver
3 coats blue
2 coats clear coat

I give each coat at least 2 hours to dry… so you can see it takes some time.

Made some Diablo 2 Rune fridge magnets - the multi color print turned out nicely. Small little gift for my friends, giving them each an 'Enigma' set.
