I went on Saturday morning to a Cars and Coffee event at someplace called "Heatwave Coffee", and took the 240Z.

While I was there, a kid about 16-17 years old drove into the lot in kind of a ratty white 280Z. While I was standing around with the dog drinking some bad coffee, he came up to me, and ...

I didn't look at the code, because I had a feeling that it was just a morass of unmaintainable spaghetti that was on its way to a critical mass of becoming unusable, but at least now I know that's the case.

We have a set of Henckels pots and pans that we bought through Costco when we found out our 18/10 stainless farberware from college (same as the stuff Geesie posted) didn't work on our induction stove. We have a small collection of Le Creuset (stock pots, dutch oven, and kettle), and some cast ...

Got the arduino project for the Audi's gauges to the point where I need to learn LVGL, at least in theory, because I don't have any ESP32-S3 boards on hand to test. It compiles (yay, ship it!), and should dump all the telemetry it reads to the serial console.

Got the steering back into the roadster yesterday. Replaced whatever oil had leaked out of the steering box with some corn head grease, so hopefully it doesn't leak (or leak as badly) out of seals that are no longer available from Nissan.

Kind of at a put up or shut up point, because the next ...

We got lasagna down to an art form, even if I do say so myself.

Have you tried ketchup, instant ramen, and kraft singles as a lasagna recipe yet?

The color temp can be specified in the app.

What you’re talking about is just not an issue with my lights.

My particular headlights are dimmable.

That's the point of my headlights. LED is just the technology they use.

I bought them specifically because they’d be reliable and I can turn them down by using an app on my phone. They remember the value you set them at, so my headlights are NOT unusually ...

Does anyone else ever give your cars the "silent treatment" after you fix them, until they've earned your trust back, or is that just me?

I absolutely loathe LED headlights.

I'm glad that although my current car is high tech, it still uses cheap incandescent, easily replaced bulbs.

I'm glad that my wife's car has halogen headlights, even if it is from the dawn of 2017.

It also has 17" wheels, so I'm not caught paying $300 ...

How salted are the roads in Hoth?
I've been told that cars last a lot longer these days before the floors rust out, except for maybe Mazda.

Rust buckets were common when I was a kid. Both car and deicing technology has improved to the point where rusty cars are a rare sight these days.

How much of that did you do on your own little plagiarism machine though?

Because once you end up using things like claude or grok or chatgpt, you’re beholden to the providers of tokens, which, once they’re past the initial VC rush of easy money, will quickly price these technologically-dead ...

1967 GTO: got it back on the road in '16, but now my dad is nearly 80, and I think the GTO owners' association convention in Loveland CO this summer is gonna be one of my last opportunities to do stupid stuff with him, so I've been getting it ready for that trip.

Ah, Apple. STILL screwing people over on RAM and storage after all these years.

No, 8GB is not nearly enough. 16GB is the absolute floor for anything that isn't an embedded machine, and even that is starting to cause problems. That said, it does look like a decent machine overall.

Yeah, and productivity apps (sans the stupid LLM "features") will exist fine there too.

I would hope that the scarcity problems manifesting in 2026 would put pressure on software to maybe stem the bloat a touch...

But no, instead we get to wonder how 8GB (about 6x more RAM than I had storage in the first machine I built) is inadequate.
