  Yeah I’m still using the last of the good Panasonic VT50 models. It’s still going strong with a great picture. We got it in 2009. It’s early smart features were retired long ago.

  These articles make me shudder what I might replace it with

  The amperage to do that is insane, either you’re dumping power from town sized feeder lines (seriously limiting where you can place those chargers) or you are charging capacitors to charge the car (wasting energy and limiting how often you can charge a car at those speeds)

  My mother in law used the old English saying to explain an uptight / unfun person “they don’t even pee in the shower” in conversation. My mother was incredulous “WHAT? People pee in the shower?!” the other dozen people in the room were like “um, yeah, that’s normal” and she instantly thought we were all gross, and then switched to being extremely called out. That was a fun Christmas

  Spacex had a team of people who would cosplay as engineers and be enough of a distraction that it would distract him from meddling with anything really important. He’s mostly whittled away the leadership that protected the company from him these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mobile carriers can get your GPS location⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not with a bit of data processing. With one tower they can figure out how far away you are. They can track that over time and cross reference that with road layouts when you are moving at highway speeds. Knowing the signal will appear to slow down when you are moving parallel to the cell tower and faster when you are travelling towards or away. Modern antenna designs are also reasonably directional with a tower having banks that point out to cover different quadrants. They know what bank of antennas is facing you.
