No sir, it means you're sane.

I feel like there was definitely a golden age for printers, because when I was a kid we had an Epson Stylus Color 800 that was literally Satan crammed into a shitty beige box, but my HP LaserJet from like 2012 is still going strong.

Oh shit, I didn't know that about Telo. That gives me a little more hope about it, though it still doesn't have the same draw to me as the Slate does, Amazon involvement notwithstanding. Honestly, with how simple the Slate is, I'm curious how Amazon would even exert the same control over their vehicles as Tesla does (but not curious enough to want to find out, of course).

You absolutely can access it from outside your network if you configure it that way.

Oh yeah, I do remember looking at those too, but iirc they were all still at a significant range disadvantage compared to the model 3. Dunno about now, though.

That's when I bought mine, and it was either get a Model 3 with ~270 miles of range or a Nissan Leaf or a tiny BMW iQ, both with like 80.

For the record, if the software updates stopped where they're at today, I'd be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they'd just leave things alone at this point because I don't want any extra features out of the thing.

It kinda feels like the digital equivalent of "I'M MOVING TO CANADA" in a lot of cases.

It crashed hard and it crashed fast after a prolonged period of unsustainable growth. Is that not a bubble?

My uncle loves to tell a story from his youth about when he was driving his VW bug up in Maine back in the 70s. As he was winding through the woods on a back road, he struck and killed a rather large buck, which is honestly a fairly impressive feat for a 1970-something VW bug. As he's standing there assessing the (thankfully minimal) damage to his car, a game warden pulls up and informs him that, in Maine, if you kill an animal while hunting, you're legally required to haul carcass home with you under threat of jail time.

And so began his several-hour task of cramming a 6-point buck into the back seat of a 1970-something VW bug. As far as I remember, he was successful, too.

If it's anything like the crypto bubble from a couple years ago, then yeah. eBay should be flooded with used RAM and GPUs.

It took me a solid half-dozen tries not to pronounce it "mid-leend." After that much effort, I decided to let my dumb brain win and go with it.

Holy FUCK YES. I had to switch to Gnome because the framerate difference was giving me a headache.
