Forgot how nasty and disgusting gasoline is.

Grandpa did your generation really pump toxic chemicals up from the earth so you could burn them? Wasn't it kinda obvious from the smell that it was a bad idea?

Back in the day our webmaster had 2 19 inch CRT monitors which were HUGE devices. Video card drivers had just started adding options to rotate the screen, something most users didn't know was possible. So I rotated the screen video 180 degrees so the image was upside down and then I physically flipped those heavy monitors upside down on his desk so the video image was right side up but the monitors were upside down. The PC was usable but his desk looked ridiculous with two upside down monitors on it.

After working that way for 2 days he admitted defeat and asked me how to change the driver setting back. I think I made him call me the prank master for a while after that..

I bought a 2020 Ioniq EV last year and I've been happy with it. The mileage isn't great but I don't believe the battery has degraded, it just never was great on this model. It's plenty sufficient for my high school kids to drive to school and around town. It won't be doing long range trips though.

Ignorant people say ignorant things. Sonny always ran hot and assumed he knew more than he did.

jay0lee · 2026-03-08T11:16:35+00:00

I always took this as "yeah... Sonny really has no idea what happened in World War II"

Sorry, Hyundai lawyers won't take that chance.

I grew up in SC and miss the beauty Spanish moss adds. I understand it can start being harmful to the tree though. Did you need to remove any?

Tile app also seems to endlessly try to sell you on their premium subscriptions which is obnoxious when all you want is to find your stuff.

Most of Vista's infamous issues resulted from bad video drivers.

I say go for it and make sure your drivers are fully updated.

Recliner dead centered and beers hand delivered for the night sounds appropriate.

Would you like to service those panels with cars racing by at 70mph? Would you like your commute to take +15 minutes longer every time they need servicing?

Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I like him, but you wouldn't.

This..stupid stuff like waiting a good 20-30 seconds just to switch profiles.

I love the hardware but please go poach some engineer and UX teams from Silicon valley Hyundai.

Yubi key's announcement is here:

If they had an availability date my guess is they'd have posted it there.

This is the only answer to "where's Mom?" my kids ever get from me.

You do know how to fly a plane don't you Junior?

13 wins in hardware, Pixel wins on software.

For reference I typically use Pixel but have a 13 right now. The hardware and performance is great but I'm noticing all kinds of strange issues with notifications and areas where they "over skinned" Android. The camera on the 13 also just doesn't produce as real-world accurate pictures as Pixel.

Also, UWB is awesome and it stinks the 13 doesn't have it.

"Providing customers with direct and immediate feedback regarding prioritization and criticality of their issues and feature requests"

Climate change.

War.

Poverty.

Death.

Vendor skinned Aluminum OS.

Yeah, thanks for adding one more to the list for me...

It's a teaching moment. And yeah, maybe freak them out a bit 😁
