Lakes too for a big sherried malt.
Go on Facebook marketplace. See if anyone is selling PCs for cheap which you can cannibalise for memory.
I heard an interesting take that the 90s dot com bubble was due in part not to a lack of demand, but over investment in infrastructure which didn’t match demand.
AI has a huge investment in tech, especially DRAM which has to pay back at some point. Could see the market flooded.
For those of us in the U.K., this is very scary.
If you’re reading my posts, you can also list many, many loopholes you could drive trucks through.

Micron - one of three major vendors of memory in IT - is shutting the Crucial retail business to focus on selling to vendors and data centre owners.
Restricting supply to retail as prices are soaring by huge jumps.

@throttlesteerer.bsky.social I’m sure you’ll be sent this plenty, but…

Also Johnny Briggs, Press Gang, Round the Twist and Knightmare!
I like MagSafe charging stands because they’re pretty and easy to use, but also the costs/wattages involved are low. It’s telling how little wireless charging is used elsewhere.
(Just to add, I think the EV ‘turbo’ Cayenne is a big and unnecessary and silly and I’d love one. I suspect the depreciation will be all of those things too!)
On a domestic supply, that’s around 95 amps, or what many houses would be fused for in total.
More than that, if part of your justification for an EV is lower cost, would you happily double your home charging cost to not plug in a cable?
I’m fascinated by the wireless charging on the new Cayenne. 11KW inductive charging over a gap of… 30cm?
A quick Google suggests Qi wireless phone charging is 50% efficient. Wireless charging needs AC power to work too. So for the car to get 11KW you need to supply 22KW…
I like the idea of Bond like Dr Who. Yes, there’s bits of lore that keep coming back, but the actors and characterisation is more reflective of a writer or a world mood. Craig Bond was a reaction to Austin Powers and Borne, just as others a reaction to the Cold War.
Filed for bankruptcy but came out the other side. Suspect these cars would carry Hoonigan branding no matter what though
(And I say all this as a Wetzlar bystander, never having owned one)
Indeed. I just seems like using the L mount and giving it AF would have been a great step up from the Q experience. Why wouldn’t you buy an M and have the rangefinder over the EV1?
I don’t get the new Leica. It’s like a worse M and a worse Q.
Hypoxia as a service?
You have to be rich to save money.
Congrats! Mind over maths!
Aston Martin Lagonda doesn’t own the F1 team. Rather Stroll-led consortiums own both, and AML sponsor the F1 team to (what has been) about $20m a year.
Oh, oh, I read about this somewhere. Basically there are no standards for maximum brightness or effectiveness of auto dimming lights, but brighter means safer according to drivers (and to some extent EuroNCAP?) so they whack them up.
*sobs in regret*
The Nurburgring is so, so long and has its own rules around safety cars and safety procedures in general. I’m sure he’ll smash it in one weekend anyway.
That’s new to me. Thank you! I’ll
Give it a try
I’ve downloaded Halide for the iPhone, simply because it gives you the option of processing with the Apple image pipeline or their own zero impact engine. Also, trying to use an actual camera more…
This is the answer to why computational photography can be a bad thing.
It could see this as a mistake. Lower contrast, boost the shadows, even out the exposure and… ruin it.
100%. And better to be honest early than the usual no customer data accessed > some customer data, but only X > whole database taken pipeline we often see.
I disagree with the cybersecurity folk who demand full comms on exactly what happened hours after an attack. I’d rather something considered was released a week later.
(Also, imagine you’ve finally achieved your dream of racing in the NLS, and the day you do your classroom session Max walks in…)
