Your point about them being overbuilt and built to last forever is spot on. Another way to repurpose these machines is to install Linux. I think people will find they are still snappy and supported.

I like Omarchy because it is so different from what I am used to but still useful. Opinions on its creator (DHH) vary, but from an O/S perspective, I enjoy it. I am sure other distros are great too.

This. It seems to light my usage of my max plan on fire. I’ve gone back to opus because I run out of usage in my five hour window so much more quickly.

I'll give ComfyUi a try. I love that idea. Thanks!

Has anyone figured out what AI tool the "Mr. Explosive" team is using to make these? I find the quality of the LEGO animation to be really good. I have made stop-motion LEGO videos in the past, and this is impressive.

Thanks for any insight.

That’s really interesting. I always thought grocers probably tied loyalty cards and credit card hashes but it’s interesting that it’s been in home improvement that long.

I’ve noticed a recent change in Walmart Scan & Go (Walmart Pay) that really illustrates how far their purchase tracking goes. If you’ve set up Walmart Pay with a credit card, and you later use that same physical card in-store, Walmart now appears to associate those transactions with your account as well.

I’m fairly confident of this because the app has started showing me in-store purchases that were not made using Walmart Pay. It suggests they’re linking transactions at the card-number level, not just through the app.

I suspect they may also be tying in-store purchases to your profile if you’ve ever placed an online order, though that part is speculation.

My issue with it has always been that I just don't think the way TDD requires.

I think in terms of building features. TDD generally requires thinking in terms of proving behavior. I still can't wrap my head around first writing a test that fails and then writing minimal code to make it pass (I know I am simplifying it).

Different strokes for different folks. I'm sure it works great for some people but not for me.

Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I have it on top and under the paint. I'll take a look at these for the uncovered portions.

I bought my 2018 Wrangler with the same idea... keep it for life. That was also the last year they offered the "lifetime" warranty. Glad I went for that.

So far, the Jeep has been fairly reliable, with my issues being:

- Electric door locks and mirrors stopped working

- Radiator leaked

- CV Joints

The Lifetime Warranty has now broken even (~$2500).

Unfortunately, now my issue is rust, and the warranty doesn't cover that.

Actually, now it's now $6. :-)

That seems unbelievablly cheap and it appears to last for 10 years. Thanks for the link.

This is so great. Thanks for the context.

What a wonderful time.

OMG, I just watched that. Amazing. I get it now, and it is supremely simple but jaw-droppingly so.

When would a show like this be on? I don't remember anything like in the States in 1985 (I was rural though).

This video is like today's YouTube.

Thanks for that! That makes sense and is very cool. In the US in the 80s we did something similar from the radio (the UK probably did too). So, I assume it was a similar principle.

Love it.
