I'm going to assume they are referring to any cloud backups of said devices. Since they are stored on servers managed by not you and are unencrypted, able to be accessed for "national security reasons".

The amount of money that has been floating around since 2020 has really exasperated the demand in the Rolex market. Dealers have been playing the "exclusive" game with customers pretending like stock is limited because of the popularity of the watches and the willingness for customers to pay above MSRP in the gray market. There has been a lot of talk recently on the web that this is starting to cool and the dealers will go back to selling to whoever wants to buy one.

Not with immigration.

Amazing. All of this truly wild, impressive technology and some of the absolute best engineers in the world, just to shove more ads in people's eyeballs. Sigh.

Alright, now what about as an endocrine disruptor?

Tbh, they’re probably doing both to some extent.

This is cool. I always knew that Matrix could theoretically support anything chat related, but I had no idea that Beeper existed and a company was formed around the idea. This is actually exciting to me. It sounds stupid, but I can't wait to ditch the Apple ecosystem.

Yes good move, but you can't buy any Ford vehicles with NACS currently. Its supposed to go into effect in 2025 afaik.

I feel like the primary issue is the charging network and range. Tesla makes up for its lack of range with an extremely robust network. It doesn't seem like Ford is doing anything to reassure customers they will be able to charge their truck while on a road trip. Americans love to drive. You can get a ICE F-150 with a 35 gallon fuel tank, which will get you 500 miles of highway range. If you tell someone that the Lightning will only get 200 miles of range on the highway, generally they will find that amusing and make some sort of comment about how they don't want the government to force them to buy electric vehicles.

Peter Attia, but he is focused on things that are well studied and concentrates on the low hanging fruit, eg. mental health, diet, and exercise.

Also to be fair, IME there seems to be a lot more vocal pro-IPv6 people on the NANOG list than not.

You'll never need that much power at home. Level 2 AC 240V 30-50A is fine for overnight charging.

The way Tesla Supercharging works is by using a large bank of batteries for the heavy bursts of power draw (>100kW) during the initial periods of charging when the battery is warm and at a low percent. The batteries at the station are backfilled with less current from the grid in the background during periods of low use. At least that is how I understand it.

but yeah, maybe trucks with huge batteries may be able to take advantage of it down the road.
