Semi-Hemi-Lemmygod

See you space cowboy…

Everybody kind of slept on it but I really like AppleTV’s See. Really unfortunate name for a pretty interesting premise, and the fight scenes are brutal and very well shot.

My only problem with Delicious in Dungeon is that later episodes don’t have as much cooking. I’d love for them to get into food preservation now that they’re deeper in the dungeon and food is getting scarce. Pickling, salting, smoking, etc.

Allow me to present the most frustrating graph in the world:

One way to get Congress to act on this would be to remind them of how Robert Bork’s video rental history got released. They very quickly realized that they all had the same sleazy movies on their rental list and passed a law making it illegal to share them.

Call your Congressmen and tell them that their smart TV is sending screenshots of whatever they’re watching back to home base, including stuff that’s not streamed, and there might be swift action.

Better yet, hack Samsung and leak it to the press. That’ll definitely light a fire under them.

You don’t need a high bandwidth connection to do emergency notifications, and considering it might be in a remote area satellite would be better than LTE.

For the diagnostics you could log events internally and then collect them with OBD-II readers, though I’d like to force car makers to use open data formats so people can see for themselves what’s collected.

Since telling them that Bork’s video rentals could be made public got them the pass the VPPA, maybe telling them their TVs know all the freaky porn they watch will get them to pass a comprehensive digital privacy bill.

Though I’d have to use photosynthesis if I wanted to hold my breath.

I have a VPN so I can securely access my home network when I’m away

Totally agree. This hypothetical company could capitalize on that. The branding “Trucks for people who need trucks” writes itself.

ETA: Get Nick Offerman to be the spokesman.

Yes, most humans have trouble putting what they want into logical step-by-step instructions.

I don’t think any American politician would take on this topic.

And if they did it would be clear they didn’t have a clue what they were talking about.

The Eternal September is real

The folks at Some More News made a really great point: The truck segment is ripe for disruption. People who need trucks hate the monstrosities that truck companies are putting out. The Cybertruck, however, isn’t disrupting the market. It just looks weird. It’s just as heavy and big as other trucks.

Imagine if a company put out a small truck. Not too powerful, not too big, good sight lines and a nice, big bed. That would be disruptive.

Then again, I’m a Harbinger of Failure and listening to me is probably a bad idea. I assume people aren’t fucking idiots so maybe just build bigger and bigger trucks that are less and less useful

Usenet is still useful for… other things 🏴‍☠️

I still post on Wil Wheaton’s old phpBB forum from time to time. Nobody else does, though. :(

Frog blast the vent core!

The Supreme Court overturning the Chevron doctrine could stop that pretty quick

I don’t. Most of the people I have to deal with actually use Exchange. Either way, the question stands: How do I share my availability across systems without giving them details about my other meetings?

The first iPhone didn’t have an app store, and let people put websites on the home screen. You could add some markup to your site that would make this pretty seamless and it worked well.

Okay, now how do I get that second calendar’s availability to someone who isn’t using CalDAV so we’re not playing email ping-pong trying to find a time to meet?
