@Viss Looks like parent Tata is pushing hard on EVs. I thought they sounded interesting years ago, but have been sleeping on them.

@Viss An electric car that looks like a cross between a Honda Fit and a Hyundai elantra, (just a little shorter than the Fit), for under $13K US!

@Viss AFAICT, Tata's not selling its own branded cars in the US, just Jaguar and Land Rover.

Maybe in a few years, according to https://www.usnews.com/news/technology/articles/2023-09-14/tata-motors-tests-export-markets-for-evs-to-roll-out-ev-only-dealerships-in-india but I'm guessing they'll go first to other countries with right-hand drive.

Regular reminder that Apple makes interacting with their products hell if you don't own an Apple device (we got a free Apple TV subscription through a promotion, but mostly it's just been infuriating to try to use).

@LinuxAndYarn@mastodon.social avatar

@pleia2 AppleTV works on our old Roku (and only that because everything else is Android/Chromecast), but since Roku has decided to slip further to the dark side with the video ad announcement, I'm not in a hurry to recommend buying one anymore.

Trump Media auditor charged by SEC with 'massive fraud,' permanently barred from public company audits

@knittingknots2

'The agency, calling BF Borgers a “sham audit mill,” said the company and its owner engaged in “deliberate and systemic failures to comply with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ... standards in its audits and reviews incorporated in more than 1,500 SEC filings from January 2021 through June 2023"'

With 1500 filings, that covers a lot of customers, not just DJT. Marketwatch says "The SEC did not name the firms whose filings had been affected"

WEEK 31: Remember the elderly lady who was shoved to the ground and arrested Wednesday night at Dartmouth?

@LinuxAndYarn@mastodon.social avatar

@fkamiah17 claims this was a condition of bail the university opposes, but it's completely ridiculous and unconscionable no matter who imposed the ban.

Not surprised Chris Sununu would send state police just on spec.

"Jeff Sharlet, a bestselling author and fellow Jewish faculty member at Dartmouth, told JTA that he spotted state riot police at the protest even though the college said it only called in local police."

@Jonathanglick @fkamiah17

Oh FFS. I got Dartmouth mixed up with Fordham. I'm sorry and will delete the Adams/Hochul references. I was just primed to shit on Adams because of all the crap the NYPD has been pulling at Columbia.

And your reminder that it's New Hampshire, thus Chris Sununu rather than Kathy Hochul, makes the surprise arrival of state police more understandable for me.

Everyone in Alaska has enjoyed a Universal Basic Income for over 40 years for just breathing in Alaska. Has it harmed them? No. Employment increased. Inflation slowed. Poverty went down. Obesity went down. Child abuse went down.

They basically used Thomas Paine's argument.

A few years ago I have created a visual overview of (mostly) Common Lisp related books... Good thing: even the older ones can be useful, given that the core language hasn't changed that much over the last years.

Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.
