Kia is killing it with EVs. This feels like a successor to the Niro, unless that little guy lives on as a cheaper model, but: 372-mile range, chunky good looks, seats 5. Honestly, I may wait to see this one. Coming to the US in 2025 or 2026.
In contrast, US manufacturers are sticking with overpriced EV SUVs with features like Has No CarPlay and Does Crab Walk You'll Never Actually Use.
Three years from now, when vendors are ripping their hugely expensive and utterly failed AI bullshit out of their products, their Product Owners will be laughing and shaking their heads and saying “what WERE they thinking?” And then rushing to implement the next digital panic to dogshit their products because they can’t let their competitors get a lead on the brand new dogshit.
@NotTheLBCGuy@tweedge I guess at least the silver lining to it costing so much is that they won’t pull a Google and just leaving it unmaintained for a decade before removing it after something finally breaks.
Regarding MS Recall, I've been running #timesnapper on my machines for ages and #rescuetime - I think MS needs to ask people if they want to turn it on, people are either going to really like it or want to leave no trail (and boy do we leave trails, in browser and file system w/o Recall). Other than that, this doesn't seem to warrant the drama people are tweeting.
@mistersql I think it’s coming against the backdrop of various Windows features you can’t turn off and corporate spyware on the rise. This kind of thing needs to be highly trustworthy but I think a lot of people are jumping to the end game where it’s not possible to disable in Windows 14. Those little metrics-juicing games they play cost more in trust than they generate in profits.
Can anyone recommend a decent iTerm2 replacement for macOS now that iTerm2 has jumped the shark and is pushing ChatGPT integration down my throat? (Preferably one that is (a) free and (b) doesn't require hand-editing JSON files to change the font size and typeface.)
EDIT: hint: point (b) is crucial—if I have to hand-edit a config file that's an automatic fail. Life is too short to be forced to futz around to configure a basic tool.
If you're going to use a date picker with no manual entry for birthday, don't default it to today. It's highly unlikely I use your website on the day or even the year I was born
@sdether I especially like when they have some obtrusive validation nag when you start to fill it out in the natural control order and get two warnings before you get to the year. It’s such a harsh “nobody who works on this cares” reminder.
@petrillic hey dawg, I hear you like TASKs in your RITMs in your REQs!
Bonus points: SN implemented most of their validation in the front end so if you use the API you used to constantly worry about making tickets which aren’t usable.
@jimbob My favorite is the mom at our school who parks her 3 row SUV blocking the crosswalk, walks her kid into the building, and then backs out through the crosswalk onto a busy road, just daring everyone else to get out of her way. It's like the “I'll cut you!!!” to start the morning.
They aren't wide enough, they aren't safe enough, they aren't good enough. Now that ebikes and electric motorcycles, electric scooters (two, three or four wheels), electric skateboards and monowheels are common, we need something better.
Even on a regular old acoustic bike, if you can hold 30kph you are moving far too fast for the standard, next-to-a-curb bike lane. People just don't think bikes can move that fast. But everything can, now.
@swelljoe@fasterthanlime as soon as I see that ng prefix I’m reminded of the Angular project where – again for a web form which a 1995 browser could have handled – someone noticed that something was missing after the ~2 minute load time, and the ARCHITECT asked whether it was possible for network connections to fail.
It turns out that turning each element on the page into separate network requests is bad for everything except your server vendor.
