Hi everyone,
I’m back on here after a hiatus. I’m an engineer who likes to cycle, tinker, work on robotics, machining, make things, and solve problems. I also like to talk about cutting edge science.

My guess is someone on their sales team wined and dined the administration heads enough to ignore the screams of IT and all common sense dictating not to switch to Larry Ellison’s personal toilet.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.
It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

I’m looking forward to the day all the atrocities of today are prosecuted in international court and our version of the Nuremberg trials. The concentration camps, the massive child sex tracking ring perpetrated and covered up by the most powerful billionaires, all perpetrators must be prosecuted.

Gallup and its chair, Jim Clifton, have long postured as non-partisan, but this move is a distinctly partisan in this environment.

The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.

The damn water jets don’t do shit and take forever to get the temperature right. The wax removers also don’t dislodge it enough. It’s also mechanically incorrect to claim even specialized tools specifically designed to scoop earwax out “only push it back. What actually works then?

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Tesla is quoting $290,000 for its 500-miles electric semi truck
When Tesla first unveiled the Semi back in 2017, the company advertised a starting price of $150,000 for the 300-mile range version and $180,000 for the 500-mile variant.
Both versions ... are “designed for autonomy.”

Doesn’t such a general percentage like that ignore critical environmental factors especially in the places they’re building these data centers like Arizona, Nevada, etc where water is limited, it’s hotter, and harder to cool, electrical grids are limited. A general percentage ignores that.
