Yeah you get charged $0.35 to use the app or spend two minutes trying to get the meter to let you pay for parking for no fee. I think the fee will get a lawsuit in the future.

I use Basic Memory across Claude and Codex. I changed my projects instructions to reference it when I switch to it. Works pretty good.

With macOS 27, I don't know who Apple is trying to outdo?. 27 has been a total disaster for me and my setup at home.

Back when there was a little more rivalry between Microsoft and Apple, Apple would come up with these really cool things to showcase the operating system and make lives easier. Now, I don't know what it is they're trying to prove with this operating system. I also hate the fact that they skinned the whole operating system around a failed hardware product.

I always wait until the new year before I upgrade, I guess this is why I don't seem to have any major problems with it.

I think they're trying to be even shittier than Microslop.

I think the strategy is to buy houses and never hotels. Hotels free up the housing supply. If you buy all the housing supply and never use hotels, you've cut off the only method of earning a lot more money for other players.

"the U.S. is an unreliable security and technology partner willing to throw any partner under the bus, at any time, for any reason."

This isn't new. The US has been doing this for decades.

Indeed. Ukrainians should have talked to the Kurds before relying on the US

“It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”

Just a reminder. You can buy a kiosk TV from major TV manufacturers. You just have to look a little. Kiosk TVs are intended for lobby signage or conference rooms. You pay a little more but the garbage UI and always on piece is gone. You get 4 HDMI with them too (from what I've used).

I remember reading that Disney was running XP on Toy Story Mania at Disneyland for the ride itself. When you stand in line near the loading point you can see the computer screen where the operator monitors everything. Not critical or DOS but comical it's doing a basic control of the ride.

Can't stand the UI. I've turned off transparency. I've zoomed in a bit. I heavily use the swipe down search on the Home Screen and it's obnoxious now.

I don't understand why Apple went towards unifying the UI around a failed product (Vision Pro).

I guess they didn’t know the Vision Pro would fail when they made the switch. Now, they’ve made the second ugliest iOS ever. So, they are on a recovering trend, but of course they’ve got pretty far to go.

The ACR stuff was turned on by default for mine. They are straight up lying.

Bad parenting wins again while everyone else suffers.
