@jasperdeboer @jack I wonder if the higher price point of the device will dampen the massive demand wave that could of hit it

I got the @airthings Plus (unaffiliated, I just like the product), I think @norbertdragan recommended it I been through so many air sensors, and I really think this is the best one so I bought one for living room and then another one for bedroom, and will get another one for my coworking Why so many? Well one of the sensors I bought turned out to be a fake random number generator 😂 Another one kept phoning home to Chinese servers, kinda dodgy. Another one had values that made sense but turned out to be based on kinda estimating from other sensor values, so it didn't actually HAVE the sensor it displayed about (this is common to save money) Why the Airthings is so great: - The device is just super thoughtful and non-invasive, the screen is e-ink (I think?), no backlit, no LEDs shining at you, just black and white, it looks like a paper screen, beautiful, it knows its place! - It measures A LOT of things: AQI (PM2.5+PM10), CO2 (!), VOC, Radon (!), humidity and temperature, and it actually has sensors for all! - You don't need to pair it to WiFi, it just works by itself! (why is this great? So I remember getting that Awair sensor and I was in a hotel nomading and I couldn't even set it up cause captive hotel portal, such an Internet of Shit design to not be able to set up without WiFi) - But when you do pair it with WiFi, it easily connects to your Home Assistant and sends your sensor data to HA without any issue, that lets you automate stuff based on your air quality I love it :D

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge
You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight
You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am
I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?

@robbiehendricks Just 3rd party managing
On many of these distressed deals, if you were willing to step in at the lender's basis then you could own 10,000+ units by the end of the year. We haven't seen a lot of deals where that is a compelling position

Bank: We’re foreclosing on an apartment building in Dallas on Tuesday. Can you take over management?
Us: Yes
We’ve had this conversation 7 times in the last year. Now over 1,000 units under management from receivers and lenders

@GriftReport 28 acres of land doesn’t sound as impressive as 114,000 sq meters

Self-declared King of Switzerland Jonas Lauwiner, 31, is living his best medieval fantasy by claiming 148 scraps of "ownerless" land and building himself a 117,000 square metre empire,
the IT specialist has been quietly snapping up abandoned plots and even stretches of road that homeowners casually drive on every day using a cheeky Swiss legal loophole,
he then charges the poor sods maintenance fees or passage rights like some 21st-century toll baron who forgot it's not 1200 anymore,
local politicians are absolutely fuming and rushing to slam the loophole shut, with one councillor branding the whole thing "scandalous" and an "excessive thirst for power",
meanwhile King Jonas is posing in royal gear, running his "imperial bank" and calling it all "more than just a joke" while insisting he does it "digitally and without bloodshed",
you really couldn't make this up in one of the world's most boringly bureaucratic countries,
at this rate he'll soon own more random bits of Switzerland than the actual Swiss government,

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was seen walking into a California courthouse on Tuesday for his legal battle with Sam Altman, alleging Altman's OpenAI, which was founded as a nonprofit research lab, prioritized profits over its original mission to benefit humanity as it ballooned into a corporate enterprise.
Musk originally sued in 2024, alleging that OpenAI, Altman, and OpenAI President Greg Brockman betrayed the company's founding agreement to be altruistic stewards of a revolutionary technology that would eventually result in the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. cbsn.ws/4eP9Z8m

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink So this is using multiple (3) starlink antennas? and the article is stating the combined bandwidth across the multiple antennas for the whole aircraft?
English
Global Head of @Starlink Aviation, Nick Seitz:
"For the first time ever, Starlink is installing systems on commercial aircraft capable of 2Gbps+.
Already the leader in in-flight WiFi, we don’t rest on being the best and continue to push technology forward. The Starlink Aviation platform is the best place to deploy the future of in-flight experience, shopping, business travel, entertainment, and many yet unimagined use cases. Once you fly Starlink, nothing else is good enough."

Whoah, self-driving cars compete with airlines. I never considered that till now.

Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

@tesla PLEASE let us precondition the battery remotely. It’s probably at 12° right now and when I plug it in later it’s going to have no time to warm up

I finally found the European auction house that defeated me. Before I can create an account I have to upload two forms of government id, an image of my credit card, a utility bill, an invoice from another auction house, and a form explaining how I "built my wealth."

@clementsbrad4d @StubHub @TeamStubHub I guess the lawyers and arbitrators always win in terms of fees...
English
Why did @StubHub @TeamStubHub refuse for 10 months to refund my client $.01 of the $5,600 refund he was entitled to and then admit at the end of arbitration that he was owed all $5,600? How did it feel when the arbitrator awarded my client $35,000 and further ordered you to pay $30,000 in arbitration fees?

We have 2 converted farm buildings on our farmyard that we let out to holidaymakers. We never hit the Welsh government’s recent target of letting them out for over 182 days a year (even though they’re available all year) because we’re inland, not in the coast. They’ve just sent us a backdated premium (additional 50%) council tax bill for the last three years. It’s over £26,000.
I am seriously concerned for my husband’s mental health. We can’t pay that. We can’t sell them as they’re not suitable for permanent accommodation. We can’t rent them out as they’re not classed as permanent accommodation. What the actual fuck are we meant to do here?!!

@sydor_greg Flying the planes over 16 hours every single day in a month continuously?
English
The general rule of thumb in private aviation is 20,000 hours = useful life of an aircraft.
After that, it's not economically viable.
We're beginning to see this now with 1990's Challenger 604's and Gulfstream GIV's.
However, that number will DOUBLE with current generation models.
The US Air Force has been known to fly their new Bombardier Global 6500 over 500 hours/month. That's more than most PJs fly in a year.
Their ultra high-time aircraft has now flown over 34,000 hours. A huge testament to @Bombardier and their reliability.
