@brandenflasch Too bad you have to buy it from a company run by a fascist troll, who less than a year ago you were staunchly against.

Parked in driveway -> parked at breakfast without touching the pedals or wheel once. People have no idea this is a reality you can go out and buy.

@Acyn I’m no astrophysicist, but won’t Mars also be obliterated when the sun eventually goes supernova?

Musk: And eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun. It's gradually expanding, we do at some point have to be multi-planetary civilization because Earth will be incinerated…

@DOGE @USGSA Magnetic tapes are inexpensive and very storage-dense, meaning you can store a lot of data for very little money. They are also very secure. Tapes are immutable. Once again, you have no idea what you’re talking about. There’s a reason they’ve still used after 70 years

The @USGSA IT team just saved $1M per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 yr old technology for information storage) to permanent modern digital records.

@DogLovers03 He looks just like my dog! Her name is Sookie.

It is my honor to share my current foster: Bobby. I saw him on a short list for euthanasia after he was surrendered for “a snake bite on his paw”. He may be the actual love of my life. This is our first pic together riding home for the first time. He sits on his booty because his front legs are painful to stand on, not because of a snake bite, but he was shot with a BB gun by his owners and never cared for. Despite all that he’s the world’s cutest boy and the sweetest face in Dallas. He looks like he’s about to order his own pup cup 😂🥹😭 post your pups and their silly poses!🐾❤

@brandenflasch Plenty of other car companies out there with great engineers and hard working Americans whose CEO isn’t out there throwing nazi salutes and repeating far right rhetoric every day.

It's the only way to think of Tesla positively these days unfortunately

@brandenflasch @Ford @chevrolet @Hyundai @Kia @Tesla Yeah, but then you have to give Elon money. I say this as a Tesla owner who will never buy another one as long as he's affiliated with the company. Holding out for the Rivian R2 or R3.

There are many vehicles I am considering that it is a nightmare to even get a real quote for from a dealer (@ford F150 Lightning, @chevrolet Silverado and Equinox EV, @Hyundai Ioniq 5, @Kia EV9, etc) - meanwhile, @Tesla will give you all the info on the website including tax & fees. Other mfg have similar calculators and if you try to bring those numbers into a dealer, they'll laugh at you and/or add $2k+ in BS fees and add-ons.

@brandenflasch Same here. I’m keeping my 2021 Model 3 until the R2 comes out.

I really would like to get another Tesla but I'm just not sure I can bring myself to have another Elon-representative vehicle

@Tammy If you have a ShopVac, try using that on the drain line to get the water out. If that doesn't work, it could be a bad capacitor. If that ends up being the issue (pro would need to diagnose), I'd buy a spare on Amazon so you have it for next time. They're easy to swap out.

Trying to troubleshoot this Goodman AC not working. Turned it off and on. Flipped fuse box inside and out here. Still no noise or fan spinning. Anything else I can do before calling a tech? #FloridaProblems

@o2bnobx @Tesla I was seriously considering trading in my ‘21 Model 3 for a Highland. Now I’ll probably get a RAV4 Prime, or wait and see what happens with the Rivian R2. Either way, I wont buy another Tesla as long as he’s affiliated with the company

Dear Tesla board members: I will never buy a @Tesla, solely because of their CEO. I’m their target demographic. I will buy another electric vehicle. You’re not complying with your fiduciary duty by allowing him to continue as CEO. Pass it on.

@myfriendkatye It’s like putting “Cognitive Dissonance” into ChatGPT as a photo prompt.

@crerrity Two things can be true. There are racist assholes on the internet who will hate anything that doesn’t fit their fucked up worldview, and the Acolyte also wasn’t a very good show.

💯

@TVietor08 As a lifelong Tampa resident, long time listener, and early #FriendOfThePod, I totally agree.

When I read these texts I imagine a drunk couple in an open marriage fighting on a cruise ship that just docked in Tampa

@Johnny2Cellos Only a sith deals in absolutes….

Behold the mighty imagination of the most popular Star Wars YouTuber

@brandenflasch Meant to say if you want to run PLEX, not OLED.

@brandenflasch Yeah. The 423+ has an Intel CPU and the 923+ has an AMD. The AMD is great for most things, but if you ever wanted to run OLED on it, Plex won’t do hardware transcoding on AMD processors. The Intel in the 423+ can easily transcode 4k to 1080p for watching outside the house.

Can someone that knows more about NAS than I do tell me if this is a good setup? Aiming for ~40TB archive / remote access drive while being cost-conscious.

@BobbyEParody @Nichola92184743 @klwtts Neither does Tesla… not a version that works anyway.

@Nichola92184743 @klwtts Yep just different brand that’s all. Good to have competition. Unfortunately for Rivian they don’t have fsd

Rivian’s R2 is an INCREDIBLE value! • Coming in 2026 • Starting at $45,000 (Should qualify for Fed incentives) • 5 Seats that can fold fleet for storage or Camp Mode • Single, Dual or Tri-Motor • 0-60mph in <3s • All with over 300 miles of range This might be the easiest vehicle to recommend to anyone ever! Oh and R3 is coming next!!
