Hey @apple. iOS offline podcasts: I download some because I want to listen to them off the grid. But it turns out you have to START them (just a couple of seconds) while online. If I don’t do this then my device complains I’m not connected and they won’t work. Please fix!!

@la_dorkout @Tusk_4Real Totally agree. Money well spent on YouTube Premium. I learn a lot from YT.

@Tusk_4Real Do it. No joke, but the $13 or so I pay every month for Premium YT is one of the best investments I ever made. I too watch videos a lot for research or entertainment, maybe a video pod or two, plus I use YT music as my music app -- no ads, saving hours of time.

I'm about to fuck around and start paying for YouTube Premium It's getting ridiculous the fucking ads I watch more YouTube than TV, movies, or streaming services 4x the ads

Oh @carbonite you’ve succumbed to the great move towards collective enshitification. Now there’s nowhere to connect with a real person on your website. Been a customer for many years. I have a simple request. Thx

@buitengebieden Can’t get mine to smile like that!

Welcome home.. 😅

@pylonofthonth here’s one for you, Downey, Southern California

@fredlambert “Clutch”? I think you mean “crutch”. I for one enjoy your weekly podcast. I hope you’ll give us lots of Canadian perspective in the upcoming months. Elbows Up!

Elon has dug himself into a hole here. He has long poo-pooed lidar sensors, calling them a "clutch". In text messages with Electrek back in 2021, when Tesla was transitioning to vision only and Elon was still talking to us, he admitted that "high resolution radar plus vision is safer than vision." He just couldn't find a good enough high-res radar, but that's basically a lidar sensor albeit using light rather than radio waves. It feels like he is holding Tesla back here while many automakers are now adding cheap lidar sensors to their vehicles.

@engineers_feed Also, buy a replacement capacitor for the current one that will inevitably fail on the hottest day of the year. It’s the #1 thing that fails and is easy to swap out.

Life tip: go clean your air conditioner.

@Ro82607Michael @engineers_feed Agreed. And I challenge the CEO of any healthcare company to explain *Even the simplest* Explanation of Benefits numbers…

What's something you don't understand even when it's explained a million times?

Hey @kcrw “surpassing triple digits” would mean 4 digits. I know that’s not what you mean…

@Hilbe LA Zoo then take a hike in Griffith Park

Always Be Charging (ABC) Anyone else find it a game or take it as a challenge to find free charging when in public? I have a friend that likes to go to the public library since it has free charging stations. What's your secret place to get free juice? Pro Tip: Check @plugshare before going somewhere!

@itskyleconner @MotorTrend That’s in a very remote spot. If you have time try the Musical Road in Lancaster

Good morning from the Mojave desert ☀️ I’ll be at Honda Proving Grounds for the next week testing and evaluating a bunch of new or significantly updated SUVs Excited to be one of the few judges for @MotorTrend SUV of the Year Will be filming the process, the cars, and more from my side.

If you have a favorite photo of a pet that you didn’t shoot in the face in a gravel pit, please share it here. I’ll start. ❤️

Hi @MayorOfLA I’ve been walking the closed section of Mulholland every Sunday since Feb. Of the 4 slides 2 smaller ones are done. 2 larger ones just need filling but seem to have stalled. Loads of expensive rented plant lying around which I hope you’re not paying for by the day.

@LADWP I have been signed up for years. It’s a good start but it’s only marginally useful knowing “portions” of my neighborhood have lost power. I hope you’ll refine this to include a link that might show the actual geographic area affected one day.

@Conqueroo1 @latimes Agreed on it being all about the host being hot!

@bradjc5 @99piorg Doing the same. Just reading the introduction feels like a firehose of information. Trying to force myself to do 10 pages every day. @99piorg when is your first episode on this coming out? Need to be sure to keep up!

Joining the @99piorg 2024 book club. Just started The Power Broker. Even the first 21 pages are unbelievable.

⁦@RateYourCharge⁩ Buttonwillow, CA. Location has moved I think. Now in a remote spot with 1 Portapotty and no food. Several stalls look to be broken. 3/10. App admits “no amenities” at this location

⁦@RateYourCharge⁩ San Ardo, CA. Unusual location at an Olive Farm on highway 101. Food options: 5 types of Olive Oil and a Coke machine. Restroom with code on Tesla App. 9/10

@JustMacaluso @RateYourCharge On the map in a Tesla at a supercharger it typically shows a number in a red circle for how many stalls are available in real time. If things are really bad it turns into a black clock indicating you may have to wait.

@spannertech @RateYourCharge I probably just need to learn the cars navigation better but when it auto-routes you to a supercharger where do you even see how many stalls should be available?

⁦@RateYourCharge⁩ Lost Hills, CA. Good charge but navigation seemed stuck indicating 12 stalls available when really it was 1 when we arrived. Busy spot

@peets what kind of fresh hell is this? This design of cup led to instant burnt upper lip for me. Did anyone ever test it on real people? [Scott’s Valley, CA Peet’s coffee location today]
