@pr0ud_americans Agree, and even more concerning is the lack of availability of affordable, quality replacement parts.

1994: Change brake pads on your truck in the driveway for $30.
2026: Electronic parking brake says 'DIYers not permitted.' Needs $6k dealer tool + subscription.
They call it 'security.' We call it a software lock scam to kill DIY and force you back to the dealer.
Right to Repair now. Who's with me? 🔥🚛🔧

Trump cheated in 2016.
Trump tried to cheat in 2020 and got caught.
Trump cheated again in 2024.
We MUST pass nationwide voter ID laws to stop Trump and his cohorts from cheating again in 2028. It’s time to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!! 🇺🇦🌊✊🏿💉😷

@tomwarren And just like precious Surface models, 3 years from now you won't be able to get replacement parts, and firmware updates will be spotty or non-existent. Hard pass.

Microsoft is planning Surface Laptop with an OLED display this year. It's part of a refresh of the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop line, which will also reportedly include upgraded haptics and the option of Intel or Qualcomm chips. Details 👇theverge.com/news/913218/mi…

@michaeldickson Oh, I might have to sign up for Netflix for this.

@Daniel_Rubino They don't support them. I can't get a replacement key for my wife's Surface Laptop. I had to jump through hoops to manually update the certificates in the UEFI BIOS, because they don't even provide an update for this. Never again.

💻Surface Pro and Laptop are gearing up for a new cycle (and huge challenges)
Yeah, I know, everyone is mad/bitter about Surface these days, but Surface Pro 11 is still my jam and was one of my favorite releases by them ever (thanks to the Snapdragon X Elite), so I am genuinely excited about what is coming for Surface after reading our new exclusive report.
@zacbowden's article lays out how Microsoft is preparing a two‑stage launch for the next Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, with both Intel and Snapdragon configurations.
The part that really grabbed me is the display upgrade. Microsoft is planning a new panel for the Surface Laptop that sounds like a real step forward (OLED). (1/2)

@bkheywood I found it was very affordable to sell my home and move to Tennessee.

Define "more affordable." Because Washingtonians just got a new income tax, one of the highest gas taxes in the country, rising property taxes, offensively high finger in the eye car tabs, sky high grocery costs due to the CCA, soaring energy costs, unaffordable homes due to over regulation. Which part is the affordable part?

Despite the chaos coming from Washington D.C., we're moving our state forward — making life more affordable across Washington state with the Millionaires' Tax.

@BasedMikeLee Easier to enumerate the ones that should.

How on earth can it cost $30 million and three years for the NYC government to build a grocery store in Harlem?
There are *dozens* of grocery stores for sale, all over New York City, for less than $5M.
Many are less than $1M.
This seems like a scam.
(or vanity project)

@Mt2Aguy @grumpybbee What happens: since there's no disincentive to sign up, classes fill up early, but then people lose interest and drop out. This results in popular classes that serious people weren't able to get into, but the actual class after week 2 has 5 people in it.
