I would not have able to resist naming it “Qua8ke”. 😆 Crazy what’s possible now…

...and for the foreseeable future they just secured a steady stream of the best and brightest engineering talent wanting to go work for Tesla/SpaceX.

I thought the AirPod Pro 3 hearing test was full of crap so I mic’d one up to my audio spectrum analyzer. Alas, it was not the headphones that were broken. 😅🤷♂️Both ears, hard cutoff right about ~14KHz as well. We’re old.

Wait… “at least 2500kWh” per *year*? [checks power bill] 😅

I have to stick up for Synology… I have three DS18xx units going back ~14 years. All still work and I’ve spent a grand total of zero minutes having to mess with *anything*. They’re quiet and just plug along— and they fit on a shallow shelf vs. needing a full depth rack like my old HP and Supermicro servers. 🤷♂️
More recent home models (like the DS1825+) support up to 200TB volumes— if I recall correctly. You need to step up to the enterprise gear for up to 1PB volumes.

$10M would build about 1/5th of an elementary school in the US— if the land, permitting, and engineering was all free. 🤷♂️

Giant, curved, almost vertical windshield… Pretty sure these were designed by the Replacement Auto Glass lobby.

CosmicToadlet sends its condolences! Were those Fuse1 or 1+?

Me, looking at HDD prices : "Don't worry she'll hold together... Hear me, baby? Hold together."

We already had ‘Münchausen syndrome by proxy’— guess we can add ‘Moral Outrage by proxy’? 🤔

Looks more like a Genesis/Megadrive title than SMS-- most impressive!

I’ve always wondered what the actual tuning procedure was like on those. Seems like a lot of balloons to squeeze at once…

Bear in mind when talking to Americans that we’re taught early on that the American Revolution started from a ~6% British tax on tea. We’re not a fan of taxes. 😆 The 50k exemption also sounds laughably low here. The state where I live is trying to get people to support a new *income* tax (not even a wealth tax) and the exemption is on the first $1M USD— annually— just to try to win people over. 😅
