The US is gripped by vibes over reason and confirmation bias over science.

Conspiracy theories are now influencing government policy at the federal and state level from vaccine denial to removing fluoride from the water.

Progress isn’t linear and it’s sad we got complacent enough to believe it was

Everyone has always been saying this for over a decade, and Apple kept winning the argument in court. Do we expect that to change now?

They are both cool, but where System76 was innovative a few years ago by leaning into Linux, Framework is where the fun Linux innovation has been for a couple of years recently. I much prefer Framework right now.

By the way, the entire world is in grave danger, by association.

Awesome. That isn’t just cute and entertaining, it is also amazing instinct. I think that would be the safest way to get across ice.

The headline is saying not to have AI note-takers, which seems stupid, because that is a brainless activity catered to AI. You are saying not to get an AI person to take your place, which is super reasonable.

I didn’t know you can CONTROL it from the USB-C port. Very interesting, I will study that.

What’s the new feature? Barrel jack / USB C power?

Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter after waking up to see his shadow on Groundhog Day Punxsutawney Phil -- perhaps the world's most famous groundhog -- saw his shadow meaning, according to legend, that we will have six more weeks of winter.

β€œUltimately, Punxsutawney Phil's β€˜predictions’ should really be taken with a grain of salt.”

You’re shitting me! Thank God for journalism.

Very true, actually I would love to not have to keep track of a printout or look at my phone. Maybe some UX/labeling hacks can be done to get rid of that.

Frankly when I am impatient / just woke up, I am that kind of people.

Certainly a step up from a bunch of triads or my hacky DIY console5 barrel adapters and power supply bible printout. I do wonder if this may draw the kind of people who will screw up and fry their stuff.

Pretty cool. Someone tweeted an apple PCB covered in 0201's recently. You ain't doing that by hand!

If I may offer the pilot constructive feedback: you really should be up a row in the pilot seat. Also, don’t have your head clipping through the aircraft roof.

No clue what you are saying folks are supposedly learning about VPNs outside of not working on TikTok.

I understand, can come up with conflicts of interest between job and hobbies. Well, we all know your name and impact, anyway. And I look forward to seeing this bad boy out in the world.

Are you going to manufacture and sell it yourself, Jeff? Lot of other people making money from your stuff!

We’re stuck with β€œthe media” unfortunately but people who do understand the business can publish articles with counterarguments.
