In earlier drone shows, they moved the drones into position to make the image they were going for, so navigation and collision avoidance was an issue.
With 7500, it feels like they can just set up a pixel grid in the sky, never move the drones (other than adjusting for wind), then just change the colors to get the image they need.
I’m getting one of those chargers installed at home next week. The giant mushroom cloud you might see is nothing to worry about.
Dangit, copy-pasta from an unrelated comment. Fixed.
Lot of people saying they don’t give internet access to their TVs.
Fine, but that doesn’t work for cord-cutters who opted out of cable to go with streaming. And if you keep your TV away from internet but have a cable box, it will be doing all the tracking in this paper (and worse) then sending it to the cable provider.
So short of sticking with DVD/Bluray (unconnected) or over-the-air broadcast TV, there’s no way to stop from getting tracked.
The paper also lists domains where the data is being sent. You could always try blocking the destination addresses at the router level.

If you use github pages, you can create, deploy, and host static websites for free. Only cost, if you want your own URL, is for a custom DNS name.
You can use their default Jekyll static rendering engine, and create the content using Markdown. And with github actions, all you need to update the content is create markdown, then push the change to the same repo. After a few minutes, the new content shows up.
Hugo can also be used, but it takes a few extra steps: https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/
You can also find ‘themes’ to customize the look and feel of the site, specific to the site generation tool.
If you want a lot of extra features, Docusaurus is pretty much as good as it gets, and you can set it up to push out to GH pages: https://docusaurus.io/docs/deployment
I wouldn’t put any load on it until it was stained. At least two coats and a sealer.
So many $$$$$$$$$$$$$, no doubt, for a single record in a database.
Am amazed at the immense usability flaws. From the company that puts out guidelines on How Things Should Be Done.
Fan of their hardware, but I just don’t get this one.
They’re just trying to learn his dance moves.
Don’t believe in ‘retirement.’ Already have plans to transition into full-time writing.

Dreamforce has always paid San Francisco a ton of money to block off entire streets around Moscone Center. There was no way the city would allow a speck of dirt or homeless people within walking distance of the area. You drift out of the zone, though, and reality comes crashing down.
The problem with Chinese EVs is that they show it’s possible to innovate, keep prices down, and mass produce.
Ford, GM, even Tesla, are spending all their time whining about how it’s just not possible to compete. They point the finger at worker wages, instead of improving engineering and design, materials, manufacturing processes, and not chasing stock-market gains.
Stop making $70K SUVs and start making $20K Taurus and Escort EVs. You did it once. You can do it again.

Cats are majority brown, gray, orange, black, and (gasp) mixed. They’re lying immigrants, decimating the white mice of this land.
Ed is getting good at lobbing these darts at hype bubbles.
The thing that this writeup ignores is that the object isn’t to show short-term revenue, but to put all competitors out of business, be the last one standing, and create a monopoly. Either that or get bought out so the investors can move on to the next thing. But at $150B valuation, only MSFT or Nvidia can afford to buy them outright.
Google, Meta, and Amazon burned through cash for years, but they eventually outran all competition and then monetized the users who had nowhere else to go.
