Unless they come right back with a comparable implementation with a maverick/ranger type form factor, Ford is absolutely shot itself in the foot canceling the lightning. I’ve been Evie only for five years and have driven both the electric Silverado and the lightning. I bought the lightning. It’s fantastic. They are absolute idiots for discontinuing it.

What's wrong with Linux for firewalls? Either openwrt, or any distro really.
Why would any BSD perform better?
(edit: genuinely curious why BSDs are such popular firewalls)
PF is really nice. (Source: me. Cissp and a couple decades of professional experience with open source and proprietary firewalls).
And if they are already using it on openbsd, it’s almost certainly an easier lift to move from one BSD PF implementation to another versus migrating everything to Linux and iptables.
The main downside to many mobile web sites is the desperate plea to use the app you have to dismiss every time. I feel sorry for the devs who build a great mobile version only to be forced to put a stupid "$SITE is better in the app" banner on it.
There’s also companies which seemed to break their Web experience specifically to drive people into the app. Credit Karma hasn’t worked on a browser on mobile or desktop for me in years. But the app version always works.
I guess it’s my fault for trying to use an Intuit product to begin with when I already know they’re evil.
The US has been consistently signalling that it is considering annexing us since Donald Trump was re-elected in November of last year... the politicians are unlikely to say it outright but I think this is pretty clearly aimed at the US and making it too costly to do so.
Canada would be insane to not beef up its military at this point. Mexico should, too.
I don’t understand how the Tesla fanboys don’t realize how badly he’s torched his consumer base with his politics…
I was all in on Tesla in 2019. Solar, powerwalls, model 3.
Traded the car in a couple months ago. It was ok, as a car, but I hated what it had become synonymous with so it was worth the financial hit to give up a paid off car. Turns out the new Mach-e which replaced it is better in every way.
Might be some fanboys left, but a bunch of folks who might have fallen into that category in the past have been driven away by Musk’s unconscionable activities.

My big question about DPC is: what about people who just don't think about primary care until they have something wrong? How long is the wait list at that point? Or can they go see a doctor for $X as a one-off, without a subscription?
If someone was hung up on only paying when they need care, the business model needs to support that would probably look a lot like an emergency room or urgent care facility.
For me, I consider it an astonishingly good value paying $1200 a year even when probably nine months out of the year I don’t even talk to them. Being a healthy dude I get proactive tests done twice a year to keep tabs on a couple dozen different metrics ($150 each round, all in) and inform any needed course corrections over time (early insight- vitamin d was low (previous insurance-based provider refused to order test). Later insight- eating trash and five drinks a day for 7 days at a vacation resort made basically every metric go to absolute shit; subsequently did an early test after a month of clean diet and regular exercise showed tremendous improvement across the board). And then when something random comes up I know they’re there for me.
If it sounds like the sort of thing, you might be into find a couple local providers and just have a conversation with them. I’ve yet to speak to a DPC provider that isn’t excited about the model and delighted to communicate its value to prospective customers.
It’s as close to concierge healthcare as I’ll ever able to afford and I absolutely adore that it removes the parasitic insurance from my primary care loop.

Direct primary care was a completely game-changing improvement in healthcare for me.
$95/mo to basically subscribe to a local doctor. Covers most things other than tests or surgery or limb setting. But tests are often very discounted relative to what insurance charges for them (with my previous dpc provider an entire battery of tests cost less through them than just the copay for two of them added up to).
It’s remarkable how different it is when the healthcare provider is focused on you and your health rather than on gaming the metrics by which insurance companies judge them.
Make other plans for catastrophic things (ie, a high deductible insurance plan).
This guarantees I'll never buy a Samsung appliance. If they're this willing to screw with their customers today, they'll do it again tomorrow.
Sadly, I'm including their TVs in this. I have one today, displaying the output of an Apple TV and not directly connected to the Internet because hah, no way, but I'll be shopping around when it comes time to replace it.
Pity. They make nice stuff. Not nice enough that I'm willing to tolerate their anti-customer shenanigans, but otherwise decent quality.
Agreed. Showing ads on TVs is beyond the pale.
(Sorry, I just had to. In fact, thoug, I would be furious if my tv injected ads onto my source material)
Perhaps we just missed a tweet where Elon announced 4.3 BSD for ARM64.
Indeed- comment was intended to be on the openbsd release announcement. No idea how it ended up on this one.
Meanwhile there's a flagged to death comment about policing the border and illegal immigrants. Oh yeah, the 2 year old "illegal immigrant", he's out to take your job!
