As an Australian, Venmo is confusing because most of our banks provide payment functionality between people!

I remember long ago (before the iPhone 3) when early PDA’s devices with GPS gave horrible directions in Hawaii. Plagued with horrible processors that didn’t even try to perform while driving with any kind of light, heat and wacky roadways attached to highways with names such as “The LikeLike Highway” pronounced locally
{ Lee Keh Lee Keh } or Waimea on the island of Oahu or Waimea on the Big Island and your TomTom is frozen with a hourglass ⌛️ cuz its trying to process a drivable route from Oahu to an off road imaginary path on the sea floor… 😅
And I know what you’re thinking, just reboot… yeah No … so to avoid any inconvenience a feature ( not a bug ) of detecting a reboot fault and without prompts of re-engaging your last active route.

You'd better start shopping for Christmas now because it will be here before you know it.

[yvczojk]

Just wait until Scientology creates an app for the iPhone so you can conquer those Thetans at home .
Though I'm guessing the in app purchases are going to be quite expensive. 🤣

[opshlds]

Appreciate the coverage folks! Always makes for an informative morning when the Level1 Show drops a new episode.

[bluephreakr]

Are we allowed to call Apple Vision users "Glassholes" yet?

[GainingDespair]

How long into the future until the AI runs GPS maps, and if it says there is a road/bridge somewhere it can't be disputed?

It eventually just gets so bad the local governments must capitulate, and build said road or bridge to prevent further issues.

$100 100GB cards would be nice, but we're still at $100 for 10GB copper cards.

[nectarinetangerineorange]

you can kit out an adlink system with 128 cores, 288GB ddr5, x4 2TB gen4x4, and 2 nvidia 4090s... all for about 9000$ (with actual driver support, too!)

and it comes with a 280mm radiator...

Re 18:22. It's not US or Japan. USSR did this in 80s, though they did not beam down solar power, but beamed power up first. I think it was 100kW? Finding sources is difficult, since google wants to only show US, and it's probable I'll need to go to relevant library anyway.

Reddit is the Dominion voting systems of internet forums.

Slide-out keyboard was the shizznit, I grab my old one off the shelf every now and then and just feel the slide and tactile click of real keys :)

[robd]

Links with people I don't actually know but seem friendly to me!

[PullUps]

15:45 $100 100GbE cards won’t happen for another quarter-century.
I’ve been whining about the price of 10-Gig NICs in Level1Techs youtube comment sections since Wendell’s 2016 video on Netgear’s first consumer 10-gig switch.

[Biskawow]

13:36 hey, I just got fold4! its kewl ok

[BillPedler_wrp]

Give me my slide out keyboard ... PLEASE! LOL

[konic]

28:30 not really the same, but it sounds like demolition man where he had to ask the tablet what to say to simon phonix*

[shahboy]

Hmmmm everyone seams to forget Macs have always been expensive my first Mac Se was $2880 with printer and luggage I think it had 2MB of ram and 2 800k drives. That was with the student discount. The year was 1987.

[BBWahoo]

It's a sin that this wasn't named "Blinded by Sneed"

[amithreily]

The emergency vending machines can only work in Japan 😂
