It is quite nice. I like the new release. The ChatGPT stuff is a little gimmicky. I guess I thought it should open a sidebar or something rather than the entire ChatGPT site, but that's ok for a first effort. I'm still a little concerned about the energy usage, but it does seem better.

They already tried that tactic. They also ignored the order. They literally said "thanks for your opinion but no." This happened because of that "opinion." I have no doubt the corrupt right-wing fuckers that run my state will weasel out of this somehow.

Bram Stoker's Dracula. I've had it on the shelf for most of my life but for some reason, never picked it up. I was intrigued by the notion of "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" was based on a fractional part of a chapter of this book, so I decided to pick it up and read it. I was not expecting it to be as brilliant as it is. I understand a lot of classics are considered brilliant, but this book remains brilliant in how it's written and presented. It's just a joy to read.

240v dedicated taps don't come cheap. Having two 240v taps installed this morning, will cost about $1300. That's without a proprietary charger. I decided to just use standard 240v chargers for our Mach-E. It's slower than the proprietary Ford charger, but not by much.

You did not remember correctly.

This is completely incorrect. It is opt-out.

It was turned on for me by default when I opened Chrome (it had updated in the background). I had to go to settings to turn it back off.

They're doing their own version of this, not Google's. It's equally bad.

But the advertisers do see the demographics and effectiveness of their ads being served. That's a pretty good peek into browser histories, even though it's not as minute as the statement leads you to believe.

Still, it's too much.

Glad I'm not using Chrome.

I’ve never used Apple support through social media. I use their website, the support app, and messages to contact them. It was a great experience every time.

I’m surprised they stayed on Musk’s Twitter this long.

Welp, I already love it. Amazing work!
