So this turned up on my YouTube feed Interesting that it’s 4K, and the viewing control works with the Logitech remote on the big screen Allowing you to look down the nose of the plane Or pan around to the pilot and see the HOTAS actions during maneuvers. Interesting stuff

NPR Tiny Desk has another unknown who could really go places ...

I heard this described as the new abnormal, which I think sums it up nicely. (real) Office, has power (and internet), for now. Home, not so much. Possible power outage tonight - until thursday? yay!

When life gives you lemons, make ... BLT's

Driving around, last night I managed to find a decent signal. Same again today. In daylight, I now understand why. I think I might have found my new temporary office location

Power outage camping fridge food leftovers (extra stock to cook it through, temp control is somewhat binary) Hot food under the circumstances is not too shabby. There's even a "Kettle", for tea!

Endured more power outages, but, thankfully, without a side of u contained wildfire. Noticed that the local cell tower went dark ~4hours after the power, so that's it's battery backup gone, I guess. This morning we went looking for hot Coffee and a 4G signal with internet connectivity (not a given). I am reliably informed that in the first world nations of The East Bay, and The City, they have both and Electricity! We eventually got lucky at our local Solar Powered supermarket to the Bourgeoisie. Power, Speciality Coffee and Queues. Later got an internet connection just in time to intercept the weekly call with my mum. Which was nice. Currently parked on elevated terrain with comms to the outside world, fast charging the nerd phones from the car. Apparently this situation is on again, off again for the next week (and structurally for the next decade if PG&E are to be believed) Fun Times! EDIT: curiously , spam calls, ads and emails are still getting through!

Any good Компромат, comrade?

More power outage prepping

Pre power cut Ice Cream at a neighbors. Why run the risk of it melting because of circumstances beyond your control, when you can just eat it instead! Thanks PG&E.

Ian Hislop's Fake News - A True History A fascinating documentary on the long history of "fake news" and if there are any lessons that can be learned and applied to our current predicament. and it has made it's way to YouTube. If you can believe that.

Had a walk around a local invitational car show. A couple of @Dusty Chalk approved examples Something with H-C appropriate powwwer And because this is HC, This understated ride With a sweet, sweet 8-track

Mature perhaps. It still has more than enough grunt for the tasks at hand, and is still getting regular software updates, both for the base OS/Experience and the apps. For couch based control the remote and voice commands work well enough, and you can always pair a keyboard / trackpad if you need that for your use case. Nothing wrong with a mac mini if it meets your use cases. Interested in what edge cases it addresses that cant be met by an Apple TV these days for those in that ecosystem.
