Holy shit looked up the temps in San Francisco and yes it’s 15C

Blender is the gold standard for what a runaway success of foss looks like. I’d love to see FreeCAD get there, but they’ll need significant investment to do so.

In Android, holding power and selecting “lockdown” locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you’re at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

TL;DR: EV bike cabs can only do 4-5 trips before they need to be charged, and if they break down they need to be sent back to the manufacturer because local mechanics can’t fix them.

One thing people forget is long distance fees. Cell phones basically did away with long distance fees, and we’re better for that. However, landlines have some notable benefits:

• self-powered, you could call in a power outage
• high fidelity, yeah it was bandpass filtered, but everything in that filter made it through
• freedom of usage, it was hard-fought but you could plug anything into your phone line, from more phones to answering machines to computer modems. There was a whole market around “dumb shit you plugged into your phone line” products

We’re still way better overall with cell phones, but something was lost to get them.
