Thanks to Steve Jobs and Gorilla Glass, factories in America are now ramping up to make affordable windows, made from panes thinner than a credit card, that can:

* save Americans $25 billion / year

* withstand a 2x4 shot out of a cannon

It's a $599 iPhone with a 60 Hz screen, which I don't care about but you might. (The lack of AOD stings more.)

A bigger bummer is that 16E replaces the SE as the most affordable in the lineup – even though it's larger (6.1" vs 4.7") and $120 more. The truly tiny, truly cheap iPhone is gone.

This thread I wrote in September 2024

But given the east-west divide in the Bundestag election results, perhaps it's worth re-visiting

Attached: 1 image There has been a lot of understandable anguish about the election results in the German Länder Thüringen and Sachsen on Sunday. Thüringen I know less well, but I have been to Sachsen (and Brandenburg that holds elections later in September) a LOT in the past two years during my #CrossBorderRail project. What strikes me overwhelmingly is NOT that these places are swamped with immigrants, as per the AfD rhetoric, but they are absent of life, lacking vibrancy.

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €. Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day. Leadership.
Always anchor your TVs and furniture to the wall.
I love how Paint 3D, a program I never installed, somehow got onto my computer and associated itself with every 3D file format; and so if I ever double click a 3D file it launches Paint 3D, pops up a dialog saying Paint 3D doesn't support that file format, and then when I close that dialog opens a second dialog saying Paint 3D was discontinued in November 2024

Well this looks right in the wheelhouse for @molly0xfff

( I should also really be following more #wikipedian folk on fedi btw)

My name is Martha. I am a Colorado based nature photographer and co-founder of Outdoor Photo Alliance. I am one who does not stick to one genre of photography. I like grand landscapes, small scenes, macro, wildlife, abstract and night photography. If there is something new to try, I’ll try it.
I believe mixing it up allows for more creativity.

TIL about https://www.batteryholders.org/ — "the comprehensive battery holder and battery contact information center" — and it really does seem to be exactly that. Need dimensions for a weird battery, or details of how to mount it in your project. It's likely in there
