Visiting the local #Apple store today to try out the #visionpro. Two young men walk in and start yanking all #iphone and #ipad off display tables.

Staff tell customers to move to back of store. Security guards take videos, but wisely don't intervene. Police show up 5m later, but they're long gone.

Staffer, shaken, comes back. Says at least the tables didn't have too much inventory because they had the same thing happen YESTERDAY!

Pic of the display tables after.

25+ years ago, I bought an orange VW pop-top camper so I could go somewhere remote and work on a project on my laptop.

It took a day to realize the battery and 110v converter plug would not work. Explored solar options, but nothing would work on a vehicle. Gave it all up.

Now, there’s an upcoming #EV #vw #idbuzz: https://www.vw.com/en/models/id-buzz.html

Long-range battery. Add satellite internet. This could well be the new, ultimate mobile office in the wilderness…
