  • I don’t think this is about numbers going down. Tesla stock has gone down before, without him having this reaction. I think his real problems are more personal:

    • He’s stretched himself too thin, and the stress is getting to him
    • Related to the above, his drug abuse is getting out of hand
    • He is deeply insecure, and more than anything, he wants people to think he is cool. People have made it abundantly clear that they do not think he is cool.

    So it’s not really about number going down, it’s about people explaining number going down with “everyone hates Elon Musk”.






  • There was definitely some fuckery behind the scenes in 2020 also. Everyone pulled out and endorsed Biden at the same time.

    It’s not just about finding the best candidate, it’s also about not disillusioning the voters by very obviously ratfucking the primary. Don’t piss off your voters right before a general election! Why do we even have to say this?

    They didn’t even have a good reason to do so, because Bernie would have lost anyway. Just let him lose fair and square without pissing anyone off! And I say this as a Bernie voter. He was a good influence on the candidates, but he didn’t even win Washington State last time. No way would he have won a fair primary. The protest votes would have tapered off as soon as he looked like a real contender.







  • ZigBee is already so widespread that I don’t see it going away. I’d be much more worried about your WiFi devices.

    While WiFi as a network technology certainly isn’t going anywhere, most WiFi-connected devices talk to a service on the internet. You probably created an account somewhere to manage your WiFi devices. So if the manufacturer shuts down their service, which happens all the time when they either shut down the whole business or abandon a product line, you will have no way to manage your devices.

    ZigBee will continue working as long as your hardware does, because you control the software managing it.







  • Nice!

    For others considering this, keep in mind that not all phones support external monitors, they need specific hardware for it. Pretty much all Samsung S phones support it, Pixels do not. So check if your phone supports external displays before you buy any hardware!
