TESLA
Musk's fundamental problem is that he's alienating Tesla's core customer base of upper middle class liberals. Trump supporters are unlikely to buy electric cars in large numbers even if Trump does an infomercial for them.
All of Musk's actions in politics, now and in the future, are going to end up further alienating and antagonizing Tesla's potential customers. Then as the value of the company falls, he lashes out more and more at this same group of people, calling them traitors and terrorists.

- Arson can be a federal crime, if it involves property used in interstate or foreign commerce, or property owned by the United States.utopian
- Lol, really? Terrorism is the use of violence (arson), for political goals (stop elon). Pretty easy case to make that the arsonists have a political goal.monNom
- Great let's see them start shipping people who keyed a Cybertruck off to Guantanemo Bay, I'm sure that will help save Tesla.yuekit

Suggest a good movie…
Really enjoyed the first half of this. Got disturbed to deal with a bunch of 'stuff' half way through watching and I'm not sure if the second half of the film is a let down or else it was just me and the interruption. Anyway...
- watched this last night. Made me think I'd rather watch a film like this over the predictable shit from Hollywood. It wasn't perfect but i loved the premiseIanbolton

Apple
Alright nerd(s):
Conundrum...
...Getting a new laptop, BUT can't decide between a (refurbished) M4 Macbook Pro (16") OR a (new) M4 Macbook Air.
The price difference is NEARLY half, AND I'm not generally using the thing for multiple 4k videos, rendering(s), etc. SOOO I think i may be able to pass on the extra power.
OR
Anyone have experience gearing down from the "Pro" world?

- I have the m2 air and it handles everything flawlessly. The only drawback is internal storage but external drives take care of that I guess._niko
- @_niko, did you grab 512GB? You cloud storage? I'm 100% Dropbox SOOO I'm unsure I need much more...ideaist
- I can literally grab a MacBook Air AND an iPad Pro for the price of a MacBook Pro!ideaist
- Also @_niko, what RAM amount?ideaist
- the air is so much nicer for travel. I have the 16 pro and I hate schlepping it aroundnb
- M3 Air does everything I need but I don't do a lot of video, mostly coding, some CS and Logic. 16GB Ram / 512GB.fadein11
- idealist, yeah on the cloud as well but if it stores some project files locally as well it can fill up fast. 8gb ram and 256GB storage_niko
- so with even those meek specs it's still insane, I can't imagine how an m4 chip with more ram and storage would perform, just nuts._niko
- Fantastic wisdom(s) dude(s).
Thank you.ideaist - I have an M3 air. My 2018 MBP screen died and I didn't have the $ to buy an MBP. The Air is great, no complaints unless you keep a ton of tabs open.mg33
- @mg33, its downfall is tabs?! Lolz.ideaist
- From a resource management perspective, Chrome and Slack are dogshit appsnb
- @nb I know Chrome is a bit blaoted/sluggish at times; what browser do you use? Fuck Slack (I work solo).
; )ideaist - I'll always reco a MacBook Pro (because awesome), but honestly, 16" is entirely too big. Heavy beast, that.
I have the M1 14" and that's plenty large enough.Continuity - Safari. There’s a reason Apple invests in a browser. Nothing can compete (on a Mac or iOS device).nb
- Safari, eh?
I'm ALWAYS avoiding Apple Software; 3rd party for calendar, tasks, mail, browser(s), etc. BUT I guess they DO know their own hardware, eh?ideaist - Yeah same. I don’t like Apple calendar, mail, reminders, Numbers, etc. I do like Apple Notes, but that’s about it.nb
- Still there’s no reason you can’t use safari and google calendar and Gmailnb
- Safari is so good on Mac and iOS. And battery life is significantly better with Safari. Like +50% longer.nb

TESLA
$1.4bn is a lot to fall through the cracks, even for Tesla
When money spent on assets doesn’t result in assetsSuch anomalies can be red flags, potentially indicative of weak internal controls. Aggressive classification of operating expenses as investment can be used to artificially boost reported profits.
- The argument is that Tesla had expenditures of $6.9B but listed assets as valued at $5.5B, about 20% less. Taxes and fees could explain the entire discrepancy.monNom
- could but also could not.... what are the chances u think?neverscared
- since he is whacking out all controls in the government i think its a fair chance he has weak internal controls.neverscared
- If this was a singular event, sure. Right now that dude is under attack from all angles. As with any gish gallop, a large portion is going to be bullshit.monNom
- https://www.wired.co…neverscared
- u get the idea.. . rightneverscared
- how large is that portion? any metric or just fabulating...neverscared
- maybe they should hire some teenagers to go through their system and figure out where the money is going and who they can fire....Nutter
- Did he say DOGE would save the country 2 trillion? It's all in good hands guys. He knows what he's doing. hahaIanbolton
- u get what u call for... since musk is all out demolition .. attacking constantly he might get a blowback... although i doubt in this case...neverscared
- when the numbers dont add up u cant blame woke woke..neverscared
- It's a clickbait headline - neatly hidden behind a paywall. They've got nothing of substance in the article.
https://archive.ph/0…monNom - so u dont get the idea... and the chances...neverscared
- Why give him the benefit of the doubt? He's a con artist. If Tesla paid $1B in taxes it would make headlines. Cmon.i_monk

First... thank you all for the kind words... I'm back up to about 85% today (annoying headache / bodyache still).
Check out what a BADASS my optometrist is (total sweetheart of a human being too - met me first thing this morning to try and help me out)... these are my glasses after my head hit my desk:
My optometrist did this magic for me in about 35 mins this morning:
- He has skills, technical skills and the ability to retain a customer ;)
Get well soon, take your time, hugs bro!!OBBTKN - Been thinking about sending you an email, but I thought it was better not to overwhelm you...OBBTKN
- I see what he did there. Glad you're recoveringstoplying
- Hope you're feeling better Pony, pretty scary. The idea of falling unconscious freaks me out that damage done by the fall could be as dangerousPhanLo
- Good God, did you wrap your face around the corner of the desk?garbage
- Holy shit dude, hope you're okay!!Projectile
- Glad its all well now. Did you get any further results for what might have caused this?Beeswax
- omggg :( just had to go dig up what I missed. glad you're doing better friend. hugs to you and your fam. <3sea_sea

Getting a shot of a projector at the weekend as my daughter is having a movie birthday.
Looked out a Samsung surround sound & dvdplayer setup I had about 15 years ago from the garage.
Hooked it up and it still works. Sound is decent but nothing not the high quality of speaker systems today and the fan inside the box makes a hell of a noise. Probably everything was noisey back then.
Slapped in a DonnieDarko DVD. Man DVD quality looks super-shite on a 55" tv.
We are so spoiled these days with 4k streaming services.
Got boxes of DVDs that I think the kids are going to enjoy going through. Their little minds are blown that a movie is on a round mirrored disc.
- https://m.youtube.co…nb
- it's just a shame those 4K streaming services rarely spew up anything as good as DDMrT
- DVD is 480p. 4k is 2160p. You can fit more than 16 dvd screens on a 4k screen. Crazy.monospaced
- DD is free on most major platforms including Amazon and Peacock. Ready when you are, and in way better quality.monospaced
