To be clear, replaceable battery doesn't mean a lid like phones used to have. It means that you should be able to take the device apart with simple tools and remove the battery and pop in another one.

It actually probably affects other phone companies more than it affects Apple, as some of the others have very poor repairability

So long Tim Apple

> In contrast, EU/Russia and EU/US relationships actually make more sense, because both partners have mutual self-interest to maintain a relationship.

Would love to know how you can defend the claim that the EU and China are fundamentally not aligned, unlike the EU Russia and EU US.

Russia is at war with a country that wants to join the EU. The US almost invaded EU territory at the start of this year and threatened to leave NATO. China and the EU have done nothing but sign trade agreements throughout all that time

I would also ask why is a rocket company buying a VSCode fork? Why not grok or xAI or x or Tesla or any of his other companies?

X is a subsidiary of xAI (responsible for Grok) is a subsidiary of SpaceX.

Tesla is the only major Elon business that’s independent of SpaceX at this point

That's such a weird structure

When you think of them as bailouts it makes more sense.

Well, that’s the order they acquired each other at least. I have no knowledge on the actual reporting/corporate structure.

xAI would have at least made sense

Luce is already a word in English, if a little obscure

Gemma4 on an m2? That sounds promising. I have an m3 max, going to try that today

Just yesterday it thought for 591 seconds for me, which is ten minutes. There have been times this week when it ran longer and I assumed it was just bust and stopped it

Fictional novels? Did it have to write them first?

No, I wrote them myself (training my wetware to write more as I get older).

I was using claude to create a codex of characters/lore/etc. I also had it auto-build a website promoting the books.

Love to see it if you're up for sharing

Java is great and all but if you don't use it with the right kind of keyboard you're wasting your time.

I use one of those very loud clacky ones with brightly colored keys and that makes me a better person

Joke's on you, I use Java as Clojure with a clacky split keyboard, feels great.

Oh yeah? Well my clacky split keyboard has red lights in it. That means I type faster because science says red light improves bloodflow.

Something like the robot from interstellar is probably more likely.

All the drone warfare developments remind me of the introduction of tanks during the first world war and perfected by the second world war. In the space of a few years they changed warfare. Then planes changed warfare again. Now drones. Makes you wonder what the next thing will be
