Super cool work! Stuff like this can be forgotten so easily.

One of my favorite parts of living in SF were these dumb billboards. They're so bad - though this one is a bit more dystopian than most.

My new name/pronouns felt really foreign to me for a long time honestly. I used they/them for a while until i felt "femme enough" for she/her (whatever that means) and these days i'm they/she.

It just took some time for that to go away. Other people gendering you properly can help reinforce that it's correct.

Love the new name! Can't wait to see development continue and the app get even better.

I’ve had some general weirdness with the keyboard in iOS 17 beta, so it wouldn’t surprise me if some of it is that.

The original intention was for there to be a second, wireless compute device. Jony Ive ended up vetoing that before he left Apple. I would’ve loved to see what the headset would’ve been in that form.

Some of it is that a 12v failure is much more of a pain in an EV, since you need low-voltage to trigger the high-voltage battery contactors in order to recharge the low-voltage battery. Many people don't know this, and then panic when their car appears very broken. Some non-Tesla EVs will throw downright bizarre errors and lights at you in this condition.

I'm optimistic we'll all learn about EVs and their common failure modes like we have with ICE vehicles over time.

Ah yes, the completely unique to Tesla problem of checks notes a dead 12v battery and an owner who doesn't know how or care to service their vehicle.

Either way you're replacing the 12v battery before you're driving anywhere, Tesla or otherwise. Having a manual lock may be nicer for easier access under the hood in this case, but that's really it. Other automakers EVs also have issues with their 12v systems dying and bricking the cars until replaced, Hyundai's come to mind specifically. Newer Teslas have a lithium-ion low voltage battery (it's like 15v or something i think?) that shouldn't fail for the life of the car, so this is a non-issue.

If he ever read the manual for the car (no one ever does! they should!) he’d know you can remove the tow hook cover and connect a battery to the wires to open the frunk, then replace the 12v battery yourself if you’d like. Or if that’s too complicated, have it towed to a service center or mobile service fix it for you.

It’s just a car! Fix it yourself or take it to service! Why is this news?
