  • If you like power wash simulator, you might also like Hard space: Shipbreaker. The gameplay is different, of course, but it's a similar general play of having a task and working at it. Just this one is in zero-G.

  • I can't stand dark mode. A lot of things that were high contrast in light mode become illegible to me. Like dark blue text on a black background. Dark blue also tends to be the default color for keywords in most programming languages.

  • One day when I was visiting home office I ran into him in the elevator. My lead introduced me to him. I blurted out, "Oh the guy who sends the I love everyone!" emails.

    He promptly started swearing and cursing our manager and saying what things he would do to him if he caught him in a dark alley and ranted for the duration of the elevator ride. Then shook my hand and said "Nice to meet you!" and went on with his day.

  • An old boss of mine would find people who left their computer logged in and would send an email to the department from it saying "I love you all so much!"

    I worked in a different office and didn't realize that's what was happening. I just thought the Russian guy was happy to be in America.

  • This is a way to get consumers to go to a subscription based system for getting features they already have on the supercomputer in their pocket.

    Other articles about GM's plan include things like "Google Maps included free for 8 years!"

    Well what happens after 8 years? What about if I sell the car? Tesla already has AutoPilot as a non-transerrable item. Even though you might have paid for it, the person you sell the car to has to pay for it again.

    "Free" to you likely just means that GM has paid Google for access, and that cost is built into the cost of the car. So it's not really free.

    OnStar costs like $30/mo and is probably required for an internet connection so you can use the "free" Google Maps. Or they'll sell you some overpriced cellular plan. Or you'll need to add your car as a separate device on your cell plan for some extra monthly fee.

    Do I have to sign in to the car's version of Google Maps?

    What if you prefer Apple Maps and have locations saved there?

    The car integration lets me use hands free to initiate streaming music. Using a Bluetooth connection for that means I might need to pick up my phone and unlock it while driving in order to be able to.

    But really they want to sell you a Sirius XM plan instead.
