  • it's been a long time but i vaguely remember an office tray icon or desktop toolbar or something that could run all the time.

    nowadays, windows caching and prefetch should be more than enough.. and that's not even considering the fast ssd we have now, either.

  • cat: "...so, i just moved in. still working on getting settled. as you remember from my last video, picking a new home was not an easy task, but i finally found it. the holy grail. great views. good sun. no annoying dogs to steal the staff's attention. oh, right. the staff. guys. meet my new food getter, seat warmer and pillow fluffer, iain. seems to be an alright bloke, so i'm giving him a shot..."

  • he's a minority owner, don't think he himself even holds a majority of voting shares outright--there's some bullshit and shenanigans going on that gives him the 'control'. iirc, it requires near-90% approval of all non-musk held voting shares to make 'major' changes like ousting a board member or ceo. that's why he's still 'in charge'
