Great, now we're going to have LLM hallucinated stuff 3D printed. 😬

Ah, yes..

"In the case of software, we can see that we've entered the golden era of forced upgrades and non-backward compatibility as a service."

Layoffs and potential closures of key facilities raise worries about NOAA's future

"That NOAA contractor also told NPR that the potential closure of the Maryland weather forecasting facility is especially concerning. "Anything that is getting canceled with the weather program is a terrible idea," the contractor says. "Loss of an entire facility would hamper our ability to do our jobs, predict the weather properly, help protect people and property."

McLean says if lease terminations happen, that would be "remarkably stupid," and that a closure in Maryland could mean the agency would have trouble providing accurate forecasts that serve a wide swath of people from mariners to pilots.  McLean says the products at the College Park facility "are distributed to the weather forecast offices across the country.""

‘I’m not Elon Musk’: Winnipeg man defends Cybertruck purchase despite backlash

"...A Winnipeg man says owning a Tesla Cybertruck has led to vandalism and death threats, as trade war tensions increase between Canada and the U.S... (owner) said he had to spend several hours to remove “LOSER” graffiti on his Cybertruck, told 680 CJOB’s Connecting Winnipeg that owning the vehicle doesn’t mean he agrees with what’s happening between the U.S. and Canada.... Some people are Ford guys, some people are Dodge guys, some people are Porsche guys … I’m a Tesla guy. ..."

My current prediction is we are about to enter a US depression (not recession, a depression) combined with massive climate disasters with no federal assistance and states scrambling to mount their own recovery/response efforts. Meanwhile, the crypto grifters will siphon off the US Treasury into their own crypto coins (making them multi-billioniares). Third term President and/or South African billionaire appointed to "run" the country under some kind of manufactured national emergency.

(Note: I am not an economic or political expert, and hate politics, and I haven't had enough coffee yet).

It's interesting how they covered up these vehicles, as if they were the cadavers of humans.

@ravirockks How many "working class" voters do you think own Tesla vehicles, exactly? 🤔

Someone appears to have set a number of Tesla charging stations on fire in Littleton, Mass last night (3/2/25). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pus_mbDP4Zo #tesla

And thus, have I killed yet another SD card on a Raspberry Pi. #rpi #raspberrypi #electronics #sdcardmurderfiles

Reloaded card with latest OS
Reloaded dump1090-fa
Reloaded all the various sundry feeder scripts
Loaded log2ram in an attempt to minimize writes to card, so I don't have to keep doing this.

I MUST NOT WRITE. WRITES ARE THE SD-CARD-KILLER. WRITES ARE THE LITTLE-DEATH THAT BRINGS TOTAL CARD OBLITERATION. I WILL CACHE MY WRITES. I WILL PERMIT WRITES TO REMAIN IN MEMORY AND THROUGH ME. AND WHEN THE DATA HAS GONE PAST I WILL FLUSH THE DATA INTO THE ETHER. WHERE THE WRITES HAVE GONE THERE WILL BE NOTHING. ONLY STATIC DATA WILL REMAIN.

WGN TV: 2 killed in Woodridge after car crashes into home, bursts into flames; videos show car speeding, subsequent fire

"...Somehow, the driver of a Tesla lost control of the vehicle, went off the road, hit several trees and crashed into the side of a house.

The car then burst into flames, and firefighters subsequently removed two bodies from the smoking wreckage. ..."

Hmm, wonder how much of the US radar network will go down this week for lack of ability for buying replacement parts. 🤔 #wx #noaa

@Christian_Freiherr_von_Wolff @br00t4c Short answer: No
