    I really enjoyed the video!

    My goal is to be as local and owned as possible with my content I consume. I'm not there, and I have a long way to go, and I'll probably never be fully there, but one big thing I plan to do soon is get a server going with local drives as a NAS/Server machine to backup and serve the stuff I own to me. I've at least got the private VPN down so when the time comes, I won't need to be without my home network anywhere I go!

    Newsletter: Issue 86 – State power sponsored by Coinbase

    Coinbase’s sponsorship of Trump’s military parade angered some in the crypto world, who described the move as “deeply disturbing” and “an insult to everything our industry stands for”. But this is only the latest example of crypto companies aligning with state power.

    Earlier this month, the cryptocurrency firm Ripple made a $9.4 million contribution to the San Francisco Police Department to fund a surveillance center outfitted with drones. “We’re going to be covering the entire city with drones,” enthused a SFPD Captain about the donation.

    So far, all I've heard is that iFixit has noted that they feel that the conditions for drift to develop have not been resolved, not that there have been confirmed widespread instances of drift.

    Also, tangentially related: Nintendo has announced they plan on continuing their policy of free repairs for life on all Joycon/Joycon 2 controllers, so even if there was drift found, you at least don't need to worry about warranty costs.

    Apartment charging in particular is important. Younger generations are more enthusiastic about greener living, but they are least likely to be able to afford a home that they could charge at affordably.

    We need to increase charging availability and reduce vehicle costs in order to improve this sentiment.
