• Nice! The UI doesn’t feel as polished as Boost, but that’s a great feature.

• I don’t really want to hear anything from the AI companies that isn’t from a skeptical third party news source, they’ve lied enough already.

• I wish that were purely a joke, but co-workers are unironically suggesting we deal with the avalanche of AI code by sending an AI to review it.

• And that’s not even talking about code review.

• And it doesn’t even have to make anyone more productive, it just has to convince leadership they can get by with less in the short term.

• dictates the minimum allowed bandwidth. Out of the box MeshCore operates at 62.5 kHz and Meshtastic uses 250 kHz, but the FCC says it needs to be 500 kHz or higher.

  Why is more bandwidth better? Is it spreading out the same energy = less interference potential? Usually the goal is to use the least bandwidth (and power) possible, right?

• The title is still driving one narrative by omission, and sending traffic to OpenAI. Let’s promote sources telling the whole story instead.

• Welp, how is MapQuest these days?

  Edit: Actually, looks pretty good. I didn’t know why OpenStreetMap can’t autocomplete an address to save its life, but MapQuest does fine. Also, Yelp review integration and I didn’t see obviously sponsored chains.

  

  No public transit directions apparently? Which would be a problem if it weren’t always faster to bike than take transit in Boston.

• Now, a $1,999 MacBook Pro can have a monthly payment of $38.99 over 36 months.

  $38.99 * 36 = $1403.64. That doesn’t seem right.

  Macrumors has a more detailed analysis (different device in their example):

  If you return the iPhone 17 Pro and simply move on from the Apple Upgrade program, then your total cost to own the device would be $551.88 after 12 months, plus sales tax if applicable. While that is less than paying $1,099 upfront, the catch is that you are no longer in possession of the device after your lease ends and cannot resell it or trade it in.

  Seems like it’s just designed to keep people buying new hardware regularly.
