Yea. The article didn’t mention that the car has over 97,000 miles on it. The battery + electric drive train warranty ends at 100,000 miles, and the ICCU units in those cars are a ticking time bomb. I don’t think that I would pay the $14,000 asking price.

Not to say that the article is wrong about EV depreciation, but the example given isn’t great.

The one thing that they are probably confusing is that with iOS 18, Apple elected to add an “Apple Intelligence“ UI to the Siri command. So, for people who don’t follow Apple closely might assume that this is the new “Apple Intelligence” based Siri and not the same old Siri that’s been a problem for years.

Also, the tariffs don’t apply to items packed on boats by midnight eastern time. Those products have until May 27 to arrive in the US and not be taxed.

So, it’s possible Apple flew a bunch of phones over and stuffed a bunch of boats full of iPhones. Granted, they’d need a place to store them and distribute them.

I live in San Diego and follow the local public transportation scene and this is the first I’ve heard of these new cars. It’s not even featured on their news page! https://gonctd.com/about-nctd/newsroom/

I think that Lucid is pretty close to 1000v. I think they are up to 924v. I think the Rivian Charging Network only supports up to 900v, so you couldn’t charge a lucid to 100%.

New Eeros! (press.aboutamazon.com)
 

If you’ve been looking for adding WiFi 7 to your wireless network, but didn’t want to pay for the Eero Max 7, then there is some good news. Eero announced two new systems:

Eero 7 Pro - WiFi 7, 3x3 antennas and 5Gbps Ethernet ports. $300/each

Eero 7 — WiFi 7, 2x2 antennas and 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports. $170/each.

I’m still rocking the WiFi 5 “pros”. I’m tempted to upgrade, but I might be too cheap to pull the trigger right now. 🙂

Thanks for the response. It’s good to know that I didn’t break the migration. I was able to restore the background/lock screen image and will work on the rest later. 😛

 

My wife has a Pixel 7 Pro that recently broke (flashing screen. It is usable but annoying), but it had an active insurance plan on it. So, she got a replacement pixel 7 pro.

This is the first time in a long time that I got to do an Android migration. (I should mention that my phone is made by a fruit company). I was really excited to see the option to plug in a usb cable and do a transfer!

However, at the end of the transfer, I’m not really sure what the migration does? The message history and photos are moved across and she was logged onto her Google accounts, but really important details never got transferred ( like the image used for the wallpaper/lock screen, locations of the apps on the different home screens)

Is this expected behavior for a migration, or did something go wrong? If this is expected, is there a way to get that info off of the old phone and onto the new phone?

Las Vegas has a monorail but it only connects a handful of casinos on the strip. There had been proposals to connect it to Downtown Vegas and the airport, but I don’t think that there is any money set aside to make it happen.

This Chipotle blog entry describes things the best as far as I know: https://chipolo.net/en/blogs/chipolo-point-delay-and-google-find-my-device-app-update

Basically, in December, Google and Apple (and others?) came up with a standard on discovering trackers that are being used to stalk people. Because of the large iOS install base, Google has elected to wait for Apple to roll out that feature on iPhones before enabling the tracking device support on Android.
