@trengriffin Grilled? 🤔 Share your recipe?

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@Nick_Craver 1. Vaguely terrified of in-person meetings now.
2. Trebuchets at 30 years? 🤔

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@petersagal Just anti-things-that-matter.

@matvelloso We’ve been trying to batch deliveries more with the “Amazon Day Delivery” but haven’t really noticed a dramatic difference in packed density though.

Maybe @philipsu can offer an inside scoop on an encore episode of “Peak Salvation”? ;-)

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@bradwilson Nod. Efficiency/watt is definitely impacted by weight. (We’re preordered for the R1S, and it’s telling how most e-SUVs are really smaller crossovers.)

Rumor has it that Rivian is working on switching to an 800v architecture to support 300kw charging, but likely not this year.

@ryan_levick Congrats! 🎊

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@JenMsft If only I could hit up arrow and immediately edit, as in Teams or Slack! ;-)

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@Nick_Craver Microsoft Whiteboard either from a Surface with pen — on a second iPad Pro with pencil. Eg, add device without audio. (The latter has become my default.)

Team is super responsive too. Be sure to send bugs to @IanMikutel. ;-)

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@davidfowl So sorry. 😢

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

When am I going to learn. Don’t look, don’t look…

(Narrator: He really shouldn’t have looked. 😤)

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@davidfowl 👍 I've had the Keylight for a while, and🥰 it. Mulling a second Keylight or Air for symmetry. Pro tip: I've found life massively improved by putting it on a smart switch + timer, if you don't have a Stream Deck.

Now I'm eyeing their webcam. #ICanQuitAnytimeReally

@migueldeicaza @matvelloso You misspelled “courage”. ;-)

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@JenMsft Thanks! I think you may have doomed my next few nights of sleep, but appreciate the recos! Added to my watchlist.

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@JenMsft Thankfully there’s only one season of Squid Game. ;-)

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@Nick_Craver @mattjeanes23 @github Congrats! 🎉

I know you’ll do well here — and consider ourselves lucky to have you! Welcome!

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@praeclarum If only the DMV supported parentheses… 🤔

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@matvelloso Or in my case:

4 - Scrubbing the mug you left sitting on your desk half filled with coffee 12 months ago. 🤢

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@windowsdev Will start working on @JenMsft. Sure she has a price, if only I can find enough cat photos to pay it...

(Is "Cat Giphys for features" covered in the next season of Standards of Business Conduct? 🤔)

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

While I’m late to the party, just installed Windows 11, and wow! 🤩 Shows what a consistent focus on experiential improvements can make in overall feel — and a large step function in usability. Hats off to the product and design teams!

[Donovan Lange @dolange]

@windowsdev Having said that -- who do I have to bribe for an updated Task Manager & Run dialog... or at least dark mode support? 😉

(Also: the Right-Click menu options on the taskbar whitespace *really* needs entry points to launch Task Manager, etc).
