@MatthewDezii @big_pedestrian The Berkeley campus literally has so much variety on it there is a building for every person's tastes. You don't have to like everything

@VladSF This person should have their license taken away for life

If you find a good drywall guy, hold him close. Watch his kids. Wash his car. Whatever it takes. Go into debt if you have to.

We had a warranty call on a mini split and had to open the wall. Yay. HVAC plus drywall and paint $1060. 🚮

@mattbaran It would be so great if these people engaged in real conversations.

There is so much to learn and understand about architecture, it’s interesting to see people completely turn off their curiosity when they can’t grasp a new subject.

We spent $600B - $1.2T in real dollars fixing Y2K. It was a huge effort!

The lack of major problems from Y2K was more a result of solid preparation than misplaced fears.

@yimbyandy Good point!!

The average new car payment is now almost $1000?!

29% of trade-ins have negative equity. Yikes

I don’t understand how people go on vacation when they have that much debt

But this is fundamentally why being upper middle class means nothing. You’re competing with everyone willing to take on endless debt for a lot of experiences and perceived status or class / quality of life

@GhostofEdie @jamesonhaslam Sign up!! I have seen them from land at Pt Reyes but the boat trip is so fun

@yimbyandy It's wild and I can't imagine buying a truck that big unless I had to do a lot of towing

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@budvandoor Might as well put it on a credit card

Here is one for @bobbyfijan

Kitchens and bathrooms in many apartments are located at the ‘back’, away from light, air and view.

This is challenged in this design by Leclercq Architects, with the en suite bathrooms and kitchens placed on the perimeter…

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.

Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.

Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.

then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.

This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Claude can no longer “Reverse Engineer Anything.”
Anthropic just quietly killed REA.

But Interesting timing.

After a few viral cases of people using Claude to reverse-engineer Samsung TV firmware and identify data-collection services, Anthropic appears to have restricted those reverse-engineering abilities.

@GhostofEdie @jamesonhaslam The whale watching trips usually do a lap around the islands, it's great

Very useful voter guide for San Francisco:

[Elai @elaifresh]

revised with DSA's full recommendation list (beyond endorsements)

missed because DSA's voter guide webpage is so long that Claude gave up lmao

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@antonia_mdprjct I get tons of them too

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@credealjunkie The precedent is moving to computers from paper

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

Only one stair!

Most psychotic floor plan I have ever seen, you would be so on edge shitting in that toilet with three doors
