@tesla @elonmusk also - how about an option to adjust charge draw throughout the day based on the sun’s changing elevation in the sky - this is easily calculated and would allow solar draw to be automatically maximised. And: options to pause charging when it’s raining or cloudy.

[David Braue @zyzzyvamedia]

@tesla @elonmusk feature suggestion: in the charge schedule screen, provide an option to set the ideal charge amount in kW. This would allow full 32kW charge draw during nighttime discount rates but lower 16kW draw to keep within the power available during daytime solar charging

Hey @DJIGlobal - loving the #Neo drone but it seems strangely limited at doing photo selfies. Would be great if Dronie mode could also take a series of still photos (say every x seconds or x metres) as the drone flies out and back - can you perhaps add to the next update?

@BetootaAdvocate is meant to be parody, but there is nothing but truth in this story. TBH who can blame them - this whole nuclear "policy" is parody enough already.

@jendudley Now prepare to spend Christmas Day obsessively switching between your solar app and car app to make sure you are using as much solar energy as possible but not so much that it starts pulling from the grid

[David Braue @zyzzyvamedia]

@Tesla How about features for solar - eg before commencing charge, check local weather and defer charging if it's overcast/raining (because solar won't be supplying enough power). For new EV electricity plans, add fallback to defer charging until discount period if solar unavailable

Dear ⁦@sonyaustralia⁩: You do understand this notification will make absolutely no sense to most people and isn’t really great for the brand, right? You may want to tell head office to invest in usability consultants. Oh, and extra spaces. #firstrateheadphonesthirdrateapp

@R_Chirgwin So very sorry to hear it Richard - deepest condolences in this most difficult of times.

England is a country where soccer is their national sport. Millions play it, and they inject hundreds of millions of dollars into funding it. They’re obsessed with it.

Australia puts most sports funding into other games and although lots of kids play soccer, the game has nowhere near the attention, numbers of players or relentless support here it gets in Europe.

Our #Matildas were regularly playing to just a couple of hundred people until very recently. Their pay and conditions were close to pitiful until just a few short years ago. Many of them played for boy’s teams growing up, or had to move states or even continents just to get the game time they needed to excel. They did it HARD.

And as we’ve said a few days ago, they’ve also faced extraordinary misogyny, ridicule and barriers to success, just for being female.

Yet this women’s team have made history by getting to the final four in a tournament fought by nations where soccer is the reason a lot of them get up in the morning.

The Matildas haven’t failed: they’ve won. They’ve won our hearts and minds and changed sport - especially women’s sport - in this country forever.

They should all be so proud, and we should all be so proud of them.

Now it’s our collective responsibility to force our media to value women’s sport and our governments to fund it properly. We must hold their feet to the fire on behalf of all the little girls who deserve their chance to shine.

Thank you, Tillies.

You’re the fucking best, and you did us all proud. It’s been so much fun watching you play.

Good luck in your final #FIFAWomensWorldCup match.

@jendudley I suspect we are now just posting on X. @elonmusk has destroyed a brand that is probably used in verb form more than any other brand except Google. At least he now has a way to explain to advertisers why the service has so many millions of X users.

Dear ⁦@Spotify⁩: I have never been to Japan; do not speak Japanese; and have never listened to J-pop. So why does my New Releases playlist look like this? 🤨🧐🤔

[David Braue @zyzzyvamedia]

Only if we can choose our own sounds, like ringtones for phones. I would opt for ice-cream truck music. On a related note, I for one think @elonmusk should bring back the #Tesla goat horn.
