Super dicey spot. I expect they’re watching very closely, though. The moment Musk’s presence becomes a long-term net detractor he’s done. Right now there are too many questions still unanswered - does his DOGE stuff (I can’t bring myself to call it “work”, sorry) and closeness to a not-uncorrupt administration benefit Tesla in some way? Does the Cybercab launch deliver on the hype? And does the new Model Y reclaim the spot of best-selling car in the world, making the case for the production-switchover leading to a drop in sales, or is there no way back to the top?

Money talks, and right now money is watching and listening. Jobs was fired from Apple, remember.

Eh, I know nuanced viewpoints around billionaires aren’t appreciated on the corporate web, let alone the fediverse, but I really don’t think it’s as simple as that. Why did Tesla succeed where other EV companies failed or floundered? And why did Tesla, the company behind the ultra-desirable Model S and its peers, produce the unsellable Cybertruck and fire the entire Supercharger team?

CEOs set the direction and drive the company to deliver on that. And Musk has lost it - from 95% genius and 5% mad to 95% and 5% genius. I honestly feel sorry for him in many ways - which I fully appreciate is a lot easier to say as a non-American right now! He will probably never again know true love or be considered an inspiration to the smart people he seems drawn to. He’s thrown his lot in with a bunch of bastards who would gladly tear down everything he’s built up. I am 100% confident that I will live a happier and more fulfilling life than him, as poor and stressed as I am. Poor sod.

As the edgelord he is, I hope he’ll appreciate his inevitable future epitaph: “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

The engineers at Tesla have built some amazing stuff, but the CEO who drove them forward for so long has been holding them back for a while now. Time for Musk to go.

Amazon will be delighted to keep the money. Spend the vouchers and donate the stuff you buy to charity if you want, but don’t let Amazon keep 100% margin unused gift cards!

Scott-free? Yes, that’s what Hadrian’s wall was for…

Great points - I’ve been thinking the same thing for YEARS now!

I must confess to having a sweet spot for a good toffee hammer.

Thank you for sharing. Hopefully a good sign of things to come!

In the U.K. there’s Fentiman’s for soft drinks.

I don’t drink fizzy drinks but my wife does. I’ll keep my eyes open for Fritz Cola for her!

This leads to a modified version of the uncertainty principle: either you have a banana and can know the size of something or you have positrons and are unable to measure size.

I know just the man for the job…

Yep, that’s the problem 😭 If Apple just finished their driver then it would work.

I suspect they’re protecting Thunderbolt hub manufacturers and DisplayLink, as Apple don’t sell a daisy-chainable Thunderbolt monitor or their own hub/docking station so I can’t see any other reason not to just implement it.

That’s your nervous system telling you that’s it proud of you.

I suspect that this is a feature, or at least a partner-related market decision, rather than a bug, and I suspect the most you’ll be able to say is “the weather is nice today” or “thank you for sharing this”, buuuut…

DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253432530?sortBy=rank

With a full implementation of DisplayPort 1.2 MST it should be possible to output to two independent (non-mirrored) monitors over a single USB-C port. This can be via an MST hub/dongle or using monitors that support DisplayPort MST daisy chaining. This is a core part of the spec to the point that my Steam Deck supports this.

macOS, however, will treat MST displays as targets for mirroring instead of separate displays. The only way to have an elegant “one wire” experience with a MacBook is to use a much more expensive Thunderbolt dock or a dock that uses a DisplayLink chipset which requires a driver to be installed (as DisplayLink are a company unrelated to DisplayPort).

It’s worth noting that macOS does support MST in the form of two video streams for one very high-resolution monitor, which is kind of interesting.

I’d love it if we could use MST docks/hubs/splitters with macOS rather than either needing expensive third-party peripherals or plugging multiple wires into our MacBooks. Especially because most office setups I’ve seen recently use MST hubs if they offer dual monitors!

Thanks for reading this far, and more importantly thank you for soliciting feedback in this forum and manner. Best of luck!

I try to buy my Mum interesting books for her birthday and Christmas and she always wonders how I find such gems so consistently. My secret - it’s comments like this on Lemmy or the other place, back before the great migration. So thank you - this is going straight on the list! She’ll love it 😊
