Western airlines became Southwest, which is why all their flight numbers are prefixed with WN
The rumor I’ve heard is that if they break just right you can smoke certain substances out of them. No idea if it’s actually true.
After updating and verifying the new Tesla app version, I’m not seeing the new automations in the Shortcuts app — I’ve restarted both apps. Has anyone else gotten this working yet?
Kind funny that the big FAANG corps are the ones pushing people back into offices the hardest, and are also the ones who own their office real estate
On Tuesday, Seattle’s city council passed legisation that would protect gig workers from being suddenly kicked off apps like Instacart or DoorDash. It’s the first gig worker protection measure of its kind in the entire country.

Dang, loved Triple Trouble on the game gear, played the first few stages of this and I’m pretty impressed.
Small files don’t impact BitTorrent transfers. They’re sent in pieces of a fixed size, and those pieces can contain multiple files.
The Gravis Gamepad was the gamepad at the time. It wasn’t a great gamepad, but it was what we had.
IIRC the federal money for chargers at least sets a minimum reliability standard, which is a good first step. Hopefully states will follow through as well.
Kentucky is requiring that electric vehicle charging companies include Tesla's plug if they want to be part of a state program to electrify highways using federal dollars, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.
San Francisco, July 3 (Reuters) - Kentucky is requiring that electric vehicle charging companies include Tesla's plug if they want to be part of a state program to electrify highways using federal dollars, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.
Kentucky's plan went into effect on Friday, making it the first state to mandate Tesla's charging technology, although Texas and Washington states previously shared such plans with Reuters.
In addition to federal requirements for the rival Combined Charging System (CCS), Kentucky mandates Tesla's plug, called the North American Charging Standard (NACS), at charging stations, according to Kentucky's request for proposal (RFP) for the state's EV charging program on Friday.
"Each port must be equipped with an SAE CCS 1 connector. Each port shall also be capable of connecting to and charging vehicles equipped with charging ports compliant with the North American Charging Standard (NACS)," the documents say.
Tesla, the dominant EV maker in the United States, has scored a string of victories for its charging technology in recent weeks, starting with Ford Motor F.N, saying it would adopt NACS.
But a group of EV charger makers and operators is pushing back against Texas' plan to mandate the inclusion of Tesla technology in charging stations, saying it is "premature," according to a document seen by Reuters.
"Time is needed to properly standardize, test, and certify the safety and interoperability of Tesla connectors across the industry," they said in a letter to the Texas Transportation Commission.
The U.S. Department of Transportation earlier this year said that charging companies must provide CCS plugs to be eligible for federal funding to deploy 500,000 EV chargers by 2030.
It added that the rule allows charging stations to have other connectors, as long as they support CCS, a national standard.
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (NEVI) provides $5 billion to states.
Network aside, it’s a far nicer connector to use than ccs1.
I’ve noticed the same thing. Maybe experiment with stopping it before putting the car into park, as it switches to the easy entry profile. I haven’t found a 100% fix. It occurs to me that I always hear it from outside the car when I use summon mode, I wonder if that might be when it gets restarted.
The transition from the CCS1 to the Tesla's NACS charging connector is expected to kill the SAE J1772 (AC) plug, because NACS can be used for both AC and DC.
