I don’t know if it’s AI or some transcription software issue or just human error or lack of copy editing but cyclingnews.com consistently has a lot of inexplicable seeming typos. This recent one is typical, “… as a winner of seven consecutive editions between 2015 and 2012”. Guessing there’s […]

Happy to report the newest version of DaVinci Resolve doesn't stutter during source video playback like the previous version did on my system. It's gotta be the best free video editing suite out there. I use about 0.5% of its features but it's great even for a beginner/amateur. #video

US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.

I have a lot of frustrations with the tech industry but perhaps the biggest one is that they're constantly pushing every new fad as "the inevitable future". It's always, "adopt this, buy that, or you'll be left behind." This worked in the smart phone launch era but it hasn't worked for awhile now.

Elon's dangerous software may drive you off the road. His dangerous car may then burst into flame. And his dangerous door design may trap you inside. On the plus side, your family may save on the funeral expenses as the fires sometimes burn hot enough to cremate the occupants 😬 #TeslaTakedown
