snugon Sayonara, R35: Nissan Japan has stopped taking orders for the GT-R

I just purchased an AP2 back in July, i've taken it to the track twice already. It may not be as fast as some of the other new mid/entry level tuner/performance vehicles that have come out in the last few years, but I bet have the biggest smile on my face than anyone out there.

snugon Openhaystack: Build 'AirTags' – track Bluetooth devices via Apple's network

Yup, usually $20-30 per month is what I found. It would be cheaper to just use an old phone and use a cheap pay as you go cell service

snugon GitHub Copilot is now available for free

Of course it is, why would they give away something without trying to capitalize on it later

snugon Cybertruck's Many Recalls

> And on this metric, the Cybertruck might be wanting. “Cars with ongoing recalls well after launch suggest a much higher lifetime recall total,” says Brauer. He calculates that the Cybertruck’s six recalls to date are “worse than 91 percent” of other 2024 vehicles.

What are the other 9% of vehicles that are worse? Yeeshhh

snugon Pay for Good Tools

CleanshotX, probably the tool i've used the longest on my mac other than Alfred

Also don't forget about being able to create gifs, and scrolling capture is so great! And the screenshot saves to your clipboard, when you want to share a screenshot to slack, just go to slack and ctrl + v.

I was hoping that's what this was, sadly it's not, but defn opening the door for it in the future

snugon Show HN: Agent.exe, a cross-platform app to let 3.5 Sonnet control your machine

It seems to only work with simple task, I asked it to create some simple tables in both Rhino (Mac App) and OnShape (Chrome tab) and it just seems lost

With Rhino it sees the app open, and it says it's doing all these actions, like creating a shape, but I don't see it being done, and it will just continue on to the next action without the previous step being done. It doesn't check if the previous task was completed

With OnShape, it says it's going to create a shape, but then selects the wrong item from the menu but assumes it's using the right tool, and continues on with the actions as if it the previous action was done

snugon Remains of an ancient Greek structure found in Croatia

I'd rather them be digging up ancient artifacts quietly, than the planned loud construction that was going to be going on instead

12% chance of global EMP sounds pretty high, no?

snugon Slashing data transfer costs in AWS

AWS and GCP are giving companies like Apple huge discounts so someone could say something like, "Even Apple iCloud is in AWS and GCP because of how economical it is"

There is too much nuance to say one is better than the other. In some cases using a IaaS is more economical, in other cases it's not.

For Apple, the same is also true[0] to say "Even Apple is running their own datacenters because of how economical it is"

snugon YouTube, the jewel of the internet

As someone that only uses YTTV to watch sportss, pecifically NFL Redzone, F1, and baseball/basketball playoffs, I really enjoy YTTV interface because it always knows what I'm going to YTTV for. Very rarely do I need to click more than 2 buttons to get to the thing I'm trying to watch

snugon Wonders of Street View

Not really the same, cool none the less. A duck is a building built in the shape related to the business they are in. If the ships were their offices, then it would be a duck.

snugon Wonders of Street View

Nice! That's a good one!

snugon Wonders of Street View

I have never found one

snugon Wonders of Street View

Wow, driven by there several times, I never noticed that!

snugon Wonders of Street View

Fun fact, the home page shows a few places, these are called Ducks in architecture [0]. When I found out about Ducks, I've been pretty obsessed about them, and call them out anytime I see one. My favorite one that I found was a tooth at Mexico City Dentist [1]

snugon LastPass user vaults stolen in recent hack

That's not linked to what's local in your Chrome browser

snugon LastPass user vaults stolen in recent hack

Passwords are encrypted, you need to use your computers password to download them decrypted

snugon LastPass user vaults stolen in recent hack

Never heard that happen, if you are worried about that, do a daily, weekly, monthly export

snugon LastPass user vaults stolen in recent hack

Yes, no need to use the web, all done from the browser.

To your second question, I don't know, but thats only a concern if you export your passwords

snugon LastPass user vaults stolen in recent hack

That is only a risk for syncing, you would still still have your passwords locally saved

snugon LastPass user vaults stolen in recent hack

I've tried a lot the password safes/vaults, and none of them work nearly as well as Chrome/Googles password manager

You can even use it on iOS, and even use it by default. Even apples Keychain password manager works pretty well if you're all in on apple ecosystem. Only reason I see why you would not use it is if you're not using Chrome or Safari, which is most people.

Yeah, yeah, google evil

snugon Waymo expands its rider-only territories

Yes, I got on the trusted riders list. I usually only use ride shares to go to the airport, and sadly it doesn't go there yet, so I've only used it a few times

In SF, It's the same price as a Lyft or Uber. About $11 for a 12 minute ride
