These days I get up early enough to start dealing with contributions from Europeans. Then I can tell when Americans wake up...

...the minute some Asians start to contribute, my sleep schedule is entirely fucked.

こいつやべえ。
レンズのヤフオク出品終了品。終始一切の反応がなかった事から、見切り発車の「☀️非常に良い落札者 です。」評価から、プラマイゼロの「☁️どちらでもない 落札者です。」に変えさせてもらったんだけど、そうすると、「綺麗でカビ、クモリ等なしとありましたが、レンズ内にバルサム切れが広がっており、…」という嘘の返答をもらってる。

俺はジャンク品ならそう正直に書くわ!! レンズ内ピカピカで出品直前にも確認してるわ。
「バルサム切れが広がっており」って重症だと書いている事からも、俺の見落としじゃなくこいつの嘘だというのは明白。

自分が悪いクセにこんな報復キモすぎる。
第三者が確認できない不具合書き込み。常套手段なんだろうな。

でも第三者がこの一覧見て俺のページへのリンクないよね?
第三者が俺のページに行ける場合、名誉のために反論書き込むよ。

Some weeks life just decides to throw things at you to see if it can take you down.

A couple weeks ago, storms took out some trim on the house, so we have our handiman coming to repair that for $$$.

The new ~$375 mower purchased last fall and used for one mowing of the yard before being put in the shed for the winter? Refused to start when I went to mow the yard for the first time this past week. Another $150–200 (and 1 week) to diagnose & repair.

The phone? Its battery just decided to keel over (not a gradual thing), so it refuses to run unless it's on the charger and positioned *just so*. Another $200+ to replace that.

So now I'm waiting to see what decides to die next…the washer or dryer? Stove? Some pipe bursting?

But despite the frustrations, I'm thankful we have sufficient savings to cover them as only annoyances, not financial disasters.

Apple's "Faster Horses" Fallback Strategy

Spyglass @index@spyglass.org

Apple tends to do this thing from time to time where they seem as if they’re not listening to their user base — or worse, that they’re neglecting certain product lines. The reasons why are never nefarious as much as they’re a combination of hubris and focus. Apple has a long track record of success in not giving people “the faster horse” as it were. That is, even if that’s what they’re clamoring for, and think they want, the company thinks they can delight the user base by doing things differently and inventing around their products. At the same time, they’re doing a lot these days, and even if they could do everything for all their products, there’s a certain strength in being able to focus on what matters at any given moment in time. “A thousand nos for every yes”, as their mantra goes.

The most obvious recent example of this is the Mac Pro.1 It’s a product which has seemingly ebbed and flowed out of focus for the company over a few cycles now. At one point, they thought they could delight that user base with some design and engineering breakthroughs that led to the “trash can” version of the machine. But ultimately, what the user base wanted was the sort of “faster horses” option — the fastest Mac possible, size be damned, with the most amount of ports. So Apple eventually pivoted to that strategy. But it took a while because there were simply a dozen other things that were a higher priority for their famous focus.2
