That’s a good example. You’ve sold me on the hope!

Thanks for following up. I appreciate all your interest (and the links)!! I’ve put it on the back burner for now, but I hope to look at it again sometime.

Yep. Nav works just fine (though the maps are a little out of date in some areas). It’s just the date that won’t set itself anymore. The date and time display are separate from the nav screen, for what that’s worth.

I’d be out of my mind, too, if the time was off. Luckily, I can set the time. It’s just the date that’s fully auto / out of my hands.

Thank you for your input. That might be a bit beyond me at this point, but I’ll keep it in mind.

I was told it has something to do with Microsoft SYNC / GPS. There were some forum posts, too, about it but nothing that lead to a fix. I may try to update the system again in the future (it’s been several years since the last), but my understanding is that it’s not a fix on my end or one that can be done at all.

The date actually reset back to probably the earliest date it had and is continuing on from there. Fun… Lol. Again, thanks for your concern!

To add, my vehicle (2011) has its date display (as in the date & time) no longer accurate because it’s somehow integrated with the GPS, which has since stopped updating the date, and cannot be set manually. I now keep a little clock in my car that has the date on it to make up for the loss. It’s not that big of a deal compared to what others have mentioned, but it was still a shock to me when I found it.

Thanks for the update

I believe Ford has the f150 lightning, an ev version. I don’t know how it’s been doing though.

Reflecting on this incident in an interview, Justin Ryder, an obesity and diabetes researcher at Northwestern University and Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, who was one of the ejected attendees, said, “I have great concerns. Censorship in any form, but particularly at a scientific meeting of, I would, say some of the most well-known and respected people in the field, is quite disturbing.”

I had the poweeeer!

Reminded me of the Panasonic GameCube (Panasonic Q). Not a separate DVD player, but built-in. Still, interesting ideas and neat designs!

Very sweet photo. Sounds like it has a special place for you. I must ask, how did you come upon that name for your mom? 😉

Sounds like what’s happened to many of the peanut butters, turning them into “peanut butter spread” (generally characterized by less than 90% peanuts and added oils).

At least you can eat your dessert first now, if you wish!

This is just landscaping at this point 😁

Holtzman describes himself as “a philosopher and data scientist who writes about quantitative propaganda and scientistic rhetoric,” and he often does so at his science & Power newsletter. His peer-reviewed work has been published in places like the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and The American Journal of Bioethics. He had also heard the oft-repeated suggestion that the data center protest movement was led by wealthy, NIMBY folks, so he set out to investigate. He analyzed a dataset of current and proposed data center projects alongside US census data1 and has graciously offered to share the results in an exclusive here. He came to at least three stark conclusions:

1. The poorest neighborhoods resisted data centers at nearly five times the rate of the wealthiest (19.0% vs. 3.8%)

2. Recently proposed data centers that faced pushback were canceled or suspended at more than five times the rate of data centers that didn’t (28.2% vs. 5.2%).

3. Cancellation rates are highest in lower-income areas, a fact fully explained by their higher rates of pushback.

Yeah it just had me thinking. Thank you.

Reading that China is quite advanced in AI also, and if these things are related, how are they handling things like data centers over there? Or are they not related?

I’m seeing a lot of it in the comments!
