Is it just me or @firefox.com on iOS has been misbehaving since a couple releases ago? Increasing ads and videos auto-starting when I explicitly set “block audio/video autoplay”, and now the search bar randomly shows up in the middle of the screen.

Literally, what I wrote yesterday to a friend as he brought me up to speed on this moltbot soap opera.

More than 10y ago there was a cool company working on something like this and much more. It was called littleBits and it was awesome. Unfortunately, no longer around. Here's an insane 48h project I collaborated on, Wolverine-like claws powered by BITalino (electromyography) and littleBits.

Miss the trails but don't want to drop triathlon. Solution? Cross triathlon. Minimalist shoes are a no-go if the terrain is moderate or slippery, given the 1.5mm lugs mean NO grip. But I love the 6.5mm stack. Starting transition to 22mm & later 25mm so I can get at least 3.5mm lugs. Wish me lu k.

Tesla Service Center in Leiria, Portugal has a working space for customers. There's a filtered water tap, coffee machine, and even standing desks. Beat that!

Again, @github.com seems to somehow allow crypto spam bots to send push notifications. I don't know this org/repo and it returns a 404. From time to time I get these. Latest GitHub mobile on latest Android.

Carregar veículo eléctrico em Portugal, ou seja, na rede MobiE, é isto: pagas mais de taxas e "taxinhas" do que de electricidade. Depois, claro que a Tesla não quer fazer parte. É uma absoluta vergonha, e um exemplo crasso de como uma empresa referência nacionalizada vira tacho em menos de 10 anos.

More Pico, Azores. And this time a lucky shot during whale (well, dolphin) watching.

In Portugal, we call it Espumante. I think you should check some Portuguese options, particularly the ones from the Bairrada region. Here's one of my favorites, Solera, an extra brut by Filipa Pato. Other references are Campolargo and Vértice.

The Assault Bike is the devil of all fitness equipment. I love their treadmills though - now if only they paired with my Garmin watch 🥲

Cavaco, lagosta e lapas, tudo do Pico e apanhado horas antes de servir. Claro que não faltaram as batatas doces e o milho doce. Pairing soberbo com "A Cerca dos Frades", um Terrantez do Pico sublime. Casa do Mário, Santo Amaro 🤩🇵🇹❤️

Half our population, yet... Meanwhile, we get 8 SCs. Mobi.e strikes again.
