That’s actually really cool. It would be nice if every laptop had a couple of these slots. We could call it ExpressCard!

"it's in Apple's self-interest to open the ecosystem... not because it's profitable, but because it's the right thing for all smartphone users. Apple should act sooner rather than later before the walled garden they created becomes another Maginot line."

These two maps at the same scale show you how far you can get in London and the Bay Area via transit in 90 minutes. We can do better. (R/mapporn)

This is terrible. Center-running bike lanes are the wrong solution for Valencia. They will be unsafe and bad for business. SFMTA already proposed this in 2019 and got an overwhelmingly negative reaction from riders.

The @tecnomobile Mondrian Edition phone's back panel uses polychromatic photoisomer technology to change color in sunlight (Piet Mondrian -style), and back again indoors. It happens fast. It feels like magic. 5/5

One of these is a sports utility vehicle that gets used for the daily commute, multi-day adventure travel, and hauling stuff.

Stepping on the bath mat with soaking wet feet is inconsiderate to your housemates and it makes you a bad person who can't take three seconds to rub a towel on their feet. RT if you agree, QT if you agree, fave if you agree, reply if you agree, scroll on if you agree.

Emeryville rolling out seats at 50 bus stops in months while San Francisco is still working on a 7 year plan to not have cars parked blocking bus stops
Seating and accessible stops are basic components of a transit system that works for everyone

Thanks for your quick build bus seat recommendations in March. We are moving forward with seats from simmeseat.com and aim to have them installed at roughly 50 #bus stops in Emeryville currently without seating before the end of the year. Our Public Works team is #1!

City engineer takes a long drag of a cigarette, a haunted look in his eyes.
"Yeah man, I've seen some shit. Hell, I've DONE some shit. They told me the bike path HAD to go on Bayshore. They gave me a budget of one bucket of paint and whatever I could find in the junk pile..."

There is a sign to warn drivers, at least, but I had to stop and wait for cars whipping by at 60+ mph. Never riding this path again.

I mean truly, this is a terrifying bike path.
Cars on the right are coming in off the freeway and I promise you from experience they are not obeying the freeway's speed limit, much less the road's. Plus, they are not expecting to see a bicycle on their left.

This bike path (h/t ) is still safer than the part of Bayshore Blvd just north of SFO that makes you cross traffic off ramping from the 101 at highway speeds
