As a current web developer I'm with you except for the tables. I hate tables with a burning, fiery passion.

I do like responsive design to account for mobile, tablet, and desktop so I try to blend that with classic "just works / just here for the data" layouts and generally minimize the flash in favor of the content. In other words, my projects go to a lot of work to look that simple lol.

No one seems to know exactly what "modern" means when it comes to "modern design". If you ask ten different developers, you get 11 different answers.

My rule of thumb when I see "modern design" touted as a feature is that the developer chose form over function at every turn.

Yep, that's the one.

I'll reserve a phone but not a truck, lol. Looks like those are scheduled to be out late 2026, so probably at least next year before I can even think about getting my hands on one.

At least it's still a thing.

I used to drive a 2004 Ranger and loved it. Would absolutely love an EV version even if the range isn't super great. Mostly need a truck occasionally and for hauling stuff from the home improvement store or if I find furniture at a garage sale or something.

Need to check and see if that $20,000 no-frills EV truck is making any progress.

And the auto-submitting TOTP entry form where you're apparently not allowed to make a typo. And obscuring the TOTP number like it's a password or state secret.

TIL and nice bit of trivia!

I always saw Ken as just as out of touch as the rest of the characters, but I think you're right. Relatively speaking, he is the straight man character. TIL.

Thanks!

Veep is, obviously, about D.C. and I'm from Maryland which is not far from there, so the eastern dialect "vah" is what everyone uses here. So I guess Kent is correct.

Personally, I love that layout.

I'm always at a loss for what to put up as wall decorations, and I hate rats nests of cables. Win-win!

New U.S. rules will soon ban Chinese software in vehicle systems that connect to the cloud

Seems to me that the easiest way to get into compliance would be to not make the car connect to the cloud/internet. I'm gonna drive my 2017 model until I can buy a new car that isn't a smartphone on wheels.
