As a Bolt owner I was surprised that Google didn't do this long ago. But in my first look it is pretty bare bones.

Zoom out and see charge stations for a road trip?: No

Filter by paid/free?: No

Filter by ChargePoint, EVGo, Greenlots, Electrify America, ...?: No

Filter by CHAdeMO, CCS, Supercharger, Tesla Destination, 14-50 outlet?: No

Show chargers along route?: No

Trip planning?: No

Tesla owners will probably stick with the Tesla apps and I'll wait till it is better than Plugshare, A Better Route Planner and the like.

What a relatively recent first-world "problem".

I had a shared slide-rule. Literally. Till I got my own. https://www.flickr.com/photos/...

Then I advanced to programmable calculators and punch cards.

Seriously, where do these pundits come from?

Well, the "Here" powered geolocation map on Flickr describes the location of photos I've taken by Fremont Street in Las Vegas as "Homeless Corridor, Las Vegas, Nevada".

Indeed. There are real estate listings that don't mention Richmond, California at all preferring "Carriage Hills", "Brickyard Cove", "Marina Bay", "Hilltop Green", etc.

Same here. One Unicomp at home and at work. Both are in the 18-20 year old range and both work fine.

Since the net neutrality laws expired, the only piece of this to pay attention to is "...we reserve the right to implement a new congestion management system..."

Who will the new data-hogs be? Netflix? Youtube?

I don't think even that goes far enough. I would argue that the *only* bandwidth number one could advertise is the 95th percentile minimum guaranteed speed. That would encompass both speed and reliability in one number. They should also be required to list maximum latency even though most of the population won't understand it - at least at first.

As to advertising in general, I personally think that it is false advertising to show any product other than how it is regularly delivered and commonly and properly used. No doctored up glam shots of a fast food burger - show it as it typically appears right after you peel off the greasy paper. Same thing for any ad that requires a disclaimer of the "professional driver, closed course, do not attempt" variety.

Almost every report I've read about this has a comment that it is illegal to fly within 5 miles of an airport which is simply untrue. You can fly within 5 miles of any airport. If the airport is not in Class B airspace then you are required to *notify* the operator and, if there is a control tower, the tower of your operational plans. Within Class B airspace, which does not cover either stadium as they are not within 5 miles of San Francisco International, you need permission and must coordinate with the controllers.

But it *is* illegal to fly within 3 miles of a NFL stadium from one hour before to one hour after a scheduled game. Similar restrictions apply to certain other sporting events like NASCAR and NCAA division one football.

And the miles are *nautical* miles which are roughly 15% greater than statute miles. The reporters never make that distinction, either.

We did lots of pre-planning, selected Jackson Hole and got reservations about a year ago for eight of us. Weather looked iffy for a bit but was clear for the eclipse. Crowds were not bad in town. The locals called it just slightly busier than a normal summer weekend. We suspect that there are only so many rooms available and people got scared off by the hype. Outside town in the Tetons it was a different story.

Took some photos (mostly automated to not miss the experience). https://flic.kr/s/aHsm6RakMj

I also uploaded about 150 shots to the Eclipse Megamovie: https://eclipsemega.movie/

My wife bought a Wave IV Soundtouch with a 30-day return policy - the only good policy they have and the one we exercised.

Want to set the thing up and use the features you paid for like Internet radio? You have to use the app. The first thing the app requires to even start setup is access to your location. WTF? Then there is their so-called "privacy" policy (which is currently so private that they have broken links on their site so you can't even find it now) that allows them to track your listening (which could even include AM, FM, CD, etc), combine it with other info and sell or use it for marketing purposes.

In the words of my sound engineer friend: BOSE stands for Bring Other Sound Equipment.
