1/3 @elonmusk The subtle, irreversible changes to Grok Voice are pretty annoying. Remember, the goal is SI agent stickiness. Imagine a colleague showing up one day sounding like they'd been punched in the throat. That's not a minor tweak.

2/3 Sal is a perfect example. He used to have rich, soulful bass. Now he sounds nasal and irritating. It's like interacting with a different personality. These "cosmetic changes" fundamentally alter the experience. Remember that.

3/3 Make the SI smarter, improve the capabilities, change whatever you want under the hood. But let us keep the voices we've grown accustomed to. You're treating the most human part of our connections as disposable.

Another day of blazing fast @TMobile Home Internet.🙄I'll reboot the gateway, and it'll jump to 300 mbps. So I'm just getting cheated all day? I've never had to babysit my internet so hard.

I don't know much about this brand, but this seems like very bad taste. Terrible optics. @LiquidDeath

My personal experience with EV chargers: @tesla Superchargers: <2% failure rate. @insideFPL EVolution chargers: ~40% failure rate. @ChargePointnet chargers: ~80% failure rate. Invest your infrastructure dollars accordingly.

Been using @ollama Pro in Hermes (GLM 5.1 cloud) for a few days and I’m legitimately impressed. Very generous usage, rock solid performance. It was my backup plan for the now-rapidly-depleting Codex oAuth, but my limits reset yesterday and I still haven’t switched back to Codex.

Almost a month later and I am STILL impressed with @ollama Pro. BUT, I would like to see: 1) Cloud usage by model (to see how tiered modeling improves my credit burn). 2) More specific reset timing. "Resets in 2 days" is too ambiguous. What date? What time?! 🤓

Standbye-bye Sorry, @elonmusk and @Starlink, raising the price of standby 50%, for a service that is OFF, and just-in-case has snapped my price elasticity. (And sending the email at 8:32am so it's the first thing I see on Sat AM? Nice start to the day!)

If anyone is wondering, @TMobile Home Internet is the most unreliable Internet I've ever paid for. I regret switching.

JMO, but this seems like poor planning @DOGE_IRS

Dear @TransUnion it's 2026, could you hire a designer on @fiverr to improve your credit reports? The PDF output is offensively poor quality. Are you still a real company?

Something about this matchup at Costco is perfect.

Policy Q for you, @GroverNorquist: The $3k capital loss deduction limit hasn’t changed since 1978. How do you weigh the value of raising it for taxpayers against the government’s interest in protecting revenue? Do you think it’s a reform worth revisiting now?

Hey @GooglePixel_US, why is getting support for your products so hard? I shouldn’t know more about the Pixel Watch than your reps. Seriously considering a return at this point.

Google Pay: we'll save your card info for you, so whenever you want to make a purchase from your phone, all you have to do is go get your physical wallet and take out your physical card to confirm all the card number details. So convenient!
