For a bit more context, this is the fan project “Bloodborn Kart” with its IP serial numbers filed off.
Haha, oh wow, I had somehow missed that. Brian’s done great work with Carrot.
CARROT’s big premium selling point is letting you pick which weather data provider the app references. Darksky/Weatherkit went through a perceived slump after their acquisition, so folks turned to sites like https://www.forecastadvisor.com/ to figure out who was providing the most accurate data in their region.
Other than that, it offers up a few more detailed views, push notifications, and other UI tweaks. They’re one of those companies that tries jumping onboard with things like Apple Watch apps or home screen widgets ASAP.
You probably don’t need CARROT, but if you don’t like the stock Weather app, CARROT probably has something for you.

It’s probably worth mentioning that the book’s a police procedural / crime novel. 👍 It takes place about 25 years after the fictional pandemic. The story starts off with a robot-piloting protagonist’s first day on the job as part of the FBI’s robot-crimes division. It almost won a Hugo and is worth taking a look at if the premise sounds interesting.
It’s Lock-In by John Scalzi. After a ~weird flu~, a large portion of the population are left paraplegic and can only interact with the world by remotely controlling humanoid robots. It’s still fairly early on in the tech, so most folks are walking around in generic of the shelf units that are only a few generations removed from the Boston Dynamics or Atlas robots.
It was a really weird novel to be reading during the first week of Covid shutdowns.
Search for “wil wheaton amber benson audiobook verge” and their story on the book and its sequel should be the first thing that pops up.
Gah. Was struggling with Lemmy’a spoiler tags and just made a whole new comment. Hopefully things don’t get screwy with federation.
Reminds me of when a recent sci-fi author wrote a first person novel with an androgynously named protagonist. They didn’t ever directly refer or allude to the character’s sex in the novel. Fan communities and book clubs spent months realizing they’d subconsciously given the protagonist pronouns in their head. (It’s less awkward than it sounds due to the sci-fi premise.) The author only addressed it months after it came out. They got both Wil Wheaton and Amber Benson to create identical audiobooks for the sequel.
I still cannot believe NASA managed to re-establish a connection with Voyager 1.
That scene from The Martian where JPL had a hardware copy of Pathfinder on Earth? That’s not apocryphal. NASA keeps a lot of engineering models around for a variety of purposes including this sort of hardware troubleshooting.
It’s a practice they started after Voyager. They shot that patch off into space based off of old documentation, blueprints, and internal memos.

It’s a soup made with chicken broth, shredded chicken, tomatoes, onion, garlic, herbs, spices, and semi-submerged crispy corn products. They’re some authentic Mexican versions, and some incredibly TexMex versions. The black beans and corn put this firmly in the yeehaw territory, but it’s at least got some freshly toasted pasilla chiles and fried corn tortillas.

Thanks for the nudge, meant to post this earlier!
