Considering this is starting to feel like we're locked in here with a maniac billionaire I'm now officially out here.

I’d encourage anyone who wants to see free and open discourse to look for a different platform. I can’t mention which I’ll be using due to the new draconian rules. This is my last tweet.

I've noticed that Apple Maps is... actually good now. It shows a lot of detail (like foot paths) that Google Maps just fails to provide in many parts of the UK. Google Maps is also behind Apple Maps on raw map data a lot in the UK now, which is super surprising

The old rubber of the rear tires didn’t hold up too well now they’re being used. Thanks to awesome people on the internet replacements are on order https://t.co/H0R8Flzz8e

Found the problem with the steering control, a small bit of plastic holding the assembly had broken allowing things to shift. Bit of glue and it’s alive!

Can't recommend highly enough the Moonlander keyboard from ZSA. Best keyboard I've ever owned. https://t.co/9ClxOiNxaY being able to build my own layout is so so nice

Took apart the car thinking it was a servo issue but that was all fine. Turns out it’s a controller issue, playing with the trim on the controller board I get full movement. Something up with the input to the board.
