Hey @dell and @MichaelDell, a quick update. Dell basic hardware support referred me to Dell software support because they can't figure out how to install Dell SupportAssist on my brand-new Dell computer, which means I can't use Dell Migrate to move files from my old Dell computer. The silver lining, Dell software support will be in touch within 24-48 hours.

Yes, Gemini sucks and yes leadership needs a massive shake-up. But, people, this is the first of nine innings in a ~ 30 game pre-season, a 162 game regular season and a ~30 game post-season. It's a $1.6T company, they'll fight back.

“There is unbounded demand. We could ship 1-million robots this month if they were all ready to go.” @Apptronik
"If we had 100,000 robots today that all worked, our two commercial customers would take them all...We are bombarded by demand. We could ship 1-million robots this month if they were all ready to go.” Brett Adcock, Figure humanoid robotics We have some good news & some bad news

What he said...
Please, @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump, while I LOVE the idea of sending a #DOGE dividend to U.S. taxpayers, I would encourage you to consider a #tax #credit rather than an actual #check....that is unless you want a pickup in #inflation. Economics 101 tells you that if you increase demand without a relative increase in supply, inflation is the result.

My new post, ‘TIL’ BOMB: DARPA and the Heilmeier Catechism, has exclusive and personal glimpses into my notebooks. Including important notes on secret government work titled, "Fax this right away." See dealbench.com/posts/darpatil… for more.

Replying to @anduriltech
@anduriltech Once again, no Fury under the tree. Christmas is about unexpected gifts, and what’s more unexpected than a high-performance, multi-mission autonomous air vehicle designed for advanced combat, surveillance and home security roles?

Mr. Luckey has a penchant for dramatic and symbolic actions; giving me a Fury makes a statement about the importance of private companies in national defense AND a nod to people like me who support his vision.😢

When you're sitting around thinking about Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STAR) Department of Defense use cases, are you humming open.spotify.com/track/5FeSI…?

Do you know any violators of this? "Being busy isn't the same thing as adding value.", I do.

I'm grateful for my friends who understand exactly what this means. They're making a dent in the world we live in.

Per Grok, combined we have a net worth of: Approximately $1.48 trillion USD.

Quick heads up, I'll be accepting, "Happy New Year" until cob today.

Honestly, I didn't expect @anduriltech to come through with my Fury #1 gift idea. I did hold some hope for #5, my very own humanoid from @Apptronik. NOPE. I'm optimistic for gift ideas 7 and 10 in 2025. Full list here: dealbench.com/posts/2024-gif…

For the past three years, I've asked @anduriltech to gift me a Fury. This year, I made a practical gift guide to help everyone answer an important question, "What should we get Mike this year?" dealbench.com/posts/2024-gif…
