Don't forget that this was an actual headline a few days back.

I'm a proponent of for health and quality of life reasons. But I find it concerning that not even Zoom believe it is doable.

Artificial Intelligence is not inherently evil.

yeah, I know I excluded Australia and much of Asia. But I didn't have the data in front of me :) please feel free to respond with numbers... I fully suspect that HiLux will dominate Australia too, and Corolla much of Asia.

Best-selling car models vary widely across different regions of the world. In this toot, I will compare the sizes of the following areas: ASEAN, Latin America, Europe, North America, and the world overall.

ASEAN is a regional grouping of 10 countries in Southeast Asia. The best-selling car model in ASEAN in 2021 was the Toyota Hilux. The second best-selling car model was the Isuzu D-Max, another pickup truck. So the ASEAN region loves pickups!

Latin America is a region that includes Mexico, Central America and South America. The best-selling car model in Latin America in 2021 was also the Toyota Hilux. Another pickup-loving part of the world.

Europe is a continent that consists of 44 countries. The best-selling car model in Europe in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y.

North America is a continent that includes Canada, the United States and Mexico. The best-selling car model in North America in 2022 was the Ford F-Series,.

Africa again favours pickups and again the HiLux is the best-selling car.

The world is a planet that has about 200 countries and territories. The best-selling car model in the world in 2022 was the Toyota Corolla, a compact car.

Why is the world average a small car but the most popular in terms of single models almost always a pickup? Because second, third, and fourth places do tend to be dominated by popular small cars around the world.

Asking me to estimate how long something will take is like asking me to guess how many gumballs are in the jar, but I can’t see the jar.

I watched a few movies on flights recently and the best by far was "Para entrar a vivir". I won't spoil it at all :) but if you like thrillers this is fun.

when you start designing boards with hundreds of components, you start realizing the limits of being right 99% of the time.

Bad news: September still hasn't ended. And may never end. We should re-print all the calendars for clarity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_

When I got to Manila I posted a photo saying “I’m not in Europe anymore” just SUVs everywhere, now here’s a photo around the corner of my house… definitely in Europe again, small hatchbacks everywhere.

On #MasterSystemMonday here’s “Ghostbusters”. Activision’s 1984 game was originally released on multiple home computers before being ported to #Sega #MasterSystem by Compile in 1987. The game is loosely based on the hit film of the same name.

I’ve been away enjoying the beach and my box now needs lots of update…

There’s a massive need to replace the Jeepney, they are banned from many places nowadays and something that’s affordable for drivers and safe for modern roads is needed. I hope Toyota solves this problem.
