I played the sync clock game with a couple of audio interfaces and an ADAT optical cable this afternoon. Gees I hate digital. 😭

I suggest the following question: "Is it true that you only say that an outlet is 'fake news' when the report asks a question about the Epstein Files? And if not, why not?" Journalists need to coordinate their questioning and trap him.

If you're at work, and there's a shared drive (Google Shared Drive or Sharepoint or whatever...), DON'T MAKE EMPTY FOLDERS! It's organisational pageantry. You're not actually tidy. You're just saying: "If I had done my job, this is where I would store it..."

USB-C cables are so weird. Transfer speeds are vastly different. First cable estimated 63 hours to transfer. Second cable did it in 2 minutes.

Recolonising is a word I wish I hadn’t learned today.

Exceptional. Takes me back to TLDR and whatever came after that …

This thing about not turning a fridge on for a few hours after you’ve moved it is weird. Apparently, it *might* damage the compressor. But how many fridges have your thrown out because of a failed compressor?

Verity Johnson with the tea. We need more of this, exposing Nat as the lying financial duds they are. Especially from the press gallery - call out these bastards to their faces. Put it on the telly so Nat voters can see. #nzpol

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
