RE: https://fosstodon.org/@samvarma/116116851674585165 And that's 4 attempts now Frozen "It just works" What a fucking joke

On my 3rd attempt at activating my mother in law's new iPad. No, we don't want Touch ID; no we don't want a passcode. Process freezes here each time. Been at it for 45mins. The idea of literally anyone else in the family pulling it off is laughable, never mind the elderly.

The office last night

Picked this up. Seems like it'll be useful to have wah/vol/exp in one pedal. And one can tweak the wah sound so should be able to make it work easily. #guitar #gearsquad https://www.hotone.com/products/press/Wong-Press

#ios26 ladies and gentlemen, pinnacle of design, elevates the content, delights the user

Shot I took in 2018 backstage (before playing with them) of Art Alexakis (Everclear) and Anton Cosmo (formerly of Boston). #monochrome #portrait #rockstar #everclear #boston

Today in #ios26: playing a playlist to my sound bar via AirPlay, and after each song ends the next one starts playing silently, even though volume is up et cetera. If I restart the new song, then it plays without any other issues, until the next song.

So I guess talking shit about other socials hits quite a nerve over here on tha 'Don 🤣

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@samvarma/116089604971387896 Facebook I basically need for work so I'm fucked. Never browse, never post anything personal.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@samvarma/116089604971387896 Insta also completely useless, other than for a business to show proof of life. Basically a storefront window for potential clients. 3:1 or even 4:1 ads vs content I'm following. Like standing in the middle of a freeway hoping to run into […]

Just deleted my Bluesky account. Fucking useless waste of time.

RE: https://indieweb.social/@awfulwoman/116087717954637249 Checked this out... super intriguing

RE: https://mastodon.social/@daringfireball/116087134812409590 Or, iOS has become arcane and obtuse. Even the most ultra-hardened Apple OG is losing touch with the OS.

Fun gig! Yours truly on guitar, video and audio post 😁 @maggiespeaksband https://www.threads.com/@maggiespeaksband/post/DU1eW_sEW-r

TIL WTF LUFS are #audio

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@samvarma/116037816367638660 If I post something related to this, and you find yourself thinking "oh that's easy all you have to do is just..." you've made my point for me

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@samvarma/116037816367638660 Just had to explain to my wife the 15-step process to change the image on the home screen, which used to be one tap from the share sheet of the photo #iphone #ios26 #ios

Anyone have issues with audio sync when using the HDMI out of an M4 MBP?? Tried to send video to a TV with a normal HDMI cable and audio sync was a couple seconds off, and it kept getting worse, with audio stuttering throughout. #hdmi #macos

The office couple nights ago. The historic Indiana Roof Ballroom, Indianapolis. Over 100 years old, it was once one of America's most prestigious ballrooms and hosted the greatest big bands including Benny Goodman and Cab Calloway 😳 Stunning place!

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@samvarma/116060216461429958 Wow so apparently this post has gone viral and been seen 60 million times

RE: https://flipboard.com/@musicradar/musicradar-0aq0nt32z/-/a-n8_ldtXETZqnWYlaP-U9BQ%3Aa%3A2568902113-%2F0 Man this was fantastic. Watching an absolute master at the instrument attempt to learn a stone cold classic on the fly. #music #keyboards #synth #synthesizer

The office tonight

RE: https://cyberplace.social/@viraptor/116040030317756274 WHat. ThE. FUck. This is absolutely bonkers. And quite frankly, probably indicative of where things are headed. 100w head vs this, just practically speaking? Ask yourself which investment would lead to you playing more...

Apple is losing the normals. At a superb owl gathering and everyone is complaining about #ios updates changing everything, and a specific example is enabling crossfade in Music by default. Decision has been made not to update grandma's iPad going forward because that would render it effectively […]

And I thought AI upscaling and noise reduction were slow as shit

Fuck me... Topaz AI upscaling eats the battery on my M4 Pro 16" MBP faster than it can recharge. Been working for about four hours, with the computer plugged in the whole time, and I'm at half battery 🤯
